Crawford was the puzzle, nnd by keeping ills lilts scattered hu heal thu champions until tl)o last. B?t ? was Crawford's corking three-sucker In the first inning that put the paralytic feel? ing Into the spines qf the champions. It just happened that there wore threo run? ners located on tho bases when the south? paw twlrlor got against one of Winston's benders ?.tul drovn it to lini freo coun? try. The runners had to get oft the bags, for Crawford was appropriating everything in sight. '* Barton Heights sneaked up on' the Brownies by chastising the team from Manchester. And this was it good game of ball for seven Innings. Leake, the mysterious curvoologlst for the Manches? ter aggregation, was practically put out of commission In the seventh by a batted ball that did things to his two fingers. Taylor sent a "no drive to the box ar? tist, and Lenke had a finger jammed up In stopping the. sphere Tho score was 6 to I at the end of the game in favor of the hoys from across the divide. Un? til the seventh inning It was one to ono. Brooks wns the Ice cream for tho High? landers. John Anthony found liini for two ? sacks, an?! Albort Anthony Is recorded | with a lilt that some think he shouldn't have. The ball was sent down towards lirst and Tritton failed to get-it. The question was whether to give Tritton an error or Albert a hit, unit the latter de? cision was reached, But with this ono, the column only shows two hits for the nine innings,' Brooks has been pitching good ball all the season, but he was never In better trim than yiisterday, and with the exception of one inning, the team behind him did good work. When Leake went out fit the opening of the eighth Inning, Th1r.dbaseiv.an Ed? wards went-Jri* KdwurdB handed them over in ? straightforward kind of way. In fact ho made one two straight wlion Phillips was at bat, nnd as a result the batter connected safely, Tho ball sailed itilo dee-p center. It kept on sailing .mei ?before It was again in the diamond Phillips had spiked the rubber, Tt was the first time this season that a homo run has been made on a ball batted Inside of the park. The other home, runs have gone over the fence. The First Game.'' Richmond went to the hat and Jones, the snappy lltt.ln thirdheiseinun, leon nect'ed safely, Bauer, Ilio midget, re? ceived transportation to first and iCnlglil ley went down lo lb?? first bag on Win? ston's error. Crawford swung nt the first one and fouled, l?ur h,< mot the? next one miunrely In tlie? eye nnd all tho bases Avere .cleared, Shiiunnossoy qzoncd and Shelton sent nn?? to free country, scoring Crawford, Konnlnghnm nnel S?>nf went out. Again in the llilrd Ilici Rlchmontiers pot busy with the run column. Boh Knlghtlev led with :i clean single nnd Crawford forced him tn mnv? to second by receiving ? compllmonti?ry. Shhuii nessey wonl ont to first, but Bob moved 1r> third. Shclton bllTcd ? good one agnln and both runners tallied. This wns all the Richmond boys got, but tho six runs were a plenty, In tho llftli Inning Die Brownies scored ono run and a combination of errors In the sixth inning gave them two inoro runs. Rriwi-rs'ivd with .a single anil Roso duplicated 'tlii'*'tr?ck. Sharp and Hogan fanned, and Gr.ilnur got a single. Tho ball went to centerfleld and Konnlng )??m failed to stop it.

And Hippy Is an enthusiast and knows the game pretty well, Anyway, ho Is the most ardent rooter In tho city. The Highlanders scored one run In the first Inning on a combination of errors.
