HENDERSON
DEFEATS LOUISBURG
Splendid Game of Ball Friday
l*<Ul?^?rg Loses Flitst Game of Sea
soil Hendtnoi Has Spleadld Team;
Williamson Hm Spectuoalar Ex
perience
Although Louisburg lost the first
game of the season to Henderson on
last Friday afternoon when the two
clubs played a fast and most interest
ing game of ball at the fair grounds,
tliey put on a stubborn and determ
ined fight, making the winners work
for the lead they got.
The visitors brought a splendid
team, well drilled and played a clean
and pretty game. Each player show
ed evidence of being expert in his po
sition.
The Louisburg team was made up
entirely of home . boys, who had not
taken part in playing in so long they
had to readjust themselves. But the
readjustment was swift as they put
up a game and stubborn fight. It was
only by accident that the visitors were
allowed to score, ^len pitched a nice
game until he was relieved by Hayes
In the eighth. Hayes pitched good
ball but did not have time enough to
get warmed up. Whitaker caught a
nice game. Williamson made a spec
tacular play when he put out a whole
side by catching three flies in center
field in succession. The other play
ers all did well and with a little more
practice will develop a team work
that will be hard to get a ball through.
The lice up was as follows:
Hendeson?Riggan s; Winston, 2b;
Powell 3b; Langley rf; Roberson lb;
I May field, J c ;Brlnkley cf; May field
j L If, Alston p. Alston was relieved

I Williamson cf; Whitaker c; Burgess
frf; Allen, J. p; Hale 2b, Lynch 3b;
Hayes If; Allen, J., was relieved in
the eighth by Hayes whose left field
position was filled by Murphy.
The score by innings was as fol
lows;
Henderson - 100 020 202?7
Louisburg 1 000 000 200?2
The batteries were Henderson: Al
ston, Finch and Mayfleld. Louisburg:
Allen, Hayes and Whitaker. Umpires:
Malone and McKlnne.
Quite a good crowd was present,
bat not as many as should have been
to give the boys the proper encourage
ment.
