ROANOKE, VA, Aug. lS.-Roancke

an accident mainly. and through their in
ability TO hit Foreman. incidentally.
The accident happened in the seventh
inning. The score was then tie, ana
two OF the White-Stockings had been re
tired. Sanford and Kelly were on third
and second respectively, when STAFFORD
knocked an easy grounder TO Ellis. Just
it bounded over his head and rolled into
right field. Sanford and Kelly scoring.
That bound was purely accidental and
il lost the game for the home team. Had
Ellis been able TO have gotten the ball
il would have made the third man out.
and the runs would not have counted.
AS Roanoke Tailed in the eighth this
would have given them the lend; but
fate decreed otherwise. Myers was the
next batter. and his single sent Stafford
in. Then Pender caught an easy one and
lifted 1t sailing over the left-Aed fence
for a home run. Five runs had been
scored. and the game was lost.
The Machine Works band and a large
crowd Of roOters were on hand TO cheer
the home boys on TO victory, but the
bands sweetest strains and the ladies
brightest smiles were thrown away.
There was q stumbling block in Roam

he was very wild he was also very
