April 24, 1913.
The first game of baseball played by the Wrightsville team was last Friday at Idylwild when they held Dublin by a score of 23 to 3. It was played in front of alot of fans and the ladies of Warthen College cheered them on. The teams were evenly matched until the 3d inning when Grier landed a number of hits. Shearouse, Fulford and Faircloth were also "stars of the stick". Gay came in to pitch for Dublin but didn't fair much better walking several in a row and also giving up a homerun to McWhorter. McWhorter pitched 17 strike-outs and only gave up four hits. In all Wrightsville had 21 hits and 23 runs which sent the Dublin Dodgers to their roost in dispair.
The Wrightsville Bottling Works is an enterprise that has enjoyed a successful run of 12 to 15 years at the same old stand under management of W. F. Dent. Its a first class, well-equipted plant and its product is the best. Rev. & Mrs. E. L. Wainwright have taken rooms at the residence of Mrs. Mabel Blount on Marcus Street.
The first violation of the fish and game law was brought to the notice of City Court Monday. Several colored women who were entertaining delegates to the Baptist Convention, went down to Cedar bridge for a little outing, and soon after the fishing began, Game Warden Wheeler had all 9 arrested. Judge Kent tried one case, resulting in a $10 fine. The case will be carried to higher courts, while the other 8 cases are pending. The point from which they were fishing was the public road and thought they were not in violation for that reason, as is the opinion held by many for almost every day, weather permiting many both white and colored have been fishing at the same place.
