The Lynchburg correspondent III
the Richmond Times has the following
to say of the baseball game played in
in that city on last Thursday:
One Of the closest and most exciting
games Of baseball seen in Lynchburg
for many day was played here this
afternoon by the teams of Washington
| and Lee University and the University
Of Virginia.
In the first inning the boys from
Charlottesville made three runs, leading
Washington and Lee by two points.
The Lexingtonians, however, we're
not discouraged, and throughout the
game fought plucky, uphill fight.
At the opening of the ninth inning
it looked hopeless for Washington and
Lee,for the University had nine runs,a
lead OF six points. Washington and
Lee, however went to work and batted
out FIVE runs and when the game closed
they had two men on bases. There
were several exceedingly close decisions
by the umpire, and each Que of them
was against the Lexington boys.
Washington and Lee men claim that
had one or two Of these decisions been
oth erwise they would have captured
the game.
Be hat as it may, the game was
well played by both sides, aud was
creditabls to the athletics of both
institutions.
