The Clever Men From Roanoke
Put Up a Great Game.
WAS A PITCHERS' BATTLE.
Roanoke Hit the Ball for Keeps, and
Their Man Fisher Pitched a Grand
Game, But Poor Fielding and
an Umpire's Decision
Gave Norfolk Victory.

ment the knights of the diamond
?ettled <lowu to the serious work of the
stftertioou until the last muu was re
aired in the uiillL iiiniug, tbo excite
tueut was simply iuteuso.
Boauoko'a piteher was a smooth

smz/.liug "curves" aud niter tbe first
Inning be had the Nor folks at his
<u rej und 11itii he received goo.i stip
ji rt ibere would have beeu tbo story
ol a defeat. At times.Mr, Fisher was
?wild in his delivery, but, nil tbiugs
??nur nli ri d, bo pitched n great game of
ttiall. Norfolk made exactly three bus
?ii,d of these one whs u serateb, Flauer

?resteriiiU tin' mou has a bright future,

It is eEoecdiugly difficult to pass n

lie lacked eoutrol aud speed but he
ceems to be gamo iiuii exercises a deal

Hoauoke's Ueldiug uns ragged to say
Ibe least. They have u fair first

A Pretty Ooutl Itecord,
Tiio silis of tho Fifty-third congress
Were chiefly sins of omission, says tho
Philadelphia Record. What legislation
it did enact was mainly on the riyht
Inn-, and the two great measures that
will serve to givo it distinction in the
future?tho Wilson tariff bill and the
repeal of tho Sherman silver purchase
law?have already been vindicated by
re.-uit.-. The failure to ugruu on any
plan of financial reform that would
have relieved tho tit usury of tho bur?
dens imposed on it by past Republican
legislation is, after nil, about tho only
just cause of complaint, and that fail?
ure was due almost entirely to Repub?
