The Home Team Defeated the Norfolks at
Island Park Yesterday.

IdIk 1erieTuay.
Donati's Giants defeated the Norfolk Colts
at Island Park yesterday afternoon by the
very uninteresting score of eighteen to nine.
A surprisingly large crowd braved he heat
and witnessed the contest and be il said to
their credit they conducted themselves adj
mirably. They appauded not only the good
playing Of the home team, but gave ample
plaudts to the visitors whenever a good play
was made.
The Colts are weak. and it is evident have
been playing baseball together but short
time. They do not give TO each other that
support which is 50 necessary IN ball playing.
aud their weak battery did much to pile mp
runs for the Giants. In contradistinction the
Rlchmonds team PLAYED a strong game. until
they became tired out. IL necessity
had driven them TO it. they could
have played perfect game, but their second
inning at the bat took from them consider
able lot of energy. Eleven men at the bat in
one inning is rather trying such hot weather.
and their laures being assured they played
more carelessly than they should have done.
II was splendid ball playing. however. when
they did play. and with a team their equal
the Giants could rival the usual League or AS
ISOLATION performance. The Norfolk men.
unfortunately for themselves and the people.
were not equal TO the Vaccinations of the
Rchmonders. They are young set Of men,
some of them not being over twenty, while
the Giants are men used by years of practice
to the diamond, and hold themselves ever in
readiness TO defeat or be defeated.
The first inning for both teams commenced
with encouraging prospects Of an excellent
game, but the second inning threw cold
water on the game. and from that time until
the close the spectators hoped against hope.
Ia the second inning for the Giants Enright
commenced proceedings by making pretty
hit over short-stops head. Wells followed
and amidst enthusiastic yells made home
run and brought in Enright. Napier made
pretty hit, Kahn followed with another. and
Foster skipped around the bases with the
second home run. O'Rourke followed with
tVO-baCger. and Luck got out 10y
sending n fly 10 lett field; Enright
and Wells followed and were put out
by infeders. This inning rolled mp seven
runs for the Giants. while the visitors score
was only frightened by the appearance made
by Weave. Messich for the visitors was put
down on the list as the best batter and did
well during the first part of the game. but
when Enright occupied the box he famed the
ethereal with Il grace astonishing. Woods.
one OF the visitors, did excellent work. lie
appeared first as catcher he next filed the
position of pitcher and next officlated IN the
infeld. He is an all-round good player and
received much applause.
Personal mention Of the home men is super
huOus. They played an errOrless game with
but one exception. and had the weather been
but slightly cooler the team from the City by
the Sea would have not come OF the field with
as many runs as they did.
