Norfolk, Va., AprU 20. The Wil mington ball team won to day's game from the Portsmouth players by su perior work both at the bat and in the field. They played an errorless game and only allowed the home team to score in the eighth inning when Kern- mer drove a lovely liner over outfield for four bases, scoring Weaver. Portsmouth by no means played a bad game in the field. The three errors which are charged to her are no more than will come in the general run of the game. While they made' seven hits off Allen's delivery, one being Kemmer's home run, and another be ing Murray's double, they were not able to hit when hits were needed. That was the principal cause of their downfall. Allen pitched a magnificent game. He struck out four and gave only one bass. Lipp was also in good form, but "went up in the air" when he should have been steady, thus allow ing the visitors to hit. He gave no bases on balls. Stafford's work on first bag was of the finest order and some of the chances which he accept ed were difficult in the . extreme. Cranston at catch also put up a first class article of ball ,and did much to win the game. Too much crediQannot go to Me- Ginnis at center field, who out of four times at the bat secured three good singles and accepted a long chance in the field. He further helped matters .along by scoring a run and it may be said that he practically won the game for the Wilmington team. -The score is as foilowaV--1' 13345678 9 ft. H. K.

While the game was in progress yesterday, although it was Saturday afternoon, business in many portions of the city was practi cally suspended and eager crowds gathered nervously about the several bulletin boards in the city, notably at the Fishblate Clothing Company's store, r where, with the characteristic enterprise of its genial proprietor, the Richmond and Portsmouth games were displayed by innings. There was9 manifested just a tinge of disappointment, however, over the result of yesterday's games when Richmond went down before Norfolk and thereby maintained the "cinch" which the Skippers have had on first place aince the opening of the league- There are dollars to doughnuts, how ever, that she will climb down from her lofty perch when she faces Wil mington on the. diamond, which will be for the three daya at Norfolk be ginning May 2d. Peculiar aad Eocourailor Coincidence. It Vas a coincidence frequently com mented upon last night that each team in the Virginia-Garoliifa League waa either the victor or vanquished In yes terday's games by the score of 3 to 2. Wilmington took the game from Portsmouth in that score and New port defeated "King Eelley's down home boys" from Raleigh, and Nor folk took the game from Richmond in exactly the same figures.

Every admirer of base ball in Wil mington eoncedea that we have a splendid team a penant winning team and it is now up to the sporting contingent of our population to see that the "Giants" in deed as well as in name do not suffer for financial backing. The subscription list never remains closed and avery body ihould contribute aomeihlna? to see' that the Wilmington team is kept up to its present high ? standard.- "Withrfow SUNDAY, APRIL 21, 1901.

