Alss Do Good Batting.

NORFOLK, juno 1.-The big crowd
that Witnessed the Roanoke-N Norfolk
game at League Park today had the
full worth Of their money. as the game,
which was called al the end of the
twelfth inning on account of darkness,
was the prettiest and most exciting one
seen here In years. McHooveter, Of the
visitors, opened up the run getting by
lifting the ball over the center field
fence, and two scores resulted.
Norfolk had lead OF two runs at the
end OF her half OF the ninth inning
when Roanoke, by Ransom's error and
Elsey dropping high fly in the centre
field, tied the score. 1t was now a fight
to finish and both clubs were battling
as IL their lives depended on 1t. Roa-
noke had man as far as third base
after the ninth, but Gro ,kett's high fly
to Hager ended the inning
Ed Herr was the twirler for the home
team and it can be said that he pitched
out some OF Roanoke's best hitters he
felded we'll and batted exoellently.
Hager, the new player, acquitted him
self handsomely, and when he stepped
to the bat for the first time and struck
out groan went up for the new arrival,
but Hager showed the spectators OF
what kind Of stuff he was and raped
the ball to center field fence for two
bases besides sending a runner in
Something is wrong with McCreery. He
has forgotten how to bat, as he punches
out neatly every time. Hodge, behind
the bat, was all over the field, and his
equal ia hard to find. Norfolk proved
to-day that she can play ball when she
wants to and tho boys should keep up
the good work.
For the visitors Mccoy pitched a
steady gRme and, aside from q few errors,
he was given good support IA usual,
McHooveter made home run, bringing

not blameless in dealing with the ques-

and declared that in every panic the
country, despite this prohibitory tax

the best and most direc. method Of
