RED BIRRS LOSE FOOT
BOLD ON FIRST PLAGE
N After dropping: two consecutive
games to the near-tailenders, Davy
Crockett's bunch of Giants rambled
into town yesterday and went "a
gunning" for Red Birds with the re
suit that the said feathered tribe was
roughly shaken from the top perch,
where; they had the extreme pleasure
of languishing only forty-eight
hours. .; Ab it has been on every oc
casion but- one that he has worked
against us, yesterday's game was a
case of Stoe'ar walking out In the
field, drawing on his glove, and pres
to! the Red Birds were licked to a
frazzle. i
Again the inability of the Birds to
hit the ball safely at critical times
was, demonstrated, as on six occa
sions during the contest, when they
had a look-tn- on a score, the side was
retired runless as the result of slow

grounders to the infield or easy files,
etc. - On one occasion however, it was
not Mr. Stoehr's good work that
barred the locals, from crossing the
pan, but it was their own bonehead
base-running. The game was practi
cally a repetition of the previous
games in which Stoehr has worked
against the Birds.
But Giant Stoehr escaped fortu
nately yesterday. True, he pitched
a shut-out game; but he and fickle
fortune were mighty good friends
during the afternoon. Everything
broke right for him. Apparently he
was up against a pitcher Who was
serving up an article of ball a bit bet
ter than his own. But the lady who
rules things decreed that Stoehr was
her pet, and she so carried out the
thing to the end. He did not appear to
have anything in stock, but the Red
Birds found ittough digging to col
lect their hits, only four going down
on the records.
The Giants landed their lone coun
ter in the fourth inning. Gettig,
first up, was chloroformed by Brum
field and Haas. Brandon then openly
violated the Interstate Commerce- law
and issued a free pass to Steinbach,
which resulted in a measley lead of
one run that the home team was
unable to overhaul With Steinbach
on first, Crockett grounded to sfibrt.
Brumfleld fielded the ball cleanly
and turned to throw to second to
head off Steinbach, but there was no
body on second to take the throw.
Brumfield then got his cues mixed
and both runners were safe. A cinch
double play was lost, and it meant a
run and the game, as Doalt followed
with a long single to centre field,
scoring Steinbach. Sharp and Stubbe
died out. After that the Giants had
two chances to score, but Brandon
tightened up and wiggled out of the
narrow places, some good fielding as
sisting materially. y
. The Red Birds had several onpor-.
tunlties to score, but they failed to '
inmrove their onnortunities. On six!
occasions did a home player arrive
at second, but the necessary hit was
not forthcoming. Just when the tre -
mendoua crowd was e-ettini rendv to
yell the roof off the stand, Pitcher
Stoehr put something on the ball and
the locals turned ud their toes, dyine
on strikeouts, pop flies, easy, ground-
era. et al. The sixth innlne was the
heart-breaker for the crowd. In this;
inning Raleigh had second and third
tenanted and only one in the grave
yard. This time, however, it was not
Goldsboro's good work, but Raleigh's
(bad that lost the day. With Crozier
on third and Hoffman on sceond,
Brumfield hit to short and Crozier
was caught so far from the home
plate that he turned and started back
towards third. He was chased for a
jfew seconds and finally run down,
j Brumfield thinking that-Hoffman had
'gone to third, continued to the Bec
I ond station, but Hoffman was also
hanging around that same corner.
Stoehr discovered this fact and began
operations by chasing Brumfield.
Hoffman then made a dash for third
and the Giants let up in their perse
cution of the whispering one and be
gan on "Darling." The way they
chased him back and forth was a
caution to sinners. It took several
minutes and several hundred throws,
more or less, to do It, but Hoffman
was at last captured and the1 agony
dissolved itself into an imitation of a
broken hope. '
In the ninth Raleigh made another
serious ripple toward a score, but
this was another example of what
Dame Fortune was handing the covey
with the red plumage. Haas hit just
inside third base and arrived safely
at first. HQffman sacrificed him to
second. Just to Bhow how far she
could carry things, Lady Fortune had
Fulton muff Brumfield's pop foul and
let Brumfield swat a slasher to centre

