Petersburg tied the score, and made" the only run ihat she was able to make, in the third ■Jnning. on a base on ball?, Holland being hit by a pitched" ball. Berte's error of Hennager's easy grounder, and Kelly's f=ins:le. Richmond took the lead in her half of the third inning on singles by Drauby and Tannehil! and Hunt's wild throw. The lvmaininf? six innings of the pame was a beautiful exhibition of ball playing.
