Perhapsthe most magnificent exhi
bition of baseball seen in the Yirgina-
Carolina League this ' season was the
game at Portsmouth yesterday after
noon in which . the Giants from Wil
mington wrested the honors from the
local ' team in the extremely close
score of two to one.
"Brownie Foreman was in the box
for the Giants and was evidently, at
his very best, for he allowed only one
Portsmouthian to claim a hit, while
the Giants easily got nine on Voltz and
should have piled un runs at a much
more lively rate than they did.
But the winning of the game is
enough to give Wilmington second
place in the League and Manager
Peschau has already served notice on
Norfolk that the "waters will be
troubled up around first place, when
the Skippers meet the Giants on the
field of battle week after next, if in
deed, some of the other teams
in the League don't, before
that time, reduce the 1,000
per cent, that the Norf olkites have
succeeded in maintaining since the
opening of the League.
In the game yesterday at Portsmouth
neither team was able to score until
the fifth inning, when there was one
for each side. The Giants followed
this secord with another score in the
sixth, and Portsmouth was unable to
do likewise and nothing but goose eggs
were chalked up on the board thereaf
ter. It took Baleigh ten innings to ad
minister the same defeat to the "Ship
builders," of Newport, but "King'
Kelley's boys finally did it, and Wil
mington was glad to know of their
good luck. .
The score by innings in the Wil
mington-Portsmouth game yesterday
was as follows:

leigh, Manager Ashenback of the New
port team, who is also a player, began
to "mouth about a decision in the
first inning as to the number of strikes
on him. Umpire Davis quickly re
tired him from the game on this ac
count.
The Wilmington Giants "flushed
with victory will arrive in the city
to-morrow. The Richmond team will
likely get here to-morrow morning or
evening via the JL O. L. It is not
known what umpire will officiate at
the game here.
Allen, who has been christened the

the Giants for the final game with
Portsmouth to day. t,Tacks is; a
winner and a hard worker. Virginia
sent the news out early in the. season
that "Tacka" couldn't pitch. "Tacks'
got the news soon after he came to
Wilmington and will make a desperate
effort to show them to the contrary.
He made a successful attempt in that
direction at Richmond Monday.

hearty applause.

nied by Miss Fannie Corbett, the Old

couples, and after the most endearjng
greetings took their positions on the
stage. The costumes were very effec

motto of the assembly, "While there
is life there is hope," was prominently
suspended. Of the many reports read,
the "market report," by Miss Tallulah

sistants were introduced there was
great excitement among the old maids
and the results brought about by the
