HELLO BOYS FAIL TO CONNECT GAME Richmond's Line too Hot for Team From Ohio, Which Returns Home With Short End of 2? -to-1 Score. "VORDY" THE BIG MAN Popkins Wins Fame by Pulling Unassisted Double, While Lewis Disconnects Hot One. Richmond, 2; Cincinnati, 1. After Robbing and Vordenburg, local Blabmen, had held the speedy Cincy Hello Boys to a lone tally in the nine frames, Richmond staged a little batting rally in their part of the final that resulted in the winning marker being shoved home. The game was the best played here this season and was witnessed by an estimated attendance of 1,400 rabid bugs, To Vordenburg, Quaker heaver, must eo the bulk of the credit. Vordy not only held his opponents to three scattered hits but started the rally in the last frame by lining out a single and then scoring the winning run a few minutes later on "Norm" Voltz' safe crack to center field. Had it not been for the fact that a sizzling liner bounded bad through Voltz, the Buck eyes would have drawn a zero as thetr share of the counting. The game was fast throughout and something happened just about every other minute to keep the fans on edge. Although Richmond managed to connect with the slants of the Cincy hurler with fair regularity, consistent work of the visitors held the score down. Cincy fielders pulled frequent pieces of good work" while Kenney's men were on the job at all times. Popkins' double play in the ninth, unassisted, brought a big hand from the fans while Lewis, third Backer of the invaders nabbed a liner off the bat of Big John that was nothing short of a crime. Richmond's first tally came in the third. Although the Quakers had threatened in the previous innings, nothing in the scoring line had resulted. McCann. first man up, connected for a safe one to right field. Voltz dumped a pretty sacrifice down the third base line, just missing the bag himself; Merkle received free transportation as a recompense for being hit in the slats. Then Novack lifted a sky chaser over second and as there were two men out McCann trotted across the plate. Whether tho Bun or just plain "buckague" bothered the Cincy keystone custodian, the ball descended to earth with a thud while the Cincy players said things inappropriate to a Sunday gathering. Popkins popped. The Hello Boys garnered their lone marker in the fifth. Louis started the proceedings by slapping one to Lenliiger, who foozled the sphere long enough to let "Looey" gain the initial sack. Louis did not remain on this sack long, stealing second a minute later. Then Robertson, who had done nothing previous in the batting line, with the exception of a lot of expressions as to the ability of the Richmond batters, connected with one of Vordenburg's cuts and the sphere shot uff in the direction of Voltz. The liner was a wicked one that was next to an impossibility. When McCann whipped the horsehide into the lot. Louis bad crossed the rubber with the tielng run. There was nothing more stirring in the registering line until the ninth. Cincy threatened in this stanza. Coombs, leading off with a clean single. Minn sacrificed but Popkins brought the action to a close by nabbing Lewis' fly and retiring Minn, who had thought the hit safe. After Cushlng had fanned Vordenburg started the Richmond boat by lining out a tingle. McCann followed suit with one to right. Then Norm Voltz attached the clamps to the game by walloping the pill square on the nose to center field; Vordy trotting home with the winning marker. Score: CINCINNATI. A.B. R. II. P.O. A.

FANS STILL WAIT
FOR PIRATE SLIDE Griffith's Team Refuse to Crack, But Steams Ahead Wininng May Games. By FRANK G. MENKE. NEW YORK. May IS. Quite a num ber of our most respected and resepctable citizens are suffering from sore and inflamed optics these days because they followed the advice of some of the "wise ones" who prevailed upon them to "watch the Pirates hit the tobog." The aforementioned citizens, many of them residents of New York and Philadelphia. whra the Pirafon a r cordially hated and feared set about waicnmg ana waiting assuming the very same attitude that Prexy Wilson assumed toward Mexico for such a long period. But they have watched so long and intently that they have strained their, eyes. The Pirates havent's "cracked." And, as we view things from this modest angle, they aren't going to "crack" in the accented sense of the word as " applies to baseball. The among those present this season. Reds Cracked. The Reds 'blew' themselves to a husky lead during the first month in 1912 "scrap assert" some folks. And the Dodgers and Philies breezed along ahead of the field for a period in 1913. And then they cracked busted into about 742 different pieces and never had a look-in afterward. That's what will happen to the Pirates." Maybe so but maybe not. The 1912 Reds and the 1913 Dodgers and Phillies and the 1914 Pirates are something entirely different. The Reds got off to a flying start in 1912 not be cause they were so good, but because the teams that they tackled in the first month were so bad. And then, just as the Ohio river folks were thinking of making Hank O'Day mayor of the town, governor of the state and faucet guardian of all the city breweries, the Giants wandered wandered into Cincinnati. When they left the pennant dreams of Redland had been distorted into a last place nightmare. But it's something else again with the Pirate clan, as remarked above. Clarke is a craftier manager than Dooin. He isn't overworking his star pitchers. He's sending them along in their regular turn and keeping them m fine shape. Clarke has two or three young twirlers who have been delivering, and If they can keep up the gait, and continue to lend an oar occasionally to Harmon, Adams and O'Toole it's quite likely that the Pirates will grab off the National league's share in the world series spoils. Weak at Short? In addition to having a number of pitchers, Clarke also has three outfielders who can hit, throw, run and field in a very able and satisfactory manner. Also he has one of the best all-around first basemen in the game in Kenetchy, a whirlwin second sacker in Viox and a fast and very reliable third baseman in Mowrey. The Pirates only weak spot seems to be at short. A fellow named Wagner plays there. He's hitting only about .350 to date, averaging only one stolen base a day, and isn't fielding any better than about .990. But Charlie is coaching hi mand says the young man seems quite willing and ambitious to learn the game, and, therefore, he will keep him at the shortstopping job for a little while longer anyway in the hope that he will improve with experiences.
