ROANOKE WINS.
They Show tho Bedford City Team How
to Play Ball.

to Play Ball.
Tho Roanoke baseball club treated
tho Bedford Citys to u beautiful coat OF
whitewash yesterday, tho score stand
ing at tho close of tho game, to q.
Tho visitors have been playing great
ball of late and came here flushed with
their recent victories, confident that
they would return homo with another
scalp dangling from their belts. but
there were two things which operated
against the realization OF their dreams,
and these were the magnificent pitch
ing of Boyd and the general fine team
work of the Roanokes.
Although there has been q great deal
of rainy weather of late, the grounds
were IN good condition and when the
game was called at o'clock there were
fully 800 spectators present. Notwith-
| standing this large crowd there was but
Sl9.4S collected and the home team is
out OF pocket sic to cover tho expenses.
The grounds are not fenced in, but
| every one who comes out to witness the
games is supposed to buy a ticket, for
in this way only can Roanoke maintain
| a club.
Game was called shortly after 5
o'clock with Roanoke in the field, and
Messrs. Briggs and Ford officiating as
umpires. Neither side was able to score
until the third inning, when the Roa.
nokes broke the ice. Up to that time
! Lyston had been invulnerable, but hits
| by Sanderson, L. Dolan and Reilly and
base on balls to Wigmore, together
| with a passed ball, gave the home toam
| four runs.
The good work was continued in the
fifth, when, by combination of hits and
errors, two moro runs were ADDED, and
in the seventh the final two were made
| on hit and number of errors.
Tho visitors made six hits but Boyd
kept them we'll scattered and no two
were made in one inning. He struck
out eight men and seemed to take par
ticular delight in downing his old COM
rade, Alex Brodie, who is now captain
of the bedford City team, making him
fan the air three different times. Boyd
was well supported by Sanderson and
in fact the whole team played ball to
win.
The visitors played very loose
fielding game and at critical points be-
came ratified. On one or two occasions
they had the bases filled, but were I'M
able to score. Lyston pitched an excel
lent game and if he had received proper
support the score would have been much
Smaller. Inc score:

THE ELOPEAIENT AT LAST OCCURRED
james w. Hogan and Miss Cora Slaughter
Get Married in Winston.
James w. Hogan, a popular butcher
iii the market house, and Miss ora
Slaughter, the seventeen-y year old dauah-
ter of Lorenzo T. Slaughter, of 6o3 Sec.
ond avenue n. W., were the principals in
q romantic elopment which was happily
terminated in a marriage at Winston, n.
c., yesterday afternoon.
Yesterday morning these young peo-
pie got In buggy and drove to point
on the Roanoke and Southern railroad,
near the Stewart building, boarded the
southern train, thus avoiding any inter
ference that might have been met at the
depot, and started for North Carolina,
where they could BIO married, notwith-
standing parental opposition.
1t will be remembered that few DAYS
ago it was rumored that this young pair
had eloped to Bristol. The young lady's
mother told a reporter last evening that
the only objection offered to this mar.
rage was the extreme youth of the
| bride.
The following telegram to THE TIMES
was received from Winston last night:
James w. Hogan and Miss Cora
! Slaughter were among the passengers
from Roanoke this afternoon. Immed
lately upon their arrival here young
Hogan went to Register Stanton for a
marriage license and said the young
lady was seventeen years of ago. He
did not know the North Carolina law,
and went away sorrowful when told
that he must have the written consent
OF tho young lady's parents. Hs in
formed Miss Slaughter of his troubles
and She solved the problem by telling
him that he was misinformed, and that
She was eighteen. Soon after Rev. II.
a. Brown made them one. The happy
pair will return home tomorrow"
