Tuesdays Roanoke Times: The
V. NJ. i. team came back" in great
style Yesterday and humbled the V.
p. l. nine by the decisive score Of 7
to 3. The victory was due to one
Red Moore, pitcher who moved
down the Techs about as fast as
they could como up 10 the plate.
The authenticated youth struck out
ten of the Blacks burg sluggers and
at the bat he led his team, getting
three nifty bingles which came at
most opportune times and were of
considerable Importance in deter
mining the final result.
V. NJ. |. won the game because V.
p. L. could offer no pitching to stop
them, while Moore for V. Nj. l. was
invincible and was never solved by
the Techs. The V. NJ. l. attack
was more dangerous than that of V.
P. l., and finally the Blacksburg
defense crumpled and gave up, al
lowing the Lexington team to finish
the game almost in a walk.over.
The V. NJ. |. team showed lots OF
fight and determination yesterday
and looked very good. With Moore
10 pitch. the team will yet make a
creditable showing for the season,
in spite OF bad start.

Sundays LynchburR News: At
the Fair Grounds yesterday after

sustained crushing defeat at the
hands Of it's old rival, Virginia Poly
technic Institute, when the latter
buried the Lexington cadets under
an avalanche OF runs in seven and a
half innings, the final score being
Is 10 3. Throckmorton's ineffective
work, loose and ragged fielding be-
hind him, and heavy hitting by the
Techs, were the contributing ele-
ments which figured in the slaugh-
ter.
Viewing the game in retrospect,
it was embarrassing as far as V. Nj,
l. was concerned, and after the fifth
inning. when the score stood twelve
to two, the portion of the grandstand
occupied by,V. NJ. l. rOoters began to
bear an appearance of vacancy and
many left the grounds disappointed
at the poor showing Of their favor

team put up q miserable game, and

has received about 300 applications
for seed corn and nearly as many APP

applicant gets 600 kernels of corn or
twelve potatoes as they may request.
First 600 kernels of corn were labor
iously counted out and then the
quantity measured.
Field Deputies Mary Cusator and
Eva Dunstan have been busy for some
time distributing the seed. Miss Gus

districts come in for their supplies.
That the work is going to be pro-

the large number of applications and
the interest in the work. This year
over 500 applications have been re-
ceived for seed as against 1919 last
year. Some thirty bushels of Early
Ohio potatoes have been used for
seed and two bushels of Minnesota
