the Last Two Innings We Lost the !
Game An Extraordinary Game Until
- -
the Last.
Well, the Mountain Island
boys did come and beat us on
our own diamond. Never more
proud were they than when the '
game was nnisnea ana wnen
Concord had failed to win. It was
enough to make them proud,
when you think of the fact that
up to the eighth inning we had
them shut out and then lost the
game. !
Parker went -in the box at the
start for the visitors, and Latti
mer did our work. In 'the first
inrifng neither side knew what a
straight mark was. LeGrande
lor us, and Mangum for the
visitors, was left on bases.; In
the second inning we excited the
Islanders by a score. Graves
went out at second but Caldwell
made first. Lambeth made base
on balls and by an error Cald
well made third. Lattimer went
to first then, putting three men
on bases., Fisher went out at
first but Caldwell opened the
game with a score. Lambeth
and Lattimer were left on bases.
Our boys put a nice double play
on R. - Jenkins and Davis. In
this inning Mountain Island
didn't get a man on bases.
Giles, in the third, made first
base but was found napping at
second. Oldham tried to run
from first to second but Graves
arm was too quick and he was
easily downed. Graves fared
well getting to nrst nd second
in the fourth by errors but was
at last left on . bases. Mangum
knocked a beautiful fly to deep
centre field but Card was there
waiting for it.
After our example the visitors
worked a double play on us in
the fifth downing Card and Man
gum when Fisher was already
out. When our boys went to the
field and when card attempted to
catch J. Deavenportfs fly he had
the misfortune to unjoint his
thumb. Misenheimer took his
place on the score card. Daven
port had played in good luck to
live this long but went down at
third. Parker went out on a fly
and Hunter was out by running
on it, leaving Jenkins R. on
base.
In the sixth Reed and Graves
were struck out. Davis knocked a
fine two-bagger, but was left on
bases when' Caldwell caught
Maiigum's high flyer.
Caldwell' batted a fly nicely to
nobody in the seventh. This was
the time when Oldham chased, at
the same time, Caldwell between
second and third and Lambeth
between first and second. Lam
beth was out at a sacrifice of
Caldwell to third. Lattimer sent
a lly to a vacant part of the
field and Caldwell scored. A
double play downed Fisher and
and Misenheimer. "The score
now stood 2 to 0 in our favor.
To the discomfort of Mountain
Island, Yount and Hunter collid
ed while attempting to catch Le
Grande's fly. While the two
were feeling for the bruises Le
Grande made second and by an
error he crept over to third.
Reed knocked a fine fly to left
field but went out, nevertheless
LeGrande made our third run.
Now Mountain Island besran
her work in the eighth, nothing
but goose eggs having been to
her credit. Giles knocked a
two-bagger, putting Parker to
third. On Oldham's fly Parker
scored the first run. Mangum,
different from any one else that
day, parked the ball scoring
himself and Giles, making the
score 3 and 3 at the end of ' the
eighth.
Now came the time for close
playing but we were found lack
ing. Ualdwell was struck out,
Lambeth flew out, and so did
Fisher, leaviner Lattimer on I
bases . By .-bad playing on our
part as well as the desperate ;
efforts of the Islanders the score
in tne ninth was made 4 to 3
against us by J. Davenport
scoring the deciding, run. "

We Get Two More Chances at Them. ;
There is no need of giving up
hopes that Mountain Island can
be defeated by Concord for there
is yet two good chances for us to
win. The schedule made out
some weeks ago by Managers
Patterson and Jordan gives us
two more games with the Island
ers. On Monday the 21st we
go to Mountain Island and play
them a game and on Friday, the
25th, we get a chance at them on
Charlotte's diamond. Now
wouldn't it be great if we were
to, like they did, beat them on
their own diamond and then beat
them before the people in Char
lotte. This coming Friday we play
the Charlotte boys again. It is
with - this team that we played
'that fine game of ball two to
nothing in our favor. On Tues
day, the 22nd, .we go to Charlotte
and
again play tne unariotte
team.
