South Pittsburg Moulders' team ner,
Tuesday morning, after long wait
For the Battle Greek team, it being
1880 before the game was commenc-
ed. Barrett was in the points and
kent hits nicely scattered, receiving
good support in the field except in first
inning when by perfect handling OF
ball there could have cut out two
runs. q. Jones, Curtis and Doss did
the slugging for the team, although
there were other hits made. A. Lew
is relieved Barrett in eth inning when
s. P. was getting on to his delivery,
and pitched good ball, which aideG by
fast fielding, held them with only one
run for balance of game, and trying
desperately to tie. In the ninth, when
their final desperate rally occurred
Goff scored on his hit, and hit by
Dempsy, but Bruce and Shumake were
unable to connect safely, although
both hit the ball sharply. South Pitts
burg tied the score in the seventh with
a hit by Higden, another by jackson,
and base on balls to Anderson,
which filled the bases Goff hit safely
which brought in two. Dempsy was
out, and Bruce hit safety, which
scored two more, but Shumake and
Price couldn't hit safe, and the agony
was over. In Sequachee's half OF the

SECOND GAME.
The afternoon game was the game or
the day, Sequachee again winning to
z. Lasater was in the box for Sequa-
chez, but lost control in the Bird, and
gave two bases on balls which with
two hits gave the Moulders four runs,
Seouachee had scored three in first in
nings off Jackson, by wild throw
home to cafs.h runner, but blanked in
next three. The Moulders had scored
in second twice also and the locals
we're in the hole 6 to 3. Jackson was
pitching almost unhittable ball, and it
looked like S. P. 3 game. Lewis had
fierce odds to face but held them
down in great shape, pitching the best
kind of ball, only one run being Sc
cured off him in remainder of game.
He was backed up stoutly by his team,
and fast play followed fast play until
the spectators were almost wild. The
Moulders were also busy delivering
the goods, and three up three down,
was the slogan for innings. In the
eighth Sequachee broke loose and tied
the score King drew base on balls,
and stole second, Doss sacrificed him
third, Lasater drove safe, bringing in
King, and H. Jones brought him in,
scoring himself on a passed ball. This
tied the score Z and 7, and Curtis
three -bagger in the ninth broke up the
game Jas he scored on slashing drive
by G. Jones. The moulders also got
busy in their half of ninth. Dempsy |
got first on Kings drop of his fly, but
Anderson hit into lightning double
play, Lasater to Hill to Jones, and |
Bruce hit to Lewis and was out at |
first. Errors were few, each team
playing good, clean ball. The South
Pittsburg boys were gentlemanly in
behavior, and while in the game al
ways were gentlemany all the time.
