LUITICH DID THE PITCHING. It Wm Not A Scientific Gmno But It Was An Interesting Ono All Throngh -Tho Crabs Hanl Plghters And Never Stop riuylng Until Tito l ast Alan la Out-The Little Ilnmptoii Urownlo Pitched Good Hall, Hut He Lost. Yes; It was an Interesting game of ball; very Interesting from the fact that It kept the routers for both teams guessing from start to finish. 1 It was I anybody's old game until the last man.| was out, nnd the hard, gingery playing . put up by the Hampton team, in con? junction with the closeness of the score, gave the rooters of a nervous nature a shaky feeling and it dizziness border? ing on a fainting spell. There was a good crowd present, many fans from "Crabtown" coming up to see the Crabs satisfy their appetite by n good baseball lunch off the able bodied, healthy Moers. Hut there are, times when people reckon without their j host, and this happened to be one of those, for instead of tho "Crabs" lunch- j ins. thereby fattening their percentage. t)i<- Boers made lobsters <>f them, and with an usual sprinkling of ginger salad, bit a huge chunk off their per? centage column. The loss of yesterday's game, how? ever, was notbinpr to the discredit of the "Crabs" from "Crabtown." for they played the game for all there was In It, and the hot stuff of a gingery nature they infused into the game "was an in I teresting feature. These boys are al? ways in Iho-guiuu tu -win. and the fact" that they are a run or two behind does not damoen their ardor; but, on the contrary, makes them fight all the harder. Talk about chirping! This team has Richmond beat to a standstill in that particular, for they keep up an In? cessant chatter all through the game: and are almost as irrepressible as a lot of magpies. They have team work down to perfection and you see no funny breaks with these fellows. They bit and get away and that probably makes them stronger than they would otherwise be, and Is no doubt the secret of their success thus far. Portsmouth yesterday put uP'n good, snappy K?me. The team had energy and played the game- Ginger was not absent by any means, the players hand? ing it out in quantities t<> suit the times anil opportunities offered. There was an improvement in their work in every direction and department, notwith? standing the fact that Luskey is in a crippled condition and that "Big Sham" Meyers was out of the game with a badly injured hand. Colcman, the big, pitcher, covered the first bag with credit and, in conjunction with bis nice fielding, he made two clever singles. The boys hit well and as a rule fielded nicely, but somehow they seem to have one bad inning' which practically cinches the game for the opposing team, yesterday's game proving the ex? ception to the rule. They can play ball and, using the expression of ono of them yesterday. "They Propose to steady up now and go through this league like a streak of greased lightn? ing." The cost of an error was very plainly exemplified yesterday, in the first in ning Gltllgnn for tho visitors' struck out, Dttrrett. the next man tin, went out on a lly to Col email?two* men out. Ashenback singled and chandler hits to Ketnmer. who fumbles the ball. Here was a chance to retire the side, but Instead there were two m< n on bases. Allen, the next "Crab" to pop up with the tide, singled?one run came in. Diesel singled and two more runs came In. one of them through the error of LiUitlsh. who did not .seem to know what to do after the ball was returned to him from right field, where it was sent by Deisel, he having ocean's of time to put Allen out nt the^lat^-rrrrrr wh^n-h*-rHri thmtv it yentthe sphere over Luskey's head. The next man went out. but three "crabs" bad floated in with the tide. Which, at tiiat time, seemed to be flood with them, and all on account of the error made by big fat. good-natured "Blllle" Kcmmer. He felt as mean as any on,, else about it. Hut he "cheered" up and kept at them, not letting a lit tlc thing like that worry him. and the fact of his never letting up has made for him a warm place in the hearts of the n.oters. and what be can do with that fat bat of bis makes the average pitcher sick at heart, and though he bit the ball hard yesterday be could not land but one of them safe. Portsmouth came in for her first, and things looked lively from the start. Kohnle got bit with a pitched ball, and landed on the initial station. Clark soaked one on the trade mark good and bard, but Allen Rot it. One out. Long ley bit a long one for three bags, ami one Boer crossed the rubber. Ketnmer lb w out to Ashenback at first. Two out. Lonsley still on third. Murray spit on his hands, grabbed up a Ion of dust, more or less, gave his bat a fancy I w ist or two. Mr. Martin, the little "Brownie" pitcher, put one where Mur? ray wanted it. and bang it went over the left field fence for a 1 homer." Three runs and the score tied, two of them earned. Colcman hits out a clean one for one bag, and Mammon does the.same thing, but that little hard-working hustler. Luskey, hits a fly to Deisel, and it was all over, so far as that inning was con? cerned. After that Portsmouth bad the game well In hand, although all through the game there was a feeling of unrest among the rooters, who rooted with a will. "Brownie" Martin pitched good ball, the heavy hitting Boors getting ten bits off him- two triplets, a homer and seven singles, while the "Crabs." with all their ginger and bluster, could lind but eight hits off Lultich?seven singles and a double, three of the sin? gles being made in the first Inning after a chance had been given to retire the side. It was not a pitcher's battle; It was not a hitting game; nor was It a clean fiel.ling game by any means, as the score will show. Hut. nevertheless. It was a game In which you could get "warm" .rooting and squeezing for the home team, the difference In the end being favorable to the home team, and that was very satisfactory to the home people.

This Is done to give everybody j a chance to see the firemen's parade. Persons, that clever young twlrler from the A. and M. College, Raleigh, N. C.', will fili the box for Portsmouth I to-day. He is said to he a crack-a-Jack. I Set him. Leonard has been released. Barring ; his ivlldn'ess, he pitched mighty clever ball for Portsmouth. Murray's hothe-run hit over left Held fence was a gem. Ho i.; the second one of the home team to turn that trick this season. Diesel's pull down of Luskoy's hoi line hit over the third bag was of the sen piece of work, cutting that clover lit? tle catcher out of a two, If n>? t n three, base hit. Say, Mitchell, ynii were blind yester? day when you called H?mmert out on ('lark's interference. Got that saw? dust out of your eyes and umpire ball like the two first games you officiated In here. Everybody pet together and take three straights from the "Crnbs." It's easy. There are no tin-cans here for them to use. That is right, boys: get in the game with both feet like you did yesterday. Coach loud: keep up a constant chirp? ing on the field, and even on tho bench. You have as much right to do it as the visitors. They were allowed to do it yesterday to their heart's content. CATTLE THIEF. Yesterday morning Special Con staible J. K. Hall arrested a negro named Richard Carter, who confessed to Justice Sillotson that he had stolen live cattle from farmer's In the vici? nity of Great Bridge.
