Bishops, who had knotted the count at five all in the sixth, were not able to break ahead of Fork Union, on whose field the game was played.

Hodgson opened the third with a long home run, the first Bishop four-bagger of the year, and Peele connected for the circuit two in- nings later after Hodgson had taken first on being hit by Fisher. V. E. S. tallied twice more in the
