It Is we'll TO realize that We have Il
few sharpshootcrs to defend horae and
Preside. There may have been some
question regarding this until we
bumped broadside into the self-ap-
pointed champions of the Virginia
League. At the present time. We have
assailed them six times, and the count
at present stands three and three. with
the odds. If there be any. in our
favor. For IL was very considerable
beating that was handed to Mr.. Harry
Mathews and his pay carners yester-
day afternoon.
Taking into consideration that New
port News is the class OF the leanac-
and about this there can be no urgu-

the clashes credited TO us.
The run that won the game, like
the drink that made the man drunk
was the first run. and II came in the
.rst inning. Doc Newton Is the fell
low responsible. lie hit safely to
centre. stole second and third. and
counted when Mr. Glockson forgot the
general direction in which he was aim

Walters head in n mad attempt to
stop Newton's purloining habits. At

The remaining quartet came In the
fourth. BTcsnahan walked. but was
forced by sloan. after which the dcc!-

After these t"o !ucious periods the
Colts rode easily. prcfcrring to stop
inc invaders rather than to offer any
offensive tactics. They were satisfied
with tho lead obtained. and Gunner
Slcan was Airing far too accurately TO
make the thought Or danger enter their
heads. For this reason tho score re-
