Tracy City Fails to MateriaIize
and Forfeits Games

The team from Tracy City which
was scheduled to appear here Saturday
for two games, morning and evening,
forfeited both to 0 by non-appear-
ance. The locals got down to the dia-
mond in the morning tor practice
and waited patiently for the boys from
the breezy heights to appear. but it
was in vain. They were greatly dis
appointed, as all had left their work
to entertain the promised visitors with
practical instruction in the national
game
An impromptu game was arran ged
in the afternoon between the locals
and the Jasper team, several of whose
players were present to see the after
noon game, and who on learning the
situaaion telephoned for others to come
up and still lacking some men used two
substitute players from the Sequachee
team W. Brewer and Smith
The game started off very evenly.
Barrett was in the box for SequGchee
and Robertson for Jasper. For two
innings the game was pretty, S. Mar
tin, for Sequachee, scoring the only
run. Jasr'r took two in the first half
of third, King and Simpson scoring,
AMI Sequachee doubled the number in
their half, Curtis, S. Martin, II.
Jones and G. Jones scoring, Doss
bringing in two with near home run
hit but being put out at the plate,
having slackened his speed at third to
take squint for the ball. Jasper
jumped onto Barrett heavily in last
half of fourth, taking five runs, Lasa-
ter relieving him after one was out.
and pitching fine ball. He really
pitched the best game be has done this
year, only three runs being scored off
him in the remainder of game. He
was given pretty substantial support
both in the field and at bat.
jasper was blanked in first half of
fifth, but Sequachee undid the thing
by adding three to their repertory,
a. Jones, Lasater and Doss doing the
trick W. Martin scored another in
sixth. Lasater and Hill in the seventh
and G. Jones and Lasater again in the
eighth. Grimes and Robertson scored |

There was liberal amount of jaw
ng, mostly among the locals at one

cam seem to think that every ball

us for fear of making an error. AS
or jawing at the umpire it is nothing
