NORFOLK OUTFIELDER BOUGHT
AND WILL REPORT AT ONCE
Griffith Purchases Craft From Virginia
League on Altrocks Recommendation.
Mistake to Remove Harper Yesterday.

7 charged against him in the first inning
| should have been an out.
| As yet Manager Griffith has heard
I nothing as to whether Joe Cantillon wants
either Barber or Horace Milan. though he
| expects that Joe will explain by mail he
being in Milwaukee playing a series OF
games.
! Six consecutive hits drove James from
the rubber. Every one of the blows. wife
| the probable exception of Mlans, when
was an infield scratch. was clean cut
| Rice. Shanks. Charity and Mcbride hit
the ball in rapid succession before James
realized what was happening. Strange as
| it may seem. the first two men to face
him were easy outs.
Sam Rice again corraled two hits. and
but for Dubuc detecting his high bound
had three hits to his credit. But Dubuc :
interference gave Bush a chance to field
the ball. which would otherwise have
rolled into center field for clean single
Rice is undoubtedly one of the best hit
ters in the league. as his consistent per-
! forn1ance has demonstrated
Charity again played a splendid
game at first base and it might not
he a mistake to continue him in that
position regardless of whether Judge
or Williams get back into condition.
Charity has hit timely in every game
in playing the bag. Williams ankle
is worse now than II was when he left
home aad it is not at all unlikely that
Manager Griffith win allow him to go
to his home at Carthage. ILL.,. to rest
up and join the team in Chicago.
The fact that the grand circuit trots
are being held here is interfering
trife with the attendance at the ball
park There were in the neighborhood
of 1000 on hand. but. of course. the
Tigers have been going poorly and
have not come up to expectations,
which also has had detrimental ef
feet the week day crowds A few
victories would wake up the populace,
but ii is hoped that trese will not be
brought about at the expense of the
Nationals. who have ambitions of their
own and want to make good showing
on the present trip.
Galiia for some unaccounta BILE reason
could not fool either Eurns. Crawford
or Veach, who faced him in the ninth
after he had famed Bush on three
clean -cut throws. Burns had previous
ly gotten hit off Ayers but neither
Crawford nor Feach had hit safely until
the ninth.
Three double plays by the Tigers did
much to prevent the Griffulen from in
creasing their score after the second in
ming. With one out in the fourth. Noel

out Shanks. Jameson started the seventh
by walking. and Foster and he put on
the hit and run. with the result that
Foster had to reach out for wide one
and popped up a little fy to Burns. who
doubled up Jameson by touching the bag
with his outstretched leg. TIE Grifmen
made but one double play Trat came in
the eighth. when Young started with 4

Dubuc wa iked Witt then hit 70 Mcbride
