pulled themselves together and tied the
score, which was 3-3. In the eighth in
ming three more runs were ad cd to
Ninton's score, and in the last half the
home team tied the score again. Lynch
burg was blanked in the ninth, and Vim
ton added two moro runs on base on
balls single and beau iful line drive
by Mclean.
The special features Of the game were
the excellent playing of Thirdbaseman
Reid, of the visitors, and the battery
work Of the Vinton team. Mclean was
especially effective when men were On
the bases. At one time the bases were
filled and the three succeeding batsmen
were struck out by him. The entire

havior and courteous behavior on the

a PROBABLE BALL GAMES.
1t is very probable that there will be
a baseball game here to-day. The Chris
tiansburg club has been trying to ar.
range a game ana they will undoubtedly
be here this afternoon. 1t is to be
hoped that the home team will be ablo
to have the full nine in the field to-day
and il they do the chances are that
Christians burg won't be in it. Hill has
fully recovered from his injuries and
Ford may be able to play. The game
will probably be witnessed by good
crowd if the weather is pleasant
