YESTERDAYS GAME.
1t Was Won by the Cracks From
Staunton.

1ne hOanOke AInletlc Club lost It's
frat game of the season on the home
grounds yesterday after 1t had a com.
handing lead. The boys had bad case
OF rattles in the third and fourth in
nings. The game opened up as IL the
home team were going to have a walk
over, but it is always the unexpected
thai happens in baseball. In the first
inning Wigmore led off with a hit and
went to second on Scherer's drop of
Brodie's high fly. Each were advanced
base on a passed ball and on Viaux's
drop of McGipnesS' third strike Brodie
was put out on second.
Meade and Foster each followed with
safe hits bringing in three runs. The
only other run the home team made was
in the third inning when Meade came
home from second base on passed ball
This ended the un-getting as far as the
r. A. G. were concerned, although they
had several opportunities but none Of
batters were equal to the emergency
The Steunton team did not commence
to score until the third inning when, by
the aid OF a hit and several errors, they
made two runs. In the fourth inning
the home team went to pieces and al.
lowed Staunton to make four runs on
the rRnkest kind Of errors. And right
here 1t Is not amiss to say that the con.
duct OF two of the home players quar-.
reling with each other should be stopped
by the captain, as it has tendency to
demoralize the rest of the team.
Boyd went in the box in the fifth
inning, but it WAS too late tossave the
game. In the five innings he pitched
there were only two hits made off hi n.
The Stauntons made two more runs in
the sixth inning by the aid of several
made in the ninth inning by wild
throw, steal and two sacrifice hits.
The game WAS very interesting from
start to finish, and should have been
won by the Athletic boys. In this
afternoons game the home team will
strive very hard to redeem themselves
and will have Boyd in the box with
Wright at the receiving end. For
Stanton Fry and Tenley will oficiate.
The Staunton team put up the best
game of ball seen here this season and
are confident Of making it two straight
games. The game will be called
promptly at 4:30 this evening and
large crowd is expected to be present.
Following is the score by innings:
