Home Team Badly Beaten Sunday By Hazelwood The Franklin baseball team came back Sunday afternoon with feath ers drooping after having .suffered an overwhelming defeat at the hands of the fast outfit in Hazel- wood, i Franklin has defeated Hazelwood twice this season but Sunday was quite another story. -The Hazel wood boys were fully prepared, and the locals went up against an airtight infield and outfield and a southpaw pitcher who was bad medicine. Only . once during the nine innings did Franklin get a player to third base, and three hits were all they could manage. In addition there were five errors which meant runs for the opposing team. Hazelwood played an errorless game and the final score was 10 to 0. Next Sunday Franklin goes to Brevard for .a game and after that the Franklin grounds will be ready and most of the remaining games will be played at home, Colored Team Going Strong The Franklin Black Panthers seem to have started out to clean up all the colored teams in the country. They have been going from one victory to another, the latest being a 3 to 0 win over Sylva Saturday afternoon. The Sylva ' team was completely out classed and was able to get a play er do first base, only one time during the entire game. BEAU BRUMMEL JR.
