BEDFORD CITY, Aug. s.-ISpeciall-
The Roanoke Baseball Club played the
Bedford City team here to-day and won
by a score OF II to l, though the game
was given to the Bedfords by the Um-
pire. The game was very one-sided
affair from the beginning, and the Roa-
noke aggregation had it all their own
way. Bedford wasn't in it at any stage
Of the game, and it looked at one time
as II, the homo team would BIO treated to
a coat of whitewash.
This would have been the case had
not Hill on third muffed ball thrown
by the pitcher to catch the runner off
the bag. Booth was on the base, and
the ball glanced from the third base
mans hands and rolled back of the base,
and before it could be recovered the run
ner was safe at home with Bedford 8 only
run, and that on an ineXcusablo error.
After that interest in the game ceased,
as the Roanokes were thirteen runs
ahead, with no chance of being over.
taken.
The special features were the battery
work of Boyd and Michael of the Roa-
noke team, and the heavy batting an
excellent fielding of the visitors. Boyd
let the Bedfords down without hit
and Michael didn't have passed ball,
while Rosscr was accredited with
several Ford led the batting with
homer. three Dagger and a single, and

home run, q two baggcr and single
to his credit. The Roanokes had only
three fielding errors. The visitors put
up the best game played on these
grounds this year. The homo BOYS re-
ceived the worst drubbing Of tho season
and are consequently very blue over it.
Although the game was advertised to
begin ati:l5, through courtesy, Manager
Henry, of the visitors, agreed to wait
till $40 o'clock in order that West, the
bedford pitcher, might get here from
Lynchburg. Owing to this delay only
seven innings could be played before
the train on which the visitors were to
leave was due. Consequently Henry
asked that the game be called back to
tie fifth inning in order that they might
be allowed time to catch the train
notwithstanding the fact that Henry
had agreed to wait for West. when he
could have forced the Redfords to play,
lowison positively refused to lot tie
game be called, and wanted to forco tt @
Roanokes to stay over till Sunday, which
they could only do at considerable D.
cuniary loss. Henry refused to be bull
dozed, and ordered his men off the field,
and the game was given to Bedford by
score of 0 to o.
The baseball patrons arc very much
displeased at the very shabby treatment
accorded the visitors by Captain Howl
sen.
