It was one that tried men's souls.
For six long innings not a man
could be sent across the rubber by
either team and 600 anxious rooters
and rooterinas sat nervously 'under
the canopy of heaven and the grand
stand cover and with bated breath
whispered to one another, "When will
they score."
Willig, .the new pitcher for the
Giants, made his initial appearance on
the home grounds and left a decidedly
favorable impression He was a trifle
wild at times but will steady down
when he gets fully into the game.
Bass did the slab honors for the Hor
nets and neither twirler yielded but a
single hit up to the seventh inning.
Then the locals jumped on the visiting
artist and pounded him not "un
mercifully" as the- stereotyped phrase
would have us to remark, but liberal-
ly to say the least of it. In that in
ning and in the eighth, he handed up
six more singles while three was the
best that Willig would afford.
A pass to Weaver, his force out at
second by Bigbie, a foul and out by
8 wander, an out, pitcher to first by
Murray was the debut of the Hornets
and Wilmington got Clayton safe on
Bass' error, and sacrificed him by
Cranston. Devlin was safe on Hook
er's error but with the bases full the
best that Warren and Sebring' could
do was to go out, fly to right and third
to first
In the second Knau was out, pitch
to first; Hooker flew out to centre and
Clark to left. Thackara was safe for
the Giants on Bass' error, but lack
of coaching allowed him to die going
to third. McGinnis out, second to first?
Frost to Clark.
The third had a fan out for Gates; a
pass for Bigbie, a single for Weaver
and a force-out for the same by Bigbie
with a fly out to right on a phenome
nal catch by Cranston for Swander.
The locals went out, Willig to second ;
Clayton on a fan and Cranston force
out by Devlin at second after he was
safe on "Hook's" error.
In the fourth Murray was out to
short; Knau, third to first, Clark to
left; Hooker having been safe on ex
cnsable error of Frost. Warren, out
to right; Sebring to second andThack
ara to short.
In the fifth Gates was out, short to
first; Bass to third and Bigbie to short.
Weaver having walked. McGinnis
for the Champions popped out to
short; Frost got a single, Willig to
pitcher, out at first; Clayton flew out
to right.
In the sixth, Swander drove out to
Devlin; Murray and Knau beat the
atmosphere. Cranston flew out to
centre; Devlin and Warren to left,
The seventh brought more "fans"
for Hooker and Gates, a single by
Clark and a fly-out by Bass to left
The Giants then sot strictly in the
game, Sebring lined out and was sac
rificed by Thackara, while McGinnis,
next up, was safe at first and Sebring
crossed the rubber on Hooker's 'steenth
error. Frost followed wiih a single
and "Mack" was thrown out (f) at
home on Willig's hit to short. Clay
ton stopped the' run-getting machine
by flying out to centre.
In the eiehth, Stewart relieved Mc
Gihnis at centre, on-account of the
sickness of the latter and Weaver got
a sinele. Biebie was hit and the two
were sacrificed by Swander and on
Mnrrav's fly-out to right, Weaver
made the onlv one score for the visi
tors. Knau was out to short Two
more rui s were produced by the lo
cals at their turn-with tbe willow and
a single by Cranston, a sacrifice by
Devlin, sineles bv Warren and Be
bring upon which Cranston scored
and a subsequent beautiful single by
Rtewart unon which Sebring raced
across the rubber after "Thack" had
forced Warren at second. Frost flew
out to left -
A last effort by the Hornets fn the
ninth consisted of a fly-out by Hook
er to second, a single by Clark, a fan
by Gates and a pop-out to pitcher by
Bass. . tc,

