Pine Bluff Wins Again.

1t required thirteen innings for
Pine Bluff to gain the victory over
Greenville yesterday afternoon: but
the number was an unlucky one for
the visitors, the Midgets closing the
inning with the close margin of one,
the score standing to s in favor OF
the locals
1t was a great game, an intensely
interesting and exciting game, and
the most closely contested one that
las been pulled Off on the local
grounds this season. Dcremus pitch
ed for Greenville and Dunbar for Pine
Bluff, and honors were about evenly
divided between the two. with the ap-
pearances favoring Dunbar if either
The little Greenville twir1er was
growing very weary at the close CT
the game, and began to throw wild,
while Dunbar gave no outward indica-
threw a better ball at the close than
at the beginning.
Manager Sample deserves the cred
It of having saved the game for the
Midgets. His batting was the feature
of the game, and when things looked
bluest for the lccals his big stick did
the work that brought the score up
again. With it he drove a triple that
scored two runs, a double that scored
two more, and single that came in
lust at the right stage CT the game.
He was thus responsible for four
ont Of the six runs scored by the local
team. The visitors got leary of his
batting in the latter part of the game,
and the shrewd captain OF the Green
Williams decided that he had rather
give him base on balls than run the
risk Of another one of his dangerous
hits in the last half Of the thirteenth
He tipped little Doremus, who was on
" too glad of it. and threw four balls
to first.
It all looked like Greenville IN thel1
first half of the opening inning. Prout
struck a foul out to first and was
caught out: Hoffman followed sui
with a hit to center and died in the
same manner: but when Weldy sen

Hon. w. B. Alexander is in receipt
Of a message from his sen, W. B. Al
eyander. Jr.. who is attending Central
university at Danville, Ky, announc-
ing that the latter had won the great
oratorical contest CT the university.
This victory carries with it the hon
or of representing the university at
the intercollegiate contest which VIII
be held some time in July. MI Alex
ander had to- compete with several
orators of note in this contest. and MS
victory is one that merits all the ap-
probation that the young man will re.
ceive when he returns to his Pine
Bluff home.
The message came somewhat as an
agreeable surprise to the father OF toe
winner of the honor IN a letter that
he received from his son some time
ago. the latter spoke of the forthcom-
ing contest, and intima1ed that he
might participate in it. but the faith
er thought little about the matter at
the time. and the subject had drop
ped from his mind.
Miss Lutte Alexander is with her
brother at Danville. and both will re-
turn to their Pine Bluff home next
Friday or Saturday. 1t is understood
that Mr.. Alexander will take up the
study of law when he resumes his
studies in the fall.
