FRIARS POINT
KNOCKED OUT
Only Made Seven Runs IN the
Three Games.
PLAYED ONE GOOD GAME
Wednesdays Game Was One Of the Best
Seen Here This Season -McGlIl the
Toast or the Rootsrs.

Sommers' boys turned the tables on
the Friars Point team and won the
game Tuesday, by the excellent work
of Millett In the box, and the skillful
use OF the stick in nearly every inning.
The game was as slow an exhibition
OF baseball as has been seen on the
Greenville diamond this season.
Collins, the Water Valley twirler,
pitched for the visitors, and while he
showed much speed, our boys soon got
onto his curves and they had the
sphere sailing in every direction. The
game up to the fourth inning stood l to
0 in favor Of Greenville. Millett had
the Friars Point batters at his mercy.
and the rooters in the grand stand
would count one, two, three, as the
Friars Point batters would take their
places, but some of the boys did find
his curves and one or two hit for two
bases, where they would generally die.
The long drive over center by which
Collins made home run in the fifth
inning, to be called out for not touch
ing first, caused the spirits Of the yisi-
tors to fall and see their defeat in the
diamond mirror.
In the sixth, when the three last
scores were made, there were two men
Nelson and Durand -on bases and

grounder near first, which Wheeler
followed, but it was picked up by Som

would have been two out, but on this
error and Burt's drive three scores
were made.

in July for Friars Point, their ther-
mometer going down TO zero from Me-
Gill's icicle spheres, from which place
| It never moved.
No kick Of any kind came from the
boys in red. They made q noble fight
and lost. Kane, the pitcher for the
Friars Point team, pitched great
game. but owing to the condition OF
Nelson's hand. did not have the best
support. rhe game was pitchers
battle only five hits being made DUR
ling the games It was the second game
Of the series between the rival teams,
and owing TO the poor ball played rel
Gently the attendance was not as large
as usual.
Up to the seventh inning neither side
scored. McGill was first to bat, and
he drove grounder to Schumeyer who
put him out at first. Ramp followed
and got first by being hit; O'Connor
picked up stick and drove sky scraper
TO center which was caught bv Du-
rand; Ramp made second on Nelson's
drop; Wheeler hit for two bags, and
Ramp scored. The other innings end
ed as the first six, giving the home
boys the honors. The features of the
game was the pitching Of McGill and
Kane, the fielding of Durand and the
scarcity of errors on both sides.

got little close and looked doubtful,
but the way our boys used the stick
made the fellows with money up on
Friars Point look sick.
Collins was in the box for Friari
Point and pitched a good game. Muir
ply curved the sphere for Greenvills
in manner that gave the opponents
seven goose eggs. The features ofths
