The Roanoke times. [volume] (Roanoke, Va.) 1890-1895, 1894-04-15

Yesterday was an ideal day for play.
rng baseball aud the Roanokes took ad-
vantage of 1t. They were pitted against
team composed of employees Of the
Roanoke Machine Works and thew
dall;ed with them as cat does with a
poor little defenseless mouse
The Roanokes loaned their opponents
Nevins and Daniel to do the battery
work but Nevins did not exert himself.
he merely tossed the ball over the plate
ana did not seem to care whether the
other side made base hits or not. At
times, however, ne let himself out and
then the batsmen could do nothing with
him.
Holbrook pitched good game for the
league team. He had excellent com
mand OF the ball and allowed the Ma
ohtNe works men to make but FIVE hits.
But the feature Of the game was the
hrst base work OF Crookes. He PLAYED
like Trojan. No balls were thrown so
wild but what he got them, and he
fielSed his position in an excellent man
ner.
McHooveter held down second bag
and played we'll. as in fact did all the
mem osrs OF tho team. In tho eighth
inning Captain O'Hagan went in to
pitch and tho manner in which he put
tho oalls over tho plate was a complete
puzzle TO the other side Not hit was
made off his delivery and besides no
helded his position in good shape.
O'Hagan is undou btediy ono OF the star
players of tho league and will help Roa-
noke to win many victory this summer.
