Leesburg, although my own team was
at Hillsboro. Leesburg and High

and there is great rivalry between the
teams. In fact every time was en-
ployed to pitch over in that district II
looked two to one bet the game
would end In fight. We played on q
partially inclosed pasture field with
small stand, and the hat usually was
passed to collect the admission price.
I believe each team had won two
games that season and they were to
play of the championship Of Lees
Creek township. Now right on the left
field foul line there was small barn.
The foul line cut ten feet from the
corner Of the barn and Mcclure was
the left fielder. We came down to
the ninth inning with the score tied
and the crowd going crazy, and then
Leesburg scored run, making the
count to 3, and we seemed to have
1t won. l was going along easily, and
with two out thought the game was
about over and handed up soft one

up and started to pitch just as hard
