KELLY'S CATCH ROBS QUAKERS OF LAST GAME

FORT WAYEMay 16.---Rrehmond presented a crippled lineup yesterday and tailed In Its effort to make a clean weep of the three game series with the Chiefs, losing the final fame, 6 to 2. Ainsworth was in the box for Richmond. . ' ?' He wu hit bard at times and his support vat somewhat ragged. Boston loni, hard hitting Qauker, hard hitting Quaker outfielder, was still out of the game with game legs, and Kreg. the promising young catcher, aat on the bench nursing a split thumb, received in Sunday's combat. Tester, the Quakers other catcher, was in Youngstown receiving a treatment for his lame throwing arm from "Bonesetter" Reese, so a Fort Wayne nmateur. Devilblss. went behind the bat for Richmond. Turns In Well-Pitehed Game. Richardson turned in a well pitched game for Fort Wayne, holding Richmond to three hits, but he might have lost the game had it not been for a very sensational crftcb made by first baseman Mike Kelly off Bossolonl. .pinch hitting for Wilcox, In the ninth, with two men on the bases. The ball left the big slugger's bat like a rifle bullet and the crowd moaned for It looked good for at least two bases and a tied score, but Kelly leaped high off the ground and speared the Spalding, almost losing a hand in doing so. ; -' ' ' Kelly pt through a double play and Richmond was licked. One run had counted before this play. The bases had been filled by Donelson's walk, Donahue's .single and Jim Kelly's safety on ,an error. This Mike Kelly party also contributed a home run. Richmond scored first In the seventh. Oygli and Donahue singled the former scoring ,on the second out. '

FITZ WANTS MATCH WITH TITLE CHAMP

Like father, like son. At least this is the' case of the Fitzlmmons "boys" Bob and Bob Junior, who are here today with the Sells-Flo-to circus. Bob Junior, like Bob Senior, is a pugilist. His one and only ambition is to force a meeting with Jess Willard. - The junior Fitx is only 21 years of age but he tips the beam at 180, is as hard as a pine knot and firmly believes himself when he says he will supplant Big Jess as world's heavy champ some day. . .
