baseball Monday with two victories
over the Moulders' team of South
Pittsburg, 6 to and s to 6.
Ed Curtis celebrated his wedding
the day before by pitching phenOmin-
al ball ably assisted by Martin. The
rest of the team were live wires, only
one little measley error being perpe-
trated. Mosier in right field made
two splendid running catches. Smith
in left was there with the goods. Sew
eral fast doubles went via the short
stop to second to first route, played by
S. Martin, T. Martin anu Hill. Jones
played a very fair game at third until
replaced by L. Martin, who did good
work.
The Moulders were also in the game
for keeps. Love made splendid leap
into the air and got high one.
Dempsy did the same trick at second,
Chandler took in some fancy ones in
left. McMillin played excellently at
first Able pitched and was in fine
shape, Merliman supporting behind
the bat splendidly.
The game was thriller. South
Pittsburg scored one in first inning,
Merriman scoring; Sequachee tied in
its half, Smith reaching the plate.
South Pittsburg was blanked, but Hill
scored for Sequachee on his single, a
steal and Leland's sacrifice. Score to

the last half of sixth when Sequachee
took two more. Mosier scoring on
sacrifices by S. Martin and W. Mar

The afternoon game was not so SEN
sational The Moulders quit in 9th
inning after Sequachee had scored two
runs and none out, Able having been
batted out of the box. For a while it
looked as if they had the game as they
played in splendid form and with
great confidence In first inning they
scored four runs on singles by McMil-
lin, Merriman, Love, which should
have been handled as easy outs. Hig
don's drive through centre which got
away from Leland, scored three, put
ting him on third, and Dempsey's two
sacker put him home. Merriman scor-
ed in second on his hit, and Padget's
safe drive. Four goose eggs were all
they could get after that. Sequachee
blanked in first and second, but woke
up in third, B. Martin, W. Martin
and Smith scoring on safe drives aided
by Lasater's single. Score, Sequacbee
3, Moulders 5. In fourth they took
two more, T. Martin and Leland scor-
ing, B. Martin assisting in the good
work, tying the score. In fifth Smith
and Hill put two more into the
counting column, and in seventh Lee
land and b. Martin scored. S. Mar
tin went in on short passed ball,
which was stopped by Sequachee
player back of plate. The Moulders
raised kick over this and he was
sent back to third. but two of their
players quit the game at this juncture.
and the rest had to. Things were
looking bad for them any way, as they
had no extra pitcher, two had scored,
two were on base and none out, and
the entire Sequachee team batting like
fiends. "Big Bill' Martin pitched
finely for Sequachee after first and sec
ond innings, and his support after
those innings was irreproachable. Two
fast double plays featured. Ables es-
sayed the iron man stunt for the |
Moulders, but retired in fifth in favor
of Love.
Birdwell umpired both games. He
was the subject of cross fire, however,
as both teams we're after the meat.
