WHERE THEY PEAT TO-DAY
Richmond :ii Petersburg.

in (.1 - SIAl.UEftT.
Petersburg, Vu., August 1.?Bo cairn,
gentle rodder. It is with many mis?
givings thai this tale is unfolded, out
truth must out. even as murder, or
Heinie Busch and his assistants did
nil that they could to help the Colts
win that game to-day. It was no use.
Even though nine errors were made
in Buschvllie. and ven though the
Colts batt;d out eleven safe hits. Pe?
tersburg won the second game of tho
Serie?, ? to f.. after ten <nnlngs of
play. And the crowd got its money s j
worth.
The one and only solace which
comes Bichmond way is that we nearly
?won. Strange as it may seem to the
unknowing, there is vast satisfaction
In contemplating w-hat nearly hap-'
pened. The wheel has been going the
wrong way around so long that the
winning side is uiruost up. and when!
it gets there?but what's the use. j
Sb? One ltun.
As appears from the bald statement ;
of fact that PctereDiirg won. 6 to 5. |
the Colts came within one of not hav?
ing lost the game. Of course. It would
have taken two to win. but even a
tie would look mighty good to the'
folks on the north tide of the James.
Ah for winning?weil, George Cowan
promises that that will happen to
niorrov so let's live in hope and die
In despair.
Manager Cowan selected Portpaw
Hanks to overwhelm the Goobers to?
day, and Heinle Busch trotted out
lArry Har.nlfan. who has been ox
c edlngly kind to Richmond in tn?
past. Hacks was not In form. His
upeed of former frays was not ap?
parent, and he was ->o frequently in
the fiele from no: being able to lo- '
cnte the rubber that groovers were.
The order of the day, and when they
did split the middle something split
the air. and most generally it was the
p?'.let on damage l er.t from the willow
of a trusty Goober.
But hard hitting was not all that!
caused the downfall of the Colts, justi
a few errors figured In tht struggle,!
and while the errors made by Rich- j
ynond were not as great numerically as !
those made by Petersburg, they did]
Vastly more damage. Cowan look pity
^_t/\ Hanks toward the linier part of I
the game and In the fifth Johnny Ver
b it, who did yeoman service Monday,
replaced the starter. John ild exceeu
Ingly well until the fatal tenth, when
a double and a idngle caused his v
doing, cringing home Uio run which

, is the first time this season ho has
; gone th's far against the Colts, and.
! in justice to l^arry. it should he said
! that it was not his fault. Seven big.
! juicy errors worked against him, and
; he did remarkably well to go as far
I ns he did with tho miserable support
1 he was receiving.
I Richmond scored first, and It hap
i pened In the second, when Maitis
caught one on the nose and drove It
, bo far into contrefle.'d that not even
perfect relay work on the part of the
; outergardenera ><>uid keep him from
' making the circuit. It was one of the;
i hardest hit bal'^; ever made In the
] new Goober park, and made the crowd
j sit up and crane ltb collective necks
I following the bull.
Then came PotursMirg. slapping one
! riant back In the closing half of tho
j third. It was a gift offering pure and
I simple Simmons got a. life on Baker's
error, and was sent to second on the
sacrifice plan, keeping on to thlra
! when nobody was round covering tn*
' bag. Dobson then pulled the hone play
ivhlch caused a criflrifec in th> entiro
' gume. Instead of hokd'ng the ball he
luraved it at the empty Sag. und Plm
mons came on in. laugn'ng at tho
stupidity which made the score pos?
sible.
Muke tintur Try.
It was all over after that, even
though a game try was made to re
: cover the ground lost. A hit by Kell
' her. Howedell's life on a fielder's choice.
? and Spencer's triple, counted for two
' in the fourth. Then Spencer scored
i on Hannifnn's sinsle. making it a to
1 lal of three tor the round. No more
scoring was done by Petersburg until
the tenth, when Laughlln's double and
Kcllher'S single brought home the run
which put Petersburg higher In the
percentage column.
In addition to Mattls's home run,
Richmond's scores came in the sixth,
seventh and ninth, tho one in the last
named lnntng causing the tie which
made the game go to an extra frame.
Martin hit In the sixth, and took sec?
ond when Anthony let the ball get
away, advancing to third on Mattis's
hit. and scorins on Slmntons's error.
McCabe and Martin scored In the sev
enth, both counting on Howedell's
error in letting the ball get away
from his when thrown by Simmons,
who tried to force Martin at second
with the bases tanked. The final count
came in the ninth as a result of Mc
Cabe's triple and Wallace's double.
Petersburg tried hard to lose, but
couldn't. The score:
Richmond.

