RED SMITH GETS HOME run
Another Tie Up at Riverside This
Afternoon, With Possibly Henry
Henry and FaIkenberry and Erwin
and Smith on the Points.

1t was garrison finish at River
side Park Wednesday afternoon,
with Red Smith riding the winning
steed and everybody in the grand
stand putting on the lash.
For eight grueling innings Lewis
burg had held Columbia in check,
third base being as far as they could
ever get, and that SO seldom that
hope was almost destroyed in the
breast of the most optimistic fans.
And the visitors with their friends
were in high glee, so high in fact
that when the did come down the
bump was so sudden and SO emphat-
lie that even Falkenberry who appear
ed to have gone to the park in the
| objective case, had hut little to say.
In the very beginning there was
enough to take the starch out Of an
ordinary pitcher, but Fraser has
shown during the last few games that
he is not an ordinary man, and he
stayed the ten innings with deter.
mination that won. The first bal! hit
went through Harrison at short and
Braden was safe at first. Then to
show that he was in Hardison's class
Park allowed Pigg to put one through
him. Both should have been easy
outs, but both scored when Henry
got a hit after Turner and Fauiken
berry were out Notwithstanding the
fact that they made other errors thai
appeared to be costly at the time
both Hardison and Park came bach
strong in their fielding and saved
day on several occasions. Particu

Smith a beauty in the tenth inning
when there was one man down ant
two men on bases.

hits had peen garnered from the de

were so sick. Fraser and Rummag
were assisted to the bench by Arm

ended with Max Harrison at third.
When tho visitors came in for the
share of the tenth excitement was 9
