1t was an easy victory
AT no time yesterday did Newport News
even get in the game little bit
AS one of the hooters on the bleachers
remarked in stentorium voice towards the
shank of the game Bring in the Vir-
ginia goose and let her lay another egg.
In vain did Ashenbaek call out to his
star batters, Come on, my appleacks,
the game will yet be ours. His melo-
dious voice could not charm away the
hoodoo that has travelled and ate and
slept with the Ship Builders the past
week, and which yesterday turned final
tip-nop in fendish glee.
The score was against in favor of
Raleigh, and had the Senators been really
anxious it might have been II. AS it
was the three runs which saved Newport
News from shut-out were not deserved,
but came because of costly errors in the
fifth and ninth. In the fifth Bowden, with
time TO burn, threw the ball some three
or four feet over Kelley's head. The
ball was a Sizing and it went bounding
cavorting over into the charm back of
the bleachers and Osteen scored, when
he ought to have been out In the ninth
Diesel hit for bag with two men down.
The next man was hit by the ball and the
next man got to first safe because Meade
threw too low TO Kelly and run came in.
A very large crowd witnessed the game
and whooped up the players of both sides
as star plays were made. AS Stanley
would come up to the bat there would be
q cry of Home run! Home rum" and
once in the game Stanley responded to
the call and stung the ball way over
into right amidst wild chorus of ap-
plause.
The game was not a spirited one, but
the players were in good humor and kept
up the fun. Ashenback added to the
gayety by informing Kelly that You run
like a sewing machine, UP and down." as
the king" tried to sprint to first, and
later on cried out to LeGrande, you
run like lumber wagon, you old Indian, =
upon which "Bill D." lined her out for
two baks.
There were four star catches in the
game. and these were all sensational. In
these the performers were Atz, Sherman,
Stanley and Sechrist The last named
made a long run from left field to centre
and caught Bowden out, going to the grass
as ne ala so, out SUCKING W Inc pdIl. buI
the best catch was from in the eighth
Johnson sent a rainbow chaser way out
in centre and no one thought Stanley
could reach it, but that likely youngster
few up in the air as if he had wings
on and pulled it in, saving home run.
Here is the way the Senators solved
the easy problem which the Ship Build
crs furnished yesterday:
In the first inning Diesel was out at
first. though Hennager let the fly slip.
Sechrist dropped into Hennagers hands.
Weddige hit for two baks and Foster
walked Then Ashenback died in Kelly's
hands. With Raleigh Stanley and Hen
mayer short to first and out and Kelly
fouled to the catcher. Newport News
i'm the second was a roll call and out.
For Raleigh Atz famed, Meade got hit
by the ball. Sherman makes a single, adj
vancing Meade, who then makes a creamy
steal to third. Person hits to centre and
Meade scores, but LeGrande flies out to
Hempleman. Newport News took another
egg in the triple order in the third while
Raleigh made three runs thusly:
With one man out Stanley makes a
