COLTS EXHIBIT HEELS

Big Crowd See Lucal Club Take Fourth Game in One
Week?Eight Hits Made to Count for
Equal Number of Huns.
By Earle Lutz.
8olld baso wallops -when they were needed accounted for Rich
mond's decisive victory over Rocky Mount ycBterdaji afternoon at Mayo
Island Park. The Tarheels were turned back, the second time In three
days, by a score of 8 to 4, the win giving the Colts the series, a feat
which they accomplished earlier In the week against Wilson, the other
North Carolina aggregation flying the colors of the Virginia League.
Mike Flnncgan did the mound duty for Richmond and did creditable
work, considering the brand of support given him. Sharp fielding by the
Inner guards twice smacked the Tarheels between the eyes when the
tide of battle seemed on the turn. Fried was doing mound duty for
Rocky Mount and while he yielded fewer hits than Flnnegan, the Colts
bunched their blowH opportunely and effectively.
Th# game was marred by three errors, two for Richmond and one
for Rocky Mount. Thompson was the offender for the Colts, one being
tho result of fighting the ball and the other an Imperfect peg. In each
case It was over-anxiety that caused the error.

KIWANIANS-ROTARIANS BATTLE
ON DIAMOND HERE WEDNESDA Y
Annual Baseball Struggle Between, Rival Clans Will Be
Played This Year at Boulevard Field?Teams
Prepare for Clash.
Klwanis vs. Rotarlrtns, Boulevard
Field, Wednesday afternoon.
This, the annual diamond struggle
between the leading lights of our
town, Is set for this week. And with
the rival teams oiled and greased up
to per^tlon, the fun-loving public
of Richmond Is promised a rar$ treat;
for tho fur will fly when the two all
star aggregations line up against
each other.
-Noises, creaks and groana emanat
ing from the rival camps during the
past week have proclaimed the fact
that the two baseball machines are
bring brought out from their covers
and are belnn put Into shape for?the
game. Not since last summer has
either of them been used, and conse
quently It waB' to he expected that
they would require quite a. good deal
of 'doctoring before they would be-fit
for tho public to gaze upon. -But
now, we are told. Ill Is ready, and
they will com6 forth In all their ma
jesty ahd glory Wednesday.
Rumors have It that many of the
old parts of said machines ? In use
last year have been removed and new
pieces shove.d. In with the prime pur
pose of efficiency enough to beat the
enemy. It Is even said that some of
.the most eminent baseball folk of
our town are. to be used by both
sldea In this effort. ?

Colts Winning Without Mythical Martin
GOSSIP OF SPORTDOM
Boxing and Rowing on Program for Week
lly KAKLK IAJTZ
It 1b pleasant to record four to the good for the Colts in a Dingle ;
week. Only once, way back In May, did Richmond have such a week.
The speed at which the Colts are traveling may mean something better
than a tall-ond aggregation before tho end of the month. ?
UnleBB a Bchedule rearrangement 1b made early this week, the ColtB
will be absent from tho Island for some little time. Ab tho card now
readB, the next game here Is on July 31.
Carolina dubs ha,ve thrown up their hands and admit that week
end games in Richmond are a necessity for the Virginia League If It Is
to succeed financially. The sooner the other clubs come around the
better ofT the circuit will be. ? Richmond has been supporting a losing
team splendidly and practically holding the loop Intact. With a winner
it might be necessary to add to the bleachers If the week-end system was
again In Vogue.
While the Island will be unoccupied by the leaguers, negro baseball j
clubB will clash there for the first three games of the week." The Rich- '
mond GiantB have put up a sterling brand of ball and many white fans
are patronizing the contests.
The athletic card for the week is a varied one, with the monthly box- '
lng entertainment of the Church Hill Athletic Club tomorrow night and
the regatta of the Southern Rowing Association on,Saturday. In mid
week the Rotarlans and Klwanluns will stage their annual diamond bat
tle on Wednesday at Boulevard Field.
Mythical Martin seems to be his moniker.
But Billy has served his purpose even if he does not join the Colts.
The fact that he was available has had Aragon and Comlakey working
at the speed which they are capable of. Under the spur of fear both have
performed well during the week, especially the Cuban, whose work
earlier wag more of the nature of a relapse than a slump.
Norfolk has set out to recoup fi
nancial reverse* early by disposing
of two jcafrers. for post-season de
livery. Third Baseman Gallagher
and i'ltclier Matthews are the men
who'gfl a chance In faster company,
both yoing to the Boston Nationals
for a consideration not named.

