CROWS WIN AGAIN.
Another Exciting Contest With the
Norfolk Team.
SOME GOOD PITCHING.
The victors Hish-FIycrs. But tho Crabs
Good Clin,bers-Two Baggers
Common.

Again were the Norfolks defeated by the
Crows. this time by a score Of II to II.
The contest was exciting and interesting
from start to finish. and afforded the 900
people who occupied seats on the bleach
cries and In the grand-stand an excellent
opportunity for exercising their lung-pow-
ers. That they availed themselves Of this
opportunity was attested by the hideous-
and yet to the rooters musical-noises
which emanated from west-End Park be-
tween the hours OF and o'clock yes
terday afternoon.
Neither team played as well as they
did on Thursday, but the Richmonds
played just a little better than their OPP
ponents and as a result are enabled to
hans another scalp among their trophies.
The batting was exceptionally heavy, and
wo-baggers were lined out so frequently
that towards the end Of the game they
eNciteu little comment. Tate did some
good work at the bat. He had only five
chances there. but managed to hit three
two-laggers and one single. The first ball
he struck he sent into deep centre field,
over In the corner OF the fence, and scored
Philips and McGann, who had preceded
him to bases.
GOOD PITCHING.
Neyins. who went in the box for Rich
mond, pitched a great game at first. and
held the heavy batters Of the Norfolk
team down splendidly. He struck out
three men in the second inning and re-
tired the side with only Wells's assis-
tance. He let down, though. later on. and
was freely batted. In the seventh innine
he was, at his own request, relieved, and
Keenan, was sent into the box. The lat
ter's work was very rocky. In his two
and half innings he permitted eight hits
to be made from him. two of which were
thrse-baggers and one a two-bagger He
didn't give any bases away, however, nor
did he strike out any one.
The mighty CollIfiower, the terror OF
the league, occupied the box for the
Oystermen, and what he didn't do would
fill book He didn't handle the sphere
as he Is wont to do, and In consequence
thereof nineteen hits, with total OF
thirty-one bases, were made from his de-
livery.
QUICK AS A FLASH.
Wells, who wore the liver-pad for
Richmond, was as quick as flash be-
hind the bat, and caught two runners
by throws TO second. He threw too high
on one occasion and as a consequence
the runner he attempted 20 catch was
allowed to keep on 10 third.
Geitenger did some good throwing. too.
In the third inning Hodge attempted to
steal third after Gettenger had caught
a fly ball batted to him by Corcoran.
He didn't succeed. however. for Getten-
ger threw accurately to Phillips from
deep centre and Hodge was caught just
before he touched the base. "Baby's'
work In this play was good also. lie
was very quick in handling the sphere.
The Crows, like wil-o'- -the-wsps. fitted
Just ahead OF the Crabs throughout the
game. Those same hard-shelled. saltwater
fish are great climbers. however, and no
matter to what height the Birds would
fly. they would crawl up after them,
and at times came so close as TO make
Il positively uncomfortable both to the
Crows and their friends.
In the third inning McGann made a
bad play, which caused the home team
to lose at least one run. He had stolen
second base and the umpire had called
Bau safe. He thought he had said other
wise. and left his base to kick against
the decision. He was touched with the
bal. while kicking, and was then called
out much TO his chagrin.
Hauptman was the only man who sue
ceeded In batting out home run. He
accomplished 1t in the fourth inning with
one man on the base. and was loudly
applauded by the cranks.
THE SCORE.
