Several days ago a crowd gath
cred on our streets and was dis
cussing matters in general.
the subject of baseball
came around and MajOr.A. J. Nc
Kinnon asserted that the graded
school team, which is composed
of boys from thirteen to sixteen
years of age, could defeat any
team of Maxton players that
could be gotten together. Mr..
John L.. McKinnon took up the
question and proceeded to organ
ize team and yesterday after
noon was decidedto bethe proper
time to settle the matter. 1t
seems as if the organizer OF the
town team was unable to find a
catcher in Maxton to suit his far
cy for when the game was called
a catcher with rep" imported
from Hope Mills, Musselwhite by
name, walked behind the plate.
Although the town team was
composed of experienced players
the school boys put up a good
game and it is quite probable
that the score, which was five to
seven, in favor of town, would
have been reversed had the man
ager of the town team stood by
the agreement to play town men
only.
