DANv1LLE, VA. April 21.-Amid tho
plaudits OF several thousand enthusi-
astlc fans, tho first game Of the Vlr-
ginia Baseball League on the local
grounds was played this afternoon, re-
sulting in the Tobacconists retrieving
their defeat yesterday in Lynchburg.
The home team had the better OF the
proposition almost at every stage. but
despite this, however. the contest was
characterized at times by phenomenal
and brilliant playing. the Hill Climbers
pulling off fast double play. which
might really be called triple play. 1t
was due to the swift and timely action
Of Catcher Westlake, who caught IA
tip foul. throwing a runner out who
had just left first base. The third out was
executed by catching a man at home
plate, who tried to score from third
base on the play.
Pitcher Kline. for the visitors, was
clearly out of form. and was very Wild.
When he did send the ball across the
plate the LOCALS landed on him good and
hard at critical stages. Walsh. who
was on the firing line for the locals.
and who recently came back from the
chicago Nationals was in good form
er and Stafford carried off the batting
honors for Danville, while Jack An
thony did the stick work for the visit
ors. Raley, first baseman for the Hill
Climbers, and Reggy at shortstop for
Danville. We're on to their Jobs at
every stage. Mayor Harry Wooding
made the opening speech of the sea-
son here and tossed the first ball over
| the plate
