FIFTEEN TO FOUR.
Portsmouth took Hampton Into Camp
/ Wlih


With Hands Down.
II was not Frank MorrisScy'S fault
that Hampton did not get Il coat of
whitswash in the game here yesterday

clever ball, allowing only five hits, and
striking out five batsmen. and he had

About 300 of the "faithfur' went out

repaid. for the contest was replete with

up the national game. Errors were Il
plenty, but the fielding was generally
fast. and the game was very interest

u new one by the name of Wood on
first base, but he was too slow and

Hampton Monday. so Kemmcr stayed
on third and Luitich went to first
again. Clark was back in the game
and put up his usual good article of
