Augusta Military Academy. . . . . . 4 Roanoke High School ............................. l On the same trip we played the Augusta Military Academy a five inning game, having to stop on account of rain. Fairbrother pitched for the second time on this trip. His work and the support of the team were good but ex- celled by the opponents, and we were beaten 4 to l. Greenbrier Military Academy .... 5 Roanoke High School ............................. 9 On the next trip the team played exceptionally well and won the nrst game, which was against the VVest Virginians Greenbrier. VVe started things at the very first, the first man up making a three bagger. So it went the whole game, we played the better ball and won 9 to 5. Covington ............ . . . 9 Roanoke High School ............................. 5 Another 5 to 9 game was played on this same trip, but this time the big end went to the opponents, Covington. Fairbrother and Nelson were the battery for Roanoke and they did nice work, but the heavy slugging of the Covington lads was too much for R. H. S. The 1912 season was somewhat discouraging although the team was a good one. Their defeats were due largely to the fact that no games were played on the home grounds. Early in the season Irl Brent was elected manager of the team. He arranged a good schedule, which was carried out very efficiently by Harley Fairbrother, who was elected later in the season when Brent left school. Wle thank Mr. Ernest Sampson most heartily for his services ren- dered as coach. 105
