STARSTAKETWO
FROM GASTONIA
Will Play Easely Team
Team Here This
Sunday
The Franklin All Stars won their
15th and loth game, of the season
by annexing the twin bill with
Gastonia over the week-end, 5-2
and 4:2 respectively.
The games served as a tune-up
for the encounter with the Easley,
S. C, team this Sunday and mark
ed the final appearance of "Little
Beaver" Nichols in an AH Star
uniform. Nichols left Monday to
take up his new duties in Atlanta.
Right Foot First
The locals got off on the right
foot in the first game and scored
four runs on three hits to take a
lead which was never passed. A
liberal sprinkling of errors aided
the rally, considerably; only two
of the runs being earned. The! fin
al tally came in the sixth inning
when the visitors unlimbered an
error blizkreig to chase the run
across without a bingle being
chalked up.
Gastonia racked up their two
markers in the second and fourth
innings and took seven hits to
manufacture them.
Hitting Honor
In the K. O. department Nichols
outscored ' Rankin of the visitors
two to one while hitting honors
for the day went to Martin, Nich
ols and Tysinger with two hits
apiece. While Frye of the visitors
boosted" his average by getting
three for four.
The visitors outhit the locals
nine to eight but the erratic field
ing spelled the difference in the
ball game.
Bronvo In The Box
The second game saw "Bromo"
Higdon ascend the mound, and out
pitch Stover of Gastonia as the
locals went on to win.
Again, a one-inning rally proved
the decisive factor when the loc
als unlimbered their big berthas in
the fifth inning to score three runs
on two singles, a double and a
triple.
The locals jumped into the lead
in the first inning when "lover-boy"
Martin received a free admission
to finst to start the game, went to
second on a sacrifice by Archer
and score a few moments later on
errors.
The visitors came within a . hair
of repeating their scoring prefor
mance of Saturday by chalking up
markers in the third and fourth
innings.
Higdon was nicked for four well
scattered hits . and was never in
serious trouble, while his mates
were slugging out eleven hits.
He accounted for six Gastonians
by the strike out route while only
two of the locals bowed out before
Stover's collections of slants.
Advices from down the line in
dicate that weather permitting, the
locals are in , for one of the sea
Son's toughest struggles as the
Easley crew is reputed to have a
strong outfit and Manager Swan
son of the locals promises plenty
of action along with perhaps a
few new faces in his line-up when
the All Stars take the field around
3 p. m. Sunday.
