CONCORD, N. C. WEDNESDAY, JULY 27 J
TUESDAY'S GAME.
A Still Closer Game Played Bui It
Proved Defeat tp Concord I'liey
Play tlie Last Inning: Out Before
They Changed the l"Ie.
Monday's game of ball between
Concord and Pelzer was consid-
ered close, but the game of games
was played Tuesday evening by
these same teams.
The game was called at the
usual hour with Mr. Williamson
Morris as umpire and Prot. E B
Lewis scorer.
This time Mains went in the
box for Pelzer and had Crawley
to catch his balls. Mangum did
the work for Concord from the
box while Oldham caught for him.
In the first inning it seemed
that our boys were going to be in
the game at least to a score ot
two, they having scored twice.
Mangum, is he did some weeks
ago, knocked a fly over the fence,
which scored him and also Old
ham, who was on the base. This
is Dolpbs second ball over that
fence this season.
When the other boys came to
the bat, knowing that we had al
ready scored two runs, they tried
to do their best. Darby succeed
ed in. getting to third base and
was trying dreadfully hard to
score but got put out between
there and heme, and so they
didn't get to score.
When our boys went to the bat
in the second inning, they failed
to make a run but when the Pel
zer boys came in town they held
them off also without a run. In
this inning two of Pelzer's men
struck out and the third one was
put out at first. (
But the tune had to change
slit htly in the third inning. Frost
succeeded in getting home on an
error made by one of our boys.
In the same way Darby also
scored by a bad throw to the first
baseman. In this inning Billy
Weddington made a splendid
catch of Mains fly in ihe centre
field.
In the fourth inning Joe Fisher
knocked a fine fly nearly to the
fence in the centre field and for
tunately it was where no one
could reach it. But it was too
bad he didn't get to make his
score after all.
lVTon rm m nnl . 11 1 -
Bailey and succeeded in getting
him out at first by swiftly putting
it to the baseman instead of de
livering the ball. He put that
double-shuffle on himselt.
Not a better play was made
than the one made by Kogers in
the centre field when he ran as
last as a player can and succeed
ed in catching a most excellent
fly of Saunders. This was un
doubtedly the play of the day.
All along at this time the en
thusiasm was great, the boys now
standing 2 to 2, as it had been
since the third inning. . ,
But now comes the time when
all of Concord's people were al
most bound to stand upon their
feet in the grand stand. This was
the most critical moment. Three
of Pelzer's men were on the bases
and with only one out it seemed
impossible to keap them from
scoring some runs. But here's)
the way it went. When three
were on the bases, Mclniyre went

In the seventh inning Pelzer suc
ceeded in getting two more runs,
which were made by Saunders and
Frost. Mains, in this innioff,
knocked a two-bagger but didnrc
get to score on it.
Pelzer now stood 4 to 2 against
ne,. but next came our boys to tne
bit at the beginning of the eighth j
inning. Kogers made a nice hunt
of the ball and got his b8e. By
some means he succeeded in getting
to tmrd . Oldham then knocked
one and brought Rogers home. Man
gum then knocked a dandy one but
got out at the sacrifice of a run
made by Oldham. This now made
the score even again 4 and 4'
Next came the ninth inning and
the score was yet anyictorious to
either team . The first half of it
with our boys at the bat was played
and still ic was unchanged . Now
if our bojs could only hold them
tne latter half no one wonld h
the victorj. But the Pel cer boys
succeeded in gettmsr tbe winning
- a
run, which was made by Saunders.
This was a time for the rooters to
set in their work jast b-fore
Saunders made his score.
Mangum strode out 3 men while
Mainp, who is a professional pitcher
and belonged to the Inter-State
League, struck out 6 of otr men.
The following is the score : Cons
cord, 4 ruD8, 10 hits, 7 errors ; Pel
zer, 5 ions, 4 hits, 2 errors.
Pelzer made less hits and errors
Tuesday than they did Monday,
while our boys made more hits and
errors than they did the day before.
Tne following: is the score by in
nings:;
Concord 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 2 04
Pelzer 0 0 2 0 0 0 2 0 15
Saunders and Frost each, scored
two runs for their team while Dars
by also scored one.
Rogers, Oldham, Mangum and
Reid, the first four in batting order,
made the four runs for Concord's
team. ,.
They are playing again this even
iog on the diamond. Even if Con
corl does get bsat "just a little" bit
by these professionals she likes lo
play with them.
