A FEW FLIES.
Umpire Cline oficiated at yesterdays
game here. and. by his evident i'm
partially and maintenance OF order he
made q good impression upon all the
players. He asserted himself In the first
inning. when he sat down upon one OF
the players. who was on the coaching
lines. and told him that he was fully
competent to umpire the game unas-
sisted.
Old Scissors, with a blast from his
trumpet made his advent on the grounds
iust before the game commenced, and
was loudly applauded.
Wells broke his bat in the game yester-
day. and half of II flew down to the
pitchers box, narrowly missing Coon's
head.
The determination Of Jake Wells to keep
the field clear during the game was
rigidy adhered to yesterday, and should
be adhered TO equally as rigidly in the
future. There was absolutely no inter-
ference with the players.
The diamond Is now In perfect ORDER
and the out-1eld Is comparatively smooth.
Cliff Groves was presented with beau-
tiful bouquet when he came to the bat In
the fourth inning.
Kain's long run after high foul fly
was one of the features of the game.
Wells did quick work, when ne made the
double play, throwing the bah to Berte
with great rapidity.
Kain stole third base by one OF the
cleverest slides he has ever made. He
seemed almost to fly through the air.
Wells will pitch Ames this afternoon,
and Chesbro will toss for Roanoke.

First Game.

LYNCHBURG. VA, April l6.-Special.)
The State League season opened here
to-day with Petersburg and Lynchburg
facing each other in the ball arena. 1t
was beautiful baseball weather and the
cranks congregated in large numbers TO
witness what proved to be an intensely
interesting contest, resulting In the defeat
of the Cockade City boys by the score
of 10 3.
Petersburg had her crack pitcher,
Quarles. I'm the box. and went In with
determination to win; and IL looked I'm the
first three innings as II they would ac
complish their purpose. But the Hi City
sluggers (and they are batsmen, every
man of them) soon got on 10 Quarles, and
by timely hitting won an apparently easy
victory.
Boyian pitched an excellent game for
Lynchburg. keeping his hits well scat
tered. There were no sensational fea-
lures. Petersburg was confident OF victory
and took their defeat hard.
Following is the score in detail:
