by a slashing triple to left by Reetl

Goddard and Blnton prevented th*
hit from going a home run. Adam*

The beat kind of rooting ii th« old yall
for tho hom· taam, rather than the
jeer against the viaiting club.
"Shorty" Jackaon ha· «truck hli
stride at lait, it ntnu. His tapping ihe
nphc-rc on the second aack that Wal
ker drove oat in the eecond frame
of the Benton content was aenaation
al, to «ay the laaft. Sborty't hit, too,
wtu on· of the longeât and prettiest
of the entire game.
But the hit that "Shorty" poled out
over the left fielder's head in the
fourth iraa to no avail, for Ballantina
ended the inning witn an e**y out.
Likewtsv in the ninth when "Wiley"
Hinion drove one out for three sacks.
We are making no alibi bat Dunn
did have fearful luck Friday. Our
Hits came when they didn't count and
our erroia came when they did count.
"S:ajr" Ballentine pitched a pvetty
game against Benson, and deaerved
to win. The first hit registered off
hi» neat delivery came in the ilitb
whan Walker caught a fait on« on the
nose and nailed it out for a clean bin·
glc.
Jernigan, one of Denioiu weakest
biltera, vu reiponsibte for untying
the count Friday. He sent a unp hit
over third ont just at the rigat tira»
to do the damage.
"Sid' Wilson was wildly chearcd
when he ran bark into deepcentar and
sphered a long fly in the ninth. The
midget center fielder contributed the
fielding star play of iIm cam*.
"Bid " h»s mad* himself ona of
the mott popular men on the team
through h « beautiful folding and a
fcility to get on th« base when h« steps
up to the plate.
Reorganisation of the club, and the
datctmination to get down to buti
ne» On the part of officials and team,
ought to π alee Dunn a real contender
fcr the pennant.
"Hap" HoiHday is tii* r'ght man
for the managerial position. He has
the enthusiasm, the loyally and the
ardor. He is a food, clean sportsman,
whk-h is best of all.
ι Dunn's shifted line-up ought to do
good businaas ia spits of ths defeat
yertciday by Foar Oalca. No better
nulfie'd can be found ill tfce league
than Hlnson, Wilson, and Goddard.
All three of thaae fast ball players
displayed their fielding ability at
Four Oaks.
But the Gob wasn't hitting at all.
He fanned three out of four tripa.
and popped to short bis other trial.
Wilson, Ihe Four Oaks right hander
had the Dunn eentei'"ftelder looking
<ick at the place.
l)ut l!o,ldai<! was not the only usu
ally (rood hitter that failed to get a
