It was' iy the sheerest luck that the boys ost to New Bern last Tuesday, the ;amo being a see-saw contest until he seventh when New Bern succeed-' 3d in scoring four runs. Washington, however, has as good a team as my Hlg'.i school In Eastern North Carolina, and barring tho balloon astension In New Bern, have shown ip very creditably. Jim Weston will probably be in he box for the locals, while MacSor. cy, New Bern's star twlrler, will ontest with him for mound honors.
