CROWS SHUT OUT.
A GREAT GAME OF BALL THAT IN Pc.
TER'S TOWN YESTERDAY.
Rooters from All Points Pleased-Leach Ac
compIishes Feat without Prece.
dent-Farmer's Score, 2.

PETERSBURG. VA. July Sl.-(spe-
ctal)-By far the best game OF ball that
has been played since the organization of
the Virginia State League was played here
this afternoon between the Crows and the
Farmers. and the rooters on both sides
expressed themselves as thoroughly well
pleased with the game. although the one
hundred or more rooters from the City
on the James would have been happier II
the game had ended otherwise.
Kid Keenan, and Leach were in the box
for their respective teams, and while both
did well, Leach pitched the game OF his
life. holding thu Crows down to two sim
gle hits. one of them being a scratch,
and not allowing a single batsman his
base on balls. Ills work at the bat was
also first-class, he being responsible for
both Of the runs made by the Farmers.
His support was perfect, not an error be-
ing charged to the Farmers. keenan,
kept the hits scattered. and while he was
hit for seven singles. two-bagger. and a
home run, they were at such long inter-
walls as not TO amount TO anything. His
support was also good. the only errors be-
ing made by Kain and Tate. and they did
not amount 10 anything.
NOTHING TILL THE SIXTH.
Neither side scored until the sixth In
ming, when Sanford got first on Kain'
error in trying 10 make a double play;
went TO third on Kelley's two-bagger. and
came home on Leach's long fly 10 centre
field which was captured by Gettenger
after long run. In the ninth Leach
knocked the ball over the fence for
home run, and the last and only earned
run Of the game was made.
This Is the first time that the Crows
have been shut out this season. and the
Farmers are elated in having admins
tered the discipline to them Besides this
Leach accomplished the feat OF only al
lowing twenty-seven men TO come to the
bat and retiring all twenty-seven Of them
a feat never before accomplished by any
other club in the United States.
