Wilmington, N. C, July 20. Special.
The Red Birds gave the Lobsters a sec
ond drubbing today and sailed them
down to the tail end of the procession.
Sad faces and Jieavy-hearis portray thejleag-ae
feelings of Lobsterites at this time, lor
sters today and had little trouble in
for fair. One victory this Aveck and
That a fluke is their record for thepast
six days.
The Birds played all around .the Lob
sters today and had little troubble in
winning. Sweeny, a local twirler, did
well for the home team, but their game
was yellowish and dumb. Stocksdale
handled the sphere splendidly and was
given magnificent snpport. Kelly's crew
stole bases at will "and pranced all
around their opponents in a scientific
interpretation of " the -national game.
The first two runs made by the Bed j
Birds resulted without a hit. But as
they didn't need hits they didn't make
them. Mr. Sweeny was a perfect puzzle
up until the sixth spasm, but as the
game took oa age, the visitors began to
Hraishten with better success the curves
ct the pitcher with the Irish name.
Stocksdale pitched superbly and at
do stage of the game were the Lobsters
a serious factor to be considered. Bill
"D" shot em down to second with all the
success of a skilled marksman. A lad
named Stanley, who has given the ma
jority of the pitchers in the league their
troubles, put up a gilt edge article of
ball, ell ran bases like a deer, pulled
down hard ones in the field, tantalized
Mr. Sweeny for free passes and swatted
a double that counted in the harvest of
runs.
There was a drizle of rain during the
game and the weather was very threat- J
et'ing . Some 250 people saw the Lob-i
sters slide to the bottom. Both captains
were on the sick list, and Sorber filled
Kei's shoes, while Devlin acted in a like
capacity for Clayton.
The Red Birds scored their first run
in the second. Stanley was transported
t first, stole second and third and
scored on a wild throw by Thackera to
tin third sack.
The Lobsters made their lonesome run
in the same inning. Warren reaching
first by the free pass route, stealing
second and scoring on Thackera's sin
gle. Devlin presented the Red Birds with
their second tally in the third. Stocks
dale was passed to first, stole second,
advanced on Powers' infield hit and
scored on Devlin's error of Atz hit.
In the sixth Sweeny and Frost hit
safely, but both men were retired on
clever work before they reached second. I
in the seventh after having. reached first
on Hennager's error Devlin was caiight
at the plate, while trying to score tVoci
second on Sebring's single...
-The Red Birds put a castiron cinch on
the game in the ninth. Sorber sineled
and scored on Stanley's corkins, two
base hit to center. .

" The Red Birds on top and the Lobsters
at the tail end. A sad story for Lob
sterville. i ,
The Lobsters have won one game in
a week, and are crowding "the 300."
The Red Birds are hack in their proper
place, where they finished the second
series. -
The Rod Birds go to Charlotte for
a series of three games, and then return
home, playing the Lobsters the last three
day of the week on the local grounds.
Well, Kflly's crew has made something
of a reeord during the present series.
Three out of five games with Tarboro
and two out of three with both Charlotte
and Wilmington ;is the result of their
efforts.
The correspondent of The Tost at Wil
mington was badly mixed on Sorber's
magnificent record in the game at Wil
mington. Sorber had a batting average of
1,000, making three doubles, a single
and a sacrifice. That is hitting a few.
And Sorber is the man the Red Birds
would have missed had Devlin lived up
to his agreement. What a narrow
escape!
Morrisy, who was formerly with Nor
folk, has been signed by Tarboro. Mor
risy left Norfolk and went to Baltimore,
but he failed to make good in the big
Pulsifer has left the
for his home North.
Tarboro team
Sweeny seems to be all to the good.
The cemetery editor of The Star rises
to remark as. to Friday's game: "We
thank our stars it was not a shet-out."
Did the "horse editor" of The Star
carry out his threatened intentions with
his can of powder? Cheer up and be
good. 1 ' .
"Lest you forget, we tell you yet,"
the Red Birds are on top.
Thet Messenger said yesterday:
"Meade's umpiring is good, notwith
standing the wild howling of some of the
spectators. He knows the game and is
conscientious in his work."

six miles from Monterey, in Putnam

badly wounded.
A posse of six, led by a deputy col

above an Illicit still when they received
orders to throw up their hands. They
had barely located the speaker when a
deadly volley from eight guns was
poured upon them. Deputy Marshal.
Thomas Price was instantly killed and
posseman C. Mackey was badly wound
ed. The officers returned the fire, hut
the moonshiners made the place so hot-'
that tue collector, and the survivors re
tired and carried Mackey with them.
One moonshiner was hear- moaning and
calling to his friends that he had beon
mortally wounded.
Collector Bell has gathered another
posse and started out to recover the
body of Trice.

