THE VIRGINIAS WIN.
The Newsrks Lose Theis Third and Last
Game Hers-seors, = TO 5.

The Newarks Lose Theie Third and Last
Game Here-scors, TO 5.
About nine hundred persons wit
messed the last of the series Of three
games between the Newarks and Vir-
ginias at the latter's park yesterday
afternoon, which resulted in q victory
for the home team. The visitors led
off at the bat and scored one run in the
first inning, to which they added an
other in the second. The home boys,
on the other hand, were blanked until
their third chance, and after this were
led by the visitors until, in the sixth in
ming, by heavy batting, they got inthree
earned runs, not only tying the score
but putting them one in advance OF
their opponents. In the eighth the
visitors added one to their record, max
ing the contest tie. At this point
excitement ran high, but it was soon
quslled when the home team went TO
the bat and made three runs, thereby
making such an advance that the New
arks were unable TO overcome. Pyle
pitched in good style. Only six hits
were made off him, and by him six
men were retired on strikes. Smith
was very successful in striking men
out, but the boys rather caught on to
him and pounded him to the extent
Of ten hits, with a total OF fifteen.
The general playing Of the Newarks
was very good, but several Of the Vir-
ginia boys were rather off; neverthe-
| less they did their work faithfully at
the bat and marched on to victory.
Neither the players nor audience were
satisfied with Wigand's umpiring. lie
undoubtedly has not just conception
Of what constitutes " ball " or a
strike" and almost invariably the
visitors are the benefciaries. The
Richmond audience were eager for an
official umpire, but, Judging from the
hisses they gave Wigand, and the many
ways they expressed their dissatisfac-
ton with his ruling, substitute would
be decidedly preferable. Appended is
! the score :
