QUAKERS TAKE WIN FROM LADDIE LINK

Costly Errors by Former I loo-Fed and Teammates, and Richmond's Slugging Means Shut-Out.

Cushing Cracks Homer to Club House and Popkins Hits Triple to Help Pile Up 6-0 Victory.

Richmond, 6; Reserves. 0. Laddie Link, erstwhile one of the steadiest flingers on Bill Phillips' crew of Indianapolis Feds, journeyed to our fair hamlet yesterday, accompanied by Ditch Miller, a former Quaker, and seven other gentlemen claiming the game of baseball as one of their accomplishments. After nine innings of battle, during which time Link suffered the humiliation of having one of his curves biffed to the clubhouse by Pat Cushing, the Reserves left again for the Capital City carrying the zero part of a 6-to-0 coat of whitewash. The game was fast and interesting throughout. From the start it was evident that the game would resolve

Doping Sport With the Pal

Mister McCoy is one foxey boy When he boxes with Dangerous blokes. He won't do a thing but dash 'round the ring Instead of unslinging some pokes. He's certainly it as a Hackenschmldt As he dodges and wrestles and whirls. And the gallery shouts: Get busy. You lout, you fight like a couple of girls. It sure is a joy to see Al McCoy Bravely turn his brave back to his foe, Or hear him yell Ouch as he drops to a crouch While trying to flee from a blow.

THERE WITH MOTIONS Jack Coombs, the Athletics' pitcher, has been nominated for state senator in Maine. Batsmen who have faced Coombs are of the opinion that he will be a fine hand when it comes to making motions.

DEAD ON SURE "Special Delivery Hirsch" the Chicago scrapper, has been sent to the dead letter office. In other words he has been canned by his manager.

STICK ANYWAY.

Although the Uiants are not play-

itse'.f into a pitchers' battle. Ludwig, ' inS non-reffUable baseball by any

who graced the mound for the home

boys, was touched up for a quintet of hits, while the best that. Kenney's etickers could do amounted to four, one of them a three-bagger and another a four-base clout. Reserves Bobble. Although Richmond took the game by a one-sided score, this was because the breaks were always with the Quakers. The visitors generously bobbled when errors meant disaster, and Richmond generally hits when hits counted. Burns was the chief offender of the Capital City outfit, kindly giving the Quakers a run now and then, while Kink presented Richmond with two runs when he threw the ball away, trying to catch Ludwig napping at third in the third verse. Richmond's runs happened this way: First Round McCann was safe on Burns' error; Merkle walked. Novak sacrificed, then Popkins hit one to Bauman, who whipped the sphere home, cutting off McCann at the plate. Popkins then got too big a lead, and Miller whipped the pill down to Connaughton, who, with the help of Hart managed to run Pop down while Merkle was crossing the plate. The visitors protested, but Lally was obdurate. One run. No hits. Third Round Ludwig singled to center; McCann sacrificed; Burns juggled Merkle's grounder a bit too long, and threw the ball into the bleachers for good measure, Ludwig and McCann each taking a sack on the gift. Then Link showed his kindly disposition by heaving the ball past the third baseman, allowing both Quakers to score. Two runs. One hit. Fifth Round Cushings staged his homer in this round. With nobody occupying the paths, Pat tapped one of Link's offerings, and the ball started for the clubhouse. Ludwig (no relation to our pitcher) gave one look at the speck in the s.ky and then turned and ran. The ball dropped within a few feet of the clubhouse, giving Pat time enough to ambb? around the bags in grand order. Besides the honor, Pat will receive five "iron men" from the Hoover-Bond company for his mighty deed. Sixth Round Merkle scratched; Novy popped and then John Popkins, who was in no genial framf of mind for some reason or other (he fanned several times yesterday), connected with one of Link's assortment, and Ludwig got another good work-out chasing tin-- ball. The hit went for three sacks. Netter sacrificed, and then Lenniger lifted one to Knmert in right field, who foozled, allowing Pop to cross the rubber. Two runs. Two hits. As to the visitor's scoring activities, a few lines will suffice. In but two frames, the lirst and fourth, did they get near the home plate. Thiiiss looked anything but optimistic for the home team in the initial stanza after Bauman had doubled and gained third on Hart's out. Merkle, however ended the rally by nabbing a near Texas leaguer after a hard sprint. Two in the fourth gave promise of markers, but Ludwig soon clamped down and the side retired peacefully with men perched on second and third. The

means, they manage to stick in tlrst place in the National league.

SOME SKEETERS It would be a blessing if all skeeters were as feeble as the Jersey City skeeters in the International league. They have won 13 games out of 46 played.

Strengthened by the addition of Frank (Red) Ireton, Dick Kenney's crew of Richmond Quakers had little or no trouble in handing out a 12-to-l defeat to Sullivan's touted Senators yesterday afternoon at Athletic park in the first act of a double bill. Although the Senators showed unmistakable signs of uneasiness, and can perhaps offer a better brand of ball under different circumstances, the flinging of Vordenburg, who allowed but four hits, one of them of the scratch variety, combined with the defensive and offensive work of Mr. Ireton, was a combination too heavy for Sully's crowd to buck. Hawekotte, a 19-year-old youngster, opposing Vordy on the slab, hurled a fine game, considering the support accorded him by his teammates. Richmond is credited with thirteen hits, but proper fielding would have kept the number well in in the small digit line. Hawekotte fanned six Quakers. Ireton Connects. With the exception of the work of Ireton, the game was devoid of anything unusual. Red was injected into the Richmond line-up as a pinch hitter in the sixth frame, and at once showed his mettle by connecting with one of Hawekotte's shoots for a rolier down between first and second.

Without a doubt the big feature of yesterday's bill was the exhibition given by Frank Ireton. Red has been the star utility man of the local team for years, and yesterdav broke into the game with a gusto. Although Red had no chance to show his skill in the outfield, he more than displayed his calibre at the plate.
