Article of Ball.

cial)--The Norfolk Brooms were again
vanquished by the home team to-day, but
the locals are now putting up an invinci-
bic article of ball. Their fielding is fast
and their hitting is hard and clean

and fine control. The game was marked
by q long wrangle in the third inning.
Carey. with none out. drove a foul
grounder near the left base line. and I'm

third on the hit, and the Brooms pro-
tested. Leahy was ordered off the field,
and was led off by a policeman. after
also being fined $40. Kelly then went TO
short and Pitcher Mcfarland to right
The locals took the lead i'm the first in
ming. Stratton was hit by a pitched BAH
and scored on Hollands triple to left
centre. Holland scored on Carey's double,
and after the next two went out Carey
tailed on McIntyre's single. In the Sc
cOnd the BToOms tailed twice Wentz
and Cote singled and both scored on
Snyder's safe drive to centre. In the
fifth the locals again gathered three runs.
Holland and Carey hit safely, and each
advanced a peg on Slater's sacrifice.
Heydon's fly was muffed by Mcfarland
and Holland scored. Carey and Heydon
counted on McIntyre's hit to right. The
Brooms had the bases full in their halt
but failed to score. In the sixth Stratton
singled and tailed on Hollands second
three-bagger. Holland scored on Carey's
double. The BrOoms scored their last
run i'm the seventh on Claude McFarlaHd's
