REVERSED THE SCORE OF A FEW
WEEKS AGO WITH EXACT
FIGURES.
COLUMBIA TEAM BAD FORM

FAYETTEVILLE Boys Show True Grit at
critical Times and Are Never Any

Game.
The Columbia herald. [volume] (Columbia, Tenn.) 18??-1935, 1913-05-09

Fayetteville handed 1t back to the
Columbia High School Wednesday
afternoon in a holly contested game,
the score being the same as that at
FAYETTEVILLE few weeks ago, only
the Fayetteville boys had the long
cDd of a score of to 5. There was
NJ reason for the High School boys
to lose to the visitors, and yet there
we're almost dozen reasons why
thew did lose. Poor fielding on the
mart of the cutfeld, bad judgment In
base running at critical times, and
the failure of Mcdaniel 10 hold pop
foul along with other things contrib
uted to the defeat For six innings
il was a neck and neck battle, with
each side score to it's credit, and
then the visitors broke away with
two in the seventh and three in the
eighth, and when Columbia went to
bat in the eighth they were facing a
score of 6 to l against them. A bat
ting rally that sent new spirit into
the players and their friends put
three across, and in the ninth it look
ed that at least the score would be
tied, but the end came with the Wis
itors one to the good.
1t was in the ninth inning that Moy-
ers, of Fayetteville, showed his true
grit. With the boys batting him hard
and his team making errors behind
him, he famed Akin after Minor had
scored and Lowell had reached third
and Cooper was on second. Minors
pitching was not up to his usual form
and the result with all these things
against them, was inevitable.
The box score doesn't show all
the errors, for two reasons; one was
that the scorer got tired of marking,
ard another was that. many Plays
should have been errors but the rules
dc not make provision for SO classi-
flying them. The score follows:
