SAINTS 9, V. E. S. 6
St. Christophers put on a three- run drive in the third inning and runs ·n all the other innings except the second to hand V. E. S. its second loss 9 to 6.
Scott, the Saints second baseman, scored on a hit by King in the first inning, giving the Richmond team a one-run lead. V. E. S. countered with Joslyn scoring on Cole's hit after stealing two bases.
Neither team scored in the sec- ond round, which was marked by a double play, creditable to third baseman Fronk Gray of V. E. S.
The Saints opened up in the third with singles b y A yers a n d Minor. They put five more men on base with an error and walks. Ayers scored on a hit and Minor and Mas- sie were walked home. Carter was immediately replaced by Russ W entz who fanned one man and forced the other to fly out.
St. Christopher scored one in the fourth, two in the fifth, and two in the top of the sixth while holding the Bishops t o n,othing.
Then in the last of the sixth, the Episcopal players ran rampant. Sin- gles by Cunningham, Joslyn, Cole and Floyd, plus two helpful walks and as many errors, scored five men. In the last of the inning, the Saints' pitcher was replaced by Kerton. Two men already out, Kerton gave away two singles and then a ground o~t to give Saint Christophers the Win.

BROOKVILLE 3, V. E. S. 0
O n T h u r s d a y , A p r i l 2, V i r g i n i a Episcopal School opened its base-
ball season against the Bees of Brookville High School. Both teams were scoreless in the first inning. Milstead opened up for Brookville in the second inning with a single. L e f f e l w a s t h e n w a l k e d , Mi l s t e a d stole third, and Brookville had a man in scoring position. After Styles had grounded out to shortstop, Hunter and Camden hit and got on base due to Bishop errors, driving in two runs with Hunter scoring on a sacrifice fit to give the Bees three.
The following innings saw little action and other than a brief drive by Brookville in the third frame, no scoring threat.
Then in the bottom of the seventh the Bishops filled up the bases due to two Brookville errors and Gray's single. With V. E. S. having no men out, Coach John Hill brought in John Frady to relieve Glen Styles, who had pitched a four-hitte:r up to that point.
Frady fanned pinch hitter Lanny Pratt and pitcher Dale Carter then forced Cunningham to ground out to second bose to end the game, the Bees winning 3-0.
Both Styles and Carter pitched superior games, each hurler allowing his opponents only four hits. Besides the spectacular pitching, there were two spectacular catches made. Brookville's left fielder Ashly Miller made a running catch in the fifth and center fielder Penn Joslyn of V. E. S. made a running, diving, somersaulting catch in the sixth.
J. V.'s
With the season just underway, the V. E. S. J. V.'s have won one and lost one. At the present time, the team consists of McGhee at third, Hortenstine or Vandergrift at short, Hicks at second and Ry'On at first.

The J. V.'s opened their season with a bang, defeating Nelson Co., 14-13. The Junior Bishops, who once led by eight runs were forced to rally in the final inning to win. With the scored tied Winborne singled sharply to bring Hutter across with the winning tally. The J. V.'s, who got I7 hits, were led by McGee and Hutter who had 3-for-4, Hicks and Ryon, who had 2-for-4, and Winborne who had 2-for-5.

The J. V.'s evened up their sea- son with a loss t o Brookville, 13-1 . The Junior Bishops were unable to hit the pitching of Roll, the Brook- ville hurler. Sloppy support in the field t o g e t h e r with Brookville hits gave the Bees at least one run in every inning. Roll struck out 15 and Wood, who pitched the game for t h e J . V .'s f a n n e d 12. Davis, with 2-for-3 got the only Bishop hits.
