Norfolk's excellent showing In Hampton
is all that the Norfolk "rooters" could
desire. The "Phenoms" won the tir.st

ing that Hampton Is conceded to he one
of the strongest teams ever got together
in the Virginia League, and that the j
games were played on Hampton grounds,
this Is indeed complimentary to Smalt's
"Phenoms."
It muut he remembered that thouch
Hampton and Richmond stand above
Norfolk in the percentage table, the two
former teams had an easy thing for the
first six games of the League series, and
since I hey have not met foemen worthy
of their steel, Hampton has lost, but
gained nothing, und Richmond has lost
one game and won one. During the next
few days there is likely to be a general
shake-up in the percentage column. The
