A HOT CONTEST.
Portsmouth and Newport News Play
Twelve Innings of Good Clean


Ball.
Those who took the trouble to go to
League Park yesterday afternoon to
witness the game between the Beers"
and the "Weavers" got full value for
their money in every sense of the word.
There were twelve innings OF good.
snappy ball playing, and not the least
satisfactory part of 1t was that Ports
mouth won. The game was of the
heart-disease kind, from start to finish,
and while Portsmouth had a slight adj
vantage throughout, ii was not sure
until Morrlsey struck Rapp out in the
twelfth inning with runner on second
base. On account of Luskey's injury
received in Wednesdays game, KEN
mer had to go behind the bat, and Per-
sons was detailed to look after the third
bag. The fielding of Uongley, Bam-
inert. Myers, X. Weaver and Hoffman,
and the home run of Murrays In THE
sixth were the features. Both Morrisey
and Landrum did good work in the box,
the former. however, having the best
OF It. Portsmouth scored in the third,
sixth and twelfth innings, while New
port News scored once each in the first
and ninoh and twelfth. The crowd was
not what 1t should have been. and not
what the efforts of the management of
the Portsmouth team deserves. These
6eH.ieiiei are oeteianlned that no stone
shall be left unturned to give Ports
mouth n winning team, and they should
be encouraged by the bnll-loving pub
lie The same teams play this after
