The Norfolk Virginian. [volume] (Norfolk, Va.) 186?-189?, 1895-08-29


representing Norfolk have accom-
pIishtd in the last few days. The
article of ball Tate's men have been
dispensing has made the "fsithful"
wish hard that 1t WAS the beginning IN
stead of the ending Of tho season.
There was large attendance ut
League Park yesterday. OF course the
double game was something OF draw,
ing card, but then the "cranks" eX.
pected good ball playing, and they did
not leave the grounds dissatisfied,
for they certainly got their moneys
worth.
1T was very warm day and the hard
work OF two games i'll row told
plainly on the players, but both teams
tried hard to beat each other, as both
are more thnn anxious to take advnut-
age OF Petersuur2's and Portsmuuth's
losing streak aud arc trying hard to
supplnnt them in the standing. Nc
Partlin was chosen Us Noriok's twirler
iu the first game. and "Nlac" has moth
ing to brag about, even if he did win
his game. He WAS hit hard. and to
good support lie alone can attribute
victory. Fry did the pitching for the
"Magiclans" and did very well, nut
could not prevent Tnte's sluggers from
pounding him, snd the hitting was
doue at times when hits were needed.
1t was long fought game. eleven
innings being played. At the ending
OF the tenth inning, with the score II
tie, Tste wanted to let the score stand,
