homo team won by score of to ;, and
showed their superiority over the
Christiansburgs at every point.
The game was too onc-sided to be in
teresting, and there were some very
bad plays made on both sides. In the
carly part of the game Wigmorc seemed
to be unable to hold any ball that came
his way, but he braccd up and during
the latter part OF the game played good
ball.
Tho entire team is deserving of credit
for their work. The team work was
very good with tho exception of one in
stance, when Beck who was PLAYING
third base ran over into Shortstop
Brodle's territory after. n fly ball and
muiied 1t, the error giving the visitors
run. With this exception Beck did
excellent work and his batting, base
running and fielding aided materially
in the victory. The work of Alex.
Brodic, ut short, was of very hirh or
der, particularly in tho seventh inning.
when he picked up swift groundcr
from Hcndry's bat and retired the run

phenomenal order und tho opposing
batsmen were unable to touch him. But
