The club will meet Friday, August 21, with Miss Edna Laughlin. ASHEBORO BASE BALL TEAM Asheboro played the last game of the. season Saturday, August 15, at Ramseur, the score being 3 to 2 in favor of Asheboro. Asheboro has and can play good base ball when the town is willing to help support a team. This year the team has not had very much support throughout the summer. Asheboro fans should show their ap preciation by furnishing a base ball park for next year, and if so, Ashe boro will show her kindest regards by playing good, clean base ball. This year Lacy Lewis and Idyl Fer ree took the matter in their hands expecting to come out in a bad hole, which they did, but not as bad as they feared. Mr. Daniel Sharpe has done his part in helping keep the boys and the team out of a bad hole. We thank him very much for his help. Asheboro has done well, having started where they did and landing where they have. Asheboro could have a good team if they had the sup port. All who have seen Asheboro play will have to admit that they played real base ball this season. Asheboro has one opponetn that they have dreaded, which is Troy. The pitching staff has been strong this year, the team having seven that can pitch out of the nine players. The main pitchers are Big Carl Griffin, Idyl Ferree, Clarence Rush and our hopeless twirler, Mr. Charlie rox. tox always says he can pitch "real good ball' especially in a tight pinch, and sure enough he can. He won his game against Cedar Falls 13 to 2. Charlie has perfect control and what it takes to pitch he has it. Good luck to you, old Charlie boy. Carl Griffin has pitched several of Asheboro's victories this season and has not lost a game. We all hope he will be with us next year with better stuff, though he has had his opponents at his mercy this year. The Asheboro team took the honors from Ramseur by making it the third straight Saturday, August 15, by a score of 3 to 2. This score demon strates that Asheboro can play ball, and in a measure redeems their utter failure at Troy on August 5. We knew our boys could play ball and we had confidence in them; that accounts for our lack of patience on the 5th and the criticisms lodged against them. Our boys are as fine a lot as you will see on the diamond from any town; they are not scrubs, but come from the best homes the county affords. They are as stalwart in body and as clear of habits as any team that will ever cross bats with the Asheboro base ball team. At the close of the last game Ashe boro's record was as follows: Games won, 14 ; lost 4 (Troy 2, Mill- boro 1, Worthville 1). Shutout games 3; runs scored 113; runs scored by vis- itors 81; home runs too many to name. The line up is as follows: Pitchers Griffin and Ferree. Catcher Lewis. 1st base Ferree and supplied from pitchers. 2nd base Fox. 3rd base Davis and Cox. Short stop Rush. Right field Wood. Left field Routh. Center field Miller. The game last Saturday was played on the Ramseur diamond and was wit nessed by a number of Ramseur fans who were sorry to see Ramseur lose Auction At my Store at Michfield, N. C, ON August 22, 1914.

Asheboro Drug Co. Inc. CHAS. M. FOX, Manager the third straight to Asheboro. All three of the winning runs were home runs, two by Rush and one by Ferree. Rush had on his playtng clothes Saturday. Out of four times up he landed two homers, one triplet and started for his third homer but but was robbed of the third strike. Ferree's homer folowed Rush. Griffin's pitching was to much for his opponents this season. Saturday's game was of interest to Asheboro. Griffin had the stuff along the whole fray while Ramseur tried to knock him out of the lot but could not. He did not allow one to reach third on him and allowed but two to get sec ond. Asheboro is trying to get a game with Liberty for Saturday, August 22. Liberty has the strongest team in the county. We hope to beat Liberty. ONE OF THE PLAYERS. Send your job work to the Co irier.