HIGHLANDERS WIN TWO.
Sexton and Rube Howard Are Pound
ed Hard and at Will.
Fayetteville, July 6 Fayetteville
took both the morning and afternoon
games from Wilmington yesterday,
but only the afternoon game counts in
the percentage column, as the morn
ing game was an exhibition affair.
The morning game was won on
hard hitting by the Highlanders, who
landed on Sexton for eight hits,
Lohr making a two-sacker, a triple
and a home-run wallop. Muir was
dishing out the assortment of twists
for the home team and the Sailors
just couldn't connect. Only two hits
were made off him.
The afternoon contest was almost
a repetition of the morning game, as
the Sailor heaver was hit hard and
the Highlander moundman was al
ways effective. Rube Howard, who
pitches no-hit games once in awhile,
was lambasted for five single shots,
four half-circuiters, and a three-sack-er.
Clancey equalled Mulr's record
in the morning by holding the visi
tors to two singles'and no scoring.

generally stated that the famous Mr.
Webster was endowed with powers
that gave him the ability to foretell
the future, it is believed that when he
gave the foregoing definition he had
in mind yesterday's battle at the new
athletic park. At least Manager
Crockett and the Giants should be
lieve so.
That fickle goddess, Dame For
tune, who is generally considered the
grand mogul of The Luck Manufac
turing Company, w:;s nt .'.'icily on the
outs with (';(.'. oi 's Birdies yester
day. To make is worse, she nllowcu
that much-del cstod one-run hoodoo
to again become master of the scene.
M:Hlamo Fortune rubbed it in good
and herd, all rti;ht. Her most ef
fective stunt came to hand in the
fourth inning, w'.ien Brumfield and
Hart were allowed to get mixed up
in that play around second base,
which finally cost us the game. The
next time that her Highness grinned
at us was in the sixth, when with two
bases occupied, and only one down,
Crozier, Hoffman, and Brumfield got
caught between the bases and the
side was retired runless. Both of
these plays were somewhat, bonehead,
but it was nothing but LUCK for the
visitors. The Giants had a little more
Goldsboro luck in the fifth, when
Bill Irwin called on his patron saint,
and smashed the ball to the top of
the right field embankment. The
ball bounded directly into Stubbe'
hands. The throw to second was fast,
and perfect and Bill was forced to re
main on first. The slightest off
bound on that hit would have made
it good for two or three bags. The
Lady again toyed with us in the
ninth, causing false hopes to rise.
We plead with the fickle goddess
to cast a favorable eye upon us to
day. KETCfltLLPAPKE FIGHT
A DISAPPOINTMENT
(By TAD)
New York, July 6 "The 'thunder
bolt" and "the Assassin' went the
limit and didn't even knock one an
other down. True, Ketcbel won, but
from reports the referee might have
handed the decision to the other or
have called the affair a draw, it was
so close.
Ketchel was a disappointment.
With that wonderful punch he was
doped to tear through Papke's guard
and smash him down in 12 rounds at
the most. He did not even come near
knocking his man out. The chances
are that the easy life has bothered
the Michigan lad. Money has been
rolling in too easy for him. and the
big automobile and the good roads
were too much. of a temptation. He
probably left his punch along the line
somewhere. He surely didn't have it
I witn nlm ln the ring yesterday
Thousands of dollars were lost on
the round bets. Even money that he
would win in 12 rounds looked a fine
bet for hfs admirers and they went to
it strong. They blew, as did Ketchel,
who bet that way himself.
WIUus Britt, in the excuse line,
says that Ketchel broke his arm in
the seventh round. Well, if he can
fight the way. he dfd from then on
with a busted wing, Willus ought to
take him "right over in some old lot
and break the other one, for Stanley
was sailing away for dear life with
that right all through the fight.
From way. back here It looks as
though he lost his goat after the
twelfth.
Ketchel's chances against Johnson
have taken an awful slump. Surely'
he will drop the biggest man in the
world If he lands right,' but if he
can't drop Papke, a much slower
and smaller man than the colored fel
low, he has little chance of copping
In his coming big fight. Sam Lang
ford may meet Ketchel before Octo
ber and there will be some rather
lively betting on that, too, by the
way. -
