by score of ten to three.
The game was a miserable exhibition
of poor ball playing by the Tar Babies,
one of whom got mad and quit the
grounds and another, like a spoiled

ground and let in run.
Wolf, who was in the box for Tarb-

first and, fifth innings. He was caught
by Phillips the released first baseman
of Raleigh, who did his work well.

from Tarboro after Raleigh was great
ly in the lead and let them have a few
extra hits.

told by the umpire to go to the bench,
and on being fined $500 quit the game.
Spratt fired up against one of Meade's
decisions and threw the ball to the
ground, allowing Sorber to score. Be-
sides this other Tarboro players threw
the ball carelessly around The people
in attendance were disgusted with the
spirit shown, as they had paid to see
