The game with Wilmington yester-
day, lost by the score of to 2 was lost
because the outfield work on the part
of the Senators was as ragged and rusty

the ball for three baggers and LeGrande
added two bagger to the list while
Allen, of Wilmington, was the only one
of the opposing team to get beyond the
first base on a hit. Towards the end
of the game it was don't care sort of
an affair that made people tired.
Stewart did good work for the visi'

Allen were also in strong evidence as

Wilmington push was as lively as set

Despite all this, however, the game
might have been Raleighs but for the
poor ball that was played in the two
