Pitcher Sa1ve yesterday presented the
opening game of the final series with
Norfolk to the visiting team in the
opening inning of the game Manager
Reeve contributed a timely error to
this result. The prospective cham
pions used their bats to timely effect.
and these swats, together with Salve's
lack OF control, gave Norfolk five runs
in the inning. t was a foregone con-
clusion that Norfolk would win there
after, though Otey, who was sent in
by Manager Pender instead of Fox.
the scheduled pitcher, proved an easy
mark, and was hammered hard for
four innings. The locals succeeded
in pil!ng up five runs in the seven
innings played before darkness ended
the ragged contest. but meanwhile.
Norfolk had added two runs on hits
off Long, who succeeded Salye, and
errors at inopportune moments.
What really beat the Colts after the
first innings slaughter, was their in
ability to hit OPPORTUNITY, and their
very poor base-runnng. On four diff
ferent occasions the locals had men on
second and third, with but one hand
out, yet did not score a run. Nine.
hits in three innings off Otey yielded
only three runs, the batters seeming
unable even to bat an outfield fly that
asstolen base was secured by the Colts,
and but one attempt was made.
