MONTGOMERY, Adjutant The discovery of a pitcher in the little Virginian, Goldstein, resulted in a a good game of ball yesterday between the Padau shoe men, and the Denial club. The game expected to be childs play, but before it ended the boys were doing some work worthy the swiftest of amateurs. Some of them won't get over their hard work for several days. It was the original intention to play only seven- innings, but when the score ran along so even they concluded to play the full nine inuings, which meant ten before the Denial boys made good their victory. The Padau nine was made up ox Ware, pitcher; (succeeded by Goldstein in third inning;) Farnham, catcher; ijloyd, first base; Schilling, second base; Anderson, third base; Gilbert, short stop; Cole, right field; Ware, center field; Yates, left field.

Charley Cloud started to play center field, jut was feeling unwell and gave up his )lace which was filled by Ware. The Denial nine lined up with Wiliams, pitcher; Nichols, catcher, Murfin, first base; Miller, short stop; Johnson, second base; Higgins, third base: Sikes, center field; Ayers, right field; leed, left field. Leslie Mann acted as umpire for three innings when he was succeeded by Pratt. The players were ioinewhat inclined to kick at every- -hing but Pratt gave good honest decisions. Mann made a good umpire but his decisions were not always positive.

Will Reed and Kinney Hall cored the game. Tbe first inning stood 3 to 4 for the Denials and in the next two innings hey made 10 more. Things looked for the Shoe men with 14 to 7 against them in only three innings, fortunately some one suggested that joldstein could pitch. Ware was only oo willing to give him the job. It was hard on Catcher Farnham hough, for the Virginian proved a brower.

Goldstein was a "ringer" on the Denials. He was formerly a member of the Roanoke Athletic club and for five years has "been playing in tbe crack club of Roanoke. His favorite position is third base. He had the reputation of being one of the best players in the club. He undoubtedly- saved the shoe men a fearful slaughter, for the next three innings the Denials failed to score while the Shoe Men came up in the 15 to 14 in their favor at the end of the sixth.

Considerable excitement was created by the beautiful running catch made by Percy Reed in the leftfield. The applause was deafening. Pete Ware was a hero in the fourth when he''sent the sphere over the right and made third base. As a sprinter Pete is at the top of the ladder. He did some of the best playing of all the boys.

He stopped several pretty balls out in the field. His coaching excellent Cole in the right field was His work was quite expensive for the Sfaofl Men. He caught nothing. Farnham stood up behind tbe bat for the whole ten innings. He worked hard.

Miller put up the best article of ball among the Denials. His work was splendid. Williams made a good pitcher and Nichols was not slow behind the bat. Sikes and Murfin did well. In ihe seventh the Denials made 2 Shoe Men, 0.

On the eighth it was a tie. Neither side scored in the ninth. The Shoe Men failed in tbe tenth. It was easy for the Denials. They made the score 20 to 19 in their favor.

The game was one worth seeing. It lasted until after six o'clock. The score by innings was as follows: 1 2 3 5 6 7 8 9 10 Padan 3 0 4 5 1 2 0 4 0 0-19 Denials 4 5 5 0 0 0 2 3 0 1--20 THE LAWYERS AND TKACIIEKS--NIT. The Lawyers and Teachers made their appearance about four o'clock, expecting to find the field open and the grand stand full of fans. They waited until nearly dark when the game was called on account of not having any ball.

They had failed to provide themselves with ball or bat The Teachers laughed and went home. Tbe Lawyers want to play somebody else. FOB THK POLO3. The Vaneeburu team is expected to come up tomorrow and learn the Polos a few new tricks. They will play on the Polo grounds in tbe afternoon.

SIC 'EM, I'HATT. The Lucasville club would like to play the team Pratt had on the diamond Thursday. The Lucasville team is stronger now than ever. They have been trying to get a game with the Polos, but they don't seem very anxious to play. Can't you play'em, Pratt? Trip C.
