EMERSON NINE LAID LOW IN
WINSIDE TOURNAMENT.
As a grand llnalc of the base ball
ft'HHon of 1008 , the Norfolk team
served up a nest full of nine goose
eggs to the Emerson bunch of picked-
up stars , and generously allowed them
three measly little hits. Klrklnnd was
In grand form and speeded up the
balls to the batters with plenty of
speed. The whole team WUH up on
their toes all the time nnd furnished
Klrklund with the very beat of sup
port.
port.Miss
Miss Amada Clement , the lady um
pire , was on hand , nnd gave the best
exhibition of umpiring the team has
Been this > i-ar. The only fault that
could be found In her umpiring was
her Inability to get cloc to the plays
quickly as an official of the mascu
line variety.
This game ends the base ball sea
son as far as Norfolk Is concerned.
, The record for the season Is one to be
proud of when the fact Is taken Into
consideration that only two salaried
men have been carried on the te.un
this year , the rest of the team bolng
composed of home boys. In a short
time a record of the finances will be
made public by the board of di
rectors. Prospects are very good for
a team next year ; a bettor team If
anything , than the one which so cred
itably represented our city the past
year.
