Both teams earned two runs, so the
public can understand what the errors
made by the Petersburg tenn cost, as
only one Portsmouth player scored, who
got his base on balls. Reed. at short,
made the only errors for the home
team, and both of these were made in
the ninth inning, one OF which cost "a
run. Leach pitched, as he usually
does, a good game, giving but one man
his base on balls. He struck out six
and made rafting good single, which
helped materially to win his own game.
The fielding OF Hall and the hitting of
Childs was especially pleasing, and the
hitting OF Turner aud Hickman for the
visitors WAS good. The homo team,

the game as it should be played and
were full OF life and activity. See the
