TUESDAYS BALL GAME.
Lumberton Defeats CIarkton In

Lumberton Defeats CIarkton in
a Good Game on the Local
Observation-Disclosures People
Should Rally to the Support of
Their Team.
Clarkton's baseball players
came up Tuesday and learned,
no doubt, that the Lumberton
boys are acquainted with the
game. The game was played on
the new diamond in northeast
1umberton, starting at 4:3O in
the afternoon, and lasted for
about one and a half hours. The
afternoon was very hot and
tie ale no shade trees nesr
the diamond, but in spite of
these Objectionable features the
crowd in attendance was large,
and the locals were frequently
'roIled", in their efforts to
gain the victory, by the shout of
many rooters, both ladies and
gentlemen. The game from be-
ginningto end Waslively and well
played, but the Clarkton boys
just "aint" in it when it comes
to playing ball with Lumberton,
the score, which was 2 to 7 in
favor of Lumberton, being suffi-
cient evidence.
The feature of the game was
the pitching, Smith for visitors,
and Howell for locals. Smith is
a good pitcher but hasn't the
speed or control that Howell has.
How Ii famed twenty and gave
two hits during the game, while
Smith famed only six and gave
four hits. Mckenzie, of the To-
cal team, did the best batting
Mr.. H. M. McAllister umpired
But aside from the game, lei
us come down to the town, OF
what should be recognized as
one Of the thriving cities of
eastern North Carolina. Where
: is Lumberton's sporting blood
or has she none? The ball play
ers of the town have had severa
7 good games recently and the!
say that they have had to &c
down in their own pockets to ge
quite a bit of the money necessa
. ry to defray the expenses of tn
2 visiting teams. Where, OIL
: where, are the people that TAX
. SO much pride in being recogniz
ed as a part of this thriving
city?-who hath so stopped thei
t ears that they no longer hear tn
= call for a contribution to the lif
and spirit of the place. Can
: be that the town is dead? No
: and never will be while the SUI
e continues to rise and set in it
usual place. Lumberton, in tn
a great strides Of its onwar
e march, has only stopped by tn
a wayside for a little snooze, dul
q ing the darkness Of a panic, an
