Humphrey Easy for Norfolk.
"Fat" Zavadll's curves were no mys
tery for the local players Wednesday
afternoon , when they defeated the
Humphrey team by a score of 11 to G.
"Fat" seemed out of sorts and he
was hammered for twelve hits. His
support was also somewhat lame and
there were errors evenly matched to
the figure of six on each side. Denton
pitched a fair game of ball , but It was
not up to his average. Six hits were
taken from him.
Balsh , Humphrey's second baseman
nnd their heavy batter , was rendered
unconscious In the eighth inning when
Donton's curve struck him under his
left ear. He lay on the home plate
for a few moments and It took much
rubbing and fanning and a dash of
cold water from Capt. GHssman'a
bucket to revive htm , lie was able to
"call the umplro down , " however , be
fore the gatno was over. Outside of
this little excitement , the fans dubbed
the game aa uninteresting. The game
lasted over two hours and the dullness
of the sport mixed with the sizzling
sun made the fans uncomfortable.
