The Tri-Club League series of ball
games came to an end yesterday aft
ernoon, when the C. L. As and the
Chathams played one of the closest
and prettiest games of the season. II
was won by the C. L. A. team by
the score of 5 to A. For five innings
neither side could score, and the play
was SO fast and the batters went out
in such short order that the innings
averaged but eight minutes apiece.
The game was remarkable also for
the few strike outs, and for the few
bases on balls that were allowed by
each pitcher. Barrett struck out six
and gave but two bases on balls; But
Ter struck out one and allowed no
bases, and Baker struck out four and
gave but one base. In addition each
of the pitchers fielded his position WELL
and received first-class support in the
field.
Crack Playing All Around
The game showed not only good team
work on the part of both mines, but in
dividual playing of brilliant sort
also. In the first inning Clarke, at
third, made a fine left hand stop of
fast grounder and got it to first In
time to catch the runner Krenson, In
the fourth froze to a difficult bounder
from Bakers bat and threw the run
ner out, while Mcbride continued the
good work in the sixth by capturing,
after a hard run, foul tip from
O'Brien's bat.
Butler did some fine fielding, each OF
the first three men being thrown out
at first by him, while hits at the right
time by ]. Downey and by Baker
scored four of the five runs made. The
last man, Leonard the lucky" was
brought in by McGrath's hit to cen
ter-right field.
c. l.. AS Scored First,
The C. L. AS were the first to
score. w. Downey was safe on an
error of shorts. ]. Downey followed
with grounder to short, which My
ers again fumbled, but recovered in
time to catch w. Downey at third;
O'Brien went out on foul which Nc
Bride gathered in; McIntire went to
first on a gift, then Baker raped
long one between center and right
fields and ]. Downey and McIntire
scored. Charlton retired the side by
going out on a bounder from second
to first.
The Chathams failed to score in
this inning, when Baker went in the
box, but in the next they got busy"
Kelly was out, short to first; Myers
got to the first bag on hit over
third. Shrek hit to short and was
safe, and as Myers had stolen third,
pitched ball. With Krenson at the
bat, Charlton made a bad throw to
third in an effort to catch Myers; the
ball was lost in the tall grass, with
which the field is overrun, and both
Myers and Shrek crossed the plate.
A Tie Through the Eighth.
In the eighth both sides scored
twice again. McGrath got gift of
first, stole second and came home on
j. Downey's long fly to center field
fence, which Germany failed to get
Downey also circling the bases and
scoring in a drive. being pretty we'll
bruised in a dive for the plate and a
mix-up with Mcbride. OF the four
other men who followed at the bat
only one, Baker, got to first.
For the Chathams, Germany was safe
on a bad throw of McIntires to first.
Rafferty, was safe on scratch to sec
ond and Germany scored. Mcbride
struck out, and Rafferty,, who had
stolen third. scored on a bad throw
TO that base. Barrett struck out and
Kelly was out, third to first.
The last run was scored in the ninth
by Leonard. He went to first on a
grounder past pitcher, stole second and
third, and came home on a drive of
McGrath's to center-right field.
Though this game ends the series of
the local league, it does not mean
that there will be no more games, for
the c. L. AS will play cambridge
team Tuesday and Wednesday, and it
is not improbable that one of the local
teams will meet the Fort Screven
boys Saturday.
The lineup and batting order of the
teams was as follows:
