gain a Victory for the Red Birds.

Again victory for the Red Birds.
A second time this week the Lobsters
from Wilmington have failed to connect
with victory.
The score by which the game dropped
into the already large collection OF the
Raleigh team was three against one.
Wilmington had at the slab big fell
low, newman on the team and New
man by name. He was puzzler to the
Red Birds and yielded only four hits.
These and the errors of Jack Frost and
other Lobsters were sufficient to turn
the trick.
Stocksdale did the twirlng for the
home team. The scorer puts seven hits
against him, two of which were doubles,
but they were scattered and aided by ex
cellent support in the field Stocksdale
won his game.
There were two beautiful catches DUR
ing the contest. One was by Curran, who
took Newman's sky rocket out of the
air in the fifth inning. He was on the
edge of the embankment in right and
went over as he caught the ball. but
squeezed it. The other was by Sorber in
the eight. McGinnis was on third, DOM
nell on second and "Tacks" Allen lifted
made a fine run for it, capturing the ball
on the side, and keeping the score from
being tied. 1t was a great. catch and
won great applause.
Bill "D's" three Dagger in the fourth
was a great one. 1t went over in the
right chasm and Bill got the glad hand.
In the seventh King Kel took in a foul
fly close up to the bleacher fence that
was daisy.
There We're moments of intense ex-
citement in the game, when things were
hummng, but there was nothing more
enjoyable than the roofing of Mr.. Jor-
dan, from Carey 1t is said that ne was
imported from that city to root. His
melodious cries, his gy-raytious, contor-
tions and twistifications when the Red
Birds did pretty work were worth the
price of admission
Four hundred people witnessed the
game, and these thought that rain checks
were certain when for ten minutes in the
fourth inning rain stopped the game. 1t
cleared away, however, and it was good
ball all through There was no kicking
and Umpire Mace did good work.
Wilmington'S only run came in the
second inning, and was won on a fluke.
McGinnis led off with a hit past Stocks
dale and Dommell followed by hit in
left. Allen bunted to Stocksdale (who
threw McGnnis out at third. Frost hit
in right, but Curran's quick return which
went over LeGrandes head and was taken
in by Stocksdale, who backed him up,
caught Dommell between third and home
He played between Cronin and Stocks
dale and managed to get past as Cronin
held the ball second too long for Stocks
dale to get his man, the ball getting to
LeGrande too lat. The next two men up
swatted nothing but atmosphere.
Raleigh scored first in the third inning.
LeGrande famed and Stocksdale hit in
left. On Clayton's tumble Powers reach
Newman presented Hughes with a
charity ticket to first and the bags had
all they could hold. The big pitcher, who
pitched slow, deliberate game fired to
King Kel who batted to Frost and Frost
threw wild to Clayton on second, letting
Stocksdale and Powers score. Hughes,
who sprinted for third, was put out by
Warren who had corralled the ball as it
bounded away from Clayton. Sorber end
ed the run getting by flying to Frost
Raleigh's third and last run came in
the next inning. Hennager hit hot by
Clayton. Cronin famed and Hennager
stole second and on a wild pitch scored
from that base. Curran flew out to
Frost, but LeGrande whacked a three
bagger He stayed on third, however, as
Smith flew out to Clayton.
There was a temporary squirt as the
game reached it's shank and the squirt
was by Newman. Bill 3D. had taken in
Frost's foul fly and Thackera had punched
the air when the gentleman with the
''yaller" striped sweater appeared. He
swatted a two bagger in deep right, but
Clayton, who began the game by flying
out = Hughes, ende dit by batting to
Stocksdale, who threw him out at first,
leaving Newman a lonely figure on second.
How it all happened as narrated by
Mr.. Irvine Jones and his score book in
figures is as follows:
