Blacljsburg won by the score of 7 to 1 Ross, for Blacksburg, pitched a good game, pulling himself out of several holes where hits meant runs. Snead, for Gaffney, pitched an ex cellent game, allowing only two hits, and had he been given any support at all, would have won his game. He was steady from start to finish and the fact that Blacksburg only secured two hits, shows he was master of the game had the home boys only sup ported him fairly well. Gaffney does not intend to stop playing at all but is still in the game and expects to re main there until the season is over. The boys expect more material short ly.
