wasn’t much cheering done, for Keith
was invincible.
Badin’s two runs came in the ninth
inning, when Stratton drew a pass, Efird
advanced him to second, Rees singled
past third, and Wake drove a high fly
to right which the fielder wasn’t able to
hold. Stratton and Rees scored on the
fly.

The Badin team has played three
games, winning one and losing two.
The first was with Salisbury, on the
Badin field. May 3. Ritchie pitched a
masterly game, and should have had a
shut-out, errors being responsible for the
runs.
The Score: R. H. E.

Salisbury 3 2 4
Batteries: Ritchie and Rees; Keith and
Brady.
The second was on the Badin field.
May 10. Badin outhit Albemarle, but
did not hit opportunely, and their field
ing was extremely ragged.
Liles started out for Badin, but after
a combination of hits and errors was re
placed by York in the third inning. The
same brand of fielding continued, and
Albemarle made eight runs from a total
of seven hits.

The Home Duty
A preacher sends this one, without
vouching for its accuracy:
Isaac had been drafted, and sent to
F ranee.
Jacob, his partner, distracted, had
^&sred Isaac to cable when he got over.
Three weeks elapsed. No cable.
Jacob cabled: “Isaac! Woe is us!
Our factory burned down ten days
ago. Settled with insurance company
for $60,000. Why don’t you cable?”
Three weeks more. No reply.
Jacob cabled again: “Isaac! Woe is
us! Our storage warehouse burned
down last week. Total loss. Settled for
$75,000. I am nearly crazy from grief.
Why don’t you cable? Are you dead?”
Three weeks more. No reply.
Jacob cables again: “Isaac! Woe is
us! Our main office burned last week.
Settled insurance for $90,000. I will
die if you don’t cable. Haven’t heard
from you at all. Where are you? Are
you alive?”
Answer comes next day:
“Jacob, stop that nonsense—spending
all our money for cables! I’m all right.
You just keep the home fires burning!”
