inc Colts returned home Wednes-
day night from Norfolk. where they
dropped two games of their series
with the Crew. During the first game
there It seemed that the Fars were
to continue the slump that has been
With them FOR some time and put
them at the bottom OF the column.
Something. however. in the defnaanor
Of the Colts gave them brare. They
threw the held hard a-starboarI and
hrnced their lanyards for clear SAIL
tag and string Of victories Their
first victory over the Colts in the
second game, was not deserved, DIS
they were clearly outpfayed. and YER
bout had mucS the better of the
pitching. In tAe third game how
ever, they did show real return to
form. and II Is quite likely that they
have now struck their stride again
and will begin their slow climb OF
the ladder.
Clarke has a good team. and they
have had a slump such as all teams.
even the majors. have. That they
have gotten over this speaks we'll tor
their perseverance,, and they may be
expected to do well from now on.
the Norfolk team has Also good
leader In Wynne Clarke, one of the
Oldest heads in the garis In the Viz
Einia League. He Is quick TO detect
a weakness in his team, and IS not
slow in patching 1t up in The proper
fashion. IL the Norfolk pitchers are
able to keep going wei. the Crew

opponents in the circuit.
Although the Colts Iost two games
Wf their series with Norfolk. they
M fsn41 fs be. n fEs4g,
other of the games should really have
been victory for them. and IL was
only through the h arsiest of luck
that 1t went TO the otner team They
have returned home In sa3d shape
with one exception, and will doubt
less continue their goea plas ing In
the field.
Some time ago the Colts pitchers

feats were attributed to this cause
Now the pitchers are going AT their
hest and the team Is giving them the
