I.ast Friday afternoon Dunn an 1 Smithfield played theirsec ond game of ball on Turlington Institute grounds. The game was a very interesting one from the beginning. At the end of the! seventh inning the score stood s'x to six. In the latter half ofj the eighth inning the umpire called the game on account of! the rain, and, according to the rules of baseball, the score revert ed to the end of the completed inning. in the eighth inning, when the game was called, Dunn had made ! t wo runs and on this account the Dunn boys claim that they won on a score of S to <i. In the seventh inning Dunn's last man at the bat was Fitzger ald, who knocked a grounder which hit the runner, putting runner out and retiring side. When Dunn came 10 the bat in the eighth inning Fitzgerald was up first. As that was an error no run made in that iuning should be counted. The features of the game were Jordan's pitching and Randall's two base hit when bases were full, giving Dunn three runs. Batteries?Jordan and Ran dall, Ilines a id Honeycutt.
