WHITWELL CLEANS UP
LOCAL SLUGGERS

Whitwell, Aug. 90. The Whitwell
ball team defeated Sequatchie on the
grounds here today in a one-sided af-
fair. by score of 10 to 4. Sequachee
ran a score in the first on error. Then
they we're held until 7th when they
ran three scores on wild thrown balls
The Whitwell boys played good ball
from start to finish. Smith, the Whit
we'll srd baseman, was sick and out
of form, but did some good batting for
the locals. Graham, the new catcher.
featured the game by his classical
catching and hitting, only letting one
ball pass during the game. Coppinger
was in the box for Whitwell in perfect
control, cutting down II of the Sc
quatchie sluggers, allowing only 3
scratch hits, and walked two men.
Price, jackson and Sanders were in
the field, jackson being the only out
fielder getting chance in the whole
game, accepting it with all ease.
Shirley was at second base with a per
feet day, not making an error. W.
Coppinger was the first sacker for the
locals, taking all chances and not
missing single putout. Kelly was
at short for Whitwell with his usual
snsppy playing. The locals played the
best game of the season, keeping
down lots of errors.
Curtis led off in the box for Sequa-
chee with good control. but bis sup
port was very bad, all through the
game. Sam Curtis, the noted batsman
for Sequachee, was at bat A times, was
walked twice and struck out twice,
not getting single hit in the game.
Smith, the Jasper centre, was whitfield
twice during the game, not getting a
hit. Hurrah for Jasper Hill. the
crack LIST baseman for the Sequachee
team. was out of the game on account
of work at the News Office. Sequachee
played the worst game they ever play
ed on these grounds. Seemed as tho
they were asleep at times and they
never put the pep in as they usually
do The game went off quietly and
no fuss occurred, for which we are
awfully glad, The game will be re-
turned at an early date. We are al
ways glad to play the Sequachee boys.
They are nice lot of boys and we
were glad to have them with us Satur-
day. Mgr. W. A. Meagher was we'll
pleased with the game, and more than
likely we will go against some teams
further down the valley before the
season closes.

parations we're completed. By river
the body had travelled a distance Of
almost eighteen miles. Some of the
rivermen engaged in dragging the
stream at the lock and dam advanced
the theory that the body passed the
dam by going through the locks. A
tug went through Friday night a
short time after the drowning, and
the JoeWheeler went through Saturday
night. However. others, and they are
in the majority, are of the opinion the
body went over the dam sometime
Sunday night, after rising to the sur
face OF the water. 1t had been declar-
ed that the body would rise within
forty eight hours, and within that
length of time after the drowning the
river showed a rise of several feet and
water plunged over the crest of the
dam at depth of almost two feet
The current was sufficient to have car
ried heavy object over. One explain
alton of this theory is that if the body
had gone through the locks it would
have been discovered If floating and
that it could not possibly have moved
eighteen miles under water. Another
bit of evidence to support the theory
that the body went over the dam is
the condition of the head and upper
shoulders, showing contusions. 1t is
believed that these resulted from the
fall over the dam.
Funeral services were conducted
Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock from
the family residence on Look out
mountain.