RAY MORGAN'S COMING
Washington. D. C August 1.?
Pitcher Cashion. the sapling from tho
Carolinas, arrived to-day. and. after
looking around In vain for the Na?
tionals' headqiurte.-.-. was steered out
to trie painted palace, where .he was
presented with a uniform by Professor
.loe Quirk, the Nationals' expert train?
er and major domo. Cashion Is a big
chap, who looks as if he ought to he
able to pitch a full ?ame without col?
lapsing. However, it Is unlikely trial
he will be started in a game much be- :
fore next week He has been over- I
worked in Greenville, pitching and
playing In the out field because of his
hitting, an.l Manager McAleer believes
that a rest will do him a lot of good
Ray Morgan, the alert and active Sn
Ilelder from Danville. Va.. will pot Join
the Nationals until Thursday, having
been given leave to keep somo ap?
pointments with a dentist there, but
he will bo here In a National uniform
Ueforc the end of tly> week. Morgan
is playing tiptop ball for Danville, and
all his friends are eager for him to ;
continue It when he gets under the
maintop. j
Although It has been generally ru?
mored that Mo'gnn will play second
base, Elberfeld going to third, there Is
far more likelihood of Morgan's going
to third and Elberfeld staying where
!..? is Morgan Is u shortstop, and
Manager McAleer bellevei that he will
have morc chance of succe-ss at third
on his trial than at second. Elberfeld
Is Viecomlng more acctiFtomed to the
work around the midway, and is being
kept In the game on account of his '
pepper and his work with the stick.
Pertinent Comment
By GUS MALBERT.
"Batteries for to-day's game: For
Richmond. Hogue and Lucia; for Be- [
tcrsburg. Bruckmiller and Laughlln." ;
That's Just what It is going to be. j
Lucia and Hogue both drifted Into
town yesterday, and accepted Manage?
Cowan's terms, and as these two hav?
been working together all season, they
will be given a chance to pull the
Colts out of the slough Into which
they have fallen. Lucia Is known to
be a good h ..-idler ot the pad. and he !
la authority for the statement t-tat
Hogue Is a bear for work, and anx- .'
ious to be at It all the time. Oulheen ;
is also expected to-day, and If he gets j
In this morning will be in a Colt uni?
form this afternoon.
There may be another change In |
the Colt line-up. Petersburg Ukos
Willie Baker. In fact. It Is iearne.'1
on reliable authority, likes him so!
well that Petersburg is willing to pay j
a price for the local third Backer, if ]
terms can be agreed upon, a sale may :
be effected. Simmons has not turned
out to be the murvel expected, and the I
Goobers want that rag. Therefore
they feel that by getting Baker they '
will Improve their Infield. Should Bak
er be sold, and the possibility is not
so remote, Richmond will not be with- I
out a third baseman. It will be re- ;
memborea that Priest made his repu- i
lation as a shortstop, and shortfleld- ]
ers always show better at third than
at the middle place. Therefore be
not surprised if Priest, who will be
well In a day or two, is shoved in at
third, with Oulheen at second, whll*
Baker will wear a Petersburg uni?
form. Might be better for all con- i
cerned.
If Houge shows anything and Is half !
as good as he is touted, it means that
Richmond will have to give the go
bye to another Slabman. Who will it
be. Two guesses can furnish the
man, for it must be either Jobson or
Revelle. There isn't to he much choice
at that. Dutch has not shown his old
tlmo speed, and Jobson Is a younsster i
who the catchers say is h comer. It'
Is up to Manager Cowan. Still, we j
may be going a little ahead of our !
horse to market, for maybe Hogue
will not make good.
While the game yesterday may fur-!
nlsh an opportunity for the purists in,
baseball to cavil and turn up their,
noses, the great unwashed who sitI
through a game because they like ill
will call the contest a howling success
?that is. from a Petersburg stand?
point. When a home team has a day
off. and that's what Petersburg had
yesterday, and can then come under j
the wire a winner, even though thc-|
whip is resorted to. It is, In the words j
of Colonel Bill Skillett. of sainted mem- j
ory, some lucky. Nine errors were|
made under the Busch yesterday, and j
yet the game was won. Larry Hanni
fan was the sufferer, and after thei
mlsplays of his teammates had put j
tho game in danger, he had to bear
the Ignominy of being yanked out. If
memory serves right, this is the great?
est number of miscues yet charged to
one team during the present season,
livery man on the team but the two
pitchers managed to bring down his;
"Guaranteed for Life."

