have seen splendid exposition OK ball-play-
ing.
The contest commenced very prettily. Two
individuals for the Richmonds crossed home
plate, and one Of the Tar-heel ne!ghbors fol-
lowed suit. but from that time 10 the end the
scOre-book registered nough's for tho Wins
tons IN the run column.
With the Richmonds matters were different.
With two runs in the first they started the sec
ond inning bravely. and then It was that seve-
raj infelders lost their heads and allowed four
Giants 10 plant their feet on the home plate.
The Richmonds even pers0yered IN such
good work and ended the game with eight
runs 90 their credit.
Hard. earnest work was the reason f0r the
success There was no espeaia, brlliancy dl,-
played. nor splendid hitting 1t was just
pluck aud determination coupled with errors
by the Winstons The later were really the
men who bit the ball but il was their un-
lucky day oil around and 1t was seldom mat
one OF their men managed TO advance further
than second base.

reaching first on called balls. and then fol-
lowed the Chinese playing that made he runs
and the Winstons wish they never lad been
born.
The game. however. after tie second in
ming was pretty. Clean hits were numer-
ousy made by the Wnstons. and few by tie
Rchmonls. but the splendid field work by
the Giants had It's effect and the North Caro-
linians became more convinced each inning
that 10 was an impOssibility to catch ZIP % the
score with the RichmOnds.
They worked earnestly. however, for that
end Jones even bruised himself ~ bis aud-
able endeayOrs. In the fifth inning Le was
FIRST az the bat and made a pretty single 70
left field. He saw. however, chance o.
make second and made q dash. just about
the same time Foster threw the ball 90 I'm
right, and when Jones took the slide he went
clean over the base and was baggcd out ln

bruised his knee considerably
NcGann. who pitched for theylsit0fs. rather
surprised his friends by being somewhat Wild.
His deliveries embraced tine usual number ~
excellent and intricate curves. but keeier and
Kelley had all they could do % keep the ball
from mingliug with the spectators on the
grand stand
