4 MISERABLE GAME.
Honnokc Loses Another to Norfoii>-
Individual Playing.

ROANOKE, VA, June l"-'speclaN'-
Roanoke succeeded in losing an
other gam to-day, and as their
onnonents we're the Norfolks they
are accordingly that much nearer the
bottom OF the list. The home team play
cd a miserable game in the field and also
displayed poor judgment in base running.
In fact. the work they are doing on the
bases is one OF the many causes that mas
led TO their meeting so many defeats
Another point i'm which Roanoke is weak
is team work. The men all play individual
ball. and seem TO have no idea that they
are expected 10 do such thing as play
together. Then, again, neither CaVa-
naugh nor Padden cover second bas. when
that bag Is occupied by a runner. ard the
runner gets big start and is able TO
score on a short hit.

THE LESS SAID THE BETTER.

These are some OF the points in which
Roanoke needs strengthening. That was
demonstrated by to-day's game. As for
the alleged contest to-day. the less said
about il the better. Gaftney. who was in
the box for the home team. was peaches
and pie for the visitors and they knocked
him out OF the box IN the second inning.
Roanoke made four errors in those two
innings. but the CLANS hit the ball. Then
Mccain was brought in TO pitch, and his
work was very refreshing after the exhi-
bltion given by Gaffney. He allowed but
three hits 10 be made off him. and had he
received proper support the Norfolks
would not have scored. The feature Of
the game was a one-handed catch Of

free Tuition.

The last legislature passed two laws re-
lating to High schools, which will greatly
assist pupils living outside the village
limits to procure an academic education
at no expense to themselves for tuition.
This law provides for the maintenance
of High school in towns having $500 in
habitants, the school to be kept not less
than thirty-three weeks in year, exclu-
sive OF vacations, and at srch convenient
place as the legal voters may determine
upon. The instruction shall be such as
will properly fit student to enter eithel
OF the colleges in the state.
A town having an incorporated graded
school or academy which gives the re-
quired instruction, is obliged to pay a
reasonable sum as tuition for all scholars
resident in the town districts whose prof.
cheney will permit Of their taking the
higher studies. A few pupils living out
side the graded school district have, since
the passage OF the law, availed themselves
OF the free tuition thus offered, but the
majority seem to be ignorant OF the pro-
vision so wisely made.
When no schools OF the higher grades
exist in town, then the board OF school
directors shall pay the tuition OF the pu-
pills desiring advanced instruction IN the
schools OF some other town, or provide
a suitable graded school within their own
boundaries. Until the Snowsville acade.
my. agitated at the last town meeting in
Braintree, becomes an established fact,
the West Randolph Graded and High
school will continue to offer unrivaled in
ducements to the eager seekers after
knowledge
