AN EXHIBITION GAME.
Wilmington Professionals Played
the High School Champions 4
at Hilton Yesterday.
CONTEST VERY INTERESTING.
League Team Is No More Players Have
Beea Paid and Are Leaving for .
Other EAgsgemeats Some of
Them Will Remain Here.
Wilmington's professional baseball
club made its last appearance on the
diamond in an exhibition game for
the benefit of the players at Hilton
Park yesterday afternoon. The Wil
mington High School Champions were
pitted against them, and though they
played clever ball, a score of . twelve
to three tells how they' were' ouU
classed. Sweeney, Sellers and Zellers
composed th battery for the amateurs
and Clayton, McGinnis, Warren and
Frost each did a turn in the pitcher's
box for the Leaguers. Thackara held
them behind the bat
Though not brilliant, the game was
intensely interesting, and some fine
individual ; records were made. Mc
Ginnis made a phenomenal running
catch that caught the grand stand,
and Wescott also made a brilliant field
play. Zeller's work as back stop was
really clever, bordering upon the
professional.
The line up of the teams was as fol
lows:
Professionals Thackara, c. ; Clay
ton, McGinnis, Frost and Warren, p. ;
Dommel, lb. ; Devlin, 2b. ; Allen, ss. ;
Warren, 8b. ; Hopkins, rf. ; McGinnis
and Clayton, cf. ; Frost, If.
High School Zellers, c; Sweeney
and Sellers, p.; Watson, lb; Green,
2b; Chad wick, ss.; Sellers and Swee
ney, 8b; Heide, rf.; Mclntire, cf.;
Wescott cf.
Qood Night at Parting
Is Such Sweet Sorrow."
"Farewell, Brother Crawford."
Dommel left yesterday for bis
home in Pennsylvania.
The Hot Shots had no profes
sionals to help them out Hence the
unequal score of 12 to 3.
Good by, boys. In the language
of the immortal Rip Van Winkle:
May you live long and prosper."
The High Schoolers are a prom
ising set of youngsters, and with more
growth and practice will become good
players.
The High Steppers were Tearfully
outclassed, playing against the full
Wurahngton team; but they made a
plucky fight
The Giants had Clayton, McGin
nis, Frost and Warren doing their box
work. Sweeney and 8ellers pitched
for the Hot Shots.
McGinnis and Allen are still here,
and Thackara expects to return at the
close of his short engagement with the
Newborn club.
There is a very strong element
here in favor of a baseball league of
some sort next year, but it is too early
to speculate as to the outcome.
The applause was not at all like
the handle of a jug. The spectators
were very much divided in sympathy;
but every good play was heartily
cheered.
The salaries of the Wilmington
team were paidn full yesterday. As
heretofore stated in the Stab, Clayton,
Devlin, Frost Warren, Thackara and
Hopkins go to the Newborn team for
about a week.
The attendance was not very
large; but those who are "faithful
unto death" were there to see the last
ball thrown and the last run made.
One and all, they part with the players
with regret They have enjoyed the
games and hope to have a repetition
of the sport next season.
.BAD NEGRO ESCAPED,
Dnf His Way Oat of the City Prison On
Fridsy Afternoon.
Isaac Jones. the bad negro from
Navassa who was captured a few
nirhts asro after an exciting chase
through the business section of the
city, made his escape from the" city
guard house Friday afternoon be
tween 5 and 6 o'clock by digging his
way through a brick floor under a
door leading from the corridor of the
prison to the band room at the south
western corner of the building. . The
police kept the matter of the negro's
escape very quiet for the time being
with a hope of recapturing him, but
thus far all efforts in that direction
have been in vain. .
Dance at Seashore Hotel.
The last week-end dance of the sea
son was given last night at the . Sea
shore Hotel, and ..was enjoyed by
about fifty couples. ; The music was
by Hollowbush's Orchestra, which ex
pects to leave after to-day, its contract
having expired for the season. . The
hotel, however, will be open until Sep
tember 15, and any vacant room In
the building will be let, with board,,

THE COTTON SEASON.
