hnal or an interesting contest In base
ball at Whitwell Saturday afternoon.
Sequachee took the lead at the start
and never was headed. Both sides
played some fast ball, Whitwell's er-
ror column being the largest, how
ever. Sequachee's batting was a
feature.
Sequachee was sent to bat with Xix
son in the box for Whitwell, and
Thornton behind bat. Mosier was out
at first, Jones and Martin hit safe
and came in on Smiths drive for a
homer to the railroad embankment in
left field. He was held at third, how
ever as boy returned the ball to left
fielder Dykes. and the umpire did not
see the play. Third baseman Smith
smuggled ball and the Sequschee man
was out. Leland hit safe, but was
| left on base on Lasater's out at first.
For Whitwell, Shirley safe on error,
but Kelly, Thornton and Graham
couldn't deliver the rap to bring him
in. Sequachee ., Whitwell O.
In second Sequachee added five to
its repertoire. Curtis singled, Brew
er likewise bringing in Curtis, Hill
sacrificed and Brewer scored on error.

and Smith all scored on their success
sive hits, aided by Leland's fine drive.

three down. Sequachee 7. Whitwell 0.
In third Curtis was out, Brewer
scored on his fine hit and Hills sacri-

In fourth Jones hit safe, Martin and
Smith were out in order, but Leland's
second safe drive scored Jones. Lasa

and Kelly also got safe on hits and
Thornton's second safe drive scored
tAem. Graham out at first. Sequa-

was out at first Hixson, Jackson and
Summers all secured safeties. Smith
drive to outfeld was captured, Shir
ley out at first. Sequachee 8, Whit
we'll 8.
In sixth Jones, Martin and Smith
were victims Jackson was in the box
for Whitwell, having taken Hixson's
place in third inning. Kelly was ont
at first, Thornton got on base for the
third successive tims but was held
there while Graham was out. Dykes
also reached the initial sack, but Hix-
son closed the inning scoreless. No
change for either side
In seventh Smith started some more
fun with a rafting two sacker. Le-
land flied out, Lasater scored Smith,
and came in himself on Curtis fly to
centre by some very pretty base run
ming. Brewer was out at first. Jack
son, Summers and Smith were set
down in order in Whitwell's half,
some neat work being done. Sequa
chez II. Whitwell s.
In eighth Hill was out at first by
close margin, Mosier was another the
same route and Jones finished by drive
to outfeld. Whitwell couldn't charm
out any runs i'll their half for Smiley,
Kelly and Thornton were all out most
ly by the first base route.
In ninth Sequachee took another
dope for the run column, Martin scor-
ing on his hit, Smith, Leland and
Lasater going out in various ways
while he scored on the manoevres. |
Dykes, Hixson and Jackson were un-
able to do anything for their side as
far as scoring is concerned, going out
in one, two, three order.
Mosier pitched a splendid game for
Sequachee and received excellent sup
port, barring two errors, a ball thru
shortstop Martin, and wild throw
over first by Lasater. Both errors let
men score and perhaps half of Whit
wells runs we're made on these two
errors. However, these men balanced
the matter by making four runs them
selves so everything was lovely. Jack
son pitched finely for Whitwell, and
will be heard from later. if he keeps
coming as we'll as in his initial effort.
Smith made fine catch in left field.
He and Leland bore off fielding hon
ors for Sequachee, while Hixson did
the same for Whitwell, Brewer caught
inely for Sequachee and his two short
Dassed balls did not allow a runner to
score. Thornton was in line with first
lass work for Whitwell, and his catch
If an infied fly when collided with
oy his pitcher was excellent.
