The third game of the series be
tween the Roanokes and the Winston
club was won BY the latter after q hot
contest, and to Bennett is the victory
due, for two men were On bases wher
his homer was knocked.
The koanokes played a beautiful
fielding game with but two errors, an
excusable one by Alex Broaie, and
one by Quarles, who held the ball
and let man score. The Winston
boys did better batting than on the
day previous, and touched Brodie up
for seven hits, including two two bag
gers and home run, while the home
tea monty secured four singles from
Mccain. The fielding OF the visitors
was away below the average, aud the
error column looks fat.
The first inning was not characterized
by any run getting, but The %inston's
made u nice double play. Steve Wig
more was on FIRST when Ford knocked
a corker to center field. 1t was quick
ly returned to second and Steve was
put tout. Rosenthal was first at the
bat in the second and he reached first
on a scratch hit |. Brodie sacrificed
and advanced him peg; he went to
third on kirby's hit and home on u
passed ball A Brodie struck out and
Dolan died before he reached first.

victims. Roanoke q; Winston, ..

the Winstons, was the next batter.
Two men were on the bases aud it
was the batsmans time to distinguish
himself and Bennett was equal TO the
occasion. The first good BALI that
was thrown came in contact with his
piece of willow; it had whiskers on it
and dropped with the usual dull,
sickening thud'' on the other side Of
the right field fence The bail went
over the fence in almost the same
place that Dolan's homer did and the
yell that went up was almost rs
deafeninS. Five runs, whew 1t
somewhat disconnected the Roanoke
boys but they soon recovered, and j.
Jones and Kelley ended the agony by
getting out. Roanoke. /; Winston, 3.
Again in the fifth no runs were
marked on the blackboard. In the
sixth Quarles reached first on an er-
ror. Rosenthal did likewise, and on
errors by the third baseman and left
fielder chased Quarles home. |. Bro
