Lumberton Wins One
Game; Gives Ham
mond One.

The two ball games played be-
tween Lumberton and Hammond
last Tuesday and Wednesday were
very largely attended. Tuesdays
game was very good game, which
was won by score of 6 to U.
There were only seven hits made by
the home team, while Hammond
only made one. There were on er-
rors made on either side during the
game. The game on Thursday was
nothing but errors, while this was
due to a wet diamond. At the
beginning of the game the visiting
team scored at home plate which
seemed to be misunderstood by some
of the home boys and the boys lost
all pep, consequently giving the
game away. Hammond was given
ten runs while Lumberton only
taken three and from the move
ments and actions of the home boys,
they did not want the three runs.
