INDIANS OPEN HOME
GAMES WITH ROANOKE
William and Mary Nine Clashes With
Roanoke College ON Gary
Field Today.

Especial to The Richmond Virginian)
Williamsburg. Va. April 8
william and Mary will play her first
home game OF the season on Cary
feld today when she encounters the
Roanoke collegians in the initial con
test of a two-game series. Following
lust on the heels of the wednesday
and Thursday games with Roanoke,
ne Indians will meet on Saturday the
strong Gray team OF Portsmouth, who
have won the cham pionship of that
city for the past three years These
weekend games should put the local
nine in fine trim for the first cham
pionship game one week hence with
the Richmond college Spiders.
So far this season the Indians have
failed TO show any remarkable often
sive strength. The game that result
ed in a 90 victory for the University
OF Virginia should have been much
closer, but the inability to clout the
pill with men OF coupled with loose
infeld work led to the Indian defeat.
Coach Peachy has had his men hard
at work since that game and has been
instructing them in some OF the inner
points of the sport.
Practice games with the scrubs have
brought out some OF this instruction
in practical application. The two In
dian Roanoke contests should furnish
a few thrills. as the teams are known

are hotly contested by Turner, Lacy,

by and Stevens are giving each other
a close chase for the initial sack. At

ising work. There is still uncertainty
as to who Will play in the outfield.

candidates The pitching staff il at
