with the score three to one against
them, and two men out, the Magicisns
developed streak Of batting in the
eighth inning Of yesterdays game. and
before the fireworks ceased four runners
chased across the rubber, gaining a lead
the visitors were unable to overcome.
Lloyd and Tannehill were the oppos-
ing pitchers. Both did good work, al
though Lloyd was much steadier when
men were on tho bases. He was also
more successful in keeping the hits
scattered, the fourth being the only in.
ming the visitors got more than one.
Tannehill allowed two in the first,
whereby Roanoke secured her first tally,
and the eighth witnessed the fusilade
that lost him the game.
Stahl tailed the first run for Roanoke
in the first inning. He led off with a
safe hit, stole to second, assisted by
Berte's drop of the thrown ball, and
Tailed on Padden's safe drive. Dick
was doubled up by Little's line drive to
Houseman.
The visitors com menced to score In
the second. Wells drew base on balls,
went to third when Viox allowed the
osil 20 pass him and then threw wildly
to second, and came home when Stahl
dropped Fosters easy fly to left field.
The error placed Foster on second.
whence he scored on Berte's single.
Their lead WAS increased by one run in
the fourth. McGowan scratched a hit
past PAdden, reached second on a passed
ball, stole third and came home on
X aims lucky two Dagger TO right field.
And thereafter Lloyd threw all sorts of
balls at them In such bewildering
fashion that they failed to secure more
than lonely two-bsgger in tho ninth.
After securing their solitary tally in
the nrst the locals failed to mako the
circuit again for six innings, going out
with such painful regularity that the
most hopeful roosers began to loso
heart. Now and then batsman would
poke out safe his, only to DO left on
base. In the eighth, Breeu led off by
working Tannehill for base on balls.
Lloyd and Stahl brought the clouds
lower down by striking out. Then
Sherer sot the ball rolling by sending
one over Dinsmore into deep right field
for two bags, scoring Breen. Padden
drove out beauty 10 center, sending
Sherer home with the tying run. Pad
den stole second and Tailed when
Houseman dropped Titles high fly.
The big Businessman went to second
on the error and hied himself home
when Bradley sent grounder to House,
man which that player found TOO hot to
handle. Cavanaugh followed with
pretty single, and there is no telling
when the hitting would have stopped
had not Bradley run over the second
bag and been retired by Ksin's quick
return OF the ball. The score was now
five to three in Rosnoke's favor, and
the flock OF Blue Birds that had hut-
tered about in such lively style earlier
in the game had not ginger enough left
to emit feeble chirp.
While the game was not free from errors
1t was close and exciting enough at all
stages to keep the interest OF fever
heat, and the lively streak of hitting in
the eighth gave the rooters the desired
opportunity to cheer themselves hoarse.
The defeat OF Petersburg by Norfolk
yesterday gives the Magicians the
chance to mount into fifth place to-day
II they can administer another defeat to
Wells pets.
