Ms. O. T. Bland and Sheriff W.
Smith, who have furnished the finan
cial backing for the aggregation since
the opening of the season. - : -
The reason assigned for the with
drawalof Messrs. Smith and Bland ia
that they do not care to back a losing
team, but the plucky players of the
team have determined , to . keen the
team going, if possible, ! and Manager
wynn Ularke says that a stock com
pany to carry the team through the
season will bex formed in Portsmouth
in a few days.
It IS talked in WiJmine-ton that
Charlottejrants any franchise that is
to be given up and is anxious to com
plete the list of six teams in case one
drops out- The general opinion with
League managers, however, appears
to be that Portsmouth will stick and
will pat in the field a winning team.
A Norfolk Landmark reporter thus
quotes Mr. Bland, one of the retired
backers of the team : 1
"Mr. Smith and mvself have snent
a snag little sum on the 1 Portsmouth
club in the hope of srettinsr together a
strong team,, which we thought before
tne season began was an assured fact
We believe it is to be a lvervatrone
club now; bat one which seems - to
be persistently pursued by some kind
of a 'hoodoo.' to unfortunate has it
financially and otherwise. The salaries
of the club members have been paid
in fall to date, and having gone as far
as we cared to go under the exiatine
conditions, we concluded to inform
the league of that fact, which we
did at the league meeting Wednesday
night.
"The money put into the club by
Mr. Smith and myself, having been
used for the benefit of the game is not
lost, so far as the game is concerned.
We have leased and paid for the park
for the entire baseball season, besides
owning tne uniforms ana all otner
para phernalia of the club, ail ei which
we will contribute free of charge
to the club or to those whom I am
reliably- informed will back the club
farther financially.
"There are no debts to pay. Thus
those who will assume active manage
ment will reap the" benefit of the
money spent on - th team by Mr.
Smith and I, and you can see our
desire to have a club in Portsmouth by
what we have done and are still will
ing to do. The club will remain in
Portsmouth, so say the league mag
nates So. to" use a common phrase.
it is an to the ueoole for them to de
cide whether they want baseball here
this season or not."

Downright hard luck and a liberal
amount of inability to hit when hits
were needed was the cause of Wil
mington's downfall a second time
before the crack team of Norfolk yes
terday afternoon after a magnificent
exhibition full of snap and vim and of
just such ball playing as will make
the League a success, if it is kept up.
"Tacks" Alien pitched superb ball
and should have won his game. It was
his first loss of a game this season and
there was nothing in his twirling to
his discredit. Crockett also played
his usual good game and always lined
out the bail when nothing else but
inera would do. Allen was also
clever yth the stick, but Stafford was
not quite up to his phenomenal stand
ard of previous games. At one time
in the seventh inning: when "Tacks"
had already slipped across the home
plate for a score and there were three
men on bases he flew out to third
but he was not to blame for that and
the Wilmington "fans" have that
implicit confidence in their gallant
captain that they always have had.
Cranston was first up to the bat in
the game and went out to first and
waa followed by "Davy1' Crockett, who
hit to right for three bags but on at
tempt to steal home was retired; Mc
Oinnis went out to second and Staf
ford to left. For Norfolk Spratt flew
oat to left; Smith lilt to left for two
and stole third; Mullen hit out to
short Icoring Smith: E. Gillisran
fanned.
In the third Thackara and Warren
fanned, Osteen singled to right but
Clayton hit to third forcingr Osteen.
"Red" Gilligan got first on Warren's
wild throw; and stole second; Nelson
hit to left for two bags scoring "Red
dy;" Morrisey flew out to right; Mc
Dade fanned and Wolfe went out to
centre.
In the third, Allen aingled to, left;
Cranston bunted to pitch and on wild
throw got third, scoring Allen; Crock
ett flew out to right scoring Cranston ;
Mack" flew out to second ; Stafford
went to left for two bags but "Thack"
went out from pitch. Spratt flew out to
short; Smith went to left for two bases
bu Mullen and E. Gilligan went out
from second.
In the fourth, Osteen, Waraen and
Clayton went out from second, third
and short "Red" Gilligan, for Nor
folk, got two bags to left; Nelson and
Morrisey flew out to second and centre ;
McDade'hit to pitcher, on whose wild
throw "Reddy" scored; Wolfe went
out from short
In the fifth Allen went out from
second, Cranston to centre and Mc
Ginnia to first, Crockett in the mean
time making a single. For Norfolk,
Spratt flew out to left; Smith out from
pitch and Munen to Crockett in right
field.
In the sixth, Stafford and Thackara
went out from short and left, and
Osteen fanned. For Norfolk, E. Gillir
gan fanned ; R. Gilligan flew out to
left; Nelson was hit and walked; Mor
risey went out from pitch.
In the seventh, Warren fanned;
Clayton hit safe to Umpire Clark ; Allen
forced Clayton at second; Cranston hit
over short; Crockett hit to centre for
two bags, scoring Allen and advanc
ing Cranston to third; McGinnis up
and Crockett stole second; "Mack"
walked ; Stafford, with the bases fullt
flew out to third. For Norfolk, Mc-
Dade flew out to right; Wolf fanned;
Spratt hit to centre for two bases, but
Smith went out from pitcher.-' -v
In the eighth, 'Thack," Osteen and
Warren went out from centre, pitch
and second: Mullen hit four fly to
Warren and out for Norfolk; E. Gilli
gan hit over third . for two bags; R.
Gilligan hit over short for two bags,
scoring E. Gilligan; Nelson hit to
pitoher and R. Gillican went out at
third; Morrisey flew out on foul to
left. v -
In the ninth, the Giants took the
bat for the last time. Clayton went out
from short; Allen flew out 'to centre;
Cranston popped foul to catcher.
Norfolk didn't take her turn at bat,
and the game was won, 4 to 8.
The game was played ' in less than
an hour and a half before about 500
spectators. The weather was clear
and a stiff northeast wind only kept
the the conditions from being perfect

Better luck next week, old boy.

