The Raleigh Recommendations, who
attempted to dine on Bull Yearling
beef on Monday are still suffering
from Algeritis in consequence thereof.
Yesterday they swore to capture the
commission wagon of the TarborO col
| legians-"cat 'em up, shoes, spikes
and sweaters" so Captain O,Brien
said, but the terrible fusilade of base
hits by the collegians put the local
team to hopeless rout. 1t began in
the first innings. Raleigh's Recon-
centradoes opened up the ball with
dcsultory and inaccurate firing. Man
ner struck out and Bernstein and
O'Brien were easy outs. The collie
CLANS Immediately turned loose Max
inns, gatling guns, long toms and lyd-
dte shells, besides telling volleys of
Mausers and Kraig-Jorgesens.
Radcliffe led off with a clean single,
Bacon struck out, but ID. +. Turner'S
and Townsend lined out two baSgers
and Devlin followed with another hit.
Coupled with this Prem and Bern
stein made costly errors on what
should have been easy outs. Little
Persons was high up in the military
balloon and could not see the hello
graphs sent him by Manners.
Five men had come across the plate
and the game was already won. But
the crowd did not think so, for far
across the field reinforccments were
observed hurrying to the front. There
was Il tremendous stir in The camp of
the Reconcentradoes. The bleachers
stood up and yelled, the, the Grand
Stand howled. One word was on the
lips of the crowd-one name came
screaming from 500 Threats, Kelley!
Kelley! King. Kelly" they cried. The
new first baseman, the best of them
all. had at last come.
The ReconcentradoeS wins out in
one two and three order, but the news
of the long expected reinfTcementss
gave them new life and Tarboro was
driven to the field aglia In sid or
der.
The reinforcements were new on The
firing line ana imne iiatciy went into
action. The great King Kelley went
up to bat. Again the crowd went
wild, KELLEY! Kelley. line her out,
home run. Kelley, Kelley" 1t was
the only JOY for the Raleigh fans had
during game. The ordinary ball
player, in such circumstances,
would most likely have initiated
the mighty Casey; but not King
Kelley-oh, no. He made himself
solid with the Raleigh folks by lining
out a three Dagger to right garden
second later he came home on a
wild pitch. The crowd went wild by in
sane with delight. 1t looked as if the
Reconcentradoes might win after all.
Surely Kelley is the hero of yester-
days game. Quick and Persons
struck out and Manning hit an easy
foul to Radcliffe, ending the inning.
In Tarboro's half, after Townsend
had gone out on Il fly to OBrien, Dcv-
lin hits for two bases. Voorhees, drew a
base on balls and Williams was hit by
Persons. but Thomas was any easy
out on a foul and Crane struck out.
Surely Kelley had livened up the de-
iected ReconcentradOes. McCaffey got
a base hit in the fourth after Bern
stein had been thrown out at first,
but O'Brien and DR.. Whitaker struck
out.
In Tarboro's half, five hits, including
three Dagger by Williams. punched
with three errors and sky rocket
throw by McCaffery, who hadn't the
range of first base, gave the collegians
six more runs Raleigh went out one
two and three.
The fifth innings closed with several
changes in the Reconcentradoes ranks.
SO Prem was taken from right garden
and Allen substituted, Person was
.,,N1
in to pitch. and the collegians sat
two more hits to their credit. No
damage was done.
In the next innings. after. three Raj
| eigh batters had taken try at Town
send, the collegians opened up again
single, two Dagger and three er-
rors gave them four more runs-fif-
| teen in all to Raleigh's one. O'Brien
could not stand this. He opened the sew
enth with a slashing hit to left and
| McCaffery followed with another, on
which Williams made an elegant stop
but could not recover himself in time
| to throw to first. Whitaker and Al
| len were easy out and then King Kel-
| ley put hard one to first, which bet
mers let go through, scoring O'Brien
and McCaffery. Kelley stole second
and was put out at home trying to
score on Quick's hit to left. 1t was
fast fielding for Thomas and beau
tiful throw to catch the runner al
the plate. Tarboro failed to score in
their half of the seventh, Thomas and
Voorhees, striking out and Williams
| giving 0fBrien an easy chance.
In the eighth Bass got a base hit
over third, which the umpire called
foul and then struck out. Manners
and O'Brien were easy outs.
For Tarboro Radcliffe line out what
looked like a three Dagger, but fast
fielding cut it down to a mere single
McCaffery sandwiched in an error and
| Townsend and Devlin laced out
| singles scoring two runs.
| Raleigh scored one run in the ninth
| on McCatfery's base on balls and
Whitaker's two Dagger, which he tried
