Lower and Hunt Fight Warm
Pitchers Battle at
Union Park.
CY SLIDES ACROSS PLATTER
InLast Session After a Nice Hit
Past Third Base by
Jimmy Clark.

Talk about your old ball game,
there was one at Union park yes
terdayS that was bali game in every
respect. The Fairmont Babies were
the opponents for the Drummers, and
let 1t be said right now that ther
are lots better than they have been
at any other time this year. AL
least, that's the way 1t looks to a
man up tree. What was the score?
Now You have heard that. 1t was
one big 20" for the Babies and one
mighty big Il" for the Drummers.
That one looked big because 1t was
so hard to get. Just the same as
the score at Fairmont Saturday only
this time the Drummers got the big
end of 1t.
After the umpire had announced
the batteries, Clarksburg fans were
happy, for Johnny Lower went out TO
toe the slab for the Drummers, and
Hunt, an unknown quantity, was
sitting on the bench, ready to goI
out and serve them up to the Drum
mers.
BIG CROWD.
The crowd was there. 1t is not
exactly known as to how many were
there but it is thought to be in the
neighDorhood of 1000. Quite a
crowd Of fans were up from Fairmont
for the game as the extra-inning
game won by their favorites Satur-
day led many OF them to believe that
the Babies would take the Drummers
over agaR However, in this they
were badly mistaken.
The first time the game looked
dangerous in a way, was in the sec
ond inning and it was in favor of
the Babies. Parker led off with hit
over second base and Haught sacri-
feed him to second. Lower, though,
was master of the situation and he
caused Fisher to fly to Clark. after
Gates had walked and, Hunt had
breeZed.
