the police officers were abundantly
prepared to testify as to his assault
with a 'deadly weapon on various and

THE COMINQ THEATRICAL SEASON.
Engagement of Rsdolph aid Adolpb Last
NlgBt Cancelled Adverse Criticism.
The theatre season at Wilmington
for the Fall and Winter did not open
last night as was scheduled. Mason &
Mason, as co-stars in the farcical play
"Rudolph and Adolph" were adver
tised as the opening attraction but
Manager Schloss, who arrived Thurs
day night from Greensboro, says that
the company cancelled its engagement
here in order to reach Charleston in
time to play to-night.
Judging from the criticism of the
show in yesterday's Raleigh News and
Observer is is perhaps as well that the
date here was cancelled. Among
other things the News and Observer
says:
"As a beer hall show it would
doubtless prove a New York success,
but to those- who last night paid $1 to
see it there is 90 cents coming. There
was a real good German medley of
popular songs, some laughable situa
tions, with now and then a witty line;
but somehow the entirely-new musi
cal play part got cut out."
Since the cancellation of the "Ru
dolph and Adolph" engagement, the
opening attraction now will be Alvin
Joslin, the comedian, who will be
seen at the Opera House Sept. 16th.

Plain, Unvarnished Statement"

Association About Matter. -
REVIEW OF RALEIQH AFFAIR.
Wilmington Was Refused Guarantee sod
Not Allowed to Maiotain - Contract,-,
Says the Management Other
Notes aad Comments.
The Wilmington Baseball Associa
tion's reply to the aspersions of the
Raleigh Athletic Association cast
upon the Wilmington team through
a press telegram sent out by Presi
dent Wm. J. Andrews, of the Ra
leigh Athletic Association, on the
26th day of August:
The unkind treatment received bv
the Wilmington baseball team on its
last visit to Raleigh must seem so
patent to the general public that but
for the attempted subterfuge of an ex
cuse sent out by telegram from Ra
leigh on the 26th inst. signed "Wm.
J. Andrews, President Raleieh Ath
letic Association' we should not at
tempt anything further than what
has already been said on the subject
through the press. - The statements
made in this telegram are so unjust to
Wilmington, and so many patent facts
have been omitted by Mr. Andrews in
his argument for Raleigh's action,
that we beg to ask the following Ques
tions of the Raleigh Athletic Associa
tion:. 1st Will they deny that the man
agement o! their ball team had agreed
witn tne management of the Wilming
ton ball team that they would together
go to the city of Newborn on Monday,
August Z6tn, and there on that date
play one of the pennant series games
of ball, and that Raleigh, acting for
the two ball teams, had made satis
factory arrangements with the New
born people for the play in e of this
game of ball there on that date, and
had notified the said Newborn people
that the. two teams would be there on
that date to play t
2nd. Do they attempt on other than
purely technical grounds to affirm that
the Wilmington team was obliged to
remain in Kaleigh longer than Satur
day, August 24th, after having been
there for five days at their own ex
pense for. the purpose of playing the
first five games of the pennant series
one of which was ordered played
over by the President of the National
League, and another postponed on ac
count of rain for the purpose of play
ing these two deferred games! And.
that had the Wilmington team become
a willing party with the Raleigh team
in breaking faith with the Newborn
people, as Raleigh tried to force them
to do, will they further attempt to af
firm that the Wilmington team snould
have done so except upon a guarantee
from Raleigh of the sum of $80.00
$40.00 per game for the two deferred
gamest.
3rd. Will they attempt to deny, ex-
$pt upon tecnnical grounds again,
at when -the Wilmington manage
ment requested of their Association,
on. the evening of the 24th of August,
the guarantee of $40.00 per game for
the five days, as mentioned in question
second, the same was not justly due
and that it should not have been paid
promptly on demandt
4th. Will they attempt to deny that
after failure of the Wilmington man
agement to collect the guarantees, as
recited in question third, tne Kaleign
Athletic Association refused to pay
one-half of the gross gate receipts of
the pennant games played during the
week; to which Wilmington was right
fully and legally due, and that the
Wilmington team thereby was tern
porarily stranded and embarrassed to
such extent that they were compelled
to leave Raleigh without being able to
settle for their hotel expenses, and
without sufficient funds of their own
with which to pay their transportation
hornet
5th. Will they attempt to deny that
had the circumstances been reversed,
whereby Raleigh had been playing in
Wilmington that week with similar
