WE WERE DEFEATED.
In the Tenth Inning Mountain Island
Scores the Hun That Puts the
Islanders Ahead For the Season The
Score Tied from the Eighth to the
Tenth. ' . ,
" Wo lost the game! "
That's what we had on our
lips Friday night when we re
turned from the baseball game
in Charlotte after playing a tight
game with the Mountain Island
boys. This was the third game
this season v with the Islanders
and this game makes them two
to our one in victories.
This was the last, game of the
season and an unusually large
crowd from here and Mountain
Island, assisted by Charlotte,
attended the game. - It was, as
the score will tell you, a close
game and good ball was played.
Neither team scored until the
fourth inning when Reed came
marching him. This was when
the grand stand, Concord's part
at least, went wild and when
Iceman, opened not that mouth of
Ms. The Islanders had yet
failed to make a straight line and
our boys held them down until
the eighth inning when Fox,
cunning-like, slipped home.
Then we were one and one.
Now was the time when excite
ment reigned and all wondered
-what will the harvest be."
Like billows the roar was inces
xlrm the ninth and yet there
jras no deciding vote cast. On
tVey went over into the tenth
and this step proved fatal to us
for Meade in the tenth scored,
after making a hit to first, steal -ins?
second and third, made, home
on a pass ball. .. : .'
