the latter it was sometimes deep ana
dense enough to cut. The rooter even
ceased to root and the guyer to guy. Then
all of a sudden both teams would wake
ND and play good, snappy, exciting
game for an inning or two, then relapse
into the old dizziness again.
Henderson used the stick with good
effect, but on the field they fumbled and
played with the ball, while the Raleigh
men hied themselves from base to base.
And the more critical the situation the
more this nervousness seemed to affect
them.
On the other hand, Raleigh was almost
helpless with the bat, but usually man
aged to get i'm hits where they meant
runs. Though the Raleigh men made only
about half as many basehits as Hen
4derson. yet they got nearly twice as
many runs.
The game was called at 4:15 o'clock;
and il the 200 spectators didn't get the
worth of their money in the quality OF
the playing they did in the quantity, for
1T was nearly O'Clock when the ninth
inning was completed.
FIRST INNING.
Raleigh was the first at the bat.
Mckee took the stick first aud
sent a BAH to right field. Whita-
ker drew four balls. Mckee scored on
fly to left field by Denny, Parker went
out on fly to centre and Denny was
put out on first. Wynne famed out, re-
firing the side.
DAILY was the first batter for Hender-
son. His pop-fiy dropped into Wynne.s
hands Winston singled. Highsmlth
fly was caught by Whitaker. Winston
stole second Side retired on Webb's fly,
caught by Whitaker.
SECOND INNING.
Raleigh now woke up and made things
so lively with their stick work that the
crowd enacted the part of wild men.
Brenig led off with basehit, Baumann
singled and Brenig went TO second, then
TO third on error Busbee brought him
in. Bagley made basehit, Busbee scored
and Bagley went to third on errors. Nc
Kee sent beautiful fly to centre which
was bagged by Written, but he stood In
the same spot and missed its mate sent
there by Whitaker. Whitaker stole sec
ond. Denny struck out. Parker went
out on first.
Henderson went to the bat with will
and clearly they were in a retaliatory
mood, but they couldn't find Bushels
balls and went out in one, two, three Or
der.
THIRD INNING.
When Raleigh came for her third in
ming Henderson fed her out of the same
spoon and down they went-Wynne,
Brenig and Bagley, adding nothing to
the score.
But Henderson did no better so far as
results were concerned. Winston and
Highsmfth sent beautiful flies to the
centre, but both were properly cared for
by Baumann. A pop fly from Webb went
to Wynne and the side retired.
FOURTH INNING.
Raleigh now got down to business and
added another to her score. Mckee went

cared for. Overton singled. Cheatham
made a two base hit, sending Overton to
third. Harris singled and Overton and
Cheatham were caught trying to reach
home.

Now Person woke up and began to
twirl the sphere with rapidity and snap
not hitherto shown in the game. Out
went Brenig, Baumann and Busbee, none
of them coming anywhere near it.
With shouts and renewed hope Hen