vim TnTheirwork
Leaguers Abandoned Sght
seeing for Business
Snn Frnncis'-o. .Tulv 20. A snirit of
animation and enthusiasm marked the
work of the third day of the Inter
national Epworth Leage Convention. The
delegates had lK?en admonished at the
dose of yesterday's meeting by Rev.
Dr. Berry, general secretary of the
league, that there had been too much
sight-seeing and that "all should get to
work and pump salvation into these
people." v
This injunction was obeyed. Under the
hrijrht sunshine and a cool, invigorating
breeze the visitors sought the places -of
micting early today. Enthusiasm and
a manifest determination to make this
the big day of the convention were every
where evident. Everything went with a
vim that had been lacking at some pre
vious sessions. The sunrise prayer meet-!
in.Efs with which the day opened again
drew crowded houses at every one of
the four principal places of worship.'
From that early hour on throughout
the morning every path seemed to lead
crowds to the .Pavilion, the Alhambra
Thfatre, the Metropolitan Temple and
Central and Howard Street churches.
The 9 o'clock opening song service at
each of thfse assembling plaoes saw
greater audiences than had before joined
in the first hymn of the day. A lAng,
program of speeches was gone through
with commendable promptness, all being
listened to with the deepest interest
and applauded with heartfelt enthusi
asm. Open-air meetings were held at
half a dozen places' in widely separated,
districts of the city, as well as at the
music stand in Golden Gate Park and
the court of the Falace Hotel. Song
services, prayers and speeches made up
the programs at these meetings, which
were attended by crowds.

Pittsfield, Mass., July 20 Principals
and witnesses in the Fosburgh case are
resting today in preparation - for the
stirring scenes anticipated Monday. The
prosecution may'-rest-its case. that dsr.'
but several important witnesses against

that she told the officers fhafe she saw
her brother standing in front o her

her. The State also" claims that Rob-
ert'Tosburgh in his stories said that ha
was behind his sister when she fell,

N Paris, July 20.-rThe moment scarcely

actly what -that something is. .Special
reports have been ordered from agents
o fthe government in nearly every cap
ital of Europe; nnd a strict surveillance

Pauncefote Misquoted in Re

TOO DISCREETTO TALK
British Position Uncompro
mising in Favor of Neutral
ity in Peace and War And
There It Is
London, July 20. It is not possible,
unfortunately; to remove the impression
created ou both sides of the Atlantic
by the published version of the recent
conversation between Lord Pauncefote,
fthe British ambassador at Washington,
with an American journalist. It has
been inferred, very naturally from the
report given of the ambassador's words,
that he meant to foreshadow such con
cessions by the British government as
would make the proposed canal treaty
acceptable to the American Senate,
whose views on this subject are well
known and defined. It may be noted
in passing, that the interpretation of his
lordship's meaning has aroused no pub
lic: resentment in thrjs country. Lord
Pauncefote, however, authorizes me to
say that he has said nothing to justify
idea.
T 1 i ' , 1 . A.
on th? highest official authority on the
eve of the amendment- of the treaty by
the United States Senate, that Great
Britain will insist upon the neutrality
of the canal .in peace and war.
It is necessary only to read the Mar
quis of Lansdowne's- rejection of the
amended treaty to understand that Great
Britain's position on this point is un
compromising. . , :

derive much gratification at the pros
pect of. another Christian schism within
his dominions. At his last audience, the

to sro "the whole hog" and assured the
prelate of his august protection against
any possible consequences.

A Philippine: Mare N esj
Manila, July 20. The "American yester
day, and today published details of a
so-called scheme for a monarchy planned
by Aguinaldo's cabinet. This ; publica:
tion has aroused much native indigna
tion and violent denials, and the native
newspapers threaten violence against
the editors of The American., The
American asserts that it has unearthed
records which go to show that monarchy
stalked behind the idea of "a "republic.
Aguinaldo aspire to be a king, and his
real idea was the enslavement of his
countrymen after they had gained their
independence. :

A Dreyfus Case in Belgium
Brussels, July 20. There is a sort of
Dreyfus case in the Belgian army,
against which the Socialist element, as
well as a large committee of lawyers and
doctors, have taken a determined stand.
It seems that a certain Captain Schur
mans has been illegally confined in an
insane asylum by order of his superior
officers. An order to keep silent in re
gard to his treatment has been received
from their representatives. A commit
tee of defense has been formed and
trouble is expected, especially with the
Socialists, unless immediate steps are
taken for. an investigation, of the case
and the redress of grievances. '

ital by the forces of the allied powers
which had been scheduled for August
14, will not take place until some time
between August 17 and Angtist 20. M. :

forces now in the empire, is .opposed to
the foreigners leaving the city on the
anniversary of the relief "of the lega-!
tions. He also declares that the Chi
nese should not press for evacuation-
before the foreigners T are inclined to
leave. -. : , - j

looted by7 the French soldiers. Prince:
Li has lived .in retirement within the i
city for several months and is in very -
poor health. By going to meet the royal
party he will remain president of the

The. -fact that he is a. prince, however,
carries great weight with' the natives.--.
