WHITEHEAD WINS
BY A SAFE HIT IN THE NINTH
INNING.
A Close and Exciting Game, Full OF
Brilliant Plays - CharlestOn's
Great Pitcher, WeyhiRg.

There was a dazsd look on the fatel
of the 1000 or mora people who wit
messed yesterdays game between
Memphis and Charleston that must
have been intent e y comical to those
who hadn't staked anything on the
game. And it must be confessed that
the humor of the situation is more
thor,ughly enjoyable from retro
sneciiys point OF view than it was from
tie grand stand during the progress OF |
the game. 1t wasn't h VT as funny al
the time as it looks row.
Those Charleston boys actually had |
the assurance to maze two runs
AGAINST Memphis in the hr5t inning,
and nref ant her with three nice lit z
goose-eggs all in a low, and aztec thsy
were tied iu the fourth inning by ms
locals scoring . uns, thy rubbed the
medicine in by presenting the home
nine w tn four moe eggs oil the same
vsri aty. and it was only by lucky hits
of Whitehead end o Leary that the
home nine Just did pull through in
the last inniog. 1t was a game TO De
remembered. More brilliant indi-
vidual playing has never been wit
messed on the locsl grounds, and as an
exhibition of good ball playing
the game Yesterday will lanK
with any played here with visiting
clubs. Charleston, it is true, mace
four errors, but they were mora than
