Umpire-Mr. Pop" Tate
The Second Game.
The second game was most interesting
me in every particular. Good ball was
played and there was abundant excite
ment, giving the cranks great opportuni-
ties for vigorous roofing, of which they
awaited themselves nobly. Every avail
able inch of seating capacity In the large
park was occupied, and everybody pres
ent wore a happy smile.
The game was one. of those scrappy
contests full of good plays and live
work. with here and there little kicking
Richmond had decidedly the best of it,
but Norfolk, too, was strictly In 1T. UNI
pire Hayden was in to finger the indica-
tor. and he ofiiciated In a most impartial
manner, giving entire satisfaction 10

seemed to take especial delight in wor-
rying him.
UMPIRE HAD NO RECOURSE.
This conduct on their part. while par
TALLY amusing was also somewhat tire
some, but it seems TO be approved or by
the management Of the team, and OF
course the umpire had but little recourse.
Early in the contest Snyder and Nc
Farlan made themselves somewhat OBJ
noxious. and il was only through the In
reference of Squire Donati that they
were gotten back into harness. Then,
later on in the game, McFarlan created
more disorder. and was ordered from the
grounds. He refused to go, whereupon
officers were sent to eject him.
HE AROUSED THE DOGS.
Seeing them coming Claude thought to
have some fun at their expense. and he
sprinted across the diamond and scaled
the fence in left-neld dropping down in
the flower garden beyond. There the
crowd who were eagerly watching his

part of the procedure. The florist, who
resides in the centre OF his garden, keeps
several vicious dogs for protection
against thieves, and these dogs. seeing

had TO sprint in sure-enough fashion.
He escaped the dogs, but when he got
back in the park he was as white as a
sheet from fright
LEEVER WAS THE STAR.
The game, aside from these reprehen-
sible antics, was well worth seeing. Nor
folk had Bishop in to do the twirling,
and i'm the very first inning the locals
smashed out five hits, scoring with lit
tie difficulty three runs. Stimmell went

excellent work until in the second inning,
when he went up TO bat, the ball struck
him on his finger, and necessitated his

COULDN'T TOUCH THE PROFESSOR.
The Professor didn't seem TO worry him
