By hammering Smith all over tho
lot at apportune times, Brunswick had
comparatively easy time in taking
the opener yesterday afternoon by the
score of 10 to 6. But there were some
who thought that the game should
have been roped in by the locals, if
consistent pitching and little better
fielding had been uncorked when a
few errors were being made.
Notwithstanding the fact that Bruins
wick won the game handily, there Were
some thrills coming to the fans, espe-
cially after the score had been tied
by the locals in the sixth. The run
getting began in the first when
Brunswick. with the aid of an error
pushed runner across the plate The
Pilots annexed one more in the fourth
and two in the fifth, which gave them
a round quartette of runs.
A hefty batting rally in the sixth by
the locals, however, tied up the score
for a time. This is how it happened:
With three men on bases, Manchester
doubled to center, scoring three The
third runner scored on the error of
the fielder in returning the ball, while
Manchester went to third. Wolfe sin
gled to right field, scoring Manches-
ter.
The score refused to stay tied, how
ever, as Brunswick COPIED another run
in the eighth, while the bottom fell
out in the ninth and the visitors scor-
ed five more. A batting rally by the
locals netted two runs in the ninth,
but no more were forthcoming.
It was announced last night by the
local management that Porter a south
paw from the Meridian, Miss, team in
the Cotton States league, had been Sc
