fHurrah! Newport News Won Game at Last Hurrah!
LINERS

Not So Had.
THE CRIPPLED COLTS did not do
10 terribly bad after all. The game
looked to be q certain Pirate victory
for some time, but the rally which
Richmond made during the late In
nings combined with Burleson's de-
termined tight brought home the win

BurIeeon I'm Form.
BURLESON DID PITCH a remark
in local baseball history a. one Of the
garnsst Of many seasons. He was pitch
ing under the most adverse circum-
stances. but did not falter during the
entire contest. He was steady and
had excellent control, not q single
Pirate getting free transportation.
Hits Not Bunched
EXACTLY TWENTY hits were
made by the Colts, but, with the ex-
ception of the innings in which they
scored, the binsles were not punched.
As a general thing II took about three
hits to obtain a run. Not a stolen
base is registered and this fact is due
to the mighty Lee Garyin' s
arm and otherwise to the fact that
the Colts did not run the paths as
they generally are won't to do.
BURLEsON WAS the only local who
did not secure two hits. Jay Rogers,
Ducky Eberts and Doc Newton Sc
cured three each. Eberts landed for
q double and Newton for triplet
Charlie Strain also poled out two

One Won at Last.
NEWPORT NEWS has at last sue
ceeded in winning a bali game. They
played errorless ball and after the
first inning the Tars did not have .
look-in at the game.
Here's Player.
CHARLIE STRAIN HAS several
times been touted as q versatile player.
He demonstrated beyond a shadow OF
terday. Five times at the bat he land
ed safely twice. once for two
sacker and scored run. He had a
couple of assists and the one error
chalked against him followed a dandy
stop of a hard drive off Vernuelle' 9
bat 1t was really a clean hit. but
Charlie managed to get in front OF 1t
and, when making the play at first,
threw wild and the runner got an ex-
ira base.
New Ornaments.
DOC AYRIS and Steve Griffin ap-
peared on the coaching lines in new

great showing on the coaching lines

BUCK BARTON is q hundred dol
lars better OF as a result OF yester-
days game against the Norfolk Tars
That amount was offered by the man
