Ho stole second, and tallied when Curry singled into right. Although Kohler followed with a safe one in the same spot and advanced Jimmy to third, Karnes was unable to hit, and no more runs were made.
Richmond several times proved unable to hit with the bases full, particularly while Cochran was on the mound for the visitors, and the passes given by the Rocky Mount hurlers materially aided the local players in their victory. Effective work of Miller and Karnes, each of which allowed only one hit, prevented Ray Ryan's men from becoming dangerous at any time, although several bits of pretty fielding were of assistance also.
Richmond on First.
The most spectacular fielding was done by the visitors. Hinges and Jenkins both shining in this department. Of course, the double steals formed an important part of the game, McDermott and Clemens working the play twice.
Manager Hilly Knith and his squad started last night on the first jaunt of the season. They play today in Lynchburg, in Petersburg, tomorrow, at Rockville Mount Friday and return here Saturday to meet Petersburg.
Those who composed the squad last night were: Hilly Smith, Business Manager, Hap Jones, Clemens, Hanford, Bruce, Elbel, Curry, Moores, Steinbrenner, McDermott, Reynolds, Kohler, Lee, Hoffman, and Nicks.
Hartzell did not arrive yesterday, but is expected in at any time. It may.  He sent to join the team in one of the Virginia League cities, but it is probable that he will remain here and work Saturday for the first time. Cooper and Adams are expected to join the squad in Petersburg, while Schenberg probably will be in Richmond by the time the team returns.