watching.

It Is an extreme act of courtesy
on the part of the Southern Rowing
Association to make Richmond the
place for the renewal of the annual
regattas which were Interrupted by
the war.
Richmond staged the Initial re
gatta of the association In 191 R. and
It was an unusually successful af
fair. The Arlels, Arundels and Po
tomacs entered crews, with the Vir
ginia Boat Club making" a sweep
of the feature, event In as pretty a
race as could be wished. The Vir
ginias went North the following
year, and then war Interrupted tho
annual events.
Since Its organisation In the spring
of 1916, William B. Crawford, of
Richmond, has been president of the
association. He Is a keen boatsman
and clisan sportsman of the type that
amateur sports far outshine the more
widely heralded professional con
testa.
Coach Hecox, ? of the Virginia Boat
Club, will watch anxiously some of
his old paplls attempting to vre8t
honors from his newer ones when
the Potomac* cross blades with tne
Richmond oarsmen. Hecox
out some great crews for the y*"";
lngton club, and much Is expected or
him here.
George Van Vllet ooaohed the ?uo
cessful crew of 1?1?. Van U now
with a Brooklyn club In the ?ame
capacity. ?.
With all of the
1. peculiar
^ tie mpiAtlo
odd thai the only Vlrjtlnla sehnlastla
institution having' a crew Is Wash
ington and Lee, far removed from a
larpe stream or lake. Richmond
College and William and Mary, with
splendid facilities for training crews,
neglect the sport that would he a
logical one for either.
The expense of a crew, however, is
one which any small school must
consider seriously In view of the
small chance of return from the re
gattas held on open water. Rich
mond College, almost a decade hack,
did go In for rowing and entered
competition with the Virginia Boat
Club.
Every fall there comes claims
from this, that and the other college
cr section In regard to the merits of
Its particular team. To settle all
controversies, I. B. Thomas, a Phlla
delphlan, has devised a method of
ranking college footl.all teams by a
system of points, which. If successful,
will mathematically settle the ques
tion in the future.
Mr. Thomas har gone to great
trouble to demonstrate his system
by using records of 298 . teams in
1921. On his system Washington and
Jeffurson Is rated as the best eleven
In the country. Lafayette, Penn
State, Center and Notre Dante come
111 order. Yale ranks sixth and Har
vard seventh. Princeton and-Penn
sylvania are not Included in the first
twenty-five," although Ave Southern
teams are in that class. Besides
Center. Georgetown, eleventh; Geor
gia Tech, thirteenth; University ot
rjeorpla. seventeenth, and Vander
bllt, eighteenth, ? are on the honor
roll. Navy Is ranked as fourteenth.
Virginia football followers will
dispute the results obtained by Mr.
Thomas. For 'nstance. the Unlver
sity of Richmond ranks one hundred
and seventh, while V. M. I. is one
hundred and iwenty-thljd. Virginia
Tech leads Virginia institutions as'
thirty-sixth, with Virginia flft.v-third
and Washington and Lee fifty-fourth.
University of North Carolina ranks'
as flfty-slxth and North Carolina
State as eighty-second.
The Thomas system is based on
the sporting axiom, "Little Is gained
by winning from and much Is lost
by losing to the teams of lower,
rank; and much is gained by winning
from and little Is lost by losing to
teams of higher rank." It is a mathe
matical affair and from It may te
worked out something practical.
In a musical league, the Pitts
burgh Pirates would win the pen
nant hands down. They have a vocal
quartet and a string orchestra that
Is good eno.igh for vaudeville, they
say. They are so good. In fact, that
they would rather "music" than base
ball at times. The Pirates lost a
pennant last year by clowning around
and they are ruining their chances
this season. Maranvllle and Grimm
seem to be out after Nick Altrock'a
record and the mere matter of a
KB me or two Is nothing when It
comes to fun.
The special sweepstakes designed
to bring Whlskaway and Grey I.ag
together at the Empire City track
on July 22 Is off. H. P. Whitney
sent word that Jimmy Rowe had de
cided that he could not get the con
queror of Morvlch ready to race
against such a formidable ' rival as
Grey Lag at the current meeting.
The race would surely have heen
pippin.

