Patterson Mills 4 7 .4C.4 How They Play Tomorrow Roanoke Rapids vs Rosemary (lirst (lame) Roanoke Mills vs Patterson Mills Roanoke Mills vs Rosemary Baseball in Roanoke Rapids reached a new high water Jmark with this game. It was undoubt edly the best that has been play ed on the League Grounds this season. It was a hair raising game with desperate chances, neither side being able to draw a long breath until the agony was over. For seven spasms neither side could get a runner past second base, much less score. In this first seven frames, Scott's pitch ing was magnificent one after another of Rosemary's hardest pdllet drivers went up against his mystic mixture and tried to locate the pellet, but with indif ferent success it wasn't there. It was Scott's first ap Iieurunce in the Roanoke Valley League and he more than made good. In seven innings he fann ed sixteen men, allowing only one clean single, Johnson's, and one scratch, Dobbins'. Welsh, for Rosemary, pitched the. best game he has pitched this seifcon and kept his hits well scattered through the frames. His support was even better than Scott's. In the lirst seven inn ings Welfh struck out eight men and only allowed four hits. In the eighth round each team put one man across. Roanoke Mills started the disturbance: C. Grimmer to first on Cushing's fumble and brother Will at bat connected with the horsehide. It was a double and C. Grimmer pranced in. No other damage was possible in that frame. Harrison fanned, Barber took first because Gilliland had rather get Grimmer at third. Carter fanned. Rosemary went to bat with Collins up. He fanned but Carter couldn't hold the last red hot one and Collins made it safe to first. Welsh grounded to Johnson and reached first safely on Johnson's throw to second that killed Collins. Johnson missed three perfectly good ones, but while he was doing it, Welsh swiped second and follow ed that up with taking sack No. U. Gilliland comes to bat and singles, Welsh conies on home and the lock is on again. Gilli land takes second base on a wild pitch and steals tiiire, but there are two men down and when Hayes fa'.s the session adjourns. In the ninth, tenth and eleven I Minings nobody could get a- " Rosemary made the only j e .l. .i . yiy oi uie season in ine f inning. Scott had gotten his passport to first and had romped on down to second while nobody was -looking. C. Grim mer went to first on Johnson's error a muffed Hyover in left. W. Grimmer sent the pill on ,a hot line to Cushing at short. Cushing's throw to Kelly at se cond killed 0. Grimmer, Kelly to Cunningham at first retired W.

Not a hit j was made by the home team dur 1 big the entire game. Scott pitch 1 eil a good game for the Rapids. ! The hard hitting Franklin team got six hits during the game but iso scattered through the frames ( that scoring was impossible. The run that Franklin did score i was done on Saraeene's lifting the horsehide out of the scenery. Three balls had been called, Scott had to put a strike over or walk the visitor, so he grooved the plate with one and Saracene did the rest. Nobody else scored.
