Lfllazvhall UR baseball season oiened on March 15th with everything in our D l . . s ga favor. Many boys were on the field with plenty of Apep, and the prospect looked good. After a week of good hard practice Coach in Dickey had a good team picked, and our first game was with New Q9 London Academy on our home grounds. This was a very close Q5 game, as there were only live hits made and R.-M. A. got three of them. Our next two games were with Virginia Episcopal School and Danville Military Institute. The V. E. S. game was another easy victory for the R.-M. A. team. as they played air tight all the way through and their hitting was good. The D. M. T. game was also won easily by the upholders ot the Lemon and Black. I Our lirst trip was to Danville the 9th and 10th of April. The first game there was with Danville High School. After arriving there the team walked several blocks, which made them a little tired: but did this take their pep away from them? Wfell, I should say not. That made them play so much the better. But luck was against us and therefore we lost. The next day we played D: M. T., and in this game we had more pep than ever. but luck turned against us in the fourth inning, and they got a lead of 5 scores. VVe held them down from then on and in the ninth inning R.-M. .-X. tied the score. but D. M. I. was lucky enough to run in another score. Cur next defeat was to Lynchburg High School on our home grounds. Again this jinx followed us. but this did not dishearten our team. Our next trip was to Lynchburg, where we played V. E. S. that afternoon. The game was very close and exciting from start to finish. R.-M. A. won by the score of 2 to l. From there we went to Blackstone to play Blackstone Military Academy. This was the outstanding game of the season. The wearers of the Lemon and Black again played air-tight ball and were credited with putting up as line a game on their grounds as has been played for several years. The team deserves much credit for this game. On May 14th we again played Bedford Athletic Association and won by a score of 16 to 7, thus getting more than our revenge. 156

This game was one of the best staged on Randolph-Macon's field this year. Neither team got over three hits off of the opposing pitcher. The fielding on both sides was excellent. But when the Hnal inning was called R.-M. A. held the bigger end of a 1-to-O score. ' There will be only one lettered man back next year, but we hope the next years team will be as successful as the one this year. In the knowledge of coaching baseball Coach Dickey has proven his ability. The team wishes him a successful future. 6311125 with Scores At R.-M. A .......,,,t, ,ir,..... .............. N .
