any other engagements for this season.
This il due chiefly to the fact that the
owner OF the Academy grounds has
plowed them up. and the boys have no
other practice grounds available. This
team has been uncoI quered during this
season, having won two straight games
from Fredericksburg and one from the
strong Warsaw team. During the last

team has crossed bats with Warsaw
nine times, four OF these being at
Warsaw. two at Tsppahannock, two at
Bowling Green and one In Frederieks-
burg, having won seven OF these nine
games, lost one and tied one. The Bow
