BALL TO THE RAT!
Winston in the Diamond Against Kins-
ton and Charlotte.

| ton and Charlotte.
The club from kinston played our
Winston team last F.iday evening.
Although composed of well-built men
they were no match for Winston's
athletes. F'-om the very first the
game seemed like Il joke, with Kins-
ton as the jolee. Man after man
famed the air in the neighbOrhood
of Crossett's balls and retired In
several innings not Il single kinston
man made first. Every man on the
nine, with one exception, was struck
out by Crossett. TowaI d the latter
part of the game our boys batted
and ran bases carelessly, not wishing
to increase the score
| This is the official result
