menced after dinner, with game OF
baseball; Giants vs.. Tar Heels. Giants
gave their opponents two runs in the
first inning, through an error Of second
base, held by Benjamin, who missed
fine chance for a double play, but will
say for Ben that he quit baseball some
~ years ago and played stiff game
with this one exception. The two runs
