mines showed marked improvement since
they played here last. Tim West has very
materially strengthened his club. The
batting Is heavier, and the men watch
their points closer. Throughout the game

City boys, and Daniels and Boyd filled the
points for the Goats Warmsley, on the

at times very faulty in his delivery.
Boyd pitches a strong, swift ball, but
Tins pets had no trouble in finding him.

noke. He caromed To Warmsley, who
found II too hot TO handle. and he went
To second. Frech was given his base on
fielders choice. and OHagan started 10
steal third. Then followed some beautiful
ball playing, in which the entire inheld
participated. West and Napier caught
the runner between the two bases, ana
the ball was interchanged several times
until Kahn, who had also gotten in the
play, dropped the sphere and allowed the
runner TO return to second. Kain picked
the sphere up promptly and threw 1t to
Tate. O'Hagan again started TO third,
and this time was caught by Warmsley.

BEGUN THEIR REVENGE.
The Mountain-Climbers got some re-
venge in their half OF this inning, as
they, too, secured five runs. Daniels
went to first on Warmsley's magnanimity.
Goodman made clean two-bagger to left
field fence. and sent Daniels as far as
third on his way home Maginnis was
also given first by charitable Mr.. Warns
ley, thus filling the bases. O'Iiagan made
a hit, which Warmsey stopped. and
while he allowed OHagan 10 run to
first. he threw the sphere 10 Foster, who
killed Daniels's run on the home plate
He Immediately attempted to check
OHagan, but was too late, and the
runner and Tate cOlllded on the bag, the
plg-skin being. for the time lost I'm the
shuttle. While this manoeuvring was IN
progress Goodman came trotting into
home, giving the ROanokes their first
run. Frech was given his base on balls,
and again all of the bases were filed.
Boyd few out TO West, and McHoverter
made a two-bagger. bringing Msginnis
and O'Hagan in. Crocket drove a hot
liner at Tate which that gentleman did
not care TO handle. and Trech and Nc
Hoverter came amblng in. Bosher was
thrown out at first. and retired the side,
leaving Crockett on third.
TATE BEATS THE RECORD.
Neither side scored in the sixth. but in
the seventh the Bloody Shirts" added
three runs to their score. In this In
ming Pop" Tate distinguished himself
McGann started the fun with a base hit.
and then Pop" came to the bat. With
a mighty effort he sent the sphere sail
ing down the foul-line and 1t dropped
gently over the fence There was con-
siderable doubt as TO its being a foul, but
the umpire decided II was and Tate had
TO try again. He was mad, was Pop,
and everybody knew II. He got even,
however. and with a vicious dab he
struck the next bail pitched squarely on
the end of his bat. 1t was evident that
he intended to take no more chances or
having HIS home-run hits called fouls
and the ball sailed over the fence way
down near centre field For a moment a
stiffness almost death-like pervaded the
atmosphere, then the crowd broke forth
In wild shouts, and for several minutes the
neighboring hills fairly trembled with the
echo. When the hero Of the hour trotted
over the plate. preceded by McGann,
loud cries OF speech, speech" were heard
on all sides. West then went out at first.
Morgan made hit and reached third on
a wild throw. and on wild pitch-the
only one made by Boyd-scored. The
home boys made no more runs.
KEPT WELL BALANCED.
In their half of the eighth the Roanokes
made three runs. West made a horrible
error and gave Bosher his base. Daniels
made hit and advanced him TO second.
Goodman then sent the sphere sailing
skywards, and Baby" Phillips made the
catch of his life. He was in centre field
and the ball dropped in left field. When
IL fell. however Baby" was under IL.
and he collared 1t. Maginnis made a
two-base hit and brought In Bosher and
Daniels. OHagan made a single, and
Frech followed with a fly to centre,
which Phillips captured. Boyd was
thrown out at first. and this ended the
game so far as runs were concerned.
La the ninth our boys went down in
one, two three order and the Goats did
likewise, all three men being retired on
flies
Mr.. Clark. who umpired the game. is
an old National League umpire. He has
been engaged by the Virginia League
and is perhaps the best umpire ever seen
here. He not only sees every play made.
and gives his decisions promptly and
clearly. but he keeps order among the
spectators and players. He will not sub
nit TO the slightest protest, and yester-
days game passed of without hitch OF
any kind.
The detailed score is as follows:
