visitors and Richardson for the home
team For the first two innings, al
though neither side scored, the visit
ors' had the better Of the argument.
The Game Cocks could not find the
puzzles that Thackam sent across the
plate. while Richardson was little
wild and walked two and was hit for
two safeties. But with the third IN
ming the tables turned, Richardson
steadied down and the Game Cocks
began batting Thackam at will
When the batting began, the Orange
burg team seemed to go up in the air
and errors were piled up on top Of
errors tG help along the heavy hitting
of the home team.
After three innings Of this merry
go-round Thackam appeared to lose
heart entirely and at his request
Cook the third baseman, took his
place in the box. Cook besides being
an AL lnlTQ SdChcI, SSSi11S ~ OS q
pretty good emergency pitcher, and
despite his burlesque stunts, pitched
creditable bail, and the Game Cocks
made no more runs. It is true none
were needed and there was no use in
working hard to pile on the agony,
but Cook finished the game with
goose eggs in the Game Cocks col
umn to his credit.
The home team started in to play
great ball and their work throughout
was excellent, but after few innings
everything was so one-sided that
there was not much credit in multi
plying the scores.
In the fifth inning Welsh was hit
a terrific blow on the head by a pitch
ed ball and had to retire from the
game. Fortunately, the blow was
glancing one and he was not seriously
injured.

considerable ball pluck, which was

Cinch the Pennant.

The home team won yesterdays

foregone conclusion. Later on four
more scores were chalked up and Or

run was earned. The visitors made
a hard fight from start to finish and
never gave up until the last man was
out. They We're simply outplayed.
They could not get on to Prices balls
and the few hits they got were scat
