The Marines were a jolly lot, and
their conduct was so gentlemanly that
they won the hearts of our people.
sold Red,'' who s'boosted" the boys,
was indeed a great big hearted, red
headed jollier. He made fun for the
crowd, and all of his witticisms We're
mirth provoking and clean. The Wis
itors Will always receive a warm wei
come in Manning. They play good
ball, but this was one time they tackled
a hard proposition. It was no fault OF
the boys nor their manager that
';Spot" couldn't hit a balloon.
CAMDEN VS.. MANNING.
The State League games opened
here Monday, and fairly good attend
ance greeted the players. From the
arrival of the train which brought the
visitors, the ''fans'' were footing for
their favorites The Camdenites
brought with them some lusty rooters,
and they surely did root after the
seventh inning. Julian Weinberg was
one OF these, and when he saw that
Camden had tough proposition it had
a 6opey effect upon him, but when he
woke up at the end of the seventh and
realized what luck befell Camden, the
sleep left his eyes, and put his lungs to
warm air.
The ball was sent over the plate
promptly at 5 O'Clock, and with the
precision of clockwork each team shut
the other out. The score board lndl-
Gated 'goose eggs until Geo. obi
orne hit two bagger, in the sixth
inning, and with the speed Of deer,
Billy Furman crossed the home plate,
making first blood for the locals.
The seventh was Mannlng's Jonah,
couple of errors gave the visitors two
runs. which had a dampening effect
to the extent that Camden scored i've
runs in that inning, bat Manning got
itself together, shut its opponents out
in the eighth and were themselves shut
out in the eighth and ninth, while
Camden scored one run IN the ninth,
closing with a score of 6 TO l IN favor
of Camden.
There is no doubt about Mondays
game, with the exception OF the sew
enth inning, being a most excellent
game of ball, and as good as any games
PLAYED by the National League. Rou--
mellat made a magnificent one-handed
difficult fly catch in center field which
made the rooters paw the earth and
the grand stand go into ecstacies. One

he is black
Mr.. S. W. Barron umpired, and in
his anxiety to treat the visitors square,
his decisions two or three times when
things were critical seemed against
the home team. Fritz Bultman was
called out on second base which ended
the game, but there is considerable
doubt about Bultman being out. Sew
eral who were in position to see claim
that the runners hand was on the
base before the ball reached it. The
decision was so close that the doubt
was given to the visitors. However,
Barron makes good umpire and with
a little practice he will get on to the
tricks of the game The following was
