10 left field, secured home run. W. Sterken,
Kronan, Hayes and Mcguire each secured a
run. E. Sterken was taken on the fly by McGa-

endeavored to make home run, but the ball
being quickly felded by Fuller to Schacte, he
was stopped short when within few feet OF
the hoped for goal. Inning closed with five
runs.
The Carolnas in this inning just saved them
selves skunk, O'Neill making the only run,
Folin, McGary and Huser striking out.
Fourth Inning. g.-Lynch was again unfortu-
nate, Schacte being too Alert to let foul fly
bass him and consequently nabbed it. Meyer,
kronan. Mcguire and Hayes each scored, the
two other unfortunates being W. and E. Ster-
ken.
The Carolinas now went to the bat, deter
mined If possible to lessen the difference in the
score. McCabe opened with home run and
added another to his score before the innings
closed. O'Neill followed his example by doing
ditto, making the number Of home runs even
on both sides. Edgerton, Schacte, Houston,
Follin, McGary and Fuller, each secured run.
Fuller struck out, Edgerton taken on the fly by
Mcguire, and Huger ditto by Kronan. Game
now standing % to Is in favor Of Eclipse.
Fifth Inning. Darkness was fast approach
ing, but it was thought that this inning could
be played out and the game thereby decided.
The Caroinas went to work with will, and by
some very pretty playing retired their antago-
nists in one, two, three order-Cheney being
put at first by Edgerton, Lynch being again
unfortunate on foul bound to Schacte, and
W. sterken taken on the fly by McCabe, Myer
being left on third base.
Schacte secured his run, Houston was put
out on foul bound to Mcguire, Follin scored
and O'Ne;l made his first and was on his way
to second when the umpire, on account of the
darkness, called the game. Only four even in
nings being played, it was consequently (ac-
cordins 10 the rules of the national association)
no game.
The playing Of both clubs was far from their
usual standard, and the fielding on the part OF
the Carolinas in the second inning was very
loose.
At an early day we hope to see the deciding
game played, and we advise both clubs to give
as much time as possible TO practice during
the interval.
The players on Thursday we're greatly an
noyed by the crowd closing up upon them and
giving them very contracted space to play in.
Cannot this be remedied
Below We give the score:
