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."

Richmond Portsmouth 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 .

The admission is only 25 cents and tickets may be procured at tbe door. 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." Games oa Other Diamonds.

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 The Eatertainmeat Reseated. The "White and Red Rose" enter tainment at the residence of Mrs. Graf flin Thursday evening was so success ful that it was repeated last night at the same, place.; From the first enter tainment $61 was realized for the Grace M.

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 WHOLE NO. 10,517 PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS.
