AT Portsmouth:
Roanoke VS.. Portsmouth
There may be two sides 10 every cues
ton. but no philosopher will try 70 con-
tend that there was more than one size
TO Yesterdays game between the cham
pions and CLANS. The contest was as
one-sided as the StauntOn ConFentloh'
and II you have airy doubts regarding
this statement. they would have been
removed had you seen the expression on
Manager McFarland's face as he LETT me
lot
lie made a brave effort 10 appear nom
chalant. but IL was a weak, sickiy at
TEMPT. and no wonder, when the H-he
zcrocs over on the right-ield fence. lne
sum and substance OF the visitor eHo''9
are taken into consideration, ana 50 l
roiterate that the game was one-sided'
and Mr.. Malarkey. the young senator
who came to us from the National Capi-
TAI is the direct cause OF the uneven re-
suit. ..
MALARKEY IN THE BOX.
He was I'm the box with both feet ana
n brand new smile. that was loa'heu
him bv his friend De Wolf Hopper IL
was the same smile with which hopper
is said to nave won the affections OF
Della Fox. but be that as IT may, it was
too much for the CLANS, VINO were
powcrlcss before its magical sweetness
In a way Malarkcys performance hdS
not been equalled in this city ana IL Is
safe TO say that many moons VIII wax
and wane before any other twirler VIII
excel or even equal IL.
There were nine innings. and just TWEEN
tv-nlne men faced Malarkey. only three
hits we're made off Of him and TWO OF
those were of the scratch order. WINE
no, a single one Of the visitors had the
Measure Of putting their feet on third
base. one wild pitch and one base on
bolls were his only offences. and these ne
more than redeemed by a long Two
raccor TO right. which unfortunately net
ting the hero naught because IN ms am
hilton ne was thrown out at third. while
attempting to stretch the capacity OF ms
hit.
These things ala Malsrkey yesterday
ond all honor was his. and he can yet
have half Of Richmond and all the free
lunch he can eat. at least so say Felix
Keegan. and he is posted as 10 how the
bleacheries feel about the matter.
The history of the game would not he
complete II / failed TO tell about our
mutual and esteemed friend, Babe
Rlankenship. who has been appropriately
s,irnamcd tho prince Of Leisure' by q
certain well-known young journalist.
He has been most httingly surnamed.
for he is slower than a Broad-street
car and correspondence uncertain Some
dav when he has taken his face ana
luggage TO those bright realms where
all good little "JOhnnios" 90, who die
young because Of too intimate acquaint-
ance with apples that are not sufficiently
ripe 20 be dirrstcd, he will have things
as ne desires them.
Untl that time he will continue TO
lose games and put the bah everywhere
except over the plate
When ne came 10 the bat i'm the third
inning some ardent admirer sent Babe
a basket Of flowers. He smiled bowed
after the manner of a man who has
crick I'm his neck. and then made "a hit,
thanks TO the easy drop that Malarkey
pitched him.
HOW THEY SCORED.
The game opened most auspiciously,
the Champions making three hits. which,
with base on balls. nettcd three runs.
An error by Quinn. followed by two
singles and "a sacrifice. gave the Cham
plOns twO-morc In the second.
For some unaccOuntablo reason tho
locals let up on "Bcbc's' delivery ana
did not score again until the ninth. when
two doubles. aided by the errors Of Langs-
ford and Ramp, netted two more runs.
The visitors got their hits in the sec
ond third. and fourth innings Outside
Of these they were pOwcrlcss TO solve
the rsastcrly delivery of Senator Ma
larkey.
The fielding on both sides was fine.
the Champions doing the better work.
THE SCORE.
