The threatening weather and tn
poor playing of the past two day
kept great many people away, ant
the crowd was very small. LanggooC
was again in the box for the visitor
and pitched better than previously
I'm fact. the entire team was in bette
condition than it had been since com
ing 10 the city.
Roanoke went first to the bat anC
Wigmore was thrown ont by pretty
ball from Smith. Spronl next tool
his base on balls and Eord's hit Il
Smith forced him Ia second. Rosen
thai sent a semi-circle fly to Snitl
and thus wound MP the Roanoke,
little ballot yarn. The Stars succeed
ed in getting man on first on az
error by Widgen and he stayed there
until Yngling and King struck on,
and Duke flew out TO Ford.
In the second inning Roanoke
earned Il run. Quarles was retired by
Il throw from Michelman 10 first anc

into the left but Rosenthai's groundel
forced him out on second. The visit

first but he died in getting 10 second
Dolan's very pretty catch from Mich.

In the first half OF the fourth Roam
oke tried hard to get there but
couldn't make the rifle. There Were
two men out when Dolan reached

went 10 third on II hit by keefcr tc
the right, where the ball was fumbIed,
Dolan was touched out by Widgin :
hit TO the pitcher The rain all dur
ing this inning was falling fast but
Mr.. Welch didn't call the players in.
1t was coming down in good shape
when King took his place at the plate
and sent II bouncer 10 Widgin, who
picked it up, but the wet ball slipped
through his fingers and went over
Rosey's head. while the runner went
to second. The rain by this time was
coming down too briskly for further
play. and the game ended.
The Roanol<es played an errorless
game, as far as ii Went, but the Bright
Stars made four errors. Following Is
