Of course everybody was -sure that Wilmington would have won had she played, and on account of the no-game proposition just the least bit of dissatisfaction was expressed by some of the more chronic "loonies," who couldn't reconcile the fact of a downpour in Newport and comparatively fair weather conditions in Wilmington. But after a bit, there came along a nice little shower in Wil mington and most of the crowd, con ceding that it really had rained in Newport News went their several ways. One of the more pronouncedlcranks Was even so unkind as to say that the "Hobs Editor," whose absence over time is yet unexplained, fearful of the result at Newport yesterday, had pro ceeded from Maxtol and had brought a new fangled rain machine to play upon the elements, thereby saving "His fbvorites" from a possible de feat and maintaining his prognostica tion that the Giants would get only four of the games played this week, wkib the7- norr llMVO. . The games at -Portsmouth and Richmond yesterday were not inter rupted, the Red Birds having been defeated, five to one, by the Grays, and the Orphans having been reduced in the percentage column by Norfolk in a score of six to five. The games were as follows: Norfolk, Va., May 31. With Dannehower in the box today for the locals and a safe lead of four runs gained in the third inning, Norfolk had no trouble in winning from the Orphans by the score of 6 to 5. The home team was up against Volts and got only seven hits, while the visi- tors got ten but not the game. m SCORE BY rJTOIHaS. 123456789 rhb Norfolk ....0 0 4 0 0 0 1 0 16 7 4 Portsmouth. 1 1 0 0 2 1 0 0 05 10 4 Batteries Dannehower and Leh man ; Voltz and Westlake.

The morning games at Portsmouth andat Richmond on Thursday were both productive of trouble for that official. A special from Richmond to the Washington Dmo maw. ' The fifteen inninsr srame ' here this mnrninir between Richmond and - Ra leigh was oneof the most -exciting of tne season, ana in inej&st inning um nire Snvder came near being mobbed. The trouble occurred in the thirteenth inninc. Raleieh had two men out &nd two men on bases, when the ball was hit to the infield and Was passed back, by Daly to Mann to cut off the runner, who was then making' for home. Mann got the ball and would have put out the runner, but he was knocked off his feet by Hennager.who was coaching and the runner reached the plate. Instead of calling him put. the umpire allowed him to return to his base and take the chance of scoring nn the next man un. This incurred the anger of the ex cited crowd, and a number of people ran out into the field and attacked the umpire. He was struck twice, and would . have - fared worse . bad not cooler heads and hands put a stop to the proceedings and allowed the game to proceed- Of the trouble in Portsmouth, the Star, of that city, says in its account of the ten inning game with Norfolk: The ninth- was non productive of runs and Portsmouth was blanked in the tenth.7 Norfolk's first two batters were easy outs in this inning, but Smith and Gilligan landed singles, I and Daly after -having two strikes, I hit a foul to left field feice and Smith crossed' the- plate with the winning run. ..Nobody, thought that Mr. Sta- SATURDAY, JUNE 1,1901. ley v would have the nerve to allow the run to count and were waiting for him to send the runner back to second base, but he calmly walked off il istJI .a . l ; in . me usiu, declaring ub dsii iair, ana bv doiner sanearlv mecinitated a row.
