This game; lost year they did not win a game; last year they did win a game. The record is still more glorious In view of the fact that Washington did not pick out her easy opponents. Two of our victories came from our sister and larger town.: New Bern. Two others came from llsabeth City whose population and census are considerably larger than Washington's. The fifth game was taken from Greenville on her home grounds. When the season opened for practice Washington had only four of her I last year's squad upon which to build i a team- Neither pitcher nor catch- j er was back in school.
