Especial toaNews and observer.)

bali here today was the best exhibition
of base ball ever seen on the park dia-
mond. Indeed it is doubtful whether a
better game has ever been played within
the bounds of the State. From start to
finish each team played as one man.
There was never a time when. either team
s'let down" for a minute. For nine in
nings the crowd sat breathlessly waiting
to see the first run made and until Rad
cliff crossed the rubber winning the game
for Tarboro nobody would have dared
predict the winning team. The baseball
enthusiasts expected a good game; every
body knew that the best teams in the
league were meeting for a battle royal
but nobody dreamed that the game would
be SO phenomenal.
When the Durham team came on the
field two new players were seen in Dur
ham uniforms for the first time. They
were Fitzgerald and Ishmer. Nobody in
the crowd knew where they came from,
but as soon as play was called everybody
knew they had come from land where
ball players g.row. With Fitzgerald at
second base and Ishmer at third base, and
.Dieey" Winston at short stop. the team
was decidedly stronger than it has been
at any time during the season. The Tar
boro boys are a handsome set of men,
and one has only to see them to know
that they play ball

: o'clock with Durham at the bat.
