Contests.

That was a big rag with which the
Senators blanketed the enthusiasm of 400
Raleighites last afternoon and gave Nor
folk another game by q score of Z to 8.
The rooters struck their colors and the
rooterines appeared as though they had
encountered a shower when the disap-
pointed throng crowded the home bound
street cars. The dinner bells which were
and other gladstone instruments were
and no cause could be found for rejoicing;
Raleigh had fell down again. Hard luck,
Raleigh, was discarded and the rooters
home bound cheered for Norfolk to the
disgust of the rooterines, who were loyal
to the last. bless them,
Five errors for Raleigh, none for Nor
folk, tells part of the tale, and some
of those errors came from Raleighs best.

which added nothing to the excitement.

bases on balls, but Sorber was out on

a bad throw by Venable. Then Atz
handled Dalys grounder badly and he
made first. With two men on bases Sutch
gave Spratt base on balls packing the
diamond Morrisey's hit brought two in
home.
Raleigh made one in the fourth. Two
were out when Hennager knocked a three
bagger, then Kelly followed suit and
Hennager scored. Jordan, the new
fielder, struck out and Kelly died on
third. Norfolk then piled up two more
runs. Lehman had been given first on
balls, stole second and Dannehower's
three base hit carried him home. Then
Mullins hit landed Dannehower safe.
StanIey's beautiful throw in home cut
Mullin off and Kemmers fly was caught

The eighth inning put quietus on
Senatorial aspirations. Stanley made
base hit, Sorber was given first on balls
and a wild pitch moved Stanley and

bright and the rooters came out of their
