the evil thereof" So in view OF the
correctness of this old but applica bic
quotation, The Nirgininn takes pleasure
in giving Pitcher Boylan due credit for
his brilliant performance. Superb field
ing At what the Lynchburg team should
lie and are credited with Not n mis-
play occurring TO mar their side of the
game, and the boys were putting IN
such strong game, that balls which
atney could not reach with their hand
athey would kick, and then the sphere
would move In the proper direction In
Anne to cut down Il Granger.
IS Now, glance at the other side of the
question. and let us see what a con-
ttrast there was between the timely hit
ting and perfect team work of the visl-
tors and the Portsmouths. Leach. who
did the shooting Fem over" for the home
club. was fairly steady and had very
good speed, but, pshaw! that cut no
hgure with the Hill Climbers, for they
got twelve hits off him, and got them
Just when they needed them, too.
.Then, to make matters worse. the
team which usually plays fairly steady
game went absolutely to pieces In the
most important positions, and never
even gave Pitcher Leach the least
shadow of support, and as for hitting,
think OF seven little scattering hits. and
then glance at the number of put outs
Jimmy Little is credited with, as well
as the number of assists opposite the
names or Mccain. Dolan and Lehay,
and you will then understand what a
snag the Portsmouths struck in Boylan.
The home team earned one run In the
ninth on hits by Leach and Rollins. and
put Tor the wildness of the gentleman
who filled the box for Lynchburg in the
iirst inning. that one run is probably all
they would have gotten. There is no
question but with the luck and the

or elsewhere would have gone down un-
