Tarasir ta Six - A Zrg BTambrr of 8pta-ori ea lh Oraaadt A. Baoqoal Oiraa tba Ii ivbn Turn Zjtat Victtt by tba A. C I. Clob. Again yesterday tbe Newbern boys met detest at tbe handa ol tbe Coast Line team, bat tbey took tbeir medi cine like men and gentlemen, which is truly characteristic of all wbo hail from tbe Athens of the State. Tbe crowd tbat witaessed the game waa by lar the largest of tbe season, aod waa just as great in enthusiasm, which is always welcome by any home team. Our boys were in good bitting trim, which, coupled with coatly errors on tbe pirt of tbe visitors, was responsible for tbe busy time had by scorer Monroe and the vic torious yells of tbe home folks after the game, as they gladly realized tbe fici that the Coast Line Club had been. fairly aod squarely declared winners by a score of twenty to six. as seen from the grand stand. "Play ball!' bowls the excited fan! What yoa given at? ' tbrieked the in- imitable small boy; "What means this unnecessary delay in tbe commencing of the nine innings!' poetically remarks the esthetic youth from Borton are a fe of the phrases being hurled forth from the bleachers, upon which sat the impatient mob who have been aoxiouily awaiting there thirty minutes for the game to be declared "on." At last tbe expectant time arrives and Umpire Prempcrt, as punctual as asual. struts forth aod calmly remarks "Piay bai:i' The Newbern boys walk forth and gracefully arrange themsjlves-on tbe diamond. Howland ia again tbe mortal behind the pan. while Weedon is tbe Chinese juggler, wbo pro poses to tool em ail. uwiitney, as in tbe two previous games, is the first gladiator up, bat uafortuaately Bob fiils to discover the ball, and as tbe bat comes aroand ia its third iourn;y of 'try to be destruction," Unpire Prem pcrt vec ferated ' three stiikes and oat! ' Now s;ands lortb "boclcaiex.a Jjnniags Gal oway. and, by way of amutemeat he mik;ia clean bate bit. Fenner follows, bat gets oat, wbich is sometbiog de cidedly aaataal for Billy. Beldeo hits a warm number to Foy, wbo erred, and Jos goes to first, wbile little Galloway trots sereoely home, having siolsn tbe rest of tbe bases. Oa Oldham's hit o;Idca, who bad moved around on errors, scores j ait in time, as Ztllers hit to Stub snd out. Tae visitors now have toeir first time at the bat, and their first time to play Christopher Columbus and discover the exact location of "Wonder" (Frank) Bigg's left-hand swings, which are being stopped in a skillful manner by Gvalt ney. "dat chap who sure do play ball.' Tbe visitors seem to realize tbat the home boys will be at tbeir best, which although ssd is trae, for as yoa glaoce in the directioa of short an i notice Ga! loway's grinning countenance, which translated means ' I got your eye." and tbe playful attitude of Feaner. the reli able, as he coolly pices oa first and awaits the ball, which alwayssofily horns wheoever it comes to Billy 'I never care to wander." is a sight which will make most any team uacomfortable, to say nothing about tbat tired feeling, Heme again starts for Newbern. but is settled upon a bit to little Galloway Person, however, uses tbe X rays and lines tbe ball for two bases, and is moved up a peg by a safe hit by Foy Ltft-hand aluger Simmons comes forth aad proves that he is right instead of left, as he lines out a doable, scoring Person and Foy. Stitb pops a fly to right field, which Sinclair, not out of any spirit of meanness, catches. Howland lines a hot grounder to Belden. wbo fails to connect with It. likewise Oidbam in cen tre, and Simmons scores. Clark then retires the side by three vein efforts to fi ad the sphere. From this time oa it is one continual re.iga of terror for tbe vis itors, aod a big hearty laujta oa the pirt of the town jiys. Ia the second inning Scbutte, the first 'an up. struck out. but Sinclair made a hit, likewise Bagg. and then tbey both score on errors.
