twirler of the NOrth Cdio1na state
League!
Using his right whip largely for the
purpose, he. yesterday afternoon at the
Broad Street Park, in the presence Of
1000 people, aided and abetted the Full
ton Brownies to make for themselves
the batting record of the Tri-City League
The locals spanked out IL singles
and a two-bagger ard cantered away to
a glorious victory by the juicy score of
6 to 4. Read the score, fanatics, and let
the husky boot of delight ring forth
The pedigrees made by the Brownies
yesterday will compare we'll with the best
that Mr. Lajoie or Mr.. Delehanty ever
unbottled on a ball field. Hits that fair
ly doomed across the commons. pesky
singles intermingled with husky triples
and slashing doubles were the features
of the day.
But despite the heavy hitting Of the
home team, it looked at one time as If
the game was about to go where the
wangdoodle mourneth, the boys from
across the river jumping onto the curves
Of Mr.. McEvoy with both feet, swattih@
the ball all over the field and netting
three badly needed runs.
The game was called promptly at 80
o'clock but long before this time the
grand stand was well-flled with people
anxious to see the conflict Among the
crowd were many ladies, and throughout
the time they manifested lively interest
in the contest. Many rooters from Mani
chester were on the spot, having accom-
panied the team from over the river, and
right Loyalty did they root, but twas no

Sition.
WERE CONFIDENT.
The Manchester aggregation were con-
fdent of victory, for they had with them
Charters. a star SALESMAN from the Caro-
lima League He had helped toss the
Raleigh team to victory during the first
half of the season, and was regarded
as a, world beater. 1t was freely pre-
dicted that the Brownies would do we'll
to reach the initial page. while the mere
idea of their being able to secure a safe
hit was laughed at by the Manchester
crowd
And while the curveologist from Caro-
lima may have been wonder in that
State. he proved much a disappointment
in Virginia, for before the game had
fairly started the locals fell onto his
delivery and pounded out three hits.
Sharp, probably the fastest player in
the Tri-City League. was the first man
to toe the plate after the umpire called

MADE GOOD.
Then a bad one came. and this was fol-
lowed with slow out curve. And Sharp
fell onto it. swinging his bat just fast
enough to catch it hard swat. When
the leather struck the ground it was

was safely anchored on second base
Great surprise.
McEvoy was the next man up and he
touched the ball gently. being thrown
out at first but not until Sharp was
smiling safely and serenely on the bag
SO close to homo.
Morgan followed with a single to deep

course to the professional pitcher. The
side was retired by Gathright going out
from second to first
Manchester was at the bat and j.
O'Hara secured a safe hit off of Mr..
Anthony, who was scheduled to do the
box work, and he made a rapid circuit
of the bases on errors by John McEvoy,
but this ended the run getting. as An
thony was taken from the slab forthwith
and replaced by the man who had made
the errors.
In the second third and fourth innings
the locals hit the ball safely many times,
bu. they were entirely too anxious to
make records in b.-se running and were
thrown out by Manchester's catcher.
Otherwise many runs would have been
netted.
With the score two to one against them
the boys from Manchester fell onto Mr..
McEvoy in the last half of the fourth
with sickening thud. They hammered
the leather for four safe hits. single,
two two-baggers and triple, the net
result being three runs.
FATAL INNING.
But the fatal inning was yet to- come,
and 1t did not linger lo1S. for in the
fifth Gilmore. the first man up. secured
his base on an error by Manchester's
third baseman, who played a punk game
all the way through. Sharp followed
with a single. but Gilmore was thrown
out in trying to make third on the biff.
McEvoy followed Sharp with two-base
hit to the center field garden, scoring
Sharp Morgan hit safely and McEvoy
scored Then a bit more rotten coaching
followed and Morgan was left anchored
at third.
The run getting for the contest was
over after this inning. but the star
pitcher from Carolina was not RESPONSE
BILE for it. for he was batted all over the
field with marked regularity. That no
more runs were recorded IS due TO the
bad base running OF the nome team.
They are sadly lacking in good coaching.

them up to the necessary standard
