RALLY IN EIGHT AND NINTH
FAILS TO BRING MATTHEWS
ANOTHER VICTORY.

Especial tn The Richmond Virginian.)
NEWPORT NEWS. VA. May IL.
Miserable base running on the part
of the Shiphuilders. while the Goob-
ers took advantage of every leak that
came their way this afternoon. gave
Petersburg the third game of the Sc
ries by a score of 6 to 4. Fully 5000
persons saw the game, despite the
lowering clouds. and were bitterly dis
appointed to see several chances for
winning thrown away. The Ship
builders made enough base hits to
win two ordinary games, and they
did make a bid for the contest in the
eighth and ninth. In the eighth
three successive hits and three bases
on balls gave the locals three runs
and resulted in the retirement of
Vance with the bases full and two
out. Richmond forced one run, but
caused Raiey. a pinch hitter to roll
an easy one to him for an out. In
the ninth a double by Mathews and
a single by Tarlton gave the cellarites
another, but the succeeding batsmen
flew out Tarlton. who was recently
purchased from Troy, made his first
appearance at first and played great
ball.
The score:
