the Ward grounds last Sunday by q
scoie OF TO 3. The second chapter
was nip and tuck battle that ended
after nine innings OF fast warfare with
both teams right whtre they started as
far as scores were concerned, so that

eighth fusillade OF bingles by the Car
terville slugologists, coul led with two
walks aud two more errors allowed four
more runs to filter ACROSS the can, max
a total of six. Cromwell's triple and
Griffith's double addt d one for Jasper

SECOND GAME.
Cochran and Hawk engaged in a hot
pitchers battle in the second game thai
lasted till darkness put an end to hostil
tiles. 1t had been previously agreed to
make this game seven innings, but tbs
seventh round passed without run tc
the credit of either team, so the ight
went on. AT the close OF the ninth il
was too dark to field ball with any
certainty, so the game was called.
Cochran had the best OF the battle
; with Hawk, allowing only two hitt
while the Sox found Hawk for four; anc
keeping the bases practically clear o
baserunners, whereas red clad legs ad
orned the pillows in almost every inning
Both pitchers worked fast ball mos
I of the time, Hawk resorting almost ex
clusively to this delivery, which wa
made very effective by the low sun be
hind the twirler's back.
Carterville almost scored in the thire
when Walkers long dive bounded owe
the hedge in right Frost jumped tn,
fence and fielded the ball back iu tim
10 hold the runner at third.
Jasper almost scored in the nintl
when with two out and McComb ol
third, Cromwell's third strike elude,
catcher Harpool. McComb crossed tn
plate safely, but Harpool got the bal
/ out of the weeds and threw low to Walk
er at first. Walker dug the ball out @
the dirt and saved his team from defeat
There's no use giving thascore
innings when all the innings were alike
TIE score was 0 to 0.
4 NOTES.
McComb made two very difficu
catches in short right field.
XII Cromwell got three hits in the tw
games, the best record OF the day.
2 Burkett's drive in the first game wa
5 one OF the longest Of the year and wit
any luck at all would have been
homer. The ball didn't bounce twent
feet from where it first landed.
CarterVille had three OF the Goodma
team with them, Hawk, Wilson an
Harpool.
