Rich Square and Woodland played the third game of ball last Thursday, which was said to be the best game seen on the local grounds this season. The game was practically void of errors. It was a clean, undisputed game from start to finish. No arguments as to bad decisions by the umpire. Everybody was in good spirits and played the game hard. But for one error by a Woodland player, which let in two runs, the score would have been 1-0 in favor of Woodland, but the error was made, therefore it was 2 to 1 in favor of Rich Square. At the end of the game such good feeling existed between the Rich Square boys and the Woodland boys, they have agreed to unite and help each other in all tight games. Two of our best players, Vick and Joyner, helped Rich Square Friday beat Ahoskie, 8-4. Tuesday, Woodland played Weldon, assisted by some of Rich Square’s best players. Vick and Joyner will accompany the Rich Square team to a number of towns in Halifax, Warren and Vance counties during the remainder of this week. Mr. J.H. Parker, our popular railroad agent here, has recently been chosen manager of the baseball team, and he is planning some good games for the near future. Mr. Parker is one of the most public spirited men, never refusing to help out in a worthy cause for the good of the community. When asked to contribute something in order that we might have a Domestic Science teacher, he unhesitatingly said, “I’ll give $50.” The ball team could not have chosen a better man as their manager.
