A pine Game of Baseball It Was The j
Statesville Boys Proved Too Much lor j
US in tne First Game. .
Te will have to confess that
;re were surprised at the result of
tEe game Thursday between our
baseball team and the Statesville
bojs. But this is the first game
of tbe seaBon and our boys have
n0t jet become familiar with each
other's part to play.
The battery for Statesville was
jjalone and Turner. Our battery
vfts Han gum and (graves. It
vas somewhat a battle" between
the pitchers.
Our boys made two runs, while
the Statesville boys made four.
We were jubilant over the pros
pec's when the telegrams came
gating that Mangum scored us
one run in the first inning, and
that Statesville only ciphered. In
the second inning Caldwell scored
us one run and Statesyille tailed
to be in it again. But here the
tide turned and the Tredell boys
made a run. This must have
been a time-when the grand stand
fairly shook with applause. From
this point our boys seem to have
had all they could do to hold
their opponents- down. In. the
fourth inning the enemy gained
two more scores. But now came
the beautiful part of the playing,
the fifth and rsixth innings
amounting to nothing more than
a hard struggle to keep each
other from getting anything but
ciphers on the scorer's, book. In
the eighth the Statesville boys
scored their last run, neither
side having gained a run in the
last inning. .
No doubt this was one of the
most enjoyable games that our
hoys will take part in this season,
though the score should have
been reversed for us. It is cer
tain that neither side was playing
"rotten" ball. This is the kind of
baseball the grand stands likes
to face.
But we are expecting a victory
today. Billy Weddington will be
in the box and probably Rich
mond Keid behind JLe bat. If
our team beats today then the
Statesville boys will have to come
here to play the third game.
Unless other arrangements are
made this evening the boys
ill be home tonight'
