terday afternoon, but they failed to
accomplish the desired result; Luck
and tie umpire were both against the
home team, and the Hill Climbers made
it two out of three.
Roanoke played good fielding game,
three of their five errors being excus-
able. Violet, Crockett, Ellis and Fitz-
morris put up particularly good game,
while Maginnis made difficult running
catch back Of second base.
In the fifth inning Roanoke made
peculiar double play and one that neces-
STATED quick handling of the ball. 1t
happened as follows: Elsey was given
his base on balls. Leahy, tho next
batter, sent hot grounder to Violet.
The latter handled it cleanly and sent
the ball to Crockett, retiring Leahy.
Elsey had started for second as soon as
the sphere was hit. Crockett threw to
Ellis to catch him, but by that time the
runner was on his way to third. Fitz-
morris ran to that bag and Ellis lined
the ball to him just in time to cath
Elsey. 1t was great play and was lib
orally applauded.
Mccoy was touched up for ten hits,
with a total of seventeen bases. The
visitors punched their hits In the second
and earned three runs. Both Childs
and Fi,zmorris made home runs. The
latter's hit was the longest ever made
on the home grounds, the ball rolling to
tho extreme left field corner.
Anderson proved STUN bling block to
the local batsmen. They secured but
seven hits off of him and were unable 10
bunch them except in the fifth when he
was touched up for three singles. Ellis
and Fitzmorris, two ex Lynchburgers,
got in two hits apiece.
Lynchburg played a loose game in the
field, Moran especially distinguishing
himself with two wild throws, but they
made up for this by their stick work
Childs backed ANDERSON up in excellent
style, and also found Mccoy for home
run and q double.