Hard for Big Water
Contest.
While the program has not been
completed. It Is probable that nine
events will make up the card for
the annual regatta of the Southern
flowing Association on the James
River next Saturday afternoon. Ar
rangements are being perfected for
th? affair, which promises to eclipse
anything of Its kind ever" staged In
Richmond.
Th? Virginia Boat Club will be
hnVls to th* crews representing
clubs of the association and through
th* local organization the arrange
ments are being made. The course
selected Is that used In the 1916 re
gatta with the finish opposite the
city wharf, where seating arrange
ments for guests of the clubs will
be made.
Knur ??RlKhU" Planned.
While the Junior "eight" now prom
ise* to he the feature event of the
regatta, It Is probable that there will
he Intermediate nnd possibly senior
"eights" entered. There will also be
a light weight "eight" eveqt. making
four of thnt kind on the program.
Other events will Include Junior
singles; Junior doubles; Junior quad
ruple sculls; centipede four-oared
gigs and canoe competitions. It Is
probable that swimming, diving and
tub races and tilting will be staged
In front of the city wharf to All In
the gaps while crews are getting into
position for the Atari.
It Is planned to start the regatta
at approximately 2 o'clock, although
It Is possible that It may s*art
earlier In order to accommodate
added events. The smarting line will
be one mile helow the city wharf and
a government boat will he secured to
patrol the course during the regatta.
Three rifles Rntered.
The Aerials and Arumlels of Bal
timore. will send crews to the re
gatta, as will the Potomac Boat Club,
of Washington. The latter club will
enter each event, while Arundels may
not enter the "eight-vared events.
K. O. Wood is captain of the Vir
ginia Boat Club crews and C. W.
Hecox. veteran Washington oarsman
and Instructor, Is coach for the Rich
mond club. Two full crews are prac
ticing dally for the races, hut as
Coach Hecox frequently makes elev
enth-hour changes, there is no tell
ing with certainty who will man the
Virginia shell when It noses the
starting line. The first eight Is now
made up of Sm'lthers. stroke.; Massey,
Franck, Devlne. l^each. King. Brock
and ltader, with T.afoon, coxswain.
Others trying for the crew are Rich
ardson, Hull, Pe Motte, Cravens,. Sto
vall. Minor, Stepbenson. Gallagher
nnd Williams. Tho.se falling to get
a seat In the eight will man the Junior
four-oared gig.
Hecox Is Veternn Conch.
Coach Hecox. who slood In the way
of the Virginians three years In a
row. when his Potomac crews led
them across the finish line. Is con
fident that he will do equally as
well with his new pupils. The crew's
'nave been working energetically for

moment later by a wild spoon shot, cost John Black, Oakland, Cal., pro
fessional, n tie for first, and these strokes, with a missed putt, a few
greens earlier, kept him from winning the title. He finished a stroke

second, while William Mehlhorn, of Shreveport, La., was fourth with
290, and Walter Hagen. of Detroit, British open champion, fifth, with
