Thev have milled themselves out of the whole re markahly during the last two weeks and are now nip and tuck with Franklin. Last Friday's game with Em- Pria resulted in a hlank for the visitors, Roanoke Rapids piling up five runs. Barnes pitched a magnificent game, allowing the visitors only two hits and fan ning ten of the twenty-nine men facing him. His support was perfect, no errors being charged up against Roanoke Rapids. Features of the game were the batting of Scott, Barnes and Johnson. Saturday's game couldn't reach that of Friday. Emporia scored a run in the first half of the first frame on errors. This perform ance was duplicated by the Rap ids in their half, the final score standing at five to three for the Rapids. Scott's pitching was uniformly good, Holding was back on the job at first and both he and Barrett put up a nifty article in the way of baseball. Honig's batting was again a fea ture of the performance, his bat ting average for the season soar ing up to four hundred. John son's work at short and Hollo man's behind the bat was also worthy of mention. Taken as a whole the Roanoke Rapids team has worked up to fine shape all around, which was well proven when they shut out the Franklin team on their home grounds Wednesday. Thursday's game was lost to Franklin, eight hits being scored off Pace. Franklin plays here to-day and to-morrow and the results of these games will possible tell the tale of pennant winning.
