Roanoke Should Prepare for the
Combat With Winston.

The Winston Baseball Club is play
ing series of three games at Lynch
burg this week, and arrangements are
being perfected to have that crack or
ganization of ball tossers and sluggcrs
here for three games this week, begin
ming Thursday afternoon. Lynchburg
has gotten together some good material
ana is playing good ball, the Winstons
not having such an easy time as was eX-
pected.
Roanoke is not in very good condition
to tackle the Winstons, as several of
tho men arc on the sick list; but the
Roanoke team will contrivo to mako it
interesting for them. We are weak in
the box, and another pitcher should be
secured for this week ii the Ninstons
are to be played. Baker Dunn, OF
Abingdon, could probably be secured.
He is fine pitcher, and could hold the
Winstons down in good style. llama
injured his arm at Bedford City some
time ago, but is getting shape again.
Mlchaols, his catcher, says Hanna has
better curves thar Boyd. but the lattcr's
left-handed delivery makes up for his
lack of curve.
Sanderson will play this week, which
Will give the team another hard hitter
and considerably strengthen the team,
as he will be played in the field when
not behind the bat. Now that the Win
ston boys are SO near tho Roanoke man
agemens should not let slip this oppor-
tunity OF having them here.
NOTES.
One thing is evident from Saturdays
game with the Vinton, that several of
the Roanoke players were not in proper
condition to play game of ball.
If the Roanoke baseball club wishes
the support Of the public the members
must be in condition to play the game
as they know how, or they must make
room for others.
Wigmore needs brace in his playing
aswell as Brodie. Their game Saturday
was away below the average.
Hanna is as good a pitcher as Roam
oke ever had and deserves much encour-
agement. lie did we'll Saturday.
Vinton can play our boys very stiff
game; had it not been for Hanna and
some timely batting of few of tue
Roanoke team the score would have
been different.
Hill has nearly recovered from his
recent fall and will play again this
week.
Ford is improving.
Lynchburg is anxious to get at Roam
oke again.
If any ball players arc in the city
they will confer favor on the manage
ment Of tho club by presenting them
selves to the manager or secretary. rs
the Eoanokc's club needs strengthening.
Sproul will be back this week.
One person has lowered himself in
the estimation OF those who saw him
take private bat and the personal
property OF one of the Roanoke players
after the game last Saturday. and it
would be better for him 10 return the
Same to the secret ary OF the club, as he
IS known. II is Il low trick to remove a
bat which he knew was no. the one
taken from Rocky Mount.