adverse weather conditions, the Ra
leigh team would have demanded
from Wilmington the agreed daily
guarantee of $10.00 for the five games
scheduled for that week.
6th. Will they attempt to claim,
with their knowledge of baseball man
ners and customs, that they did not
know "the first five games in Raleigh"
clause of the agreement, on which
they lay so much stress, meant the
first five days of the schedule named
for the pennant series games! And did
they deem -it a just course- to try and
compel the Wilmington team to re
main two additional days in Raleigh,
at their own expense, to play the
postponed games, with the proffer of
the usual per game guarantee!
7th. As in their-telegram they ad
mit that the action of the Raleigh
Athletic Association was purely to
force Wilmington to remain and play
there Monday, will they now deny
that such action was totally unwar
ranted, under any conditions; that the
failure to pay the money rightfully
due was not only discourteous, but
that it carried with it an implied
breach of faith; that it forced upon
the Wilmington team and its manager
certain humiliations and hardships
for the time being; and that any pay
ment of money at this time does not
expiate for or excuse the rash act!
-So much in reply to this telegram.
And now for the facts in the matter
as the Wilmington Base Ball Associa
tion has them. They admit that the
contract entered into between the two
teams for the playing of the. Pen
nant Series calls for "first five games
in Raleigh," but they feel convinced
that a fair minded public will agree
that this implied that the first five
games should have been played within
the first five days of the schedule, and
that Wilmington should not have been
forced to remain in Raleigh beyond
these first five days, without the usual
guarantee for their expenses, for the
purpose of playing the postponed
games. As evidence of this having
been the general understanding by all
concerned the following quotation
from letter of Mr. President
Higgs of the League to Mr. Pre
sident Dick of the Wilmington Asso
ciation, under date of August 22nd,
will show. He says, "Answering your
esteemed favor of August 21st, 1901,
beg to state that the schedule for the
pennant series is for the first five games
to be played in Raleigh this week."
This would seem to entirely break the
force of Raleigh's technical contention
in not navinsr Wilmington the guar
antees, coming as it does from the
President of the League, and should
show beyond doubt that Raleigh was
attempting intimidation ana diujz to
wards Wilmington in the . matter,
wMh hitrail the individual mem-
hn of the team had pride enough
irt meet 'in . manly - fashion, v H The
WILMINGTON, N. C., SATURDAY, AUGUST
agreement to pay the usual League
fcuaramees tor tne- pennant games was
insisted upon by Raleigh, and she was
first to break faith in the matter. Wil
mington finally agreed to make the
guarantees, and had the five games
scheduled for-here failed under any
circumstances to net for Raleigh as
much as the guarantees for the five
days included in the schedule, the
guarantees would have been paid. Had
Raleigh gone to Newborn on Monday
and thence to Wilmington for. the
balance of the-week to have played
the schedule out, then .Wilmington
would have returned to Raleigh to play
the two postponed games, under the
usual guarantees, Raleigh's assertion
to the contrary notwithstanding. Her
claim that the Wilmington team
would not have done so, and that the
team intended disbanding after play
ing the first game here, is based whol
ly upon imagination, and is without
correctness in the whole cloth. If the
statement that Wilmington had ."quit
cold'' on its team means that it would
not pay its plavers bevond the 17th
in st., the date the League disbanded
and salary obligations ceased, then the
statement is correct, but in this Wil
nungton was attending strictly to its
own business, and we submit that it is
a matter in which Raleigh had no con
cern. The statement that Wilming
ton's team was demoralized goes with-'
out saying, and calls for no explana
tion after they felt that they were being
chiseled out of that they had honestly
earned, coupled with . umpire-assault
and bleachery-threateninzs. -
If the facts as above recited are not
sufficient. for public opinion to award
tne pennant to Wilmington by Ral
eigh's breach, of contract, certain we
are that it will not be Swarded to Ral
eigh. Far be it from Wilmington to
wish it on a "fluke." even though the
fluke" be at the hands of Raleic-h.
but she is unwilling to submit that
Raleigh has any just claim to it.
Earlier reply would have been made
in this matter but for the absence
from Wilmington until to-day of Man
ager Cowan, of the Wilmington team,
from whom it was necessary to obtain
some of the above facts.

