Springfield at Evansville. , Somebody sprinkled the pepper box -. over the Quakers before Wednesday's J double header, and in two big innings, one in each game, the Vets were defeated, the first game going 13 to 6, and the second 9 to 3. It was an uphill fight for the first three innings of the opening contest, but in the fourth the Quakers made the grade' and after that it was easy going. Pillett Btarted for Gilbert, but lasted just two and a half innings. In that time, Nee's Orphans slipped six runs across the plate while the Quakers were making one. Pillett was Jerked with two down in the third, and Cy Young was given the horsehtde. How They Did It.

The Quaker half of the third was the one big parade of the day. Before Jack Rowan was taken off the mound,

four runs were across the pan, and F by the time Schettler had settled down

to business, four more had been mark ed up on the score board. The eighth inning found four more Quakers across the pan, and the firsts contest ended with the vets far behind. Pat Donahue thought he was in Terre Haute for the greater part of the first game. The Quakers stole everything in sight, and Pat should consider himself lucky that he still has his mask. Evers led the pilfering from the first inning, when, after he had received a pass he stole second and third and romped home for the first Quaker marker on a bad throw. After that it was easy. Every one on the team took a chance, and got away with it. The only man on the Rich

mond team that could not connect with the stealing party was Reilley who was caught off on his lone attempt N Evers Steals 5 Bases. Evers stepped up within sight of the league records for stolen bases with W five swipes in the first game yesterday afternoon. According to the published standings, Joe now has 54 steals, which is two behind the record, but Joe says that he received two more on the official records at Muskegon than was given him in the published scores, so this would give him 56 stolen bases, the league record. With eighteen more games. Joe should easily beat the record, which has been standing for four years. "Bird Seed" Rowan was the victim again in the second game. Jack lasted for five and one-third innings of the second contest and was then replaced by Manager Nee. The Quakers again had a little upgrade, but after their work in the firs, they were not bothered by the Vets' one run lead, and the sixth inning of the second brought seven runs.

Stojen bases were frequent in the second game also. Crouch, Rapp and Schick pulling them r.ff in the final chapter. SPECIALS 60 BIG; ST. MARY'S 60 DOWN S. S. LEAGUE. W. H Pet.

Checking Out

From Base to Base More birdseed for Jack Rowan's cuckoos. Jack wound the old clock twice yesterday, but it ran down before the game was over both times. The Quakers are eating sardines. During their last series at Muskegon, Manager Gilbert discovered that Sam Brennegan, who has been knocking the cover off the ball with unerring regularity for the last month, is a lover of sardines and gives credit to the sardines he eats for his hitting. Sunday night Gilbert's men ate sardines and Monday they won. Tuesday night they ate sardines again and Wednesday they won two games. Monday night they ate no sardines. Illness has forced Manager Gilbert to release one of the most valuable players on the Richmond team. After playing under a handicap for practically the entire season, Frank Gygli drew his release from the Quakers Wednesday night Gygli has played a good game all season, despite his illness, which has kept him in poor condition for the greater part of the time. He has received many jibes from the fans, who did not know cf Frank's work and who undoubtedly would have thought i better of the first sacker's work had they nown the facts. Gygli is a whirlwind when in good physical condition. but through no fault of his own, he fell down tliis season and got in bad with the fans. If Thursday's exhibition with the Browns proves successful financially, the Quakers will meet the Cubs here on August 30. - The Vets will probably have "Cause" to win Friday's game. Kroh is due to perform on the mound in that game for Nee's men. TRY TO PREVENT STRIKE.
