ROANOKE WON BOTH GAMES.
The Magicians' New TwirIers
Prove Good Men.
Richmond Hustlors Humbled in the
Dust-TannehilI Hit Hard In the First
0ame-Moores' Wonderful Record In
the second-But Two Hits Secured or
His De'ivery-The Hustlers Shut Out.

The members Of the Roanoke baseball
club covered themselves with glory yes
terday, Not only did they win two
games from she leaders but they shut
them out in the second one in the easiest
possible manner. The homo team tried
their two new ,twirlers and right we'll
did they acquitthemselves In the first
game Williams oficiated and though he
was touched up for thirteen hits he kept
them we'll scattered, except in two in
nings, and showed great GOODNESS at
critical moments. Moores' work in the
second game was wonderful. Not only
did he hold the Hustlers down to two
singles, one OF which was very soratchy,
out ne felded his position we'll and also
showed that he can handle the bat
When the fact is taken into consider
alton that Moores heretofore has pitched
only on amateur seams and never away
from home, his work is all the more re-
markable. He bids fair to become the
star pitcher of the league. At the con-
clusion OF the game he was surrounded
by an enthusiastic crowd OF specta
who cheered him wildly.
The work Of the Magicians in both
games YVES gilt-edged. But one mis-
play marred their record. that being
mutf By Fultz OF q low, hard line drive
on which he had 70 run up. Davie more
than atoned for this error, however, by
making q wonderful catch near the car
rage fenca. He was running 80 fast
when he got the ball that he had to dive
under the railing to keep from hitting
the fence.
Tannehill pitched the first game for
Richmond and was hit safely sixteen
times for total Of twenty-seven bases.
Stabl led in the stick work with three
doubles and single and was closely
followed by Little with home run,
double and single. Csvanaugh hit
safely three times. In fact, everyone
had fun at Mr.. Tannehill's expense but
the battery, WEIGH and Williams.
Roanoke com menced their run getting
in the first and remained in the lead
throughout the game. Sherer hit safely
and was sacrificed to second by Fultz.
Stahl flied out to Groves, but Little put
the ball over the fence for home run,
scoring Sherer ahead Of him. Padden
and Cavansugh also hit safely in this
inning, but neither was able to cross
the rubber The Msgicians again struck
their gait In the third, and added two
more runs to their total. Fultz led off
with single this time and took third
on StAhls double. Little flied out to
Groves and Fultz scored. Stahl went to
third on Padden's out at first and tailed
when Cavanaugh go. In his second hit.
They made three more In the fourth on
dousles by Sherer and S,ahl, base on
balls to Fultz and single by Little.
Stnhl scored the last run for his side In
the sixth on his own double and like
hit by Little.
Richmond had been doing little
scoring in the mean time but they were
having very serious time to bunch
their hits on Williams. They succeeded
in sending a man home in the fourth
when Houseman, Wells and McGowan
singled and Foster was sent to first on
balls. In the sixth after Houseman had
been retired Wells was sent to first on
balls and Foster, McGowan and Berte
hit safely. These. together with fly
out to center, gave them two runs. They
made their last run in the eighth on
Wells single. McGowan's safe drive and
Berte's out at frst. Following is the
score:
