Monday afternoon our team crossed
bats with the aggregation from Ran
dolph-Macon Academy, and from the
start IL was a sad story. Our boys
were not able to solve the delivery Of
the opposing pitcher, getting but one
hit in the Ave innings that were played,
the game being called at that point on
account Of lecture, by Dr.. Losey
| Willis started on the mound for our
boys, and in the frst inning the enemy
! collected four runs of Of two hits and
several errors. The second inning
gave them two more. In the fifth r.
M. A. loaded the bases, and at this point
Coach Legge took Willis from the box
and substituted Jack Crowl TO take up
the burden OF stopping the onslaught
OF the enemy. Three more runs we're
garnered in this inning, and when our
side came to bat we failed to make a
tally. There was not a great deal Of
regret when the spectators found the
game called on account OF Shakespeare.
r. NJ A., il must be conceded, has a
splendid ball team. This afternoon
at $50 the Independents from Berkeley
Springs will be the attraction on the
home grounds, and the comparative
strength OF the two teams forecasts a
good game.
