(???) Toweters Take Advantage of Locals’ Mis plays and Cep Last Contest,—Lee Scores Three Rons. Kannapolis, angered by two consecu tive defeats at the hands of Gibson, turn ed tables Saturday afternoon and won from the locals in a listless contest by a 4-2 eount. , Very little of interest can be recorded, the game being largely devoid of spec tacular plays and thrilling moments. Fink's home rfhi in the eighth, Gibson's scoring of a run in the fifth and several pretty catches by McLean and Hatley rnight be placed as the feature points of the afternoon’s amusement. Fink’s home run enme ou the occasion of his last trip to the plate. In the three games «f the week, his batting was not of the same dangerous character which formerly caused him to be dubbed the home rub king. In fart, his recent ef forts had brought for him the name of pop-fly king. Kates evidently thought he had lost his former cuuning at the. I'late because, after getting two strikes on j F*ink. he losseil him au easy slow bnll j which split the plate. A healthy swing J sent it flying into the cotton fields bor i dering the left field. | Gibson's run in the fifth gave the fans heart failure. Gates led off in that in ning with a double. Haynes was safe when Holshouser errored his slow ground er. Holshouser seemingly became rattled and issued his first hase on balls to Hawn. With the bases loaded and lio outs it looked as though Gibson had at last her chance to make a bevy of tallies which would win for her the game. Hard luck overtook the locals, liow j ever. Baumgartner struck at three of J 1 lolshoilser's offerings, this youth having ,by this time recovered his customary ; poise. Fritzie Belk came up ami took a j winked swing at the ball, tapping it just enough to send up a weak ]sip-fly to Bains. Then A1 Johnson approached the plate. He whiffed at the two first ones and Holshouser tried to get him to strike at the third by throwing him a few wild ones. Three balls made the count three-two and on the next one the ball was far from the plate which gave him a walk ami pushed Gates In. Hatley followed b.v striking ami the inning was over. Three of Kannapolis' scores were made by Russell Lee, diminutive right fielder, (hi two occasions he was safe on errors and on the third he took a walk. Each time lie helped himself along by means of clever liendwork. In the first inning, he attempted to sacrifice Saunders . and j was safe when Harbin threw the'ball : wild. He was sent to third on a walk and a fielder's choice and scored when Fink was given four balls with the bases loaded. His next score came in the fifth. Saun ders had walked and Lee was safe again oil an error. McLean hit to Belk who threw him out at first. Saunders tried to make it home and was caught by Gates. Gates, thinking he had hit Saunders too liard in tagging him. stop ped to apologize and while lie was doing so Lee went oil to third. He scored when Miller singled. His last run came when he was given a walk, stole second and went to third I on a had throw b.v Chinnier, scoring on a single by McLean. Gates allowed his opisiuonts a few hits Saturday but injured his chances for victory by his numerous walks. Ex cept for his two walks in the fifth. Hol shouser pitched his usual steady game. This victory for Kannapolis 'caves the games between tile two teams at a dead lock with three victories for each and one tie.
