NEWBERRY LOSES FIRST GAME.
Defeated by Augusta T. VI. C. A. on
Saturday Afternoon by Score of
5 to 0.

! West End 4; Augusta Y. NJ. c. A. O..
West End 0; Augusta Y. NJ C. A. 5.
The above is the story in brief OF
the series of three games played be-
tween West End and the Augusta Y.
NJ. c.. A teams in this city on Thurs
day, Friday and Saturday afternoons.
With the capture Of the first two
games, West End made it's record for
the season ~ victories and no defeats
but the unlucky thirteenth! Well,
that's another story. It's bad enough
to be defeated after such a glorious
record of successive victories;;' it's
worse to be shut out; but, worst of all
West End did not get anything having
even a symptom of hit in that last
mix-up. To say the least of it, that
was pitching some for the Augusta
twirler, Leopard, for it is a matter Of
history that the Newberrians are one
Of the hardest hitting aggregations
among the amateurs Of the State. The
Augustan also failed to walk a man,
which fact, coupled with his other re-
markable feat Of not giving up hit,
is equivalent to saying that not West
Ender was allowed to reach the first
sack during the entire nine innings.
The first two games were pulled off
on the college diamond-and here, it
might be stated, "der luck was nit us. -
In the Thursday afternoon game,
Waldrop, the ex-Clemson pitcher, was
well-nigh invincible, allowing only
three hits, while the ex-Carolina twir-
Ter, Wyche, who was. for the time be-
ing an Augustan, was touched up for
1G safeties.
Score by innings:
R H E
Augusta. .O02 900 00O-2 8, 1
West End. 100 O24 10*-S 10 l
Wyche and Moring; Waldrop and
Mccall.
In the second game, Edison, the ex-
Newberrian, showed the quality of
stuff of which he is made, by letting
the visitors down with only one hit,
and came very near doing the Leo
pard act by having only % men to face
him during the nine innings. His
pitching was the feature of the game.
Score: R H E
Augusta. g. 900 900 000-0 1 8
West End. .O3O 900 O1*-4 8 0
Lester and Moring; Edison and Nc
Call.
But it remained for. the much-de-
feated aggregation from over in the
neighborhood of North Augusta to call
q halt on the scalp-taking of the here
tofore-invincible Newberrians-and it
all came about through the doings Of
one Leopard. This game was played
on the West End grounds. It was an
off-day for the hard-hitting locals, and
through nine innings desperate efforts
We're made to shake off the hoodoo Of
the thirteenth game-but, somehow, it
just wouldn't shake.
The tale of woe, by innings, follows:
R H E
Augusta. 900 001 220-5 8 2
West End. 900 900 O00-O 0, s
Leopard and Morris; Waldrop and
Mccall.
Mr.. W. H. Hardeman handled the in
dicator in all of the games Of the Sc
ries, and his work was very satisfac-
tory to both teams. .
The next game will be between West
End and picked team from the city,
which will be called at 4.3O o'clock on
Saturday afternoon on the West End
diamond. This will be benefit ganie
for Sam Jones, the popular second
sacker of the West End team, who was
badly Injured in a game at Clinton
several weeks ago. It is hoped that
large crowd will avail themselves of
this opportunity to see good game,
and at the same time assist in a
worthy cause.
Other games are now being arrang-
ed by Manager Price, and local fandcm
will probably have the pleasure of wit
Messing good games throughout the
summer, provided they support the
team by their attendance. The West
End team is the strongest amateur
aggregation in the State, a fact well
shown by their remarkable record to
date. In this connection, it might be
well to state that this team has gone
down in defeat only four times in the
past three years, record which is
perhaps uneQualled by any amateur
organization anywhere in this part Of
