NORFOLK AND READING.
1t Was a. Pitchers Battle All
Through.

NORFOLK, VA, April 26.-ASpecial.)-
Norfolk and Reading tried conclusions on
the green sward to-day, and so far as the
question of supremacy is concerned no.
thing was defipitely decided by the ex-
hibition. 1t was q pitchers battle, pure
and simple, both Newton and Amoie
pitching mastery ball, the honors being
easy, Newton striking out eight men and
Amole four. while ten hits were made on
Newton and only eight off Amole. The
latter demonstrated that he is an extra
ordinarily good twirler, but his delibera-
ton and delay before delivering each ball
was supremely exasperating. and was the
cause of the unreasonable length Of the
game. The visitors scored in the first run
i'm their first inning, and Norfolk saw
them one I'm their second. Reading again
took the lead with one run. and again
Norfolk tied the score. Then came
supreme and close struggle, neither side
scoring until Readings seventh, when
they took the lead on a swat by McIn-
tyre, who stole second and scored on
Regan's single. Norfolk went in for
their eighth to do or die. McFarlan was
hit and walked. but was thrown out by
Amole on Leahy's infield hit, Leahy get
ting safe TO first. Then Shaffer cracked
out a beauty to deep centre. scoring
Leahy. and Weddig drove Shaffer to the
home plate with a single and stole second
on a throw-in. Weihl punched a hot one
over McIntyre's head, who jumped in the
air and caught 1t with one hand. and,
touching second base completed a beauti
full double play unassisted. Norfolk was
one run to the good. and the rooters felt
happy, but not for long. The visitors
were BANKED in their eighth and Norfolk
In the ninth, but when Reading went TO
the bat for their final inning, and after
one man was out. Spratt singled. Meara
went out TO right field, and Mcintyre
drove Spratt home with the tieing run on
a single Regain singled and Kinsella
punched out. leaving the score tie.
Umpire Cline then called the game on
account OF darkness. Attendance, 5000.

A Few Hits and Bunts.

brownie Elberfeld led in run-getting.
He is by long odds the favorite on the
Richmond team. and was appauded every
time he went TO the bat. The lad is I'M
doubtedly hustler, and keeps his Wits
about him at every stage of the game.
Wells is developing his old hitting pow
ers. He has gotten his eye on the ball
once again. and he keeps both optics on
the game all the time.
Elsey did stellar work with the STICK.
Out of five times at the bat he made four
good hits. and one OF the quartette was
a fine, large triple.
The Lancaster lads are all big, brawny
fellows. and they are goodlooking men,
too. The entire team is made up of men
past their majority, and there are some
old stagers among them.
Umpire Mcnamara is a good man. He
maintains order on the field at all times,
and brooks no foolishness from the play
ers. He is not slow, either. in imposing
fines. and he assessed a V. against La
ROGUE, Ward. and West.
Two errors are scored against Elber-
field and one against Elsey, and all three
of them are excusable. Especially is this
ture Of Elsey's error, which was made on
purpose and with view to shutting off
a run. 1t was liberal play, and Is COM
mendable in that Elsey was willing TO
sacrifice his own fielding average in order
to win the game
Seybold was nj the bat and La ROGUE
was on third. Seybold batted a high foul
fly to Elsey, and the clever left-felder
got under 1t. Under the rules, IL he caught
1t La ROGUE could run home, but II he
failed TO catch II La ROGUE would have
to remain at third. Realizing this, Elsey
muffed the ball and lost a put out. but
held La ROGUE back. Future develop
ments proved that this was unfortunate,
as Seybold made a hit and La ROGUE
came home.
Elberfeld's two errors were the result
of over-eagerness on his part. He played
a snappy game. though
Schmidt pitched the full nine innings,
and was in great form. He has been
dubbed by the rooters Tame the Sc
cond."
Lever practiced yesterday. He has
great speed and perfect control. and puts
all kinds of kinks on the ball. He will
go in tomorrow possibly.

FREAKIsH RAIN.
Falls in Various Spots About the City
Yesterday.

Falls in Various Spots About the City
Yesterday.
A very heavy shower of rain visited
some parts of the city yesterday after
noon about 2 o'clock, falling exception
ally hard in the business portion of
the city, being heavy enough to run
off the streets in large quantities and
fill all sink holes.
However, out in the Fourth, Seventh
and Eighth wards it rained very little
and in the Third ward not drop was
experienced. Government hill was al
so left out of the rain belt and only
a slight shower, hardly enough to set
tie the dust, fell.
Out near Kampmann's ranch the
shower was very heavy until it reached
the gate entering the pasture, where ii
abruptly stopped, not drop falling in
side the pasture.
The ground was so terribly hot in
the vicinities where the shower fell
lightly that the small amount of water
falling only tended to make kind OF
hot steam rise from the earth, which
made the atmosphere much warmer
than before the rain, but in the city
where it fell heavily 1t had a very cool
ing effect on the air.
