The P. P. |. base ball club de-
feated Billiards. aggregation Sat
urday afternoon in one of the
most interesting games of the
season, the score being eleven to
nine.
Notwithstanding the large
score, the game was exciting,
and was undecided until the last
man was down in the ninth.
Both teams were about evenly
matched in the field, the P. P. L.
having a shade the best pitching,
and out hit their opponets.
Batteries p. P. l., MCGOWAN

Vaughn and Deatherage.
NOTES OF THE GAME
PowelPs homer in the opening
frame was the batting feature of
the game. 1t was a beauty.
McCowan's pitching for the
P. P. rs was high-class. He was
master of the situation in the
pinches.
Hans Wagner (Wilco) Scanlon
played a brilliant game for P. P.
|. at start. His fielding was very
clean, and he got the ball away
like the "old timer"
Bennett and Deatherage put
up a good game behind the bal
for their respective teams.
Hanger played a good steady
game for the P. P. rs. Frank
Cornelius also took an active
part in the game.

His brothers death, in truth,

seemed of a sudden to stand as Law

set out for the Bahamas Lawrence

the militia, obtaining for him, though
he was but nineteen commission as
major and district adjutant in his
stead; and after his return in 1852,
Lieutenant Governor Dinwiddie, the
crowns new representative in Vir-
ginia, added still further to his re-
sponsibilities as a soldier by reducing
the military district of the colony to
four, and assigning him one of the
four, under renewed commission as
major and acknowledgement. His

The action of the colonial govern
ment in compacting the organization
and discipline of the militia by reduc-
ing the number of military dis
tricts was significant of a SIMS

War Was Inevitable.
Whoever should be commissioned
to meet and deal with the French up
