It may be ! hard to believe, but two pitchers started a ball game at Wright park yesterday afternoon and both lnlshed the contest. Another feture connected with the combat was that the eight and a half Innings were completed in less than two hours, and lastly, the Vets won! Richmond was the .club beaten, and the final score read 4 to 1. Rowan Hard to Solve Johnny Nee gave Rowan another opportunity to go through with a conf lot. and this time the big fellow traveled the entire distance without once flying a distress signal. Rowan held Bade Meyers' Quakers to six bits and kept them fairly well scattered. Owing to the fact that Spencer and Storch became crossed on Hauser's fly in the seventh made It possible for Richmond to tally the lone run made off Rowan's pitching. Jack faned six of the visitors, and passed but one man. Bob Couchman opposed Rowan, and for six innings he. worried the Vets not a little. In the seventh and eighth , however, the home crowd got after Couchman, and by bunching four blows with a pass and hit batsman counted enough runs to give them the decision with plenty of room to spare. Gysrli was the only member of the Quakers who gave Rowan much trouble, making three of the six safeties credited to his team. Stops by Rapp unw Kelly were the fielding features. Two were gone in the home fourth when Rapp missed a . bounder from jStorch's bat Storch stole second and trotted home as Hobbs placed a triple near the right field foul line. Stewart ended the innings with a high one to Gypli. Richmond got a man as far as third in the fitth. Hauser singled through Nee. Trying to sacrifice, Donaldson portped to Tepe, who, in trying to complete a double play, threw wild to first and Hauser went to second on the error. He took third .while Hobbs was ..flagging Kelly and was left there when Young skied to Storch. Kelly's Robbing Act Brennegan singled over short in the last of the fifth and went down on a sacrifice by Tepe. Rowan grounded cut and Kelly took a run away from the Vet when he robbed Nee of a hit by a pretty stop and throw. Gyglt slashed a hit past Derrick in the seventh. Crouch popped to Nee and Gygli stole second. Hauser's fly fell between Spencer and Storch for a hit, putting Gygll on third. Donaldson's sacrifice fly to Spencer scored Gycli wkh the tying run. Kelly lofted to Spencer. Nes Gets Around ; Ccuchman got two of the Vets in the seventh before Nee bounced one against the left field fence and pulled up at second. Derrick followed with a single to center, bringing in Nee with the run that put the .Vets in front. Derrick took second on the throw home, but was stranded when Spencer grounded to Rapp. Storch's grounder bounded away from Rapp and went for a hit in the eighth. Hobbs sacrif ced and Stewart pot another walk. Evers fumbled Brennegan's roller, crowding the bases. Couchrcan then hit Tepe on the hand, forcing in Storch. Rowan hit to Kelly and Stewart was forced at the plate. Nee laced a single over short, scoring Brennegan. Derrick forced Nee for the third out. - - After Rapp had s.tled to Storch in the ninth Gygli singled to left and Crouch hit Into center. Hauser forced Crouch at second with a roller to Rowan. Donaldson missed a third strike and the fracas was over. CUMMINGS' HURLING WINS FOR FT. WAYNE MUSKEGON, Mich.. June 2. Working in fine form, and brilliantly sup ported.

THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM, SATURDAY, JUNE 2, 1917

a Glance Texter asserts, he ruptured a blood vessel in the arm pit in one of the games at Muskegon. Yesterday morning Texter and Myers discussed the case with the result that Myers handed Texter his release. When Hart learned of this he entered a protest against what he claimed was unfair treatment to bis battery mate and then jumped the team. Hart will undoubtedly be suspended for his hasty action. Pitchers Work Hard. Hart, Ainsworth and Fromholz have been doing the bulk of the pitching for Richmond. In the second game of the Memorial Day double-header Hart lost 1 to 0 in the most brilliant pitchers' battle of the season. He permitted only five bits and struck out ten men. Manager Myers justifies his action in releasing Texter on the ground that Texter has not - been in condition to give the team his services. Pesky Mr. Rowan Richmond A.B. R. H. P.O. A. E.
