who attended were treated to
best and most exciting game ever

end of the ninth the score stand

visitors were shut out while the
Virginia's scored with no outs.
The Sunday game was wit
messed by much larger crowd,

by members of the home team
the game was practically devoid
of interesting features At the
end Of the ninth the score show

forms of speech as we'll as in
their ball playing. The sterner
sex in this vigorous cline may

respect for womankind should
prohibit such language as was
freely indulged in by several
members of the visiting club dur.
