for Parrot, and with better support

team was overcome by the onslaught
of ihe local heavy swatters, and the
disastrous result for the visitors was
a ] 6 to defeat Although this
sounds like an uninteresting game it
was far from it, as every run scored
except one was put over in the fifth
inning, when the home club found

him hard, his curves and straights
looking alike to them all. Horne
proved a distinctive feature in the
game, fielding his position well and
hitting the ball for three safeties,
Two Of them being for two bases each.

ing superb ball, allowing only one
scratch hit, while F. Williams feat
aired with home run. Dismuke and
Veronee did the pitching for Sasser,