Old Crop Year Closed Yesterday
and the New Will Begin
To-morrow.
RECEIPTS AT WILMINGTON.
Owing to Shortness of Production There
Is a Falling Off of Aboot 24,000 '
. Bales First Tramp Steamer
Arrived Yesterday.
The cotton crop Jyear for 1900-1901
closed yesterday and the new season
begins to-morrow. - "
The receipts at the port of Wilming
ton for the pat fiscal year were
258,654 bales against 282,360 in the
year immediately precedio g:- It is seen, '
therefore, that there ts a- facing ormer
the number of Dales handled here by
nearly 24,000, but this does not indicate
a decrease in the cotton business of the
city. The crop for the. season just
ended was a very short one and doubt
less con pa red with the production in
Wilmington's territory. The port has
received a' larger percentage of the
yield in the country contiguous than
on the year previous when there was
a more abundant production.
The domestic exports for the year
ended yesterday were 86,020 bales
while the foreign shipments amounted
to . 223, 705 bales. The correspond
ing figures for the year previous are
14,650 bales and 274,710 tales.
The opening of the cotton season in
Wilmington means a rejuvenation of
business in all lines and it is always
hailed with delight by everybody. The
first new crop cotton of the year came
in yesterday from over the W., C. &
A. railroad. The shipments amounted
to ten bales, bat from now on they will
be on thesteady increase and the com
presses in the city , will present a live
ly scene. Everybody concedes that
the crop will be very short again this
year, but there will be enough of
the fleecy staple on the. market in at
few days to convince the general pub
lic that not all the production has
been cut off. Last September when
the season opened cotton was quoted
at 9 cents for middling and this year
September 1st finds the quotations on
a basis of 8 cents..
The first tramp steamship for a cargo
of cotton for the foreign trade camein
yesterday. She is the Torgorm and
will perhaps take the first cargo from
a South Atlantic port. She is now at
quarantine down the Cape Fear, but
will likely come up to the city to-day
or to-morrow.

A VERY SAD FUNERAL
Remains of Little Marlon Marcblson Sprant
Tenderly Laid to Rest in Oakdale
Ye8terdayGreat Bereavement.
The remanis of little Marion Mur
chison Sprunt, daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. James Sprunt, whose very sad
death of scarlet fever at Asheville, N.
C, was chronicled in these columns
yesterday morning, reached Wilming
ton at 7:40 o'clock last night via the
A & Y. railroad and wefe immediate
ly 'taken to Oakdale cemetery and
laid to rest in Col. Murchison's mau
soleum.
The remains were accompanied to
the city by the little girl's grandfather,
CoL K. M. Murcbison, Mr. Fred Kid
der and Mr. J. W. Murchison, the last
named having joined the party at
Black Mountain. From the nature of
the disease with which the little one
died, the utmost precautions to the
public-health were taken, all details of
the very stringent laws having been
scrupulously complied with. The
hermetically sealed casket was taken
from the cars at the Ninth street cross
ing of the railroad and accompanied
by members of the family and a few
friends it was borne tenderly to Oak
dale. Here a word of prayer was
very briefly spoken at nightfall by the
Rev. Dr. Alexander Sprunt of
Charleston, S. C, who arrived yester
day on account of the very deep
bereavement visited upon the family.
The funeral, while very simple, was
exremely touching.
At 9 o'clock last night telegrams
from Mr. James Sprunt to his brother,
Mr. W. H. Sprunt reported that the
condition of little Lawrence, brother
of the little sister who had just been
laid to rest was unchanged, but all
were hopeful. His physicians say he
is seriously ill but there is hope of re
covery. Of course his condition'would
not admit of Mr. and Mrs. Sprunt's
accompanying the remains of their
little daughter home. There are at
tending little Lawrence, Drs. F. H.
Russell and E. J. Wood, of this city,
and Dr. Battle, a prominent physician
of Asheville. Three trained nurses
