But "a little" does not describe the measure of defeat by which we went down at both ends of the double header with Newport News yesterday. It was crushing, it was horrible, it was enough to silence the average rooter for months to come. The Giants have simply struck a losing streak, such as will happen to the best of teams and the only deplorable feature of the tragedy, is that it came yesterday, . when we were least able to stand it. The first game was called at 10:30 o'clock and fortunately only about one hundred . and fifty per sons saw it. Foreman was in the box for the locals and the score was nine to nothing against' them. Following so closely upon the shut out by one to nothing of the afternoon previous, it took all the starch out of Wilmington, and she followed it up in the afternoon with an adverse score of eight to one. Of the morning game we shall speak first. Foreman allowed seven Ship builders a free pass to first, twelve hits and a score of other unlucky things that allowed Ashenback's boys to cross the rubber when they pleased . In the first inning he fanned Deisel, allowed Gilligan to walk, hit Foster and both of them scored on Asia's single. Ostein fanned and Weddige flew out to War ren. Tp Giants went out in batting order, and in the second Hempleman walked, was advanced by Curiis' sacri fice and scored on DeiseJL!s-single; Gil ligan singled and Deisel scored on an other single by Weddige. Devlin got the only safe hit for the Giants. It was one, two, three order for both teams in the next four innings but in the seventh the Shipbuilders got in their deadly work for three more runs. Two men were down and Deisel singled and scored on Wolfe's two bugger ; Wolfe scored on , Wed dige's single; Foster walked and Wed dige scored on Ash's single. Old man Foster died going to third. There was nothing for the Giants. The eighth came on and two men were down. Curtis walked. Johnson walked and the first named scored on Deisel's single. One, two, three and the Giants were out, In the ninth, two men were again down and Ashenback walked; Ostein' got a single and another by Hemple man gave Ash a score. The Giants came up and made it nine goose eggs. SCORE BY IITBINGS. 123456 78 9 bhk NewportNews2 2 00 00 311 9 12 0 Wilmington ..00000000 00 6 1 Batteries : Johnson and Foster ; Fore man and Cranston.

Inability to hit High at opportune times and rank umpiring is the tale of the second game yesterday. The game was called at 4:15 o'clock. For the Shipbuilders Gilligan got a pass and scored on Weddige's two base hit to centre. Clayton for the Giants drew four balls but "Davy" tried a fly bunt, was caught out and the "Kid" doubled ; at first.; Stafford singled to centre but Sebring fanned. In the second Ostein singled and scored on Curtis' two base hit to right; High went to centre for two cushions, scor ing Curtis. -A double from .Clayton to Crockett to Stafford did not permit more runs and Devlin, Warren and "Tacks' went out in their order for the Giants. A single by Foster, a sac rifice by Ash and two bags to centre for Ostein; gave the Builders another run in the third,' while for Wilming ton Clayton got an "isolated single that did no good. In the fourth High went across on a single, sacrifice by Deisel, safe bit by Gilligan and a long fly to. left by Weddige. The Giants did all but score in their half of the inning on Sebring's warm hit to pitch, Devlin's being hit by pitched ball and asingle by Warren.. The score, how ever, did not materialize, Warren having been caught at second with two men down. .In the fifth a single by Foster and as error, of Devlin gave the Shipbuilders another score. ' The Giants came up and "Thack"got a single; McGinnis fanned and Allen was hit by pitched ball. Clark, the umpire, called him out (as he said) because Allen hit at the balL Allen was nearly paralyzed by the blow but. when he got a scent of that decision, he jumped to his feet and rushed toward the umpire. A goodly number of Allen's friends from the bleachferiea and grand stand went along with him, and would have made trouble for Mr. Olark hut fnr th I interference of several cool heads and half, dozen or more policemen. J The decision stood it was rank enough to stand and Clayton singled to right; Crockett fanned. Neither team could score in the sixth and seventh. In the eighth, Curtis went to right for two bags with two men down and scored on High's two bagger to' right. The Giants saved them selves the ignominy of a shut out in that inning. Allen drew four balls and Clayton was hit and walked; Crockett flew out to second, and Staf ford scored Allen on a two base hit tocentre; Stafford stole second, but Sebring &d Devlin were unable to get a hit In the. ninth, the Ship builders got another score on Wed dige's single, Foster's sacrifice, Ash's promenade and O'Stein's hit for two bases to right Hempleman and Cur tis flew out The Giants were -unable to do anything further, and the score was eight tobne.

"Where Thoughtful Melancholy Loves to Muse." That morning game was a stun ner. Did you ever see the like? Well, hardly ever. They out batted us, out-pitched us and out-lucked us. Now isn't Capt Ashenback a merry old crack a-jack! Even Ashenback admits, that-he is satisfied with a score of 9 to 0. The fight for the pennant ia be tween the Giants and the Shipbuilders. The crowd at the first game was "small but select" And it was very sad, too. The occupation of the rooters and the rooteresses was like Othello's. It was clean "gone." The Shipbuilders played High game. The Giants played low. Was it seven-up or pitch? Can you believe it? At Newport News we broke even. Here, at home, we broke all to pieces. Vorhees will "go in" to-day for the Giants and Ashenback or Wolfe will be on the slab for the Ship Car penters. The Giants suffered the most ig nominious defeat yesterday they have ever had to face. But wait "We'll see you later." The attendance in the forenoon was so smalb one could hardly see it Those who did not witness the game are to be congratulated. Wanted wanted bad-wanted this yery day wanted this afternoon a team that can and will beat Newport News. What say the Giants? "Leaves haye their time to fall." Likewise - ball teams in the percent age column. But we can't win all the time. 1 At the end of next week there'll be another story. "V The horse editor was in the game. He appeared in the . role of "The Knight of the Rueful Countenance" and made a great bit. And hits, you know, were what we honed after. -There was a vague suspicion yes terday that the aromatic" odor peculiar to a state of decomposition pervaded the atmosphere in the vicinity of the umpire. But they do say that "even the devil is not as black as he is paint ed." . Now this, received from therornir thological editor of the Raleigh Post last night Is the unkindest cut of all: "Wire me if need the Haryeyized steel box before Raleigh's engagement Better consult the piatorical committee at once If further umpire episodes are imminent If it comes to the worst Raleigh has an abundance of flowers for funerals. The Red Birds welcome you as percentage column neighbors." 1901. ST. THOMAS' SCHOOL. Thirty-third Annual Commence ment Observed Monday Evening by the Pupils. PRESENTATION OF MEDALS.
