Nine innings proved Insufficient to settle the contest and the game went twelve innings before the winnig run was scored. Aurora made their two runs in the first inning by touching Rivers up for a brace of hits and being as sisted by errors. Rivers pitched for! two Innings and was then replaced by Haynesworth, who pitched top- ' notch ball for the remaining ten in-1 nlngs. In the ninth Inning, with the score 2 to 1 against them, the Won ders tied the score in sensational manner. Burrns was on second base with two outs. Webster was at bat with two strides on him.

I In the twelfth, Pickett and Pow ell singled and Burrus poled out the hit that scored the winning run. The Washington fans were tickled to death with the work of yeung Sherrod behind the bat. The young ster caught an excellent game and he will undoubtedly be retained as a regular. He 6sn usually be de pended upon for a hit or two every game. Manning pitched fine ball for Au rora.

Call of the Cumber-* lands" b 7 C. Neville Buck Paramount Program MMIOM ? P. ? V Night 8 p. m. L.X. ?? _ _ __ TELLS OF WOES SHIPPED FROM HERE IN FORMER TIMES Captain Parvin Explain* the Nature of the Shipping from This Port Years* Ago. Editor Dally News, Dear air: When I gave yon the names of the sea-going vessels out of Wash ington from 1858 t<$ 1861. I did not know "that 1 would %e called upon to explain what those vessels carried to and from Washington. But some of my younger friends fcavo been to see ' rno since the publishing of that list and have mado the remark that they could not see whore so many vessels could get cargoes here, winter and summer. Now to ease tho minds of these "Doubling Thomases," I will toll them what those vessels carried from Warhlngton and brought back. I have seen put on board the schooner Horenden 2,000 bushels of corn for New York, and finish her cargo with cotton. She usually brought back from New York a car go of general merchandise. I was mate on the schooner, M. E. Parm ley when she had a full cargo con sisting of 1,600 barrels of pine tar. 1 do not suppose that there is a barrel of pine tar now In Beaufort county. | In those days there were several thousand barrels of the tar shipped [every month. A. A. Wlllard had one .vessel, called the Pocomak, running .regularly between Washington and J Baltimore, carrying tar, resin and jturpentino from here and bringlrgj |back general merchandise. Mr. Potts I had two schooners running to Haiti- 1 more and two running to New York I in the same business and he shipped a great deal of naval stores by othor I vessels. All of the cotton, raited in this sectlOB before the drll war, was car ried In sailing vessel*. 8. R. Fowle operated several tur pentine ?tills, manufacturing raw turpentine Into spirit* of turpentine i and resin. Joseph Potts and son op crated three etilia In the aame bus iness. In your paper of the 10th lnst.r yon published the namee of the ves sels I gave you as ships that "called" |ed at Washington. That "called" I was a mistake, for all of those vep Rals were owned by Washington men nnd were operated from here. In those days we also had three firms of , commission merchants here. They were John Myers * Son, George H. Brown and Frank Havsns. When I the vessels that were owned here could not carry all Uto freight, those oom mission merchanU would get the nxrckant* op north to MM tbra *4 ?... S. R. Powlo also ran several ves sels of his own and furnished car goes of naval stores for a good many others. Frank Havens, 8r., ran one large schooner all tho time, carrying cotton and corn to Naw York and bringing back general merchandise. Sovcral of those vessels that I gave you the names of. ran to the West! Indies. They carried out shingles, j staves, North Carolina bacon and black-eyed peas and brought back sugar, molasses, salt, fruit and guano. Other vessels ran to South Carolina snd Georgia, carrying ^ar goes-of oorn and peas and North Carolina bacon. They came back in ballast. Kansas, California And Missouri Are Ordered to Entrain \ Officials Wait for Details of Fi?ht Be tween Carranzistas and Americans. Will Take no Hasty Steps. (By United Press) n Washington, Juno 22. ? This morning, Washington was without official details regarding the fight between the Carranzistas and American troops at Carrizal. It is admitted, however, that General Gomez and many Mexicans were killed and wounded and that forty five or more Americans were killed and manv wounded. The first order of the day was to command the Kansas, California and Missouri militia to entrain for the border as soon as their equipment and mobilization is complete. Administration officials insist that no hasty stop will be taken and that nothing will be done until Pershing's detailed report is received and it is known whether an act of war has been committed. Officials especially want to know wh? started the Carrizal engagement. All reports received from the Mexicans insist that tlio United States troops were the aggressors. A message from Funston. received here this morning, states that it may be some hours before Pershing's report will be available, due to the fact that it has to come part of the way by courier. Baker and Burleson conferred with President Wilson this morn ing. Upon leaving, both said that "we must be sure of details as to' who started the fight If the Americans did, they must courageously admit as much, but if the Mexicans did. ? that is something else." About the most important point in connection with the matter is the disposition of tho troops taken by the Carranzistas. These, offi cials here today said, must be released at once and future develop ments may entirely hang on this issue. Border reports state that the condition in northern Mexico is in creasingly alarming. Tho worst feature of it is the continued arm ing of the natives. STORES WILL CLOSE 1 ON FOURTH OT JULY Matter Wasj^lnally Decidcd at Meet lug of RuninfMf Men's Awecia tlon Last Niglit, At the meeting of the Business Men'B Association last night, It was] decided to advocate the closing of the stores In the city on the Fourth of July.
