NORFOLK, VA, June 1S-The Crew
of the Mary Jane got back at the Rich
mond Colts this afternoon in one of
the most peculiar contests probably
ever seen on the local grounds. The
score was 10 to.4.
The game throughout was Character
lied by hits that came almost us often
as the frequent showers and the ques-
tionable decisions by Umpire Hoffncr,
and they had to go some to beat those
two. Each team registered thirteen
hits, one of Which was q two-bagger
by Titman. and two others three
times" by Edwards and Jackson. OF
Norfolk. Edwardss drive evacuated
the first and second llassocks which
were occupied.
But for very palpable piece of bad
judgment by Umpire 11offncr In the
seventh inning, when he called Haas
safe on u bunt which Salve heldcd per-
fectly, and which reached Shaffcr sew
ernl seconds before tho runner, Rich
mond would have had chance to win
out for tho Colts had gotten busy in
their half of the same session, and
through a temporary let-down by Jor-
dan and timely swats to free country
by Titman, Reeve and Shuffer, the
score was brought up to to 4 in
favor OF Norfolk. Hoffncrs calling
Haas safe was disputed by Kirkpatrick,
who was ordered to the bench, Cowan
taking his place. After that Salve went
soaring higher than ever, and it was
NIL up. Four singles and Edwards's
three bagger together with passes,
were responsible for five runs. Carter
started the game for Richmond, and
looked to be in form; but the trench
which Jordan usually drills into the
pitchers box to aid him In his delivery
worried the new man, and he proved
an easy proposition for the winners.
Eave went in after Houghton had led
off in the third with the fifth hit made
off the Richmond pitcher, and he was
sadly out of form all the rest Of the
way. The hitting of shaffcr Titman
and Catcher Edwards, for Norfolk. and
two assists from the outleld by Wal
lace. were the features Of the SUGGEST.
The game was called on account
of darkness in the first half of the
Eighth, after Richmond had scored q
fifth run; but the final reckoning. of
course, reverts back to the seventh
which is the last complete inning
played. Carter and Walsh will work
tomorrow against Bertrand and Ed
wards.
Umpire Stanton Resigns.
Immediately after the game in Nor.
folk Monday Umpire Stanton sent /,
his resignation to Secretary-Treasure,
Z. n. Gregory stating as his reason
for the action that he would do nc
more work injia' league In which SOW
eral hundred ory"nlore fanatcal fans OF
the type which attacked him Monday
with bottles in Norfolk made 1t unsaf,
for an arbiter who fails to give every
thing to the home team. Whether OF
not the former umpire can be made I,
reconsider his course OF action b!
the league officials remains TO b,
seen. 1t is understood that an enor
will be made to retain Stanton be
cause Of his apparent ability.
Paul Seibrie joined the team in Nor
folk this morning at II o'clock, bu
was not played to-day because he ha,
not rested sufficiently after his tire
some trip from Gettysburg. Pa, wll er
he has been attending school. III
states that he is in excellent shape
and ready. to play a better game tina
ever.
1t Is not likely that he will get int
the game until the team returns {
Richmond Thursday.
