LOCALS BLANK DENISON TEAM IN SECOND GO

Poor Support of Chick Long Helps Kenney's Boys Recover From Slump in Un1 beatable Form. Dick Kenney's team took the second games this Beason from Chick Long's Denison (Ohio) crowd by the score of 6 to 0. After a bad day last Sunday, Richmond seemed able to play ball in almost unbeatable style. Every one of the local boys had plenty of pep and ginger, while the Buckeye boys acted like they were half asleep. A line drive by Schlemker In the sixth inning, which should have been good for only one base, was good for three because the left fielder thought it was a foul ball and he took ' his time in fielding it. Knisely, who has been utility man for the last five or six weeks, was given a chance. He took it, getting b two-base hit and fielding several pretty flieB in a nice manner. If Chick Long had better support It would have been a much closer game, as there was not an earned run in the entire contest. Tullis, the shortstop for Denison, played poor ball, making two errors, and did not get a hit in four trips to the plate. Jinx After Novack. The best pieces of fielding was done by Cummings, although Schlemker and Cushing made some great stops In the eighth Inning. Both men played the best ball they have shown this season. Lenninger also showed up well. Novack seems to be pursued by some sort of jLnx. Several weeks ago he sprained his ankle in a game; then he was sick for a while, and yesterday he was spiked on the leg, and then hit on the arm with the ball. Red Bah I was also spiked, but was able to keep on playing. First Inning J. Long singled; Andrews sacrificed. R. McClelland flew out to Merkle, and D. Long grounded to Lenninger. Meikle singled, Dahl sacrificed, Novack flew out to Cummings, and Merkle scored on Tullis' wild throw to first trying to catch Popkins. Second Innings Cummins out, Lenninger to Popkins. F. McClelland fanned, and Tullis popped out to Dahl. Schlemker breezed; Knisely out, McClelland to D Long. Cushing fanned. Third Inning Robs whiffed. Chick Long got a nice single but was forced out at second on J. Long's hit to Leuliiger, and then Popkins pulled that old one, keeping the ball and tagging the runner when he moves off the base. Vordenburg grounded out to R. Long. Merkle fanned, and Dahl reached first on an error by D. Long, but "was caught trying to steal second. No Runs in Fourth. Fourth Inning Andrews popped out to Dahl; R. McClelland singled and 1) Long hit into a double play, Schlemker to Cushing. Novack smashed out a liner; Popkins sacrificed; Lenninger hit a sacrifice fly, Novack going to third, and Schlemker fanned. Filth Inning Cummings breezed; y. McClelland grounded to Cushing, and Tullis knocked one into Vardenburg's hands. Knisely slammed a nice one for two bases; Cushing out, R. McClelland to D Long. Vordenburg whiffed the air. Sixth Inning Ross out, Cushing to

HE CALLS BOSTON'S MAYOR "CRAZY NUT" Larry Doyle, the only man who, In recent years has called Mayor Curly of Boston, "a crazy nut" and gotten away with it. This sassing of his honor came when Curly jumped into the field to put a stop to the little ar gument between Snodgrass and Tyler during the recent Giants-Braves ser ies. "I wonder if this mayor of Boston is a touchy guy," Larry Doyle remark ed to Art Fletcher the next morning "If I thought he took offense easy I'd send him an apology." "For what?" asked Fletcher. "Did you say something to him when he came on the field yesterday." "Oh, it wasn't anything much," said the Giants' captain. "But when he butted in there In the seventh I didn't know who he was and I tapped him on the shoulder and yelled, 'Get off the ield, you crazy nut "

KENNEY LOADS NINE WITH BIG LEAGUERS TO WALLOP GRAYS Richmond Manager Employs Quintet of Stars to Trample Connersville in Dust of Athletic Park. "We'll beat those fellows next Sunday if it takes the last cent the club can raise." Thus spoke Manager Ken-

ney regarding Richmond's prospects against Connersville in the deciding game of the series. To judge from his speech, Dick is nursing a nice fat grudge against the whole city of Connersville, not because Richmond was given a 6 to 0 beating in the last game, because he gracefully bows to defeat by a better team, but because Remington loaded up with league players after promising to play his regular team. Kenney's motto is "An eye for an eye. and a tooth for a tooth," and in consequence it looks as though Richmond fans will be treated to a real big league game next Sunday. Dick has been doing some scouting in the tall timbers, and as a result announced yesterday that he had secured the goods. Judging from the array of talent which he will bring with him, Connersville's "high grass leaguers" will have to go some to get away with the game. Gets Real Leaguers. For these are the cards Dick has up his sleeve: Dick Donovan of Toledo will play in the right garden; Chuck Curtis, who played with Seattle this season, and who goes to Minneapolis next year, will taken Lenninger's place at third; "Yellow" Williams, also with Seattle last year, and drafted by the Boston Americans this fall, will play second; Gill of this year's Battle Creek team and secured by the Brooklyn National league team for next year, will play short. Chick Long will appear on the firing line, and another good, strong hurler will be on the bench ready to take up the brunt of the conflict if Chick fails to stop the visiting sluggers. After the way the Richmond players took to Long's slants yesterday, officials of the club expressed some doubt as to his ability to stop Connersville. Kenney, however, has faith in the big fellow, and will rrart him Sunday. Chick has promised to cut loose with all he has and go the limit. HOW THEY RANK National League. Won. Lost. Pet.

The Dille-McGuires defeated Easthave Saturday 5-4 in an exciting 11inning game. Rettinghause broke up the game in the eleventh inning with a home run. CORN HUSKS TELL OF WARM WINTER Warm, mild weather during the entire winter is the prediction of Steve Kuth after examining this years crop of corn. Mr. Kuth bases his forecast on the light shuck which covers the ears and the fact that the ears protrude from the shucks. Because nature has left the corn unprotected in this manner, Mr. Kuth said the winter would be open and mild. Last year he said the husks were heavy and the ears well covered, and the winter severe.
