ISOLATION in the knowledge that some

Coolers would be a regular team be-

No better illustration OF the pitch

win an ordinary game. But that five

Roanoke not deliberately thrown away
runs, and had not Rohc and Newton
and bunting given solid front TO
some awful shots from the enemy. It
was simply a case OF get out and make
more runs than the other fellow.
