r,iefortune thought to give him chance
40 redeem himself. and batted the ball
directly 70 him. This Kain also aIoweo

were getting distressing now, ana whIn

them home on a single batted 10 deep
centre field II looked az though the s'de
wound never be retired. Corcoran, how
ever. yentrred of OF first bafe, anc
being caught by Gilman. ended the tenn
porary existence OF the Norfolks, who.
after lots OF fun n; the expense OF both
the Crows and their f:isnds. went orsin
into the field.
THERE WAS PAINFUL SILENCE.
There was little cheering 10 lie hcord
now. In fact. everything AMI everybody
had assumed an azure hue. and the faces
of the rooters. which had been previously
wreathed In smiles. bs,ame lorg srd de-
jected. and sOrrow was manifested or
all sides.
The Norfolks were jubilant. and Man
ager Sommers, who sat swinging his feet
from the players bench, laughed out
right with excessive glee, and invested In
q scent bottle OF pop. which he drank
with great relish.
He did not reckon on what would fol-
low. nor. in fact. did any one else.
The Crows grded up their loins and
played for blood from then on. They
were unable to do much with Hunt, but
they played ball like soldiers In the field
and kept their opponents from scoring
again, though at times II was a most
difficult feat TO accomplish.
In the fourth inning Wells retired Hunt
by catching foul fly from his bat In
one hand. 1t was beautiful catch, but
was In keeping with the rest OF his play
Ing. In the fifth Cleve exhibited some
clever base-running. for which he was
loudly applauded. He was on third. ana
Phillips batted grounder to OHagan.
He fielded 1t in plenty of time to throw
Phillips out at first. but Cleve bluifed
him and caused him 20 make dumb
play. and Phillips got to his base Cleve
started as though he intended running In
home OHa6an was afraid TO throw 10
first for fear he would carry out MS
bluff and Cleve did not go far enough
on his journey TO the plate to JUSTIFY
him In throwing to Hodge, so, not know
ing what to do, OHagan held the ball
and did nothing. BABY was caught
between first and second bases shortly
afterwards. and while TRULY and Joanes
were chasing him TO and fro. Cleve tried
to score. Joanes quickly threw to Hodge
and caught him on the plate, but PhiiIips
got safely to second. The side was then
retired by Bailey. who struck out
pop" TURNED THE TIDE.
Five innings had passed and not n run
scored for Richmond. Kahn and Gilman
had been put out In the sixth when Tate |
came to the bat The audience had be- |
gun TO despair of the Richmonds making |
a run. when Pop" caught a low ball |
squarely on the end OF his bat and sent |
II sailing away out of sight over left-feld |
fence. This caused great enthusiasm |
among the audience. Hats were thrown |
into the air, cheer after cheer went up, |
and Pop received such an ovation as |
player in this city.
This run broke the ice for Richmond |
and started the upward journey toward |
the Elysian fields OF victory.
In the seventh Roussey was thrown |
out at first, and Cleve went to first on |
an error made by TRULY. He was sent |
to second on Wells's hit, and that gentle
man succeeded him on first bag.
Phillips was the next man at the bat
The crowd was extremely excited. and |
loud cries Of ''Run Foster IN" came from |
all directions. Tate complied. and
Freddy" took the ash from Baby" He
struck at and missed the first ball thrown
him. but the second he sent high up in |
the air and over the left-feld fence. 1t |
was a foul, however. and many were
the ordinations Of dlsmay which went
up from those who had witnessed the
fight of the sphere. He had to try 1t |
again. and the next time he sent the \
ball directly at Corcoran. 1t did not stop |
with him, but kept on out in left field.
and while Freddy" got TO first, Cleve |
scored and Wells went TO third. Nevins.
the next man up, batted 10 Joanes and
was retired, but on his sacrifice Wells
crossed TO safety, and the score stood
G to 3.
THINGS GETTING BRIGHTER.
In the eighth inning 1t was rapidly get
ting dark, and there was some question
raised as TO the ACCESSIBILITY of continu-
ing the game Tate insisted on playing,
and McDermott allowed him TO continue.
Gilman was sent to first on four balls;
Tate followed in like manner. and Gilt
finger few out TO McCloskey. Everybody
realized that this must be the last In
ming. and excitement ran high. Men were
squirming about on the benches; every eye
was riveted on the diamond, and breath
less silence prevailed. Roussey came next
TO the bat He struck out. and the hopes
Of all sank. Cleve hunted the ball d.
rectly in front of the plate. and, like
deer started to first. Hodge attempted to
pick the ball up but in so doing fell
down, and allowed Cleve to get to first
In ga ETY., and Gilman TO score. No~
was the critical stage OF the game. Wells
batted to TRULY, who allowed the ball |
10 pass him. He got 10 first. and Tate,
faster than he has in years. came
over the plate just ahead or the ball,
which was thrown in by Thornton. Eos
ter hit into deep left-held, and brought
Cleve in
A MOMENT OF GREAT JOY.
This tied the score. and 1t was the
signal for roar of deafening applause,
which fairly rent the heavens. Nevns
batted manfully, and tried TO bring an
other run in. but the ball rolled directly
10 Joanes. and the side was retired.
The audience was relieved, but consid-
erable apprehension that Norfolk would
make another run was manifested. Thorn
ton first welded the ash. and sent the
BALL into centre field. thereby gaining first
base. Joanes batted high into the air
and Cleve got under II and captured II.