"The visitors won on their merits. They put' up a splendid game, and took the locals into camp chiefly by reason of superior stick work. . It was a game in which both teams did wonderful fielding and was, as far as Portsmouth waacoa-. cerned, an errorless one. The home players' were up agaiust 'Browny' Foreman, and 'Browny' pitched the same unsolvable shoots and curves as when a shining light of the old State League. But one hit was made off his delivery. Attendance, 550. The Landmark says: "The game was the best that has been played this season, and the magnificent work of Brownie,' Foreman, alone, is respon sible for Portsmouth's defeat, for while Volz's. work, backed up as he was, would have won nine out of ten games, 'Brownie' was simply invinci ble, and thereby hangs a tale." Expianatloa of Base Ball Terms. A friend, of the Star, well versed in the rules of the games, favors it with the following elucidation of some common base ball terms in the tab ulated scores that are not familiar to the "laity:" Q. What ia a hit (b) ? A. A hit i8 a ball struck; by a batsman that falls on some part of the field so that a player is unable to handle, or which is too "hot" for him to handle in time to retire a batsman or ball runner. Q What is a put out (p. o.)! A. A put out is thedetiring of a batsman or base runner, either by the handling of a batted or thrown ball to the baseman, before the batsman or base runner is able to reach a base ; the catching of a batted ball by a play er while it ia in the air before having touched the ground, or the catching of a third strike of a batsman by the catcher. H. What is an assist (a) f A An assist is the handling, by a player, of a batted or thrown ball to a baseman or the catcher, retiring the base runner. -H What 4 awevioit Rt"" - a. An. error is tne raiiure oy a player to handle a batted or thrown ball within his reach so as to put out a base runner, or the throwing wild of a ball to a baseman, thereby allowing the base runner to reach one or more Q. What is a wild pitch? (W. P.) A. A wild pitch is a ball delivered by the pitcher which is beyond, the reach of the catcher. Q. What is a passed ball! (P. B.) A. A passed ball ia a ball delivered to the batsman by the pitcher which the catcher fails to stop. About the Knockers." Another gentleman, who has evi dently been up against the "kicsrers, kommonly kalled the knockers," hands in the following, which is not alto gether out of place: The Wilmington base ball team has shown that they are A No. 1. Their fielding is almost perfect; their bat terv work is smooth and effective. We now stand 600 per cent in the league all games played on strange rounds and vet there are "knock ers" who are constantly annoying the true sports by asking, "Why didn't Wilmington do so and sol" What is a "knocker!" If you'd sharpen down the little end of nothing and punch the pith out of a hair and put his knowledge of base ball in it, you would bear it rattle like a buck shot in a tin boiler. There are too many of this class among us. Visiting teams have even called down oar bleachers for 'knock ing" our own team work. Cm this be allowed! Will you permit it! We have a strong nine, and it ia our duty to uphold it Let us all endeavor to stamp out of our midst that most ob jectionable of all creatures, the man who "knocks." The Games Next Week. The League season on the Wilming ton diamond will open tomorrow afternoon at 4 o'clock and the public is earnestly requested, in view of the very great excitement over base ball, to allow enough space in the Hilton enclosure to permit Wilmington and Richmond to line up. Manager Skel ding, of the Street Railway Company, has ordered out all his cars and will have them at the Front Street junction as often as possible, i but those who can't ride are advised to walk and be gin walking early. The game will be called, promptly at 4 o'clock and the admission will be 25 cens and ten cents, extra for .grand stand. ; Ladies will be admitted to the grounds, free but a 25 cents charge will be made at the grand stand. The tickets for the ladies will be taken up by the grandstand gateman, but not at the entrance gate. Children under fourteen years of age will be admitted far fifteen centa. A limited number of season tickets for the seventy games to be played here will ; be Sold at the Fishblate Clothing Company's store, including admission to the .grand stand, for $10 each. - These tickets are transferable and may be had also upon the grounda. ' - - - ; ' : - Mayor Waddell will toss the first ball across the diamond to morrow afternoon and it will be caught (!) by President W. A.BJek, of the Wil mington Athletic Association. Then the defeat of Richmond will have be gun. Stewart will likely go in r the box for the "Giants." The8econd Regiment Band has been WHOLESALE GROCERS Held Interesting and Profitable : Conference in This City Last Evening. A ' DISTINGUISHED VISITOR. Presldeat J. A.

Mr. VanHoose is a fluent talker and has his .heart thoroughly in the work he represents.' He is a member of the 'firm of McLester-& VanHoose, One of the largest and most influential whole sale grocery esfablishments in the South and is an ex -mayor of Birming ham. He arrived in Wilmington yes terday afternoon from Columbia, S. C, on his round of visits in the intei rest of the trade to the twelve South ern States in the territory of the South ern wholesale Grocer's Association. He has already visited Mobile, New Orleans, Dallas, Houston and other cities in the Western section of his territory and will leave this evening for Norfolk to hold a conference with the jobbers there on Monday night. Returning he will visit Asheville and other cities along his route. ' Mr. Van Hoose addressed the meet ing last night in a speech of some length in which he stated that the object of his visit was to confer with the trade relative to a correction of trade abuses, rates of freight as compared with other cities, and the thousand and one advantages to be derived by a closer relationship with one another. His object in having present at the meeting the clerks and travelling salesmen, Ahe explained. was that in view of the modern method of distribution of goods through the invincible "drummer," he wished to impress upon them the desirability of eliminating the petty " jealousies and'unscrupulbus acts u pop ' the part of travelling men who are "on the road" in competition. He wished to cultivate among them a spirit of friendly feeling : and good fellowship that would ripen into a mutual benefit rJr both the house travelled for and the traveller; to en courage honorable and reputame methods on the part of travelling men in general. His talk was listened-to with avidity and profit by representatives of nearly every wholesale grocery house in Wilmington. Mr. Van Hoose expressed himself to a Stab representative last night as being highly pleased with the courte sies he had been shown in Wilming ton, and spoke encoursgingly of the prospect of Wilmington's becoming a great city in the future. He says Wil mington has about a dozen membera in the Southern Association, and they are always among the leading men at the annual conventions; the:r opin ions are often the most weighty and respected in the meeting. The next annual meeting of the Association will be held . either in Memphis, Tenn., or Jacksonville, Fla., about May 20th. RUNAWAY FRIDAY AFTERNOON. Mrs. G. M.