MR. AND MRS. SPRUNT BEREAVED.
Death of Their Yonog Daughter, Marion

Last Qame' of the Season in
Wfcich the Professionals
Wai Participate.
FOR BENEFIT OF THE TEAM.
Boys Got Home Yesterday From Newbero.
Delighted With Their Trip Team f
Has Beea Disbanded and the :
Players Signed Elsewhere. :-
Wilmington will see its last game
of baseball this Season in which its
professional elub will participate at'
Hilton Park this afternoon at 4 o'clock.
It is safe to predict that the grand
stand and bleachers will be full to
overflowing. The game is for the
benefit of the players individually and
with a promise of good, snappy ball,
the "fafthful" should be out whb full
ranks. The team which will contend
agaiust the Leaguers is the Wilming
ton High 8chooI Champions, rein
forced : by a professional battery-
Sweeney and Gwaltney The oppos
ing battery will be Allen andThackara.
Manager Cowan and the Champions
got home yesterday afternoon from
Newborn enthusiastic in their praise
of the hospitable treatment they re.
ceived in the "Athens of North Caro
lina,'' In fact, so much in love were
five of the players with the city thst
they will return Sunday night to! play
a week's engagement with the New
born team against Tarboro and Kin-
ston. ' The first three games with Tar
boro will be played in Newborn and
then three with Klnston at Kinston.
The Wilmington team is no more,
having been disbanded yesterday. The
five players that will go to Newborn
are Clayton, Warren, Hopkins, Frost
and Devlin. Thackara and Dommel
will leave also Sunday for their homes
in Pennsylvania. Allen and McGin-
nis have not yet made their plans but
they may go to Kinston.
The boys have conducted themselves
very gentlemanly during their stay
here and it will be with much regret
that many of Wilmington's people will
see them leave.
The game to-day will be as a fare
well to the boys and it should bo cor
dial. Canvassers will be on the "war
path" to-day with benefit tickets to the
game. These will be sold at as much
an adyance over twenty five c-.its as
the liberality of the purchaser will
allow. A number of these tickets will
be left at Fishblate's for sale.
The teams will line up as follows,
and the game will be a good one:
Gwaltney c Thackara
Sweeney p Allen
Watson lb Dommel
Green . . .. ...... 2b Devlin
Chad wick ss. . Clayton
Sellars 3b Warren
Heide. If Hopkins
Wescott cf McGi nnis
Mclntire rf ........Frost
Substitute Moore.
Mr. J. R. Davis will, perhaps, offi
ciate ut the game as umpire, and the
contest will be entirely free from
kicks- '
Last game. Go. '
The game to -day will be the last
of the season.
The game this afternoon will be
called at 4 o'clock.
The entire gate receipts this after
noon go to the Giants. Help them
out
Give the boys a rousing atten:
dance. Positively, their last appear
ance. "
The boys are well satisfied with
the financial feature of the Newborn
games..
Dommel and Thackara leave for
their home towns in Pennsylvania to
morrow.
The Giants reached home jester
day and are long and loud in their
praise of the hospitable Newbernians.
So different from Raleigh.
All the cranks and crankerinaa,
rooters and rooterinas should go to
the game to be played for the benefit
of the Wilmington team this after
noon. Manager Cowan's official duties
will come to an end to-day. Hehaa
been beset by many obstacles; but he
has performed his duties conscien
tiously and with satisfaction taall.
It appears from the official score
that the wonderful cherub, "Tacks"
Allen, made a three-base; hit . in the
game at Newborn Thursday. . The
horse editor demands an explanation.
Hopkins, Devlin, Warren, Clay
ton and Frost have been engaged by
the -Newborn' management to play
with their team next week against
Tarboro and Kinston. . They . leave
here Sunday night.
Now that the season has closed
the directors find that between $350
and $400 is needed to settle in full to
date with the players. Of this amount
a large per centage is already sub
scribed and should be paid. To Coi-y
lect these amounts a committee will
begin ;a canvass this morning, and
those indebted are requested to pay
promptly as all the money must be in
hand 6 night New subscriptions
will also be asked, and the public is
requested to be as liberal as possible.
