A crowd of over 300 witnessed the en counter. Five hits and an error enabled the locals to tally three times in the open ing frame and take a lead they nev er relinquished, although at several stages of the game Pinehurst trailed by just one marker and always threat ened. Myrick went the route foi- South ern Pines, although from the sixth inning on he weakened rapidly, mainly due to the fact that a batted ball struck him in this sixth frame. Hen son was on the mound for the oppo sition and was hit hard throughout. Good support pulled him out of sev eral holes and he also fanned eight men. most of the whiffs coming wtih men on bases. All out two of the local fieldei's dis- I tinguished themselves by making at Ralph (least one ei ror and the team total was eight. Almost every game this year has been marked by the glaring er rors in the field of the local players, but this is mainly due to lack of suf ficient practice and they should retui-n to form in a few days. \VebRtei' led both team.i in hitting, liavin.g a triple and two singles in four trips to the plate. Webb, of Pinehurst. slashed out three one-bas- ers in five attempts. He also featuied in tlie field.
