The Game a Tie.
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.
