The semi-weekly messenger. [volume] (Wilmington, N.C.) 1897-1908, 1901-05-07

Norfolk. May 4.-Wilmington came
out victorious in the third game OF the
series with Norfolk. This was the pref
tiest and liveliest of the three games.
voorhees, in the box did fine work. The
Wilmington boys showed up better
team work than on any game yet
played. Their ten hits showed they
were able to find Dannehower, and
their all-rond playing showed that they
were able to play ball.
Team work is what they have need
ed, and this they are fast getting onto.
Those who attend the games in
Wilmington next week will see great
improvement in the team, and the pre-
diction is here made that there will be
some ball playing then that will salts
fly the most persistent GROWERS.