fault He is hereby excused, but how
it happened follows: Baker let Sim?
mons get on by not handling his
chance. Spencer sacrificed and was
out, but nobody covering third. Sim?
mons'took the opportunity and started
for tho bag. Baker was going back
all the lime, and Dobson. forgetting
himself, heaved at the bag. the ball
rolling to left rield and Simmons walk?
ing home. After that there was noth?
ing to It. The Colts, including Hanks,
lost heart, and even a gift offering was
not acceptable.
Hanks was In good shape and was
going along famously until that mis?
hap. After that he was easy, fender
helped some by missing quite, a num?
ber which split the pan und absolutely
refusing to give the corners. After
the boy was in the hole there was
nothing to do but groove, and when
ihey came over. siam. bang?the Goob?
ers hit it to all corners of the lot.
Mattls made his first 'home run for
a long time, and It was In the lot. But
the bull was hit so hard and so far
that he had an easy time making the
circuit.
Cowan hit to Hannlfan in the second,
and the pitcher deflected the ball with
his bare hand. The oilictal scorer
gives him an error, but if that smash
wasn't good for a hit In any league,
then u hit has never been made.
McCabe seems to be getting Into the
habit of misjudging fly balls in order
to make his catch effective. In the
third an easy chance from Booe was
made into a grandstand affair because
Mc didn't Judge it properly. He caught
the ball, but some of thece days he
will miss one like that, and then havoc
will reign.
In that same third Busch hit a foul
which should have boon an easy out
for either Cowan or Dobson. The bail
was high in the air. and both had time
to reach it. In fact, both did reach
It, but no one advised which one should
take the chance, und so the ball
dropped harmlessly to the ground.
After thut he hit to left scoring Han
nlfan,
Baker Is credited with an error for
missing Simmon's foul in the fourth.
He had an easy chance and muffed the
ball after it was caught.
Martin made a nice catch of Cowan's
throw to get Laughlln in the fifth. The
ball was thrown wide, but the short?
stop grabbed It with ono hand and.
completing the swing, caught Joe sev?
eral feet from the bag.
Richmond's run in the fifth resulted
when Hauls hit to Hannlfan, who
threw to Simmons to get Martin. Sim?
mons let the throw get away and Mar?
tin crossed.
The two made by Richmond In tho
seventh were nlso lucky. Three were
on, nnd Mattls hit aeain to Simmons.
He fielded the ball clean and threw
to Howedell to get Martin. Jack hit
the dirt, and his spikes must have
touched Howedell, for the bnll was
knocked from his hands nnd rolled
Into left field, MeCabe and Wallace
scoring. Where Simmons made his mis?
take was In not taking the play at
first, where he had Mnttls by yards.
McCabe made a pretty running catch
of Anthony's .fly ball In the seventh,
picking It from his shoetops
Hamilton saved the day ror Peters?
burg. There is no doubt had Hannifan
remained in the hox he would havo
lost. Things went different after ho
got |to the bench. At that he made
three hits out of as many tries.
Baker. Martin tnd Mattts each got
two apiece.
Cohb, In the game with the Ath?
letics yesterday, made a single, a
triple nnd a homo run out of three,
times up; scored three runs nnd stole
two bases, and retired at the end of
the fifth because he was sick. Wonder
what that fellow would have done if
he had been well?

Run, and Then Quits Because

one bases, und winning by 13 to 6.
