There is some good base ball mate
rial in the Winston team. which com
pleted its series of games with Roam
oke yesterday, and it is highly cred
liable to the home men that they held
the Winstons down so well. They
had won the championship of North
and South Carolina, without losing a
game this season until coming to
Roanoke.
A. K. Mccain, the main pitcher, is a
sharp-eyed little fellow, apparently
not the man for the box; but his de-
livery Friday convinced the Roanokes
that he can pitch ball, and was much
praised by the spectators.
J. J. Kelly, the catcher, is of fine
appearance physically, and catches
the heaviest pitcher with ease. a ball
had not passed him thi season before
the games with Roanoke.
Farrell is q fine second baseman,
and is one of the best EATERS of the
team.
Mccain. Farrell and Kelley, ali
made creditable records on the Baiti-
more Unions last season.
Luther Bennett is the youngest
man, being only is years ofage, and is
one of the best. He has record as a
catcher and batter, which were well
sustained by his beautiful batting
and fine catching here. He made the
only run for Winston in the first Two
games, and his home run won the
victory Friday. He was for two sea-
sons catcher for the Charlotte team,
which was champion of the State uu.

for the best batting record on that
nine last year.
J.. Jones is the meaty man of the
team. Stalwartand broad-shouldered

injured his record since tackling Bro

work on first base. He is native OF
Richmond.
Charlie Jones is a genuine tar-heel
and one of the best fellows on the
team. he is a fine fielder, always

The Winston boys went out to Riv
erside Park yesterday determined &c
win the last game and break ever
with Roanoke on the series. a glance
at the score shows that they succeeded
with vengeance.
The game was extremely interesting
FROM start to finish and q number OF
good plays were made, the beautiful
running catch of Kirby being worthy
of especial notice. Mccain, the pet
pitcher of the Winston's, surprised his
run and sliden brethren by knocking
the ball over the right field fence for
home run.
Steve Wlgmore was the first Roam
oke man to come before Mccain, and
he received q base on balls. Ford
reached first on an error. Irving
Brodie struck out, Capt. Wigmore
and Ford moved UP base on a passed
ball, but Rosenthal hit to center field
and Steve was doubled up ut the
plate. Mccain got life at first on
Widgins' wild throw. Lanier struck
out. Farrell knocked little one and
Mccain was thrown out at the plate.
The next man was victim.
In the second Kirby reached first ON
an error, went to second before the
ball was recovered, and third and
home on passed balls. Quarles, Dolan
and Widgin struck out. Winston did
nothing. Roanoke, 1; Winston. o.
Nothing further in the way OF ran
getting took place until the sixth inn

the score. In the sixth, Steve Wig
more was out at first, Ford hit 10
right, Brodie flew out to second, Ros-
enthal reached first on error, and
Kirby got Il life also on an illegal de-
livery filling the bases. 1t was now
Quarles' time to do the work, but he
was not equal to the emergency and
he popped up a fly that was easily
captured. Kelley struck out, McGain
reached first on an error and stole
