ing-Championship Decided To-day.

- w.
The local team is largely indebted for its
victory TO Centre-felder Wells, who captured
no less than five very difficult fly balls. aud
several Of them came Just at a time when a
hit meant several runs for the Winstons.
Foster in left field also did good work, and
closed the game with a brilliant running
catch. which sealed the doom Of the blue
clad ball tcssors from North Carolina.
Mike OR0urke was in the box for the home
team and pitched al excellent game. he WAS
very steady and kept the hits we'll scattered
until the seventh inning. when Jones scored
after being struck bya pitched bali and Hay
den was gwen a base on balls. In the eighth
inning. also, he let down "a little and was
touchedup for a single by Lyston and a home
run BY Bennett. O'ROurke received very good
support throughout. and al no time during
the game was there any doubt as to the ulti-
mate result.
Ford embraced an opportunity % mako one
Of bis questionable plays in the sixth inning,
and this gave the Win.tOns their first run.
Napier and EnriCht each made one or two
BUNDLES of ground balls. tut otherwise played
well. Kain made a very pretty one hand stop
Of "A line ball which otherwise would have re-
suited In a two-bAse hit. Tate played an
srrorless game AZ first base, and led both
teams in batting. making a hit every time
save one that be come up % the plate. Luck
played a superb game, as he always does, and
made several stops which otherwise would
have been charged as wild pitches.
THY WINSTON FIELDHBs.
Keefer. the catcher, il one Of the best men
behind the bat who has played here during
the season. Quarles went IN TO pitch for the
visitors. but having been III for some time he
was not effective. and retired in the hfth
inning ia favor Of LystOn. who pitched a very
GOOD game until the finish. Kelley at third
base and c.. McGann played IN good shape,
and scooped up hot g%Tognders every
territories. The outtelders played without
q muffed ball .and a. 1cGann in centre field
captured several flies that seemed destined 90
DO safe hits. The all-rOund play Of the Win
stOns was good and they lost The game solely
on account OF the superior batting OF the
home team. which was materially assisted by
the weakness of Quarles.
NOT MUCH KICKING.
There was an absence of kicking on the part
OF the home team that pleased the audience
immensely. This may be due 10 the fact that
they had the game well IN hand, or perhaps
certain Of the players begin to realize that
such conduct does not increase their popu,
larity. In any event, they behaved very well
yesterday. and the WinstOns were lett to raise
objections.
Mr.. Green accepted the thankless position
of umpire, and the Tar Heel aggregation con-
ceived the idea that he was rather lnclined TO
assist the local stars. This feeling cuimi-
mated in the third inning, when MIR. Green de-
clared A. AicGann out for not touching the
first base on a tWO-6ase hit. The game was
temporarily stopped, land the WiDstOns Gu
tered a vigorous protest, but finally projected
with the game.
HOW TIE RUNS WIRE MADE.

the very first nnihg Tate opened the game
with a clean single to left-ield: O'Rourke fol-
lowed with a two-base hit, which sent Tate

second. A. McGann made a long Int TO LETT
field and took second on II, but the umpire
declared him out for not touching first base.
HAYDEN closed the inning by a hit to
OROurke.
AN ADDITIONAL UMPIRE.
The decision Of Umpire Green in declaring
TO- ~ ~ thn ulnaya fnnfnn had the
effect # calling into requisition an additional
umpire. and Mr.. Leftwich was sent into the
field 10 decide upon base-runners, while Mr..
Green gave attention to balls and strikes.
The local team added two more runs 70
their score in the fourth inning, as follows:
