FEW WAS THE STAR

EoOu TuEI.
 Bassett's lads from the Pine Bluff Hi won their in tial game of the season yesterday afternoon from the Henry Marx Clothing store team by score of 12 to on the grounds II Tenth avenue and Nebraska street. The game was a fast one and fu. of interest although there is room for improvement on both cams. The aggregation of High School showed 8 great deal of enthusiasm an marched with the team ill un form from the school building to the grounds, and filled the air with cheers at each brilliant play of their team.
 The critical stage of the game WIS Il the ;hird inning when the Hi boys made seven runs and whan the Henry MaIx men came to bat they put five men around the bases. The High Schoed had pounded Evans for three runs in the first inning how ever which gave them d safe lead. Again in the seventh inning they still cont nued to pound Evans blenders aboWs the lot until he was removed and Walton put in his place. The Henry Marx team scored ona run on error in the fifth inning and again in the ninth they scored when three men filled the bases bad throw made and score re- suited.
 Sorrells was the first twirler of the High to face the Henry Marx batters. They seemel luckily to hit just where he threw the pill every time. His pitching however showed that there is something in him to make h.m a good pitcher.
 Mcintyre was substituted for him in the sitxh inning.
 Both lads pitched superb ball but it is apparent that more coaching is needed to bring them into the right form. The pitching staff was tha weak poins of the Hi team. Evans for the Henry Marx nine was hit easily by the school boys. They simply slapped the ball over all parts of the field. Walton was a good successor and held the Hi down while he was n the box. He has good curves.
 The batting of the High School boys showed their good training in this line. The fielding was good, and R. Few, in Jeff field proved a real star by sensat onal catch.
 Bob" Few also led his team in batting. Out of five times at the hat he secured four hits. Christopher out of three times at bat got two walks and a hit. He was taken OUT in the fourth inning to g.ye his place in center. field to some of the new boys, as Coach Bassett wishes to try out all of his men. Manager Counce and Barber of the Marx team were the star sluggers for their team. They drew two hits each out of five times up. The main strength of Che Marx team lay in the batteries, after Evans had been replaced with Walton. Holtz- hier at first base, played good game and smashed out the only real long hit of the game, a three bag ger.
