WITH SCORE A TIE
JASLER ABAND0NS
THE GAME

Jasper and Sequachee played an in
teresting game here Saturday after
noon which was stubbornly fought.
The Jasper boys had come up to play
morning game with Tracy End Team,
but that aggregation for the second
time fiunked, and hence Jasper and
the locals engaged in battle in the af-
ternoon. Doss, Barrett, Lasater and
H. Jones we're absent from the Sc
quachee line up, and it looked like
Jasper had an easy victory, but a
fierce fight was put up nevertheless
The locals put II. Brewer in the box
to try out in his first game, and he
certainly pitched an excellent game
If he does not injure his arm he is the
coming pitcher and will make Barrett
and Lasater hustle for their laurels.
He has speed to burn and has a wide
curve when he wants to throw it, and
fields and bats we'll. His brother W.
Brewer, also played and made two
fine catches in center. q. Jones play
ed his usual fast game at second, and
his one hand catch of high liner, by
which he made double play unas-
sisted, retiring the side with men on
bases, was opportune and corker.
He is rafting good player, and comes
miles to play on the Sequachee team.
Smith played a nice game on first, and
also batted we'll. W. Martin batted
1000, scoring two runs and being left
on bases three times.
Jasper put Robertson in the box,
who pitched two innings and was sue
ceeded by Harrison Brewer. Stewart
succeeded him, and later gave way to
W. Pope, who finished game. The
Jasper team fielded finely, even if
weak in the box. In fact, errors were
not very glaring ON either side, and
some very pretty stops and throws
were made. The game was hard |
fought mentally as we'll as physically,
and Jas. Barrett, who umpired having
lots of close decisions to figure out, got |
a vigorous cannonading of protest.
Harrison Brewer cut list base twenty
feet, and was called out, man scored |
before decision of umpire and Jasper
claimed the score. Manager Hill put |
in claim that runner was only entitled
to base when touched in succession,
and therefore the runner came in on
the out, and score was valueless. In
first half of ninth jasper tied the score
on fine batting rally, Harrison Brew

but couldn't hold. Stewart overrun
third in stealing, which made two out,
Robertson singled also, but was caught
between second and third, and ball
put on him. He forced his way on to
third, claiming being held by third
baseman Simmons, and the ball was
dropped in the melee. Barrett declar-
