BEATEN ONCE MORE.
THE OLD OOMINIoNS DEFEAT THE
WlNsTONS A SECOND TIME.
The Batting Heavy on Both Sides. and the
Game Good-The Brilliant Plays
ofthe Contest.
:" We'll, we'll. well. "

swell, we'll, we'll"
This was the expression which fell from
the lips Of 56s ake-life-easy cranks at
Island Park yesterday afternoon. as the
Winstons for a second time passed under
the yoke Of the Old Dominion "novem-
virs.n
But Oh! It was q "close call I" in the
ninth inning. and the respective hairs on
the respective heads Of the respective
cranks all stood on their ends with
anxiety, while their breath, like the knIck-
erbocker suits of the players, came IN
short pants" The score up to this time
stood 10 to 8, but at the very last moment
the pine-sap youths made squirt and
came awfuily. swfully near pulling mp IT
not beating their antagonists.
NED TATE UNPrREs AND PERsPIREs.
Mr.. Edward Tate, better known in club
(base-balD circles as Ned" assumed the
responsible and precarious position OF
umpire when the game commenced and
| throughout was as thorough and able IN
| his decisions as Judge of the Supreme
Court. He first appeared in capacious
| citizens suit of black, with q neglige
shirt and crsvat, but as he warmed up in
his opinions he divested himself of the
coat, then the cap. and last OF the cravat.
| When the prospect of q ten-inning game
glared like q demon in the face of the Old
Dominions the spectators became exceed
| ingly apprehensive of Edwards undress-
ing proclivities, and modest youths who
smoked cigarettes auaked in their boots
| lest his next metamorphosis should trans
form him into man bedecked as were
John Jaspers progenitors long years ago
! IN old Africa. But though Ned was warm
he umpired finely and another contest ter
minated without kicking.
Foster made bis appearance upon the
| diamond in the cerulian blue Of the Win
stons, which contrasted harmoniously with
the sunset tints of his cranium, AMI rem
dered his rubicund locks more lovely. he
took the place of one ofthe sap-suckers J"
who was sick, and played game on first
that even an angel might be responsible
for.
THE BATTING HEAVY AND HoMR-RUNs
PLENTIFUL.
The Virginia boys were first to bat-or
rather try to bat-but their efforts with
the sapling proved how futile mans efforts
are, even though he does his best. The
Carolinians. however, did better, and
scored two runs. 1t was in this innin &
that Foster had the honor of spinnin 6
around to seco nd on beautiful two-bag-
ger. which wounded McGuires heart aw-
fully. The agile little owner of the wine
colored head. by the way. repeated his
clever batting feat again in the course OF
the game. and won great spplause. His
playing on first was magnificent.
After the first inning, a regular old-time
befo-de-war" game followed and heavy
battery ensued. The three Winston pitch
ers--for they changed thrice to remedy
the eyils-were knocked skyward, east
ward, westward and in every other dlrec-
tion ball could possibly 90, while Nc
Guire likewise suffered severely and was
pounded to the extent OF nine base-hits
West. Enright, and Jones each made home
runs which finally got as common as foul
hys.
Lumsden batted exceedingly we'll fol
the Virginians, while q. McGann. the tar
heel short-stop did excellent work. Luch
played magnificent game, anu keefer
likewise showed that he understood the
principles of the national sport.

Tim West. whose diminutive appear

of his being carried around bases in {
baby was in fine shape, though
he came near losing his symmetry on one
occasion when he collided with the left
field fence in his efforts to catch ball. H'
