LOUISBORC BASE BALL.
\ 1.
SICKNESS STOPPED FRIDAY'Sl
GAME.
Although the Boys Play Good \
Ball It Seems that "tuck" Is
Against Them?Franklinton I
Takes Two GamesThe
game of ball that was to have
been played between Louisburg and
Franklinton on "Friday at Franklinton,
was called off on account of the
illneaa of Mr. - S. Turner, one ot
Louiaburg'a beet players, who was
taken with appendicitis after Thursday's
game. He was taken to Rex
Hospital on Friday morning where
he underwent an operation. His
many triends will be glad to learn
that be is doing well.
The Franklinton team came over
to Louisburg Tuesday nnd took another
game front her opponents.
This game was interesting, owing to
the good playing on both sides, bnt
the Franklinton had the better of
Louisburg players on account of
the latter having some of its best
players out of the game and had to
play new ones. The feature of the
game was the pitching of Shore for
Franklinton,. and the fielding of
Tracy for Louishnrg. . This was
truly Franklinton's day as it seemed
that her men could touch the-ball at
any old time, and several two baggers
were knocked, while on the
other side it looked to be a hard job
to get a hit. The batteries were
Franklinton, Shore and Riddick;
Louisburg, Fitzgerald- and I'oole.
Umpires McKeithan and Davie. The
score by inning was as follows:
RUE
Franklinton 020 001 011?5 8 1
Louisburg 000 COO 000? 8 2 8
Louisburg went over to Franklinton
on Wednesday and was defeated
in another game by Franklinton.
This gave promise of being an extra
good and close game, but fate seemed
to have been against Louisburg.
The features of the game wae the
batting ot Prim and Stone, and fielding
of Frye and Stewart. Prim
made one exceedingly pretty hit to
center field, which looked to be a
Lome ran, but was out oft by the
fast fielding, of Hackney. Davis
and MoKei.than both pitched good
ball^ind^ the players generally did
well. Batteries, franklinton, MoKeithan
and Riddick; Loiiisburg,
Davis and Poole. tXmpirea, Shore
and Fitzgerald. The following lk

it proves the value of Anson oounty
