The Stab's press dispatches yester
day morning gave an account of the
stranding off Lookout of; the British
steamship Star Cross, bound from
Bru ns wick, Ga., to Bremen with a
cargo of cotton. : V.-
Friday night the Cape Fear Towing
and Transportation Company's - tug
Blanche and ' the - tug" Marion went
from. Southport to-the assistance of
the stranded craft. They were fol
lowed shortly afterwards by the reve
nue cutter Algonquin, which, went
down from this dty.
All of the boats arrived too late to pull
the steamship over the shoals at high
water yesterday morning, so waited
until the afternoon at 5 o'clock, but
whether they were successful or not
is not known, as neither of the three
boats had put back to Southport up
to 10 o'clock last night.
The position occupied by . the Star
Cross was a decidedly perilous one,
especially on account of the southeast
prevailing wind, but whether or not it
was strong enough to wreck or dam
age the. ship ia net known. - -
The following-press dispatch was
received by the Stab last night:
Charlotte. N." O..' June 29. A
special to the Observer from Beau
fort, . U., says that the -British
steamer Star Cross, from Brunswick
for Bremen, which- went - ashore on
Cape Lookout shoals yesterday, is in
about the same position as when she
struck. The wrecking tug Coley,
from Norfolk, arrived at 7 P. M. and
two tugs from Wilmington are there
endeavoring to float her. It is sup
posed that she can be floated by light
ering, but none ofae cargo has been
thrown off yet. The weather is favor

That's the Champions' record the
past week, and they are now perched,
serene and alone, at the top. thanks to
timely assistance of the HorneU, who
stung the Turtles good and hand yes
terday in spite of the shelL
Contention is one thing and kicking
is another. The former is proper in
iu mild doses when occasions, present
themselves, and sometimes' circum
stances even make some kicking, a
ittle kicking, necessary, but when it
borders on a constancy and that too
decidedly forte, why it is not only ru
inous to a base ball game, but it gives 1
the most patient and coolest "fan" a
weary feeling, near akin to disgust.
That was the only drawback to yester
daj's game being a splendid one. Not
the ideal, which is only realized
now and then, but a coodexcit
ing game of ball. It possessed
all the qualifications "gingery"
coaching, lively base-running, snappy
work on both In and out . field, while
the willow incessantly kissed the
sphere. Of course . there was an off
play or two, but perfection doesn't
always smile on base ballists, and
apropos of the kicking question it is
due Mr. Staley to say he umpired a
good, dean game, as he generally
does in Wilmington.
The .Tartars started off like they
really not only intended but "were
going to win. But that was the
trouble, they started too early, for
while they were dispensing their hits
all through seven innings the Cham
pions kept theirs up their sleeves
until the last three when they pulled
them down and presented them in a
lovely little bunch, -which netted
Leight. They also sprung three
beautiful double plays on the visitors
at critical times.
With a flourish and shout Foster
and Ash both obtained singles in the
first, but only the former scored, and
that was the only run tallied until
the fifth inning, in spite of the fact
that Clayton, Thackara, Wiggins,
Gettigand Gillican all obtained sin
gles and Devlin a two bagger.
In the fifth the Champions dropped
on the Tartars like a load of bricks
and with two bases on balls and singles-
by Clayton, Devlin, Sebring,
Thackara and Warren, ran up five
runs. ' "Z--""Z'; J'-'y-:
The fif th netted the visitors nothing,
though they obtained a single, but in
the sixth they obtained two," due to a
base on balls, a double by Ashenback,
and a single a piece by Curtis and
Weddiee. ' The Champions got three
ilneles in the sixth by Devlin, Crock-
ett and Allen, butonly one run. .
The seventh ciosea tne contest, as
the Tartars had to leave to catch the
train. In this inning the visitors got
three, after two men .were down. This
was due to the three bases on balls and
wild pitch by Allen, and alngles by
Wiffirins and Ashenback. The Cham
pions squared accounts by getting a
couple of runs off a base on balls and
two baggers by Clayton 'and McGin-
The Visitors did sret their half of the
eighth, but. it netted them nothing
save a two bagger bytPennington. We
started off in our half with a pretty
single b Crockett when time was
called.

The game yesterday was a decided
improvement on that of Friday, Up
to the fifth inning it was "nip and

Clayton and Devlin led in the
batting, each, making a two base hit
and two singles. Each went to the

Do not imagine for one moment
that the Giants will have the smooth
sailing this week that favored them,
last week. It will be "war to the
knife, and knife to the hilt" between
the Giants and the.Tartles. '
With a degree. of confidence that
was sublime Manager Bryan shocked
a Stab man yesterday with the asser
tion that when the Tartars came to
Wilmington again they would make
"us fellows" feel "like a two-cent
piece." Thar now 1 .
To-morrow, Tuesday and Wednes
day Wilmington and Raleigh will
wrestle for victory on the diamond of
Hilton Park and on the last three
days of the week at Wake Court
House. These games should attract
great crowds.
The "week-end ball" at Hilton
Park was very well attended. - The
number of people in the enclosure was
nearly five hundred, and there must
have been two hundred more, includ-
ng the colored contngient, who -wit
nessed the game from trees and other
(disad) vantage points outside. - . c
Referring to Devlin as Stafford's
successor at first base, the Stab ven
tured the opinion yesterday that he
would "be a prime favorite from the
start." This was fully established yes
terday- . He not only played his posi
tion faultlessly, but also did fine work
at the bat
Tartar has more tar in it than any
other word in the English language;
and as s the team managed . by Mr.
Bryan . represents ' Tarboro, or Tar'
river, the name seems appropriate.
Our office cat also calls attention to
the meaning of the' well , known1 ex
pression, "to catch a Tartar." ; I

"When the Turtles get a hold on the
Lobsters there'll be somebody wishing
it would thunder and it won't be the
