WILSON WINS SECOND
FROM TARBORO. }.
Free Hitting Contest Goes to Bugs
BY IA to Score.

| Yesterday afternoon at Wilson
League Park the Tar Babies and the
Bugs hooked up in "a regular field
meet, with the Bugs securing four
teen points to the Tar Babies four.
In the matter of base knocks the
count stands seventeen to eight ia
voring the home town.
The fielding of Kline and Miller,
and the two double plays executed
by the Wilson team featured the
game on the defensive for Wilson,
while the hitting of the entire team,
but in particular that of Martin,
Smith, Head and Bennett with three
:; to the credit of every one of these,
+, featured the offensive. Every man on
the team secured at least one run, and
they ran wild on the bases securing
total of five steals to their credit.
Carroll started operations for the
Tarboro clan and lasted but one in
ming. When the smoke had cleared
Wilson had sent nine men to bat for
total of We runs and four hits; two
bases on balls, two stolen bases, and
an error aided in the scoring. Wood
burn relieved Carroll in the second
and got by in good style for four in
nings. In the sixth, however, the
Bugs nickcd his delivery for two
runs; in the seventh they made just
exactly one half dozen, and in the
eighth the last. They secured two
in the second, two hits in the fourth,
four in the sixth and five in the sew
enth In the eighth inning Roth walk
ed, stole second, continued to third
when the ,all went through to cen
tertield, and scored when the center
fielder threw the ball by third.
Bennett was selected to do the
hurting for Wilson, and right we'll
did he hurl. Never for a moment was
he in danger, and after the third he
took things rather easy. The hitting
and fielding of the team back of him
gave him safe margin to work on.
The bcx score:
The daily times., 1921-08-13

NORFOLK PLAYERS
RESENT TREATMENT

Alleging that they were handed a
raw deal'' at the close of the game
| in Portsmouth yesterday afternoon
when the entire team was placed un-
der arrest and escorted to the police
station, the bulk of the Tar players
ilast night vowed that so far as they
are concerned, the remainder of the
series is off. In fact, all but two of
the players brought their uniforms
and baseball equipment home with
them following their release. They
claim that the entire team is united
in its decision to refuse to show up
at the Portsmouth Park this after
noon for the second battle of the
series.
Told by the Norfolk management
that such action would mean the sus-
pension of every man refusing to re-
port, the men are said to have de-
clared that such action was imma-
terial to them, that they were ready
and willing to accept it rather than
again subject themselves to the dan
ger of alleged unfair treatment
Aside from the merits of the case
which led to the arrest of the team,
the players were incensed by the fact
that they were held for more than
an hour in the Portsmouth police sta
tion in their wet uniforms, became
chilled and sore through and through
before they were able to get to the
showers and change to street clothes.
1t seems that the technicality of the
law, which requires that bonds for ap-
pearance in court must be furnished
by some bondsman with real estate
in the city, caused the players to be
unduly held.-The Norfolk Virginia
ian-PilOt.
1t is understood that the arrest OF
the twelve followed the taking into
custody of Howard G. Burkett cf the
Norfolk club on disorderly conduct.
The daily times., 1921-08-13

Head again had a great day with
the stick. Up five times he secured
three hits, one going for the circuit,
made two runs, and caught a per-
feet game In the last sixteen times
at bat Head has secured ten safe
hits and has scored six runs; in addi-
tion he has batted for six of his team
mates. This record is a difficult one
to beat, and the young receiver de-
serves all the credit that can be CIV
en- him.

The clippings from the virginian-
Pilot run elsewhere IN .oday's paper
form interesting reading. 1t may
be that the ball players were to
blame to the extent that the Ports
mouth policemen would have others
think but it does seem that rather
drastic action was taken to say the
least.
The daily times., 1921-08-13

Smith was up the same number of
times and did just exactly what Mar
tin got credit for. He secured a walk
and three hits, with run sand
wiched in between his other perform
ances.

Notice was received by the local
club this morning that First Base
man Roth's fine had been reduced
from 500 to $50. Bradley stated
that any player in the Virginia
League assaulting an umpire will re
ceive both fine and a suspension.

Of course Burkett

Of course Burkett is to be con-
demned for disorderly conduct such
as reported and punishment should
follow. Ball players nor fans should
be permitted to use language that
is Objectionable to ladies in the
stands; rowdyism of any kind
should be discouraged at all times;
but it does seem that the Portsmouth
cops are always just a little more
than anxious to hop on players rep
resenting other towns. It might not
be amiss to look around in their
own camp for a change.
The daily times., 1921-08-13

Miller got two hits and Kline one
out of two. Each of these men Sc
cured two runs and they both had
good days in the field.
The daily times., 1921-08-13

Babe Ruth continues his terrific
slugging. He is now nine days
ahead of his 1920 record, and has
only ten more circuit drives lacking
to tie his record. He has something g
more than a month yet in which to
secure this number, and it is hardly
likely that he will fail.
The daily times., 1921-08-13

This is particularly true when in
the third inning Tarboro had scor-
ed one run and had the bases choked.
Corcoran hit hard grounded to
Roth, and he didn't do a thing but
throw the ball to Head in time to
catch Wolf coming home; Head then
sent it back to Roth and Corcoran
was retired. 1t was wonderful
play and the double killing stopped
the scoring. To tell the truth about
the matter Roth has never played
better game than he has been dis
playing of late. In fact his work has
featured practically every game dur
ing the past few weeks, aud it has
been consistently brilliant all sea-
son.

While Pee Dee didn't get a hit
he sent in one of the runs by slam

Aside from the above Benefits s
pitching, the work of Kline and Mill
er in the outfield, and the two double
plays made by Wilson featured on
the defensive. The hitting of the

the game on the offensive.

Yesterdays game saw a nice bit
of pitching on the part of Bennett.
He had a world of stuff and seem
ingly did not have to expert himself
to any appreciable extent. In the
first and second innings he was alb
solutely unhittable, but after Wilson
had begun hostilities in the first by
scoring five runs he could afford to
relax somewhat, and this very likely
accounts for the eight hits he al
lowed. 1t is true that his support
was slightly less perfect than has
been accorded other twirlers during
the past day or so, but in the pinches

The Original Story Of
Georges Throwing Power

had been heard to say that he had
often seen George throw stone
across the Rappahannock at the lower
ferry at Fredericksburg, and Col
Willis is reported as saying also that
"it would be no easy matter to find a
man nowadays who could do that"
George Washington as boy was
also strong, fast runner, according
to reports. Parson Weems, in his
first biography, published this mar
rative. which he says was given to
him by John Fitzhugh of Choptank
which is in Virginia about fifty miles
down the Potomac from Washington:
I'VE had nobody hereabout who could
come near him (Washington) There
was young Langhorne Dade of West
moreland. confounded. clean made,
tight-built young fellow. and a mighty
swift runner. too; but, then, he was no
match for George. Iangy' did not like
to give it up and would brag that he
sometimes brought George to a 'tie,' but
l believe he was mistaken. for l have
seen them run together many a time
and George always beat him easy
enough"
Parson Weems. telling of the school
Ing of Washington, says that George
never learned a syllable of Latin, but
that he was good at writing, spelling,
ing. bookkeeping and geography. While
at school he was opposed to fighting,
often parted other boys when thy
fought and often reported them to the
schoolmaster for fighting, earning the
ill-will of some Of his schoolfellows by
this "goody-goody" conduct. He and
the other boys played soldier a good
deal, but no especial significance should
be given to that, because nearly all boys
play soldier and then grow up into mild
civilians without any noteworthy mar
tial ardor.
