Mr. Ames, In company with Ray Her

being among the excursionists and had
gone down town early to set seat on
the boat. Both the young men got on
the Eastland little after o'clock. but
the boat was so crowded even at that
time that they could not secure seats.
and so decided to get off. Mr.. Ames
said the officials did not want to let
them off at first. saying that they ex-
pected at least 200 more people on
board the Eastland. Finally. however.
they disembarked and got on the The

minutes, and the second combat was
staged IN drizzling rain which made
the field slippery and the ball hard to

Great Battle Of Pitchers.
The main attraction was the pitching
duel between Garrett and Beard, with
the former having shade on the An
son moundsman in the matter Of hits
only. Garrett held the home outfit to
three blows while the Claydiggers were
credited with seven from Boards de-
livery.
Garrett held the Ansons hitless until
the sixth, when Sears ruined spotless
record by slamming out a clean double.
Up to that point Durham was the only
Ansonian to get on the pathways, going
to first on passes, and getting as far
as second once, assisted by Glass sac
