The WORK OF TEE BATTERIES
Henderson Makes n Mark la tho Field.
Some Pretty Plays "A Small Crowd
On Account of Rnin-Bat II was En-
thnsiestic.

Roanoke gave the Bedford Clay
| boys the razzle dazzle yesterday and
sent them back home defeated.
The crowd attending the game was
snail, on account of the threatening
weather.. and at one time it looked us
| il the rain would break up the game.
The features were tie work OF both
batteries and the fielding of Sander
son, who, though he looked like a
farmer, played like u professional.
Play was called about 4.20, with
the Bedford City team at the bat.
Boothe made Il short hit, which WAS
thrown wild to first, he going to see
ond. reaching third on Sanderson's
scratch hit. Dame came next and
knocked long fly TO SprOul, which
was fielded nicely. ID. Aunspaugh
got to first on a scratch hit and Boothe
scored. Wigmore, Welch and Brodie
crossed the home plate in this inning
for the ROanokc's.
In the second inning both sides were
retired in one, two, three order.
In the third, Bedford City got an
other man across, the plate, the
Roanokcs being retired Us in the pre-
vious inning.
The visitors failed TO score in the
fourth. Sands caught the ball with
his bat, and sent it over the ground as
if fired from the mouth OF u cannon.
1t passed all the fieldcrs, and WAS only
stopped by striking the centre field
fence, Sands crossing the plate before
it could be returned. A. Brodic and
Kirby were stopped at first, and keil-
ley fouled out.
Another run was tailed for the Wis
itinS team in the fifth. Booth died
at first, Sanderson struck out, Dame
hit the ball for two bases, and reached
home on w AunspauSh's hit to the
right field. d. Aunspaugh struck out
WiSmore and Welch struck out,
Sproul was hit with u pitched ball,
and l. Brode out on a long fly to
Sandcrson Roanoke, / Bedford
City,3.
The game began to get very inter
estins in the sixth. Otey hit for a
base, went to second on CARROTS out
at first, and crossed the plate on Ros
ser's hit. Lee and Boothe struck out,
retiring the side Sanderson did some
line fielding at this stage Of the game,
capturing two very difficult balls
from the bats of keeferand Kirby, re
spectively. Sands struck out. Roam
oke, 4; Bedford City, j.
During the remainder Of the game
Bedford scored no more. Roanoke
scored twice in the seventh, thus win
ming tho game by score Of to 4.
a very pretty double play was made
in the eighth. Wigmore captured a
fly from Boothe's but, returned it in
time TO Garrett who ran too far off

JENNY LADD'S ROMANCE.
Disguised as Boy She Helps Her Lover
in Blacksmith Shop.

The escapade of Jenny Ladd, the only
daughter and heiress Of Harris Ladd of Ste oh
ney, Conn, a retired manufacturer, in mas
querading as boy to be near u low-born lover
is the sensation Of the day. Miss Ladd is
eighteen, brunette and very pretty. Last
summer at picnic she met George Hazleton.
a journeyman blacksmith of Bridgeport who
was passing himself off as Yale student The
girl fell in love with him, and seeing a chance
for a prize he wooed her and the couple were
soon engaged When they sought the parental
blessing Mr.. Ladd made inquiries. and discov-
ering Hazletons true social position grew
furious and drove the lover from the town.
Hazleton fearing the old mans wrath returned
to Bridgeport and resumed his trade. The
girl after vainly seeking to gain her fathers
consent, ran away one morning before sunrise.
crrrying off the clothes of boy cousin, who
was stopping at the house.
Downing these and cutting off her long hair
she trudged all the way to bridgeport. and
after a two days hunt. found her lover. Halle
ton. instead of trying to persuade the foolish
girl to 60 home, told her that he unable to
support her just then. but il she really loved
him and would wait he would get her a place
in the shop as helper to him, and when they
made enough money between them they would
get married The girl agreed, to his delight
for he felt sure Of a fathers forgiveness when
once welded. The girl assumed a boys dress
aud, by sufficient rubbing of dirt and CRIME on
her face and hands. passed the careless exam
ination OF the boss blacksmith, and under the
name Of Will Richards, was hired as Hazleton's
helper. The ruse succeeded for two weeks
when HazletOn suddenly fell victim Of pneu-
monia and died. The girl was distracted. She
afraid to return home, for her father, she
learned, had suspected she was with Hazleton.
and had openly disowned her. She, therefore,
continued her disguise and appointed
helper to another smith. This might have con-
tinued indefinitely, but Saturday she was kicked
by horse and her sex discovered. She
was hastily taken to her boarding house and
her father notified. Yesterday morning he
arrived. but the girl fed to parts unknown.
He has been assured that during all her absence
the girl remained virtuous and pure. and,
penting of his harshness, he has offered large
reward for her discovery with the promise OF
forgiveness. 1t is feared the girl has sought
to hide herself in New York and will get into
trouble.
