WHERE THEY PLAY TOMORROW

Virginia League.
Tarboro at Wilson.
Rocky Mount at Newport News.
Norfolk at Portsmouth.
Suffolk at Richmond.
The daily times., 1921-08-11

Any old way it is figured this is a
merry race in the Virginia League.
Rarely has any league seen so many
teams right up there in the running
to such an extent that one or two
games would shift the position of the
leaders and those in sixth place. Such
is the case in the Virginia League,
however, and it keeps all the teams
hustling every day. A single game
amounts to so much that no team of
the six can afford to lose one.

There isn't any great amount of
love lost between Norfolk and
Portsmouth either. They dwell upon
opposite sides of the river, and they
are too close for any great amount
of friendship to arise. Here's hoping
that each wallops the other because
it will be to our distinct advantage
for such to happen. The only thing
we regret is that the yboth can't lose
at the same ime. That would help
things out for fair.

Wilson scored first in the fourth.
Smith singled, Walker singled send
ing Smith to third, and Walters sent
long sacrifice fly to left scoring
Smith.
We scored again in the fifth, tying
the count. Head got an infield hit to
Lake and when Harry threw the ball
wide to first Head went to second,
Kline then came through with
scorching single sending Head home.
After tying the count in the fifth
neither team scored again until the
eighth. In the eighth Wilson sewed
the game up as follows: Kline led off
with his second single of the day,
Quinn sacrificed him to second, Mar
tin secured an infield hit to short
who attempted to catch Kline at
third, Smith singled scoring Kline,
Walker was out Lake to Mcmahon,
and Walters hit to right and when
Campbell errored both Martin and
Smith scored.
Dutch Kline was again in the
stellar role yesterday He secured two
timely hits out of three times up,
scored a run, and caught the only
thing that came his way.
Smith also had a good day. At bat
four times, he scored two runs, Sc
cured two hits, and had two put outs
to his credit. The two chances that
he had and that one to Kline were
the only put outs made by the out
field during the day. .esns.-
The fnfie1d looked like a million
dollars yesterday. Especially did Wal

Each accepted ten chances without

Has the average housekeeper ever

are designed and executed, who thinks
them up. and how they are adopted by
the firms who use them? Probably she
has not. Women do not browse in the
