Three Straight to Observation-Disclosures,
League Scores.

The second week of the Virginia
League season closed yesterday with
out slight changes in the relative stand
ing OF the clubs during the week.
Richmond is still first, with a good
margin. Lynchburg, by losing four out
OF six games, has fallen from second to
third place. Portsmouth. taking pre-.
cedence OF her by winning three out OF
i've games played. Norfolk holds on to
fourth place. although she has dropped
four out OF six games, Roanoke contin-
uing to lose and Petersburg being too
far behind to catch up.s' The Champion
team lost every game played the first
week, but struck her gait on Tuesday
and has won four out OF five games
from Portsmouth and Petersburg,
emerging from last into fifth place and
leaving our Magicians to trail along in
the rear Of the procession.
Roanoke has surely suffered ".he
sings and arrows of outrageous for
tune" losing five games out Of six after
playing ball that has called forth eulo.
CYSTIC comm emit from the press OF Nor
iolk as being far superior to the per-
iormance of either OF the opposing
teams. The pitchers are doing excel
lent work, only needing an experienced
catcher to steady them at critical times.
Inc batting OF the men has improved,
anu In every game they have made a
greater total OF hits than their oppo-
nents. That the element OF luck enters
into the game OF baseball will not be
gainsaid by anyone who will examine
carefully the scores of the games in
which Roanoke has figured during the
past week.
Portsmouth, IL; Roanoke, Z.
PORTSMOUTH, Va, April 27.-Roanoke
lost to-day's game for the good and SUI
hcient reason that they made bad errors
at critical times and presented Pop
Tate's brigade with eleven unearned
runs. Ssahl started in to pitch, but
was hit in every inning but the fifth.
In the seventh he gave way to Gaffney
who pitched the game out, allowing but
two hits. Stahl showed up better in the
batsmen's box than in the pitchers,
keeping up tho record of ,three hits q
game that he has been making for the
past four games: Bradley Is also get.
ting his eye on the ball, leading his
side with q double and two singles.
The game was delayed for half an hour
10 allow the management to get the
grounds in fit playing condition after
heavy shower this afternoon. The
result WAS wet ball and inability OF
the folders to get around after batted
balls as rapidly as usual, thus swelling
the hit record of each side to some ex-
tent and also accounting for at least
three of the errors made by the visitors.

EPINAL, France. April 27.-The great
bouzey Dyke. of the Epinal district of
the Voges, burst at o'clock this morn.
ing The cubic area Of the dyke is
100000 meters. A rush OF waters and
much loss Of life followed. 1t is impos.
siole to get correct estimate of the
damage done or OF the number OF lives
iost, out from the number OF bodies al
reaoy found, thirtyseight in q /, indica-
tlons are that the loss of life will be
very heavy.
Enormous damage has been done In
the surrounding country. The railways
IN all directions are interrupted and a
large number Of villages are entirely
hooded In some places the force of the
torrent let loose by the break in tho
oyke was so great that entire houses
were swept away and large trees were
torn up BY the roots. The reservoir was
situated close to the village OF the
Bouzey and the breach caused by the
rush OF water Is over 100 metres broad.
The authorities are doing everything
possible to rescue impsriled persons.
Many families are still in danger. The
authorities are also taking stops to pro
vide relief for the homeless. Assist.
