Victories continue to come to the Pen
nant Winners.
Durham again got the worst of it in the
contest yesterday the score being ten
for Raleigh and six for Durham.
The game was a very interesting one,
though it would have been mere so if
the Durham pitcher had not delayed. He
was poky, and , hours, minutes was
the time record.
Umpire Proud prodded the Durham
players up once or twice. Once he called
down Curran, who held the ball for some
time, and again, when Pastor was at bat
in the fourth inning and the Durham
players passed the ball around he called
three balls before Pitcher Brucker woke
up to the fact that he ought to be pitch
ing.
The game see-sawed for awhile, which
made it of interest, and while Durham
led by two runs there was life and spirit
scattered about. The Durham team had
plenty of snap and ginger yesterday, some
of it said TO have been injected in large
dcses by Captain Stocksdale, who de-
serves a first class team behind kiro.
But for the nightmare of the fourth
inning Durham would have done better.
The bases were full, with one man just
forced in and two out, when Hook lifted
fly in lett field which Taylor muffcd.
Three men scored or this, and with the
one forced in made the four winning
runs for Raleigh.
Umpire Stroud is most efficient man
ager of the game and his decisions on
bases We're usually very good. On balls
and strikes he was off at times yester-
day and this against both clubs without
favor. Barring this he is doing fine work
and knows how to keep the game going.
