FARMER'S SlfiGLE
IIS FOR RALEIGH
Capitals Victorious, Four To

Fought Innings
MYERS JS INVINCIBLE
32,000 Spectators Witness
Thrilling Exhibition: Secre
tary Kerr Throws First Ball,
Mayor Johnson Behind Bat;
President Tyree Bats; Game
Featured By Pretty Fielding
With S.lOt enthusiastic and frantic
tana anxiously waiting tor the neces
sary bow to break a (-1 tie the open
ing nome of the Worth Carolina
league in Raleigh between the Ral
eigh Capitals and Durham Bulls went
. until two out in. the thirteenth frame
when Archie Farmer, of Wilson, I. L
and Ralelgh'a rightfteldcr. sent Dyson
across the pa with a neat single te
right-center for the fourth ana win
ning run. Dyeert had reached second
-after he had been walked and a sacri
fice by Manager Earle Mack.
Farmer e drive, was the climax of a
well-played and exciting game wnicn
was enlivened- from start to Bnlah by
sensational feature plays and consist
nt defensive work on the part of both
teama Ar ne time did the defensive
work of Che teama wabble with run
ners on path with the exception of
the third Inning when Citrenos low
throw to first allowed Morpeth to
score Durham's third and last run.
After that Inning it was nothing ghort
of beautiful fielding.
There will hardly be a better played
and more enjoyed game on the local
diamond this season.
No Regret Irr Playing.
One thing stands out prominently
and especially in view of certain atate-
menta to the effect that the tans
would not see as food baseball ae In
the past because of the Class C ruling.
Before the Class C" ruling there has
aever been seen such fast aod clean
playing in this city. Veterans have
aever exhibited such pep and ginger
aa the players on tha two teama did
yesterday.
In the early stages of the contest it
looked like easy pickings for the Bulla
when they aent three runners across
the rubber with comparative ease. At
the end of the third frame the score
stood S to 1 and the Durham fans
roared with happiness as they settled
In their seats after their demonstra
tion following the three runs. Rut as
the game progressed they were confl
. dent that. Mt wear the hurt OT the Bulls'
coring. Things began to look bad for
the Bulls in the third when Bob Cov
ington, of Laurlnburg, was yanked
because of -wildneas. Atkinson re
lieved him and immediately got his
team out of the hole by making Per
kins hit Into a double-play. Atkinson
worked fine until the fifth when Dy
aert. first up. drew a pass to first
Manager Earle Mack following with
a blow that .aent the ball to thefnce
in right-center and completed the cir
cuit ust behind Dyeerf with the tying
run of the game Pot the fifth neither
ceani was able to puah across the deciding-tun
until the big thirteenth.
Both Myers and .Atkinson-twirled ball
of a very high ordor.. "Chief getting
stronger and Atkinson seemingly get
ting a little weak.
Rotary 43a n ontee.
The actual playing was preceded by
special eeremoniea under the auspices
of tbs Raleigh Rotary Club aa an In
centive, firstly to give Raleigh the
largest opening day attendance and
secondly to ahow the visitors the base
ball spirit which prevails In the Capi
tal City..
That the Rolarians did the thing
in handsome style was the expression
heard Oft all sides. ,
A parade up Fayettarille street waa
the starter of the ceremonies and as
the well-formed Jine of police, play
era, fire trucks, and perhapa twenty-
Ave a ut oe carrying Rotariana. officials
and citlsena moved up the street that
was not a single person who did not
get that gej-to-the-game" spirit.
