NOT ALL ONE WAY.

The cranks do not wish all the games
10 so one way. and it is quite refreshing
to the visiting teams 10 hear the applause
given wi.sn they win a hard fought battle
Norfolk should prove drawing caro-
and II doubtless will. The local cranks
love close, snappy games, and they are not

The attendance upon the games here has
not been what was expected. nor what the
work of the team deserves. If Richmond Is
