The first game with V. p. 1. was a
hard one for the Yellow Jackets TO
lose. as it looked safe in the eighth,
with a four-ruu lead. but tho home
team had II fine rally and beat the Wis
itors out by the close score OF II to II.
RaUlolp Macon gacnered seventeen
hits off Y. Z. T., while the latter was
only able to hit Furgcrson for four
teen The field was wet and was re-
sponsjblc for the large number of hits
and runs.
The second game with the Blacks
burg nine resulted in 4 shutout to the
credit of the Ashlaudcrs. Brown
pitched steady game for Randolph
Macon and was we'll supported. The
seven runs gotten in this game were
largely due 10 the base running Of
Riess's men, who pulled off two double
steals ana several times went from
first TO third on bunt to first base.

yellow Jackets who walked away with
