SIGNALS IN THE WOODSIS. s. BASE BALL GAMES
Two FirstClass Games Played Last
Week by the Local Sunday
School Baseball League.

The game scheduled to be played
between the Christian and Baptist
teams OF the local Sunday School
Baseball League Tuesday evening re-
suited in a score of to in favor
of the nine from the Christian
church. The game was, however, a
great deal better and faster than
the one-sided score would Indicate,
and until the end of the third of the
four innings played the final result
was doubtful
Ideal baseball weather greeted the
contending teams, the evening being
clear and warm and without and dis
turbing wind, although in the latter
part of the game it was hardly pos
sible for the ball to be seen clearly
by either the players or spectators.
The crowd was very small and con-
| tanned very few of the supporters of
either team, and as a result there
was no great amount of roofing.
The Baptists did very little toward
winning the game in their half of the
first, going out in one, two, three
order. Peters grounded out to Gui-
ley and Dews flied to Lilly. Butter
field went out, Stewart to Guiley.
The Christians did considerably bet
ter in their share of the inning, gar
nering one run and two hits. Riley
singled to deep left and took second
on passed ball, going to third when
Coder rolled one to Lilly which went
for an easy out at, first. Guiley
raped a single through third, scor-
ing Riley, while he, himself, took
second on a passed ball, stealing
third moment later. Stewart and
Buck went out via the strike-out
route, ending the inning.
Payne started the second fora the
Baptists by grounding to Guiley
Enders was safe on M. Reynolds er-
ror and stole second. Cummings
slammed out a single, bringing
Johnny around to third. Cummings
stole and FavelI doubled to deep CEN
ter, scoring Enders and Cummings.
Swigart and Beagle famed. With
the score reading 2 to l against
them the Christians started their
work with a vim when Lilly was safe
on Dews error and stole. G. Reyn-
olds walked and NJ Reynolds famed
Burnett struck out and Lilly and
Reynolds scored when Peters missed
the last strike. Riley was hit in the
arm with a pitched ball, but Coder
went out, Payne to Butterfield.
With two down in the third But
terfield singled and stole second and
third, scoring on Reynolds error on
Payne's short fly to right. Payne
stole, but Enders went out, Lilly to
trGuiley, The real slaughter came in
the last half of the third when the
Christians with the score tied 3-S
solved Favell for six runs and five
hits, two of which were doubles.
This galaxy of hits coupled with list
less fielding on the part of the Bap-
fists set the game on ice for the boys
from the Christian church.
In the fourth the best either team
could do was to put man on third.
Lilly stole both second and third af-
ter singing in this inning.
