Petersburg. Va. May 20.--The
truckers increased their lead in the
league race by defeating Petersburg
IN the closing game Of the series to-
day, to /. Miller. a recruit pitcher,
working In his first game, was hit
hard by the Truckers during the three
innings in which he worked, and the
I'VE runs which the visitors Hmassed
during this period seemed to take all
the life out of the Coolers. Marks
pitched a creditable game during the
five innings In which he worked. but
ragged fielding BY the Goober infield
aided the visitors materially In COM
piling their nine runs.
Wood was in splendid form and had
the Goober betters at his mercy. st.
Martin featured the lopsided affair
with three singles and home run In
five times at bat. His circuit ciout
was a line drive directly in the corner
between the clubhouse and the left
field fence, and but for the boarc
wall the pellet would have rested Sc
renely on the bosom of the Appouiet-
tox before IL stopped. The game was
witnessed by the second largest crowd
of the season. and those present
showed plainly their loyalty TO the
home team. The score:

TARHEELs ARE VICTORIOUS
OVER HOPEWE,IL WIZARDS

Hopewe1l, Va, May ae.--Ray
Ryan's Tarheels assembled into second
place in the league standing again to-
day by defeating Hopewell In the clos
ing game Of the series, TO 3. The
game wap one of the most exciting
that has been witnessed at Epps Park
this season, but the fifteen stranded
base runners. which the Powder Puffs
had left on, show. the splendid box
work OF Pope in the pinches and the
inability Of the local batters to con-
meet safely when hits meant runs.
The Pufs had three left on bases in
the first. third and NTH innings, but
could not produce the hit necessary
TO drive them home, Crabble made
the only hit which Pope allowed prior
to the seventh inning and his two
singles in the seventh and ninth in
nings drove in two local runners.
Stein brenner continued his sensational
work at second and Dolly Gray fea-
tured at hat with a double and triple
In three attempts.
