Wilmington drops to third place in
the base ball per centage column
and in that position is on an equality
with Raleigh and Newport News.
Richmond takes her place in space
No. 2 from the top.
Of course yesterday afternoon's
game did it the weather gods didn't
favor u with a shower and here's
how it was done :
It was in the eight inning and Wil
mington had the game with every
chance in her favor. Each team had
cored in the second inning and Wil
mington had scored again in the fifth.
In the eighth, the Giants had their
turn at the bat Allen had hit to short
a ad was thrown otft at first. Delaney
bunted to third and was thrown out;
Clayton had hit to left field fence
for three bags but Foreman was
thrown out from second, leaving him
on third.
Richmond then took her turn with
the stick and accomplished the ruin of
Wilmington for that game at least.
Warner walked, but was thrown out
by Manners' safe hit to short; Bishop
hit to left for two bags; Bigbie hit to
short, and Manners was thrown out at
home. Bigbie stole second, and Fill
man hit to third, upon whose error
Bishop scored. Traeger walked, and
8ffle hit to left field fence for three
bags, scoring the three men on bases.
Kain was thrown out from third, and
the side retired after four Richmonds
had crossed the home plate.
The weather was fairly good, but
a trifle too cold for base ball. The
attendance was about 700. and enthu
siasm ran high until Warren's costly
error in the eighth contributed large
ly to the defeat of the Giants. His
error upon this occasion, though very
disastrous, was partially excusable; a
baseman in that position at about that
stage of the game is invariably blind
ed by the sun, and though it is ex
pec ted that base ball men should have
cast iron senses and refrain from mak
ing "goo goo" eyes, Warren's offence
is the first and is excusable.
The game was called promptly at 4
o'clock. Warren fanned; Cranston
walked and stole second and third;
Crockett hit out to first; Stafford
walked andMcGinnis went out to right.
For Richmond, Bigbie hit out to first;
Tillman was hit and took his base but
attempted to steal second and was put
out; Traeger was thrown out from
short.
In the second Allen was hit by the
ball and according to the Umpire went
out; Delaney hit safe to right and was
thrown out in trying to purloin sec
ond; Clayton hit for a home run to
left field and the rooteas went crazy,
(wild is normal). Foreman fanned.
For the Grays 8f&4 hit to right but
was retired by a beautiful catch by De
laney ; Kuin hit safe to right; Thomas
filched second; Warner hit safe over
second scoring Kain; Manners hit safe
to right and Warner was thrown out
at third.
In the third inning Warren fanned;
Cranston walked, but was forced out
at second by safe hit of Crockett to
short; Stafford flew out to right. For
Richmond Bishop and Bigbie were
thrown out from second; Tillman
walked and Traeger fanned.
In the fourth, McGinnis hit out to
left; Allen fanned; Delaney singled
over second and Clayton to right but
Foreman went out to centre. Saffle
and Kain for Richmond were thrown
out from hird and short. Warren
fanned.
In the fifth Wrren was thrown
out from second; Cranston from short;
Crockett singled to centre and Staf
ford hit to deep centre for three bags;
scoring Cranston. McGinnis was
thrown out from the pitcher. War
ner and Manners for Richmond went
out from short and Bishop flew out
centre.
In the sixth Allen fanned; Delaney
hit for three bags to left field fence;
Clayton flew out to second and Fore
man went out to first For Richmond
Bigbie was thrown out from, third ;
Fill man and Traeger fanned.
In the seventh Cranston singled
to left; Crockett was thrown out
from second; Stafford walked
and McGinnis went out to
cecondV For Richmond Saflia walked
and stole second and third. Kain hit
to Warren at third, who threw out
Kain at first, doubling home and re
tiring 8flle. Thomas fanned.
' The woeful story of the eighth inn
ing has beeit tolpT and in the ninth
Warren for Wilmington was thrown
out from the pitcher; Cranston hit out
to centre .Crockett hit safe to right ai d
An Rain's fumble went to secona ana

plate. Stafford hit out to centre and

Notes of the Qame.
Foreman pitched a splendid game
yesterday much better than Bishop,
who did extremely' well. Delaney
and Clayton also distinguished them
selves and Capt Stafford moved up a
peg or two in the estimation of the
"fans." Crockett is always a favorite.
Saffle for Richmond made a beau
tiful catch at second yesterday, which
actually brought forth applause from
Wilmington's most ardent spectators
that's saying much.
It it confidently expected thst Wil
mington will win to-day. If so, she
goes back to second place in the
league.
There was no game at Raleigh and
Norfolk yesterday on account of rain.
Allen and either Thackara or Cran
ston will compose the battery for the
Giantsto-day. BfQs and Manners will
do the honors for the Grays. Holly'
wood will likely play left field for
Wilmington and Delaney will play in
right
O'Steen, from Greenville, 8, C,
will probably arrive to-day. He is an
A No. 1 outfielder and is clever with
the stick.
Portsmouth will-arrive to morrow
over the Seaboard Air Line from
Raleigh. Norfolk goes to Newport
News and Richmond to Raleigh.
Stafford won the handsome tailor
made suit offered by the Fishblate
Clothing Company for the first home
run on the Wilmington diamond. He
got it at Monday's game.

VERDICT FOR $6,000.
Mr. B. F. Penny Recovers That
Amount From the Atlantic
Coast Line.
IN THE SUPERIOR COURT.
Most of Yesterday's Session Consumed In
Argument by Coansel Case of Dortch
Vs. BannermsDO Being. Heard.
Some Qeoeral Notes.
The jury in the case of B. u Penny
against the W C. & A. Railroad Com
pany, after five and a half hours con
sideration, came into court at 10:30
o'clock last night and rendered a ver
dict awarding the plaintiff $6,000 and
costs of the action.
Extended reference was made to the
case in yesterday's paper and the pub
lie is perfectly familiar with the con
tention of both parties to the suit
The continued hearing was t begun
first thing upon the convening of the
court yesterday morning and lasted
until 5 o'clock in the afternoon. Tbe
defendants introduced no testimony
and argument was commenced by
counsel. Mr. Junius Davis 6poke for
the railroad, Mr. A. J. Marshall for
the plaintiff, Hon. Jno D. Bellamy for
the defendant Mr. Eugene 8. Mar
tin and Mr. Marsden Bellamy for the
plaintiff. In the afternoon from 3 to
4:15 o'clock. Mr. George Rountree

not bring in a verdict until last night

phoned for and he received the ver
diet in the absence of Col. John D.
Taylor, the clerk, who was too unwell
to be out ai that hour. The first issue,
"Was the plaintiff injured by the
negligence of the defendant?" was an
swered in the affirmative and the
second as to contributory negligence
on the part of plaintiff was answered
in the negative. The third as to
amount has already been given.
It is believed that a motion will be
lodged with the court this morning to
have the verdict set aside upon the
ground of an excess. It will, in any
event go to the Suprenq Court upon
motion of one side or the other.
