"kIDDED TO DEATH"

We wonder if the august solons of the senate think by the above tactics they have Silenced the injunction and abatement law for all time They may chuckle in their sleeves at their nasty dismissal of this freak question, as they call it but they must not think their decision is final They fail to peer into the future and see the host of women whose purposes are high. who are working for God and country. and who dare to do or die.

WILSON WINS SECOND
FROM TARBORO.
Free Hitting Contest Goes to Bugs
BY ID to 4 Score.

Yesterday afternoon at Wilson
League Park the Tar Babies and the
Bugs hooked up in a regular held
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
! a 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 Dd1lS, Two SlOlSh anu
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 ,dll went through to cen
terfield, and scored when the center
fielder threw the ball by third.
Bennett was selected to do the
hurting for Wilson, and right well
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 a safe margin to work on.
The box score:
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 difficult one
to beat, and the young receiver de-
serves all the credit that can be Civ
en- him.

NORFOLK PLAYERS
RESENT TREATMENT

Alleging that they were handed
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
last 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 is 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
Ipearance 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 CT the
Norfolk club on disorderly conduct.
The daily times., 1921-08-13

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. 1t might not
be amiss to look around in their
own camp for a change.
The daily times., 1921-08-13

A few of yesterdays feature plays
in the order of their occurrence are
as follows: Noonan's nice catch of
Roth's foul fly in the first; Walker,
Martins and Roth's double play in
the same inning; Benefits stop of
the hard hit grounder by Leid in
the second; Kline's running catch of
Noonan's fly near the infie1d in the
third; the double play cutting off
the run referred to above by Roth
and Head; Corcoran's play on the
hard hit line drive of Walters in the
third. he having to make pick up
and quick snap throw to first:
Kline's catch of the fly hit by Brown
nearly to the left field fence in the
fourth; and McConnell's stop of the
ball hit to him by Kline in the
fourth.
The daily times., 1921-08-13

Two base hits-Champagne, 2; Roth
First base on balls-off Bennett 2; of

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 a fine and a suspension.
The daily times., 1921-08-13

The clippings from the Virginian-
Pilot Kun elsewhere m .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.
