FRIENDS ONCE MORE.
TlTANS AND WINSTONS WILL STRUG.
GLE FOR THE REMNANT.
Eleven Championship Games to 30 Played
and Kicking Players to he Tined-Tbe
Giants Will Have New Uniforms.

The Donati Giants and Winston Blues
have kissed again in tears" and as re-
suit OF their renewal of friendship the
games for tho championship of tho South
will bo played out.
Squire " Donati has decided. however,
that the number of these shall be eleven
instead of seventeen. Five of the con-
tests will take place in this city, and the
Others at any place which Mr.. Baitty, the
manager Of the Carolinlans. NAV suggest.
The contracts between the two teams
have been signed, but with the special
provlsO that the umpire III charge shall
nave the right TO fine any kicking" play
ers sums ranging from one to ten dollars.
This. 1t is believed, will check the evil
which has existed heretofore, though of
course the captains of the respective
nlnes will still retain their prerogatives to
express, IN eentlemanly manner, their
dissatisfaction at any decisions which
strike them rs being improper.
THK FIRST GAME MKT TUESDAY.
The Winston boys. owing TO the agree
inent now existing between the manage
ment OF the two teams. will remain IN the
city until after the first FIVE championship
games are played. The first Of these will
commence tuesday and the visitors, who
now realize that their records are at
stake. Will strenuously endeavor to carry
on the laurels OF the fight. They feel al
most certain of victory, while the Do
natIans are equally as sure that they will
capture tho pennant of the two States.
This afternoon the HIchmonds aud Old
Domimons Will cross bats tor a noble
cause.-The new uniforms Of the former
team-and the public patronage will
doubtless be very large, as there is not Il
crank who does not appreciate the need
the PLAYERS feel for the new clothes. Luck
has worn O'Eourkes trousers (when the
latter was not playing. OF course) until the
trousers and the two men have become as
closely identified as the Siamese twins.
Some of the other players, too, now don
garments with enough dirt upon them to
make boom lot. Mike O'Kourke will
pitch for the Giants tins evening, while
Luck will hold hlm behind the bat. 1t
has not yet been decided whose clothes
the latter Will wear. but the popular belief
Is that they Will not be Tim Vests.
Murray Mcclure Will toss the sphere for
the Old Dominion Colts, while keefer, of
the Winston team. Will play catch.
TO PARADE IN NEW sUIIs TUESDAY.
If the sunshine of proSpe1ity-that is TO
say, a good crowd-comes down upon
the game this afternoon the Titans, accom-
panied by their tar-heel opponents, Will
parade the streets in their new clothes,
ana with the Squire IN knickerbockers
as commlndant and Luck as first lieu
tenant, the pageant will be truly magniti-
cent.
Interest in baseball has greatly revived
III this city, and on almost every corner
the national game Is discussed with that
same vehemenco and irascibility which
formerly characterized the " cranks "when
they got thoroughly warmed up in their
enthusiasm.
If fewer spectators got on top of the
boat-house ON Island Park and more occu-
pied seats in the grand stand the financial
status Of the Donatiaus would be mate
rally strengthened.
