Jessie nd Joe, those brilliant heavers of the Harvesters, didn't give the Quakers much of a chance It. the double-header tt Reapertown yestrday aftrnoon, and what chance the Quakers did have was mussed up by the heavy artillery of the local batting order and Springfield von two, th first 7 to 0, and the second 6 to 4. It was a great day for Springfield. In the first game they started right out and gathered for themselves three large runs in the first inning. That would have been entirely sufficient for the Quakers, was really two more than was necessary. Jess Haines, ever a hard problem for the Quakers, held fiern under his thumb all the way through and the five singles collected by the Quakers were made at times lar distant. Lefty Jerks Himself. . At the same time, the Harvesters found the way to Gilbert's hit box and poor Rufus had to can himself from the mound and send Couchman in to finish the game, which had ended long before as far as Richmond was concerned. Bob gave the boys a chance to raise the total to seven and then tor the last two innings held them, or they were held by someone, without a run. In the second game the Quakers tried the Harvesters' stunt of getting the game won early, but the Quakers' f ffort was not sufficient. The boys tatted in four runs in the first round and things looked like it was to be a tifty-fifty party. , But it wasn't. ' In the second,, there stepped across the plate with a run each, three Springfield players. The performance was repeated in the third and Soup Young started to the dressing room uith a downcast eye. . Ainsworth took tp the work and held the Harvesters for the rest of tho game without a score. Red went In too late to get another lose to his percentage column and the defeats go to Gilbert and Young. And Richmond plays here again today and tomorrow. In the Majors AMERICAN LEAGUE At SL Louis (First game) R. H. E.
