WILLIAMSTON, N. C., FRIDAY, JULY i.
Regulars vs Tamany Tigers
The fsstest game of the season
was played ou the Williainston dia
mond on the 27th bv the William*
ston Regulars and the Tamany Ti
gers. Resulting in a score of 10 to
7 in favor of the Regulars.
The line up was as follows:
Regulars: Joe Godard Ib, Wil
liard Teel ss, Harry M. Stubbs c,
Wheeler Martiu cf, Willie Watts
2b, Haywood Knight rf, Maurice
Moore p. 3b, Edwiu Ward p. 3b,
Roland Roberson If.
Tamany Tigers: Julius Peel rb,
Jim Godard If; Sam Gurgauus cf,
I). E. Gurganus c, Leslie Fowden
ss, Dillon Simpson 2b, J. H.
Thrower 3b, Ben Hopkins rf, S. R-
Biggs p.
Features of the game were the
strong work by Biggs, who was
upon the mound for the Tigers, he
allowed very few hits and kept
them well scattered. The fast y.lay
iug and head work of Fowden on
short was wonderful. We afe con»
fident that no ametutr short stop
in the South has a wing like his.
Peel, who held the first sack played
an errorless game, robbing the Reg
ulars of several pretty bits in his
territory. The Tigers as a whole
are there with the willow.
The Regulars played steady ball
and gave Ward and Moore good
support. Stubbs allowed lio steal
ing. This being the first appear
ance of tl e Tigers in uniform we
feel safe in predicting that they
will make the Regulars go some in
the next contest.
Don't torget the"Blootner Girls"
on Wednesday,- July 6th. We
guarantee you a good game. Miss
Maude Nelson, tbe champion lady
twiler will be on the firing line for
tbe visitors, while Ward will be the
slab artist for the locals, with
Stubbs behind the bat. We are
going to give the tans some fine
exhibitions of thenational gime this
season.—"Dope."
