enthusiasts, interest cen
tering in Thursday af
ternoon's game, when
! Southern Pines; reinforced by four -Pine-hurst
players, turned ihe tables, winning
12 to 8 in a game which was conspicuous
for its hard hitting and general " AValtz
me around Willie" quality and numerous
wild throws.
Pinehurst started the fun in the third
inning, scoring three runs on Smith's
cleverly placed hit to right, Gleason fol
lowing suit, and both players scoring on
Finnegan's hit to right, Firinegm mak
ing home on a wild throw to third.
Southern Pines made first base with two
men but they got no farther
Southern Pines made a good start
towards clinching the game in the fourth
inning, scoring five runs on four hits,
an error, a base on balls, a wild throw
and pitcher's error. Sumner started
the ball rolling with a clean single over
the second baseman's head, Morris mak
ing first on an error, Lewis' fumbled
grounder, letting in two runs. Fitzger
ald scored Lewis on a clean single to the
right of second, Eastman scoring Fitz
gerald on a two-bagger and later being
caught at third ; Kapitzke, who bad been
hit by the pitcher, scoring on Heisman's
single; Sumner's fly to centre leaving
two men on bases ; Pinehurst previously
failing to make good.
Pinehurst tied the score in the fifth
inning with two runs secured with two
men out, on a two-bagger by Norris, a
single by Finnegan and a wild throw by
Fitzgerald; Southern Pines failing to
score, although one man reached second.
Southern Pines clinched the game in
the sixth inning, with four runs made on
a slow grounder by Murdock, and sin
gles by Webber, Heisman, Sumner and
Morris ; Lewis and Fitzgerald going out
in order, both through quick work by
Finnegan; Pinehurst previously failing
to score. .
In the seventh inning Pinehurst landed
Smith at third base through a base on
balls, a steal and a passed ball, the re
maining three men finding Eastman's
curves impossible; Southern Pines, at its
try, pushing two men across the plate on
Eastman's two-bagger, Kapitzke's hit to
centre and Webber's long fly.
In the eighth inning Lewis' brilliant
catch of McBain's fly spoiled Pinehurst's
only chance to score; Southern Pines
adding a run ; Morris, who had been hit
by a pitched ball, scoring on Fitzgerald's
pop fly, which the sun hid from the sec
ond baseman.
Pinehurst made a big brace for a win
in the ninth, but three men were all that
could find their way around the bases,
leaving the team just four points away
from a tie and giving the game to the
visitors.

PINEHURST THREE AND TWO.
Strengthened by two star members of
the local or "Village" nine Fitzgerald
and Eastman Southern Pines gave the
Pinehurst team, a good run for their
money in Tuesday afternoon's game on
the former's grounds; victory being
snatched from them by a narrow margin
at the eleventh hour, 3 2, in one of the
keenest contests of the season.
From first to last it was uncertain
enough to keep the crowd on edge, a tie
score from the fifth inning until the end
of the game, capping the climax. Of
enthusiasm there was no end, and the
supporters of both sides joined in, for
there was plenty of good hitting and
enough men on bases to keep speculation
rife.
Southern Pines broke the ice in the
third with two runs made on bunched
hits by Richardson, Eastman and Fitz
gerald, and a wild pitch by O'Connor;
Pinehurst failing to make good on its
try.
In the fourth Pinehurst almost tagged
the home plate, but not quite, Smith
being caught by a splendid throw on an
attempt to score on DeRohn's single ;
Sumner waking the crowd up with a
hard hit to centre with two men out, but
ending the hopes of the Pines' support
ers by being caught at second.
In the fifth Pinehurst evened the score
on a combination of " rides," errors and
a hit ; the Pines' stepping back one, two,
three. 'Twas exciting, but without re
sult, for both sides in the sixth and
seventh; quick work at third by the
Pines' relieving a dangerous situation in
the latter inning.
Pinehurst had a good look at the home
plate in the eighth, with the bases full
and only one out, but it proved to be a
" so near aud vet so far," Gleason being
forced out at home and Bailey caught at
third; a brilliant running catch by
Smith settling the Pines' chances.
With two men out and bases full,
Bailey took the willow for Pinehurst in
the ninth, finding the ball for a single
which scored a man and won the game ;
the Pines' having previously failed to
score, Sumner's hit meaning second base
on Kapitzke's sacrifice ; Thomas failing
to find the ball.
O'Connor pitched a pretty game for
Pinehurst, allowing but six scattered
hits, to eleven for Sumner of the Pines ;
Norris and Fitzgerald doing good work
behind the bat.

I
Caricaturist Macloughlin .Entertains
Carolina Guests Happily.
To his intimates he is just plain "Mac,"
to the world at large he is Mr. P. S.
Macloughlin of New York ; but to those
who see only his artistic side he is little
less than a " wonder," and no guest at
The Carolina has ever provided more
genuine amusement than the person of
titles referred to in this paragraph.
Mr. Macloughlin is never happy except
when busy with his pencil, jotting down
impressions in caricature of people who
interest him, and these impressions never
fail to interest both the onlookers and
the somewhat unfortunate models, for
"Mac's portraits" are not of the charac
ter that one would care to hand down to
"posterity."
They are all right when one is alive to
deny their "allegations," but as "truth
ful interpretations" of "character" they
are a bit "impressionistic."
The Outlook is gradually collecting
a few of the choicest bits with the idea
of reproducing a page of them later on.
Don't shoot!
