The Colts took another from Peters
burg yesterday, thus getting back into
second place and encouraging the
local fans TO expect some more high
class bail The latter part of the week,
beginning this afternoon, when the
leading bunch from Newport News
takes a whack at the locals.
with chances of getting on top, the
Colts may be expected today to play
for who lasts the longest, and that
means that the loyal crowd will see
some good ball
AS matter of fact the games which
have been played recently in the State
league have been on part with any
seen here in seasons Some fine ma
terial is being developed and some of
the players in this league will be heard
from In the big aggregations later on.
Richm ond took the game yesterday
by the score of TO 2. while the con-
test at the seaside was broken UP the
elements.
Petersburg will take try at Nor
folk in the latter city today
The game will start promptly at
400 O'Clock this afternoon, and 1t is
hoped by those who want baseball
here the remainder of the SUNNI err
that the fans will spread themselves
all over the ball park.
It was announced at A meeting of
the moguls two weeks ago that the
league would run al least two more
weeks before the flag is hauled down
for the season. and that II would be-
up to the fans to show what the prob
able result of that announcement may
be. This means that the fans who
want the baseball germ to remain in
their midst must show enough interest
by attending the games to warrant the
continued efforts of the magnates. It
must be understood that the game
cannot be continued principally for
the benefit of a handful of bugs, who
remain faithful to the end. whether
the club wins or loses.
