It was a pretty game?fast, snapp> and replete with tteidlnp, stunts of the sensational variety. Indeed. Anderson, for the Ashland crowd, probably saved the same for his team by using a pretty bit of headwork In the eighth, catching Baldwin oil" third base, from which he would have scored on Gill's single to left, which immediately fol? lowed. It was an enthusiastic crowd of rooters which Journeyed out to the park to watch the contest. Randolph Macon came down in a body, and prac? tically every man at the local college was out to see the game The weather was Ideal, and both pitchers worked well, neither being hit hard. and neither passed a man. Blantou Strong in Pinches. Blanton. for the Yellow Jackets, was heady and cool, especially with men on bases. Though hit more freely than Baldwin, several of the hits were of the scratchy variety, and but two were for extra bases ? Meredith's home run and Gresham's double, both in the ; ninth. It was amply a case of Rich? mond College losing to a team which played excellent and heady ball, while the collegians did not by any means put up the article of which they aro capable. Baldwin pitched superb ball, strik? ing out eleven of the visitors, and with the support which such pitching deserved should have scored a shut? out. At that the college had a most excellent chance to win In the ninth. Meredith led off with a home run to centre, but Taylor poked an easy one to Eggleston and was oui; Beale Loulsville, Ky..

Richmond Scored in Second. The other run for Richmond came In the second. Meredith got a life when Howe let Ives's throw set through him, j and he continued on to second while they were hunting for the ball, taking third by a dating piece of buse run? ning and a close decision. He scored when Gresham planked one to left, in several innings the college had men left on bases, but Blanton tightened up at the critical stages and the hit which would have meant a run and the game was not forthcoming. The three, und only runs for the visitor:-, came in the Initial frame. Tat em. Anderson and Kccrleston stored on Gresham's error, and hits by An? derson and Eggleston, coupled with an error by Clarke am! Bevll's out. In j no other innintr were the Ar.hlandors dangerous, and In only one innng did they (ret a man beyond second base. In the tifth Blanton singled and wont to third when Tatem duplicated, but died there.

The. fact of Iho manor Is thai all managers every? where, having given more time to bat? ting practice, have neglected the lield'ng end of the'game. They have been training mon In hitting, be? lieving that they were fielders by na? ture hut required training to become hitters. Every manager wan hopeful of producing a Ty Cobb, or N'ap La jolc. or Tris Speaker or some of that calibre. A good many of the youngsters be? came apt pupils and are now hitting. They are. hitting because of two Illings. First, the pitchers have not minded Into form, and, second, be? cause the Holders arc not fielding as they will do later. When you give more time to any one department than to another, you strengthen the de? partment to which most attention Is given, and you necessarily weaken that department which Is slighted.
