Don't know whether 1t was Jocko
Fields new mascot and First Assistant
3 secretary of the Interior, or whether ii
was the inability of the Gulls TO get
out of the winning groove into which
rate seems to have projected them, but
they had dead easy walk over again
yesterday. and typed up the diamond
with their friends, the Changers, in the
most approved style. With the cXcep-
ton OF Hall. Boyd and possibly KatZ
and Hargrove, the visitors seemed to be
in trance. Werlich was worse than
he was the day before. which is saying
much. Joe Eurle, usually SO uncrring,
had a decidedly yellow day, and the
otiicial scorer has been kind in giving
him only two black marks. Pats arm.
SO mighty and true on Thursday, got
CLASSY on him, perhaps because of Wer-
TICKS inability To hold him. Mike Ryan
the Tall Sycamore and India Rubber
man. or whom such great things have
been expected, has not only failed to
come to taw in Norfolk but was so
unusually unable to hold the balls that
came his way that he had to be removed
AFTER the second inning. Jake Boyd took
MS place and Lampe was substituted in
right missing the only chance lie had.
Ouarles started III to pitch good ball
and did very well for n while but re-
ceived such ragged support that he gave
it up and grew pretty careless before
the end came. AS IL was. however he
might have done very much worse. and
the loss of the battle can not be placed
upon his shoulders.
On the other side. 1t must in all candor
be said. the boys played great ball c.
Armstrong failed to get Il foul fly But
they made II up. Reddy never put up
greater ball in his life. He played first
base like n man who had been covering
that bag for centuries. and at the bat
he hit like n fiend, getting two singles,
n q
of four times UP. His home run, by Il
strange coincidence, brought in Fields
and Claude McFarlan, the same two
that crossed the plate on his fencer
base hit of Thursday.
Monk Ramp played n great game at
third. accepting errorlessly numerous
difficult chances. Lamont and Davis
were both in the game with both feet
and out In left field AL McFarlan again
distinguished himself by making one OF
the prettiest running catches of the sea
son. The base running of the locals
was great and would have compared
favorably with that of any of the Ma
tional LeaGuerS. n. Mac. got four stolci

Clauscn. the left paw phenomenon, re.
Gently released by Richmond. was In tn,
box for the Gulls. and fairly covered
himself with glory, pitching as pretty
a game as any one would care to see
and making himself n red hot favorite
But the star work of the afternoon
was. of course, perpetrated by Pete Hall
whose faculty for making seemingly
Impossible plays is apparently limi:less
G. McFarlan was on first in the ninth
when Jocko came to the bat and linet
out a high hot one that looked for all til,
world like a hit until Hall jumped up II
the al: and caught II in his Eloved hani
just as easy. Then he ran to SECOND
and put Mac out. II was one of tht
prettiest una:sis.ed doubles ever seer
here. The official score follows:
