ANOTHER VICTORY.
Allegheny vanquished the Team
From BIaCksburg.

Three cheers for Alleghanyl Again
victory perches upon her banners. They
didn't do ii thing but bat V. p. Us great
big pitcher, Stark, out of the box. The
big man again and again, making his
peculiarly puzZling motions, would bring
all his great might to bear in giving
speed to the ball. But all in vain. Out
into he field the sphere would almost in
variably sail propelled by lusty stroke
from an Allegheny lat. The Biucksburg
boys have had up to yesterdays game an
unbroken record. Last week they defeat
ed Randolph. Macon Academy, ,Belleview
High School and the Lynchburg anna
tours. But they were not in the game at
all with Allegheny at any stage. Up to
the fifth inning not IL man completed the
circuit, while Allegheny scol ed eight
runs. There were n large crowd of root
ers present, but there was nothing like
the enthusiasm of last Thursdays game
with st. Adams. The military lads were
outplayed at every point. The catcher
couldn't throw and consequently the
home team had ten stolen bases to their
credit
The features of the game were the
pitching CT Withers, batting of Duke, the
fielding of Ballentyne for Allegheny, and
the foul fly catch of Harrison and the
fielding of Herbert for V. P. L.
Quite large crowd had assembled by
o'clock, including several visitors from
Hollins, Salem and St. Adams Most of
the ladies wore crimson and blue, though
V. p. l. was not lacking for supporters.
The oame was n little late in beginning,
as the Blacksburg men did not arrive un-
til 4:1o from Lynchburg. AS soon as they
arrived, however, they came At once to
the field and after " few minutes of prac-

Allegheny started at the bar. Boston,
the first man p,got'to first, stole second,
passed bail. Then the side was retired.
The visitors then took n turn. They
couldn't make out the position OF the ball
with sufficient certainty as it was whirled
and twirled rapidly over the plate by Mr..
Witbers. Not II man reached the first
bag. Allegheny comes up and by good
batting and base running, assisted by
some Blacksburg errors, score three runs
The visitors still fail to find the ball.
But the home team, assisted by wild
throws, muffs, and some good work with
the stick, In the third, makes four runs.
The military men, however, broke the
monotony in the fifth and made three
runs, also assisted by errors. In the sixth
Allegheny makes one and in the eighth
two. In the eighth the V. p. l. makes
two and in the ninth one. PitcherWithers
