Roanoke Takes Two Games from the
Farmers.

ROANOKE, VA, July 4-(Special.)-
Roanoke made it four straights by win
min both games easily from Petersburg to-
day. The first contest was a comedy OF
errors on the part OF the visitors. ana tho
Mountaineers contalnued to fatten their
batting average. Five hits and three err
rors in the first inning gave them four
runs, and this was lead which the Farm
ers never had any snow TO overcome
Kimball pitched nice game, and the hts
off him were so scattering that only ono
man crossed the rubber.
The second game was more ike ball
playing, but the superior suck-work by
Petersburg could not win with the Wild
pitching OF Kane and the ragged helding
work. The visitors started out as II they
would put CoOns out OF the business,
cracking out FIVE nice singles in the first
inning and earning two runs. Coons was
hit quite freely. though he was steady al
critical points. At no time was the game
really in danger of being lost. The locals
put up a fast game in the field, all OF tine
runs OF the visitors being earned, except
one. which resulted from the single error.

The second game attracted quite the
largest crowd that has assembled at
West-End Park during this season, and
the game was quite the prettiest contest
ever played here. II was spirited from
the start. and every individual member
OF both teams was on his mettle with a
do-or-die air. which would have dore
credit TO the knights OF the sixteenth
century
All went well for inning after Inning.
The ball was continuously kept In motion,
but so brilliant was the field work OF
the men hat no one could score. In the
sixth. however. Tannehill succeeded in
finding stultz for a two-bagger, and, be-
ing sacrificed to third by Kain, went home
on a miserable error made by Leahy.
This set the crowd Wild, and the air
was filed with cries from the rooters.
Their mirth was short-liyed. however.
for in the same inning the Lynchburg
lad sent Pickering over the rubber as a
result OF a most atrocious error made by
Viox. who, in attempting TO throw 70 first,
went wide OF the mark, and scored Pick
ering.
After this the two teams settled down,
and worked as never did teams before.
The seventh. eighth. ninth, tenth. and
eleventh innings rolled past, and no one
could score, though IN tho ninth the
Hueblrds had the bases full and might
have nut one OF their number over the
