Such game!
the way things went on for three in
nings.
The score of Is for Wilmington and
8 for Raleigh, with Wilmington's fif-
teen made in three innings, shows
that it was an O-take- me- home-I-am
tire-of-it sort of ball punching con-
test Fourteen hits for Raleigh ana
sixteen for Wilmington also add to the
tale of woe.
What caused it? Well, beloved, the
crowd said, and the crowd was not
talking through its hat either, that one
Mr.. W. p. Sutch, gnown to fame as a
cracks jack pitcher assisted in the
funeral, and that Mr.. Umpire Upchurch
was responsible for some of the cases
of heart failure. There be others who
insist that the hoodoo was Mr.. Will
liam Boylan and his goose, assisted by
the A. and M. cadet band. Certain it
is that as soon as Mr. Boylan hid his
goose in the corner of the fence and sat
down on her that the Senators began
to play ball. and to present the iGants
with the eggs which Mr.. Boylans
placard hald told about.
The Boylan banner had tied to it a
fine fat goose. On the banner was this
inscription:
Il am Virginia's goose.
7 Have Layed for Norfolk.
I Have Layed for Richmond,
Portsmouth and Newport News;

The hoodoo had seen this bait and
he chuckled in glee. He got next to
Sutch and Sutch wouldn't play ball. He
dazzled Umpire Upchurch's eye and
that gentleman got somewhat rocky in
the Senators. Oh, but the Monday hoo
doc just played smash yesterday.
Sutch started the game off. Of the
first five men up he presented three
with bases on balls, and one hit for d
three Dagger. This last incident was
too, too much for Key. SO he sent Sutch
to the bench and put Person at the
slab OF the, five men that faced Per-
son, four got hits, and Kelly only
saved the fifth by a hot catch. In the
second inning of six men up, five got
hits, and so when the third inning for
Norfolk came Person was retired and
Stanley put in. But the hoodoo was
still at work. and in the third, four
bits, one base on balls and one man
hit by the ball netted six more runs.
After the third inning the hoodoo was
exercised from field work and each
inning was blank for Wilmington. be-
ginnin gwith the fourth.
Raleigh scored in four innings. These
We're the first, fourth, seventh and
eighth. After Wilmington had piled up
six innings in the first inning it look
ed bad for Raleigh, but when Home
Run Stanley took the stick-first man
up for Raleigh-and whacked out a
home run, the crowd went wild. Four
runs on top of this made the score six
to five in favor of Wilmington And it
looked rosy for Raleigh. The two shut
out for the Senators and the nine Will
mington added in the next two innings
to its score were SETTLERS, and left
things in a hopeless state.
The records show that the Whining
ton pitcher was batted almost as fierce
~ as Raleighs triple pitching force
Pine Top Voorhees, had no idea that
fourteen hits could be made off him,
and he was paralyzed at the audacity
of Stanley in making two home runs
and at Hennegars stab at the ball Tor
three bags.
Stanley did pretty execution on Stat
ford, the heavy batter from Whining
ton, In the fifth and seventh innings
that big fellow struck out
great crowd was present to see the
game and the A. and n band gave
some excellent music. The fast in
fielding and outfieIding of the Whining
ton Giants was greatly appreciated as
was stanley's magnificent work with
the stick
