started the Daily Wave. He is Q fearless
fighter and writes with his pen dripping
with wormwood. He made practice Of
scoring his enemies mercilessly in aea-

to Patterson primarily because he was
what Was termed 'carpet Dagger" but
more on account of his being South

The Wave is Democratic paper, but
1t was not favored with the land office
printing and Isenberg attributed this
fact to the machinations of Patterson.

Twill there be q separate silver

The Norfolk Pilot had the following
to say in regard to the work Of Umpire
Daily in the Last game OF the Norfolk
Roanoke series:
The visitors did not put up as good a
fielding game as they did on the two
previous days, and seemed to be play
ing in g half-hearted way. due, no
doubt, to the rank umpiring of Daily.
This man gave as abominable an eY =
hibition of umpiring as has been seen
on the home grounds this season. The
writer dues not mean to say that Nor
folk would not have won the game, but
1t would have been much closer and
far better played game with com.

question, when, in fact, he had his back

IL looks as though there was "nigger
in the wood pile"
Nearly every club in the State, with
the exception of Richmond. has pro-
tested against this mans umpiring, but
1t seems that the powers that BIO paw no
heed TO such protests. This is the first
time the Pilot has said anything re.
garding the umpiring Of this man, and
only does so now in the interest OF the
game. With such umpiring as waa
witnessed yesterday IL will not take
long for the game in Virginia to 90 into
inccuous desuetude." His decisions,
not only on bases, but on balls and
strikes was simply abominable.
