RED BIRDS LOSE IN
HARD FOUGHT BATTLE
Earle Holt's Tobacconists and Dick
Crozier's ; Red, Birds t, fought hard
through :ten Innings of unusually in
teresting ball Saturday before the
verdict was returned in favor of ttoa
knikhts of the weed by two runs to
naught.
While the visitors earned the decis
ion,, they were given a good, strong
lift In the . InHt cmnnm hv unmo mnl
class umpiring that Barr brought '",agniflfnt battle;
Booles, when Dawson pulled down
Cooper's fly, but it took on a bilious
aspect when Buckingham drew four
bad ones. One man on base, how
ever, caused Booles no loss of sleep,
but a miscalled strike a few mo
ments later gave him a severe attack
of brainstorm. The first two balls
delivered to Yerkes were declared
strikes. Booles, seeing Yerkes off
his balance, made a lightning-like
pitch and caught Yerkes unawares.
The ball went through the groove,
but Barr was also a full-fledged mem
ber of the "Dreamers' Club" and a
beautiful strike was called a ball.
Then came the finishing touches to a
Yerkes smashed
the next one over with the results
with him to the canltal citv t.his t.irrbp I UB" oue lue '
with o ,on .ct .2 I above mentioned. Buckingham scor-
two strikes on Yerkes, Booles made a
quick pitch and it split the plate just
about waist high. The quick delivery
caught Yedkes offhis balance and he
niade no attempt to swing at the ball,
but that was not the worst of it. Barr
was "enjoying a semi-conscious state
of mind and did not properly focus
his peepers on the heave. Instead,
however, of calling the ball as It sure
ly was( his sleepiness, the umps, de
clared the almost perfect heave to be
a ball. On the next ball over Yerkes
broke up the game with a three-base
drive between right and centre ftslds,
sc nding Buckingham in ahead of him.
From the very start it could be
seen that the contest would resolve
itself into a skirmish between the
hurlers, and that's exactly what
ed and Yerkes raced around to the
third station. Miller and Yerkes
played the hit and run game, Yerkes
trotting across on Miller's hot
grounder to Hoover. ..
There was much dissatisfaction
over the work of Umpire Barr, who
has deteriorated somewhat since his
last appearance on the local diamond,
and it ended in Manager Holt, of the
visitors, being put out of the game
and later out of the grounds for in
forming his umps of his (Holt's)
opinion of the aforesaid arbitrator.

FAYETTEVILLE TAKES TWO

(Special to The Times.)
Goldsboro, ' N. C, July 19 The
Highlanders gave the Giants a good
t. imming here Saturday, defeating
them in both games of a double
header.
In the first. game the Giants were
very slow and lost the game on their
errors.
Stoehr was on the mound for the
locals in the first game but was re
lieved in the fifth inning by the new
southpaw Smith.

The mighty Anderson has pitched his
last game in the Eastern Carolina
League, for awhile, at least. A check
has been received in the city of Wilson
for (2,000 buying Pitcher Anderson and
Shortstop Yerkes. It is rumored that
these two players will leave the Wil
son team at once and report to Boston.
Many new players have been signed
up by Wilson, and the Tobacconists
will be stiengtheiHKl considerably.
The Red Birds stand a good chuugc
of being in first place again by the litt
ler nart of the week. Throe games
with Rocky Mount here and then to
Wilmingt'on for three games.
.
A double-header will be played to
morrow afternoon between Raleigh
and Rocky Mount. The gama will
be called at 3 o'clock, and we hope
it will be finished before sundown.

The Wilson Tobacco market shows a
return to more rational conditions from
the violent break of late.
Anderson was the manipulator.
a
Wasn't it a pity that such a beauti
ful contest should have been spoiled
by an umpire's mistake an honest
mistake, no doubt, but a mistake just
the same, which cost the game.
In justice to Earle Hoult, who was
put out of the game for kicking on a
decision when Yerkes was declared out
In the sixth inning for being hit by a
batted ball, it must be said that lie
put up one of he most gentlemanly
kicks ever seen in this neck of the wild
and woolly. There was no blustering
demonstrations about his ,klck. He
merely stood, with his hands behind
him, and hurled a few choice articu
lations at Barr.
It is human to err, however, and Barr
is the best umpire that has worked in
Raleigh this Beason.
Sunday in third place was mighty near
as bad as a day in Goldsboro.
Suffering pollywogs! Jack, the. Giant.
Killer, is not in the Highlanders' class.
Two games from Crockett's beauties in
one day! Gee, I bet it took a carload
of stimulants to revive that Goldsboro
Argus dopester. It was rumored that
he gasped for air for fully two hours
after the second contest.
Wonder how much space the Argus
will give to that double-header? It is
safe to Bav that there, will be no extra
edition to carry the news.
"An ardent Pink Sheet Fan" of the J
Washington Post has written and
! arked the sporting editors' opinion in
regard to the game that was protest
ed by Goldsboro,5 being one of the
double header which was played here
and was protested on account of not
being called two hours before sun
down. Here Is the question and the
answer of the sporting editor, who is
a reliable authority on baseball:
"Sporting Editor Post : In Sun
day's pink sheet please enlighten the
fans of Eastern Carolina League on
the following: 1. On account of a
postponed game a double-header is '
played, but the loser of the second I
game protests the game under Rule
22, that every championship gam
shiill be started two hours before sun-
down. The first game was sttirtwl at
o'clock, but as it took fifteen in
nings to settle, the second game was
started after 6 o'clock and was final
ly called in the seventh, owing to
darkness. Should not the first game
have been stopped two hours before !
sunset, as a double-header was deter- j
nined upon? What time do the;
major leagues start their doublei
headers? 3. Is there any record of j
either a National or American League
team stopping an extra-inning tie j
game of the first double-header in or
dwr to take up the second game two
hours before sunset? 4. When the j
first game had gone fifteen innings !
and the home team saw that it was (
later than two hours before sunset, .
should they not have lefused to play? j
b" Where is the authority jn the j
.rules concerning protested games? I j
can't find it in Spalding's? i
An Ardent "Pink Sheet" Fan. j
-1. This rule applies to the com- j
roencement of the first game, and
when a double-header is scheduled
the sacond game can be started at any
time regardless of the rule referring
to sundown. 1
2. On the second trip to any city. !
3. That could not be done. A !
game must be completed before an- i
other can be played, when two are j
scheduled. j
4. Absolutely not. It was correct .
to start the second game.
5. The right to protest is given :
the clubs by the constitutions of the ,
various leagues. The rules make no f
such provision, they only state how i
the game shall be played. Wheii
tr-.ere is a violation of the rules by the
umpire there is ground for protest." ;
At a meeting of the directors re-!
cently in Wilson the game was
thrown out. For this reason Presi-.
dent Godwin has asked for another
meeting of the directors to reconsider
I iie gama If at this meeting they do
not give the game to Ralefgh, Mr.
Godwin says he will take up the mat
ter with higher officials.
