RIM. ACADEMY
HAS GOOD RECORD
WINS THIRTEEN OUT OF F1F-
TEEN GAMES. DEFEATING
MANY COLLEGE TEAMS.

Especial to The Richmond Virginian.)
BEDFORD CITY, May 17.-Ran-
dolph- Macon academy has just closed
one of the most successful baseball
seasons in the history of the school.
During the past season the academy
played fifteen games, suffering only
two defeats and added a total OF thir-.
teen victorieS to her credit The two
defeats were received at the hands OF
Eastern college and Randolph Macon
college. two of the strongest teams
in the State. Owing to the small
guarantee offered by several Of the
prominent preparatory schools OF the
State the academy was unable to meet
them. consequently in order to NIL out
the schedule a number OF college
games were taken in addition to the
prep school games. The academy
team proved itself thoroughly capable
of making the games interesting for
the colleges. having won four out OF
six college games
The team wor. from the best anna
teur team in Lynchbnrg. the O. r. x.
team. In fast ten-inhirig game. The.
team also won out from the best anna.
teur team in Roanoke, the Tigers.
who won the pennant in the amateur
city league there last season. In
every game with preparatory schools
the academy was the victor.
This record would fncite sorne en-
thusiasts to claim the State chAxu-4
pionship IN baseball over the rest Of
the prep schools OF this State. But II.
seems rather absurd for any prep
school to lay claim to championship
In any kind of athletics. since there
are so many schools in that class that
never meet each other to- contest I'm
any form of athletics whatever; still
every year there are several claims t0a

BY HARRY TUCKER.

0ld-timers and some younger
ardent fans said yesterday that il the
day had been propitious the Colts
would have defeated the pennant-
chasing Tigers from Roanoke. instead
of losing by to . score.
AS a matter of fact, the Colts are
no better warm day players than any
other club in the league. and it may
have been had 1t been clear and
seasonable day. that the Tigers score
might have scared farther toward the
empyrean than it did.
From only casual glance at the
score sheet. one can see that the first
run made by Roanoke was by hit.
a force and a. second hit. Almost
an earned run. The second run was
due to wo-bagge, and a single,
while the third was the result of
single and two-bagger. The last
rum must be laid at the door OF
Rogers. who threw to catch PRESLEY
at third.
Harmless Error.
The Colts are credited with three
errors, but the one mentioned above
is the only one which resulted dis
astrously. In the sixth Newton let
one get through him. but no one
ball away in the seventh, Raiey drop
ped IA thrown ball. Nothing serious
resulted. So while there we're three
errors. but one caused trouble.
Richmond's first run came in the
sixth. Eberts got walk, was sac
rificed by Laval. went to third on
wild pitch. and scored on Rogers
out at first
The last run was made in the next
Inning. Bresnahan showed out fine
two Dagger upon which he scored
later on two outs.
How 1t Happened.
For Roanoke Maths singled in the
second inning. and second on an. out
at first and hit by Liebe. In the
seventh. after two men went out, and
Gardin had caught two balls and a
pair of strikes. the lanky twirler land
ed squarely for q two-bagger. Nc
Exaaken followed with a single.
