Blacksburg walloped. Gaffney administered an over whelming defeat to the Blacksburg aggregation of baseball players in Blacksburg on Wednesday afternoon when in a game of six and a half innings Gaffney piled up twenty-five runs, while one lone tally graced Blacksburg’s side of the score sheet. The game was called at the close of Blacksburg's half of the sixth inning on account of the Gaffney players be ing exhausted from the numerous trips around the base. Seven of the Gaffney players made two runs each in the last inning of play. Floyd started in the box for Blacksburg but was accorded rotten support and re tired in favor of Belue who fared no better. Wood for Gaffney was steady at all times and held the Blacksburg batters at his mercy. Hamrick’s terrific batting was a feature. The enthusiasm so notice able on a recent occasion when Gaff ney was defeated by a score of five to 0 wag conspicuous by its absence. Had nine innings been played it is impossible to estimate the number of runs that might have been made. Farmers’ Rally Day. Grover, N. C., July 31, 1907.
