Ahe Tobacconists Were Unable to Hit FRY

noAe Had No Trouble In Solving Ames'
Deiivery-Padden's Fielding and viox's
Batting Were the Features.

After being buffeted about in a
strange land, at the mercy of incom-
petent and unjust umpires, since the
2lss OF last month, the Magicisns
showed up at Athletic Park Yesterday
AFTERNOON none the worse for their
rough voyage. True, the men were
worn out, having played five games in
three days in Peters burg. beside riding
all night. 1t was the original idea to
havo played two games yesterday, but
this was abandoned, and 1t wss also de.
clded to play but one game to-day. The
"eatnef IS too hot for more than that.
Inere were two separate and dlstinct
features in yesterdays game outside of
tho playing. Ona was the umplring of
brennan, which MAS as good as any seen
hero this season. Not u kick WAS made
on either side to mar the pleasure of
the contest. The other feature WAS the
weird, wild, discordant noise made BY
ABOUT $50 nondescript instruments OF
torture which were given away as an
AoVerelsement OF certain brand of
cigarettes The article in question COM
sisss Oh piece OF wood to which short
string Is attached. Ga the other end of
the string is q small wooden ball. Tho
noise is produced by shaking the wooden
handle and letting the bali hit against
H. AS refined mode of torture It has
no equal and the company that produced
IL would be getting off easy In having
their cigarettes boycoeted.
AS for the game itself both teams did
good work in the field, though strange
TO gay Ro.nokes outfield lad not a sim
gle chance. Padden and Fry made all
the errors for the home team, bus the
former more than asoned for his mis-
plays by making mum Der of sensa
iional stops and throws. His fielding
and tho batting of Vlox were the fen
lures.
Fry WAS in the box for Roanoke, and
as far as pitching went did we'll, but hs
neioea is position very poorly, and all
OF tho runs made by the visitors woro
oirectiy due to his misplays. Amos
oihclaled for Lynchbu7g, and he was
touched up at Z lively rate. viz ga
cured two triples, q double and a single,
and every one else hit him safely at
least once, except Stahl and Padden.
BON sides made two runs in the first
and errors were responsible for them.
tor Roanoke Sherer was An easy out,
put Fultz hit for two bases. he went to
third on Ssnhia out at frat and came
home when Leshy made wild throw
OF Listle's grounder, which he had
stopped In a beautiful manner. Padden
was given pasa to first on balls and
Csvanaugh came along with q single,
ecoring Little. Captain Dick was
thrown out trying to tally on the hit.
For LYnchburg Berryhill led off with
scratch hit. Leahy hunted to Fry,
who made q three base throw over
Little's head. Berryhill scored and
Leahy went to third. He came in when
Padden let Plock's grounder get away
from him. The visisors' last run was
made in the sixth. Plock was hit by q
pitched hall. went to second on passed
ball, to third on Fry's wild throw to
catch him mapping and home on Fer
guson's out at first
Roanoke scored one in the second on
Viox's triple and Fry's single. A base
on balls TO Cavansugh, Viox's triple
and Fry's out to Ferguson gave them
two moro In the sixth. In the eighth
doubles by Oavanaugh and Vlox, a base
on balls to Welch and Fry's out at first
added two more to their total. After
two men were out In the ninth the loo ala
pounded out three runs, assisted BY O.
couple of bases on balls. Following is
the score:
