BRANCHvILLE, August 5.-BranchVllle
had the fortune of meeting Orangeburg
on their grounds last Tuesday and played
a hot aud exciting game oftwelve innings.
The game was interesting and encourag-
ing for Branchville in the beginning, but
the benefit of close decisions given to the
home team discouraged our boys some
what. Sorentrue, for Orangeburg, was
knocked out in the fourth inning, and
Glaze was substituted, who kept down
the scores. A series of five games will be
PLAYED, and Branchville will endeavor to
win the majority. Fairey was in fine
trim and pitched an excellent game.
Score by innings:
Branchville, 1904 100000 o.
Orangeburg, 0l041 001 000 1-s
Batteries: Orangeburg, Sorentrue,
Glaze and Hydrick; Branchville, Fairey
and Pearlstine Umpire-Mr. Jno. Fairey.
Thursday the boys went to St. George
with the intention of "wiping them up"
but when their pride "Hac" Walker, was
placed in the box, our boys became ner-
vous. He struck out the first three men
that came up to the plate, but the boys
finally succeeded in crossing five men.
This was an ideal game, rs the score will
show, and Branchville did not make an
error. The features of the game were the
magnificent pitching of Walker for
Georges, and the superb catching of ditti-
cult balls in left field for Branchville.
Score by innings:
St. George 800 Q 0 %
Branchyille 90 3 OO1 0 x-5
Batteries: St. George, Walker and

Your correspondent has received the
following letter from the University OF
Virginia. II write to make the personal
appeal that you will use every effort at
your command to induce some one to
come to the University who might other
wise be lost to u.s. You have been here,
are familiar with the life of the student,
and have no doubt can speak with en-
thusiasm of the University of Virginia.
You know also the honest work that is
being done here. You know the stand
ing Of our graduates. If each of our boys
of last year would do his best to induce
someone else to come to this institution
the ensuing session, our numbers would
be materially increased. Let me hear
from you on receipt Of this, send me any
names of prospective students, and under
stand that I charge you with the duty
to your Alma Mater of bringing at least
one new student with you when you re-
turn. P. S. The recent rains have brought
out the new athletic field until it is a
beauty. The new running track has been
| graded, and the fence, solid white OAK
structure, is almost completed" :"
