Beneath The Pisgah The Poet’s Corner THE FARM WIFE BY JOHN HANLON She never climbed a mountain, She never heard the sea, But always watched a winding road That wandered aimlessly Among unshaded meadows— A farm, a pasture rife With black-eyed Susans, level fields Comprised her little life. She never longed to travel, She felt no urge to search, Her longest journey the five miles On Sundays to the church; Yet, to her quiet dwelling, In singing, sighing flow. Came love and parting, birth and death. And all that women know. LONELY SENTINEL Winning 13 Of 14 Games Played, Machine Room Earns Champ Title Team Takes Two Out Of Three Games Played With All-Stars BY HANK NEWBURY Having displayed pitching and batting power throughout the season to finish in first place by winning 13 out of 14 games, the Machine Room club plastered the Duke’s Mixture boys in the first game of the series by the score of 30 to 8. The handsome trophy was conceded to the Machine Room without playing the other scheduled games in the play-off and an All-Star team was selected from the other three clubs to try and defeat the Champ’s in a series, of two out of three games. The heat was really on in this final series and those attending the games were well pleased with the type of baseball and the brand of sportsmanship that was display ed throughout the three games. Our hats are off to the Champs for having beaten all comers and for having one of the best ball clubs seen in these parts during the past few years. Listed below, you will find the write-up of each of the four games. Behind the effective pitching of Suttles, and with the entire team displaying plenty of batting punch when hits meant runs, the strong Machine Room “Champs” wallop ed the All-Stars by the score of 14 to 2 in the first games of the series, which was played Sunday, September 10th. Bradley and Suttles led the winners at bat with three blows each, while others on their club accounted for at least one hit each. For the losers, Byrd and Allison collected two hits each to tally half their team’s total of eight safeties. Even though the winners col lected 18 hits off the combined hurling of White and McCall, the 8 miscues charged to the All-Star club were responsible for several of the Machine Room runs. Thursday, Sept. 14th With the entire team playing heads-up ball and with McCall really bearing down, the All-Stars defeated the Machine Room in the second game of their series, played Sept. 14th, by the score of 7 to 3. Orr led the losers at bat with two hits while Clayton, Erwin and McCall had three blows each for the winners. On Sunday, September I7th, the Machine Room won the odd game in the series from the All-Stars by the score of 3 to 2. Approximately 5 0 0 spectators witnessed the most thrilling ball game of the season. The outstand ing performers were Suttles and McCall, the opposing pitchers, and Rick Orr, Machine Room short stop, who came through with a sensational catch in the 8th inn ing to rob the All-Stars of a cer tain rally. Batting leaders were Pace and Fisher for the Machine Room with' 3 and 2 hits respectively. Erwin and Allison had 2 hits each for the All-Stars. This was the last -game of the Ecusta season. The line-up was as follows: MACHINE ROOM Players AB R H E Case, 2b 4 0 12 White, 3b 4 2 11 Pace, lb 4 0 3 1 Orr, ss 5 0 11 Gregory, c 4 0 0 0 Suttles, p 4 0 0 0 Miller, cf 3 10 0 Fisher, If 4 0 2 0 Bradley, rf 4 0 10 ALL-STARS Players AB R H E Hargis, ss 5 111 Clayton, 2b 5 0 0 2 Bird, 3b 5 0 12 White, lb 4 0 10 Rhodes, rf 4 0 0 1 Dorn, cf 4 110 Erwin, -If 4 0 2 0 Allison, c 4 0 2 0 McCall, p 3 0 0 0 Score by innings: Machine Room 000 Oil 001—3 All-Stars 000 Oil 000—2 Strikeouts—Suttles 4; McCall 7; Walks—Suttles 5; McCall 1. Umpire, Misenheimer, Score keeper, Straus, (Taken from Coronet) Where once she walked with him, a young girl walks alone— wondering where he is tonight, waiting, and though he told her not to, worrying just a little. But dusk in the cool outdoors is sooth ing, as the unknown poet knew who wrote: The little cares that fretted me, I lost them yesterday Among the fields above the sea. Among the winds at play . . . Where drowsy poppies nod. Where ill thoughts die and good are born— Out in the fields of God.
