Brevard Boy* Run Around Diamond
26 Times and Keep Freeh —
All Team Play Good Ball.
The Hendersonville Eagles went
down in utter defeat before tiie Bre*)>
vard boys in a game of baseball on
the local diamond last Saturday after
noon. The score was 26 tp 4.
Some of the Eagles played good
ball, but there seemed to 1^ a lack
of team work in their organization^
with fatal results. Dissatisfaction
with their pitchers brought about so
many changes on the mound that it^
would be hard to say who really
pitched for the visiting team.
' A marked feature of the game waa-
batUng and running — on the Bre
vard side. It was evident after the
first inning or two that the Eagles
were hopelessly outclassed. Keep
ing the Brevard score became a rath
er tedious affair, losing some in in
terest as the tallies gdt high up in the
teens.
The crowd of citizens who congre
gated in the shade of the oaks or sat
in autos were convinced that Brevard
has a fine team, needing only a little
practice to be able to handle eagles,
lions, tigers, or any other animals that
.they may meet. Every nttfn on the
team played a good game and proved
his fitness for the job.
Follo^ng was the line-up:
Hendersonville: Brock c. Smith lb,
B. Bradley 2b, Brookshire 3b, Rhodes
ss. Ward rf, C. Bradley cf, Drake If,
F. Drake one of the man^ pitchers.
Bre^acd: Hatcher c, Kilpatrick, p,

rf, Albert cf, Hartman 3b, Carson If.
