Caot. Harrison Hall, of the general
staff U. S. Army, was present during

HIGH SCHOOL ROMPS
ON BASEBALL TEAM
FROM WINCHESTER
THE GAME Is A RUNAWAY AZ
FAIR FOR THE HOME BOYS
FROM BEGINNING.
POUNDED PILL PLENTIFULLY
Visiting Boys Won the Admiration
of the Crowd by Their Gentleman
ly Demeanor and the Way They
Took the Defeat.

The ball game on Biddle field Fri
day afternoon between the locals and
the Winchester team was a runaway
for the home boys, the High School
pounding the pill when and where
they wished during the entire five in
nings that were played. The score
was 81 or % for the High School
team, while only one man was able
to cross the plate for Winchester,
and only three other men ever got
on bases, and they were caught nap
ping in eaah instance.
Ingleberger, the big Businessman,
made Connection with the horse hide
for couple of sacks and mana ed
to got aSross the divide while Muir
reil, Anderson and Smith were add
ing another quarter dozen goose eggs
10 the number already furnished.
Every man on the team played
good ball, fielding and batting and
running bases with more accuracy,
judgment and skill than they have
ever shown before, and while the
Winchester boys did not show up
strong anywhere, it would have taken
much more formidable crowd to
have even made them anxious about
the result. Had they shown up in
anything like their Friday afternoon
form the game with Petersburg
would have been very different sto-
ry.
The Winchester Central High
School came in on the train from
Lewisburg arriving here at 1850.
They had been advised that if pos
sible to come in their uniforms so
az not to delay the beginning of the
contest. This they did and at s
O'Clock they were playing ball.
From the very beginning the game
was a onesided affair, but the quiet
and gentler1anly manner, and the
thorough good nature with which
they took their defeat and accepted
the jollying of the crowd won for
them the admiration of all. Prof.
Mitchell brought a bunch of excel
lent young men with him, if he did
lose the game.
The line up was as follows:
W4nchester-Lynch, third base;
right field; Scott, catcher;
Irgleoerger. first base; Murrell,
shortstop; Anderton, left field; Smith
second base; Jackson, center field;
Gore, pitcher.
Columbia High School-Johnson,
short stop; Holt, first base; Hordi-
son, second base; Benderman, left
field; Minor, pitcher; McDaniels.
cacher; Page, center field; Redding,
third base; Jennett, right field
Erwin umpired the game, and made
a good one, his decisions never being
questioned by either side at any time
The visitors left this morning on
the II o'clock train for Fayetteville
where they are scheduled for game
this afternoon. The rain this morn
ing prevented the second game which
had been announced to take place at
$50.

SEATS GOING RAPIDLY.
Great House Assured for the Cecilia
Chorus Concert at Opera House.


Judging by the manner the seats for
the Cecilia Chorus concert were check
ed off at Hawker's drug store, Friday,
the first day OF the checking, people
evidently are DESTROYS of making sure
eff their seats Hundreds of coupons
were exchanged during the day. The
checking will continue until the eve
ming of the concert, Tuesday next.
1t is recognized fact that there
are few Door seats in the Opera house
for an occasion like this. The chorus,
orchestra and soloists can be plainly
heard in every nook and corner of the
hall. Away back in the gallery there
are good seats aud many times in the
past nave men and women who are
thorough musicians, preferred seats up
there. So those who have not yet Sc
cured seats need not be afraid that
even if the center of the house is all
checked up, there will he nothing left
for them.
The house will be sold out for Tues
day evening, there is no doubt of that
Patrons of the past concerts are be-
ing interviewed by the members of
the directorate. so that those who have
supported The affairs of the past will
not be crowded out. There is no pa
irons list especially, but those who
have been appreciative in past years
will be interviewed to see that they
are provided for this time.
a rehearsalSof the chorus was held,
Friday evening, and all went well. The
orchestra will be assembled, Monday
night, and with the seloists present,
a full rehearsal will be held. Miss Ty-
Ter and Mr. Kennedy are said to be
in fine voice and a treat of music is
promised for Wateryille at this mid
winter concert.
Tickets may be secured from direc-
tors and singers for the afternoon or
chestral concert, which promises to be
popular event No seats will be
checked for this, but an advance sale
of tickets is on to keep the event be-
fore the public.

Small of North Carolina that he had

called attention to the statement made
by Chief Engineer Wright of the fed

on the Everglades investigation had
heen DELAYED because he was detailed
to lecture in Mr.. Smalfs district.
"Fhe imputations which may be
drawn from the statement that there
was the slightest improperly in this,
or that agricultural lecturers We're Sc
cured for my section of the country
fer any purposes connected with cam
paign matters is utterly unfounded