The admission is only 25 cents and

It will be interesting news to WiU
mington fans that Armstrong has
gone back with the police force and is
no more with Norfolk. A New York
travelling man writing' the Richmond
Dispatch of yesterday says in refer
ence to the recent attack upon Umpire
Clark at Norfolk: "Some seven sales
men, and some of the bast business
men of Norfolk, were a witness of the
scene, and in justice to fair play and
truth, would say, our one opinion is
that Armstrong is a loafer and a dis
grace tohe game. Myself and fellow
drummers have travelled from Frisco
to New York, and always patronize
the sport, but never saw worse dirty
ball-playing than this man Armstrong
was guilty of."
Both Umpires Staley and Unchurch
suffered roasting at the hands of the
Richmond and Norfolk papers yester
day. Wilmington hopes to have
Old Man" Clark with the Giants
here next week and the League offic
ials have been so advised.
Norfolk's Estimate of Wilmiflflon.
The Norfolk Landmar k of yesterday
in speaking of the game there Thurs
day between the locals and Wilming
ton says it waa the most exciting and
interesting game of ball played there
this season. The honors were about
evenly divided between &reman and
Morrisey. Continuing, tbe paper says;
"The boys from Wilmington msde
their first appearance in this city, and
be it said to their credit, they do not
know what it is to give up a game.
They fight from start to finish, and,
without any unnecessary kicking,
they play a hard game They are a
stocky set and will make any team
that bsata them know that it has been
playing ball. Their captain is Stafford,
the heavy hitter of the old Petersburg
crew pennant winners one time,
while - on tneir pitching staff is
Brownie' Foreman, well known here
and elsewhere in the State. Other
men are 'Davy Crockett,' of the old
Roanoke collection, and Thackara.
who ia known here. The uniforms of
the 'down home' boys are the neatest
yet worn by visitors, and in their
efforts to make runs the wearers do
not mind getting them dirty. The
game reminded one of ye olden days,'
and the-down borne' boys nad many
admirers and supporters, who gave
them as much encouragement as they
could."

CITV SEWERAQE QUESTION.
Philadelphia Concern is Working lodis-
trioflsly to Establish System Here.
The special meeting of the Board of
Aldermen last night for the purpose
of passing upon, the amended plan of
the Sanitary Sewerage Company, of
Philadelphia, as adopted by the State
Board of Health at Raleigh Wednes
day morning, was called off at the
last moment, as the council committee
having this matter in charge was un
able to meet in the afternoon and pre
pare a report for the night session of
the Aldermen.
At the meeting of the State Board
at Raleigh, Major Chauneey Ives,
chief engineer of ' the Philadelphia
company,aubmitted alternate plans for
the proposed system in Wilmington,
but recommended a disposal plant as
the most desirable and it was adopted,
with alight changes by the Board.
This plan insures against contamina
tion of Smith's creek, as the sewerage
is treated by aeration and filtration so
that the effluent becomes harmless.
The New Hanover Board of Health
held a meeting at noon yesterday in
Mayor WaddelTs office and Dr. George
G. Thomas, a member of both the
State and local boards, and Capt Jos.
H. McRee, the city engineer, explained
the result of the Raleigh meeting and
exhibited the detailed plana.
It is probable now that so far as the
Aldermen are concerned, the matter
will rest until the regular meeting
Monday night

In the case of the Cape Fear Lum
ber Company against L. T. Cotting-
ham, W. J. McDiarmid . and Jno. H.
Cook, assignee of L T. Cottingham,
of ; Maxton. N. C. Judge Purnell
signed a decree declaring the indebted'
ness of the defendant to the plaintiff
to be $6,500, with interest from Oct
3rd, 1899, and costs in the action, and
appointing J. O." Carr. Esq., special
master in chancery for the purpose of
making the sale of timber lands and
all other property conveyed in a
mortgage executed to the plaintiff in
the action, the said sale to be made at
auction on June 3rd, in the city of
Wilmington after due advertisement
It looks now as if the term will extend
beyond to morrow. It is expected that
the case of H. T." Allen, the alleged
swindler from Laurinburg, N. O., will
be taken up today, but this is not defi
nitely known. "Jno. H. Cook, Esq., of
Maxton, is one of Allen's attorneys,
and it ia learned that a motion will
likely be made by him to continue the
case, inasmuch as the senior counsel
in the case, Walter H. Neal, Esq., of
Laurinburg; ia detained at home on
account of the sickness of a relative.
The prosecution; however, expects a
trial at this term, aa a number of wit
nesses are here from a great distance
and at heavy expense and a continua
tion would work a very marked hard
ship upon them. .L
