Errors In the first inning again gave
the game to Norfolk yesterday. the
score being 2 to 0 In, their favor. The
prospective champions did not get a.
hit after the third inning, and but two
in the entire game, Reyclle pitching
in mastery form. They should have
been credited with but one hit. had
Titman been playing In his proper
place in the third inning. Dingle was
at the bat, and the clever little left
handler had been hooking them into
the riyht-feld corner, anu. being left
: handed, that was the natural direction
for him to hit. For some unaccount-
able reason Titman was playing over
in extreme right centre. and when
Dingle lifted the ball into right II
rolled to the fence and the runner
landed on third. Had Titman been in
the usual position of the right
the drive would have been an easy out.

the box, combination OF errors sewed

left only eIghtl chances for assists AMI
Norfolk is credited with but SIX, one
being put out on an unasssted double
and another hitting 10 the man on the
bag. There was apparently an sitter
inability TO hit the ball out, especially
with men on bags In only one inning
did the Colts duplicate hits, and then
one man had struck out end another
had sent fay to right.
