an uphill game from start to finish,
but they made gallant fight for tie
victory. The fentC es of the gan t

an astonishingly large territory.

out to the pitchers !,ox. and after

fellows can't play bal, little BIT
The appearance of The old cnCm
seemed to infUse new life into the
home team, and they played better
ball afterwards. Keef-r was first ut
the bat. and he knock ed a short fly to

Neither side scored in the two re-
manning innings, but it was very ex-
citing and the cranks were kept on the
qui vive of expectancy. The dog again
in the ninth started out across the
diamond and A. Brodie, who was at
the bat, saw him. 1t discouraged
Alex. to think that their mascot
didn't appear till the sixth inning
and he struck out. Dolin, probably,
feeling the same depression. knocked
little one in the infield and was
thrown out at first. 1t began to look
squally for the big boys in gray, but
Kirby, who has been setting his b :. eve y
got first bag on balls. l. Brodie was
next at the bat and he knocked a
corking two-bagger to left field fence
advancing Kirby to third. With
Keefer at the bat it looked as if itoa-
noke would tie the score, hut Harry
didn't get it on the bat at the right
place and Rosenthal got it up before
he reached first. The score:
ROANOKE.
