With the score standing 5-2 in High
Point’s favor. Coach Haislip called his
team from the diamond in the eighth
inning last Friday afternoon at
Jamestown and refused to resume
play when the two umpires disagreed
on a play at third base. With two men
out in the eight frame a Jamestown
runner inWfered with Alphens White,
the docal fihird sacker, as he was at-
temptnng to field a batted ball; Ac
cording to the rules' of the national
pastime, the runner should have been
out but the base umpire who was cal-1
ling balls and strikes ruled that the
man was out. With both umpires and
both teams disagreeing it was im
possible to resume' play.
High Point scored in the first in
ning when they pushed one run over
the platter. The Jamestown batters
were un^le to solve the twists of
Erneest Fuqua and were handed a
goose-egg in the initial frame. The
youthful southpaw struck out three
men in this iinnng.
The locals put the game on ice in
the second coato when four men cross- ,
ed the gutta percha. Osborn, the
Jamestown heaver, was driven from
the mound in this ining and J. Will-
pitching duties. He
pitched a creditable game, handing
the locals blanks in the run column
tor the last six innings.
Jamestown scored two runs in the
eight inning as a result of several
errors on the part of the local team.
Ernest Fuqua pitched a fine game,
holding the Jomestown lads scorless
and striking out eight men during
the SIX inning thsat he occupied the
clay mound. Only three hits were
pined off his plivery. The nearest
Ilf I*®mg scored on was in
the fifth inning. Osborn, first man up,
hit one to deep centerfield that look-
p good for. a home run. He made a
psperate effort to score but was
thrown pt at the plate. Renfry, the
local catcher, was thrown about ten
ft®t when Osborne ran into him, but
he held the ball, thereby preventiner
A, White led the team in hitting
with two safeties to his credit