Not a Run Made
Until Seventh Inning,
It was a very interesting game.
The attendance was exceedingly
large.
Deerfoot "burned the wind" again
yesterday.
Every player was on his good be
havior. Kicking a lost art in Wil
mington. The man behind the bat, like ."the
man behindlhe gua,' occupies the po'
sition of danger. .
Not a run was made until the
seventh inning, when Wilmington
started in to win.
Harry Mace is a past master of
umpiring. He is the best ever seen on
the Wilmington diamond.
Willig is another good ope from
Williamsport which is so well repre
sented on the Wilmington team. '
There are now two deferred games
between Wilmington and Charlotte.
One will probably be played at each
place.
It was a prime day for the cush
ion vender. The rains had exerted an
evil influence on tbe seats, even in the
grand stand.
Frost improves with acquaint
ance. He is a good all-around player.
Crockett made no mistake in recom
mending him.
The Giants play, three games in
Tarboro and the Turtles play three
games here this week. The . former
leave here this morning.
- "Cold drinks, cigars, cigarettes,
ehe wing gum," is the plaintive ditty
that is sung at intervals of three min.
utee. It is very inspirine.
The successful chase of a long fly
to right field by Reddy Cranston, mak
ing it necessary for him to run under
the rail near the gate, elicited a storm
of applause.
The grounds were too wet for the
first game scheduled. The miniature
lakes had to be baled out and other
work done to prepare the diamond for
the 4.30 game.
If the present excitement ovtr the
voting contests does net wane it is
probable that one hundred dollars will
be realized from this feature of the
lawn party alone.
Remember the dates for the lawn
party, next Thursday and Friday
nights. The Raleigh team will be
hereto enjoy the occasion with the
Wilmington boys.
No better man for President of
the North Carolina ' Baseball League
could have been found in the State
than Mr. Sherwood Higgs, of Raleigh.
He subordinates the ornamental to the
useful.

Stafford got two hits in the same game
out of four times up.
The following press dispatch was
received last night:
haleigh. jn. U., July 13 No came
between Tarboro and Raleigh here to
day on account of rain.- Tarboro has
signed Kemmer for first base. Kelly
goes North to secure a short stop for
Raleigh.
Umpire Harry Mace, who has
been with us for this series, has given
universal satisfaction and made it
possible for Wilmington to have per
fectly clean ball. He leaves this
morning for Raleigh but will return
the last part of this week for the games
here. Umpire Fleming will officiate
at Tarboro.
The horse editor mysteriously dis
appeared this moruine. There is a
suspicion that he has. gone West again,
but not via the K. S. Until he re
turns his duties as V. P. will be dis
charged by Nixon Davis, Ed. Battle,
-and the rollicking religious reporter of
the Star. They know just as much
about a base on balls, a shet-out, a
balk and a block as he does.
THE BASEBALL BAZAAR.
Meetlnr of All Ladies Interested at Elks'
Temple Monday Afternoon Cake
Won by Mr. Davis.
The ladies who so successfully man
aged the baseball fete at the W. L. I.
armory night before last have now
turned all their attention to the bazaar
sor Thursday and ' Friday nights of
this week and a greater success than
ever is assured.
It was found yesterday that the net
proceeds of the event Friday night
were something like $60 instead of $40
as published heretofore. . A handsome
cake donated by Mrs. Jos. H. McRee
was contested for at the store of the
Johnson Dry Goods Company yester
day afternoon and was won by Mr.
N. N. Davis.
A meetinsr of the ladies who are
arranging for the Bazaar will be.held
at the Elks' Temple to-morrow after

The tents are pitched on the north
side of the Garrison, the beauty spot
of Southport,. with the company streets
running .east and west. The drill,
grounds are about twenty-five yards
from the camp, covering about four
acres of level, grassy land.
Arriving about 12 o'clock Wednes
day, we consumed the balance of the
day in getting the camp in order. "The
Fourth" was a great day in the history
of Southport, an account of which has
already appeared in this paper. We
were asked to lead the grand parade,
but on account of our ignorance of
the plan of the city and the names of
the streets, Colonel asked that the
band be given first place. The parade
was a success from stat to finish. We
had dress parade late in the afternoon
before a crowd of not. less than 2,000
people.
Tbe succeeding days, eacb accom
panied by a night of pleasure on the
garrison with the lovely eirls of
Southport, passed by on wings of the
wind, regardless of tne inclement
weather, until now the last day of
our fourth encampment presents it
self to us with all of its sorrow and
sadness Even the elements are in
sympathy with us, for while this is
being written the sky is weeping lor
all it is worth.
Before closing it becomes us to
mention the treatment we have re
ceived at-the hands of the people of
Southport, especially the girls. The
favors, attention and kindness shown
us. and their endeavors to make our
stay as pleasant as possible, could not
be bettered anywhere.
Hip! Hip!! Hurrah!!! Tnree
cheers for Southport! The same for
the Boys' Brigade 1 1 And a tiger for
the girls!!! C. C. L.
