DISAPPOINTMENT AT NEW YORK.
NEW YORK, September 17.-Umpire
Hornung put stop to the Philadelphia
New York game to-day In the first half
OF the fourth inning. With a man on
second, one out, and the score 10 3
in Philadelphia's favor, the Quakers were
prevented from doing further damage by
the umpire's ruling. Although only a
few drops OF rain had begun to fall and
it was plenty light enough to continue
playing, Hornung for some reason best
account of darkness. 1t was then only
AS o'clock, and the Philadelphia pro-
tested In vain. The rain of the morning
had made u rather wet field to play
upon, but il was fixed up into fairly good
shape. The Philadelphia were hitting
Doheny hard at the time of the umpire's
ruling.

cial.)-Richmond and Norfolk played the
first of the series Of games for the State
championship at Riverview Park. near

blood by clever fielding and heavy stick
work. Tannehil had the CLANS guess
ing during the entire game, and received
superb support. Pfanmiller evidently
did not try to pitch after the third In
ning' owing to the ragged support he
received. Rothermel's work at short was
miserable, but he did well at the rest.
Wells made a sensational, one-hand
catch Of hot liner. and showed I'D in
his old-time form. Sholta, Pender. Kahn.
and Groves batted like flends. making
twelve of the twenty hits credited to
Richmond. Norfolk must play better
