The fell Pirates. whom / have sew

ship form in their game with the
Colts yesterday afternoon. and with a
certain 7ar. Herbert, who 10 claimed
by aonne to be tho best hurier In the
league. on the mound. took them into
camp by the score OF 4 to !.
Seldom has the efiiciency and the
fnsflciency CT two pitchers been so
clearly demonstrated as 1t was In that
game. Herbert Was in the best of
shape. ard had the local aggregation

hits. and kept them so well scattered

that re hit u man and made a wild
pitch no would probably have shut

in to open the fifth inning. and

by kAe Pirates resembling a score.

plate with Rlehmond's only tally, but

third did not prove of value to the
team. Few Of the others on the order
were able TO connect, and even Pfez

Howrticn Again Scores.
Howedcif was again the star per-
former fer the visitors. He has done
some excellent work during the past
series. and has added considerable to
his reputation, many of the local fans
now being ready to declare him one
OF the first. IL rot the leader. OF the
leagues third nasemen. His stops
and throws of several hard ones yes
terday brought generous applause
from the fans. Howedell played all
over the ieid. from the pitchers box
to deep left field, pulling in every
thing that came his way and escap-
Ing with no rniscues charged against
him. His catch Of venable's fly into
deep left. and his stop of the same
players grounder. touching out Raley
and throwing .Venable out at first
were his feature performances
The fact that the Colts had eight
men left on the bags. whereas the
Pirates had but three speaks volumes
IN telling the story OF the game. Had
the necessary hits been forthcoming.
and these men sent home instead OF
being left to die on h sackfng there
might have been a different tale.
But what's the use lamenting. Lee
0arvin has gathered together q rath-
or ~proicient aggregation. eve II they
do not win games consistently. and
ne has an excellent chance to land
near the top Of the ladder. The fact
that the Portsmouth team II unable
TO win steadily IL somewhat OF a mys-
terry, and much speculation as to
the cause II being done by the local
FAM. There are but few inhelds In
the league which are better than that
shown by Garvin. He has q fair hurl-
I'M stan and his outieid is not the
weakest in the league by any ear
