Post-Season Series of Baseball
Planned to Start on Labor Day
Smith-Gaddy Brawl
Aired in Court
Aberdeen Takes Second Place by
Winning One and
Losing One
To replace the cancelled Field Day
program. President C. W. Plcquet of
the Sandhills League has divised a
play-off plan that should provide
some good snappy baseball for the
fans in this section.
The plan is this: Beginning on Mon
day, Labor Day, a post-season series
will be started, the competing teams
to be composed of, on one side, pick
ed players of the Vass and Southern
Pines teams, and, on the other, pick
ed players from Aberdeen and West
End. The number of games to be
played has not been decided upon,
but it is probable that five games
will be played.
The first game will take place on
the Southern Pines field at 3:45 p.
xn. Monday.
This series was decided upon be
cause of the large number of requests
that some kind of baseball program
■be presented on Labor Day.
Closing Games of Season
As a fitting climax to a disastrous
season, the Southern Pines baseballers
journeyed to Aberdeen on Wednesday
and there, in the final Sandhills Lea
gue game for 1934, they were thor
oughly and soundly trounced. The fin
al score was 12 to 6.
Aberdeen lost little time in jumping
off to a lead, as they tallied eight
times in the first four frames and
the losers never seriously threatened
this margin.
Millar was the victim of the early
rally and his ineffectiveness increas
ed during his tenure on the mound.
Patterson took up the hurling chores
to start the fifth and stopped any fur
ther scoring until the seventh when
Aberdeen chalked up three more mar
kers.
George Martin again proved too
much for Southern Pines as he limited
the locals to six hits in his eight iu-j
nings of pitching. Purv Ferree went
to the mound in the ninth.
The victory gave Aberdeen undis
puted possession of second place in
the league standing.
On Tuesday afternoon Vass took, a
thrilling 11-inning encountor with
Aberdeen by a (5 to 4 margin as the
relief pitching of PH’ Turnley proved
too much for Abcrt'een.
The contest was a pitchers’ battle
throughout with spectacular fielding
featuring until the eleventh, when
•ach infield tried to see how many
errors they could make.
Leonard Russell went the route lor
Aberdeen with Howard Callahan as
his opponent until the eighth, when
Tumley relieved the Vass star. Russ
pitched beautiful ball all the way.
