The greatest feature of the Rich
mond Norfolk game yesterday was en-
tirely unknown to the crowd that
watched Deacon Morrssey pitch one
of the best games seen here this sea-
son. Hardly half dozen spectators
who watched with keen enjoyment the
work of the pitcher knew that just
before the game he had received a
telegram telling him that his sister
had died in Baltimore yesterday morn
ing. Morrisscy's appearance and his
work gave no indication OF the sor-
row that he felt, and no difference was
noted by the mass of spectators
After he had been detailed to pitch
yesterday, Morrissey received the tel
esram. and although the management
would have relieved him of his work
for the afternoon. he knew that his
absence would disarrange the pitch
ing department.. and wishing to re-
main for few days with his family
after his sisters funeral. he decided
that he would work in the game.
Immediately after the game Nor
rissey left for Baltimore, and will re-
main in that city until the Colts play
Monday. He would not have been
used anyway again this week and the
management gave him leave of alb
Scnce.
Sleeping Sickness.
A fatal attack of the sleeping sick
ness that caught Tiedman Just south
OF second base and a bunch of bend
ers that curveted and caracoled
over and about the home
plate. delivered by Morrissey, got
the mortal goat of the good ship
Mary Jane, and tho piratical sea farm
ers took large doses of old DIR. Goose
EGGS hollow pills. The Colts cantcred
across the front door mat three times,
which was of sufflciency to make
Win Clark look like loser.
Morrissey was the chief attraction
In the big top. with all the side shows
grouped about In most interesting
pose. Not miscue was made by the
Colts during the whole of nine in
nings. and the way the infield and out
pulled down near-hits made those who
were on the bear side of the market
weep salty tears and tear scads from
the big roll.
Five hits were drilled through the
armor plate of the Richmond infeld,
and those five were hits. Nothing
shoddy or made to look like the real
thing. but each and every one Of them
was as safe as a Manx cat In an old
Woman's home. None was for more
than one bag, but all We're pure wool
and Of the regulation length and width
for first base.
Wild Bill In Form.
Wild Bill Otey forsook his usual
mountain goat delivery and passed a
line of goods to the batters that was
really classy. His control was such
that only one man was given first
base without tapping something out,
and only six hits in all were cleared.
When those hits did come, however,
they came in pairs, and the regulation
results were apparent
For two chapters yesterday nothing
was doing. Not peep was heard on
either side, and except for one little
piece OF bone that made Shaw think
that Tiedman had suddenly been
paralyzed ana couldn't throw to sec
ond in which surmise he was in error.
there was nothing but very smooth
was three men up and three men down
and back again.
IN the third spasm Titman peeled
off a little clout that laid him sweetly
at first. Cowan came next with
sacrifice that was good for one ad-
vance. Then Morrissey took the bit In
his teeth and swatted out a liner that
nobody saw and few heard until 1t
was discovered roaming about In
SSH'iS Huiu, tt.ila' VI course, came
home and the ice was broken. Then
the chapter closed for the time.
In the fourth inning Shaw cut loose
with singing grounder that neither
Bonner nor Jackson could negotiate
and was sent to second on Irvine's out.
Risbie ripped off long fly that
Chandler made gallant try for. but
muffed after he had gotten his hands
on. Shaw came home. Bigbie stole sec
ond and got to third on a passed ball,
but Titman's obseques on pop fly
left him where he wouldn't do anybody
any good,
some Final Efforts.
The sea dogs made the efforts of
their lives TO pull RIM or two across
jam then ito ,the end .of ,the game.
