Fourth Defeated Gurley.

In the presence of about 1000 enthusl-
asts on the Mt Pleasant grounds Satur-
day one Of the best ball games Of the sea-
son was played Fourth Presbyterian de-
feating Gurley by to 2.
Though the score was a little one-sided'
both teams played a sensational game IN
the field, and from the first kept the fans
guessing as to who would have rally
and win. The rally never came for cur
ley. and it was clearly a case of the bet
ter team winning.
Cunningham essayed to do the pitching
for the winners against Harring for Cur
ley. Both put up good game and were
given fine support by their team mates.
Charley King obtained the batting hon.
ors by hitting what is probably the hard
est hit ball on the field this year, placing
it among the trees in right field, where
it hit a bough and bounded back. giving
him a chance to make only three bases.
