FAIRCL0TH Won It
Pitcher Was Too Much for st.
Joe and Kaws Took Game.


Faircloth as q relief pitcher for
Pepper Clarke, was responsible for
the defeat Of the Drummers in the
second game Of the series. Clarke was
alright for three innings and appeared
to have everything ON the visitors.
and he had to retire In the sixth.
Duffy pitched q good game for the
Drummers but the Kaws punched their
eight hits for five runs, which resulted
in the victory. The score was to 4.
Clarke looked as good as old wheat
in the mill until he allowed two runs
in the fourth inning. The Drummers
appeared due for another score in the
fifth. but with one out and Drummers
on second and third, Fox hit into a
double play. He hit a line drive to
Tallion, who threw to Cochran and
caught Duffy on the base He retired
in the sixth after allowing three hits
and two runs.
Duffy did not look as good as Clarke
but 1t must be admitted that he pitched
a good game and is a nervy youngster.
Tallion hit him for home run in the
second inning which was enough to get
the nerve of any pitcher. He hit a
ball high on the outside corner. Fox
watched the ball sink out Of sight in
the neighboring field of oats. Duffy
did not seem to bother about the big
slash and kept going. In the third In
ming, with one out, Clarke and Cochran
singled in succession. baltimore went
out, Wall to Patterson. but he put the
runners on second and third. Forsythe
hit for two bases and both runners
scored. FOrsythe stole third. KOerner
walked and then FOrsyth4 score on a
double steal.
The Kaws got their final run in the
fifth inning. when Cochran led or with
a pass. baltimore singled. Cochran stole
third and scored on TalliOn's single.
Fox started the scoring for the
Drummers in the fourth inning by get
ting the first hit for his team-a triple.
He scored on a sacrifice fly by Davis.
Ham Patterson followed in the same
inning with a mighty .wallop which
went over the left field fence. In the
sixth, with one out, Peterson singled
and Britton and Pettigrew followed
with triples which netted two more
runs.
The Kaws looked like different ag-
gregation and this is probably due to
the presence of one baltimore, who
replaced Lemon at second base. Lattf-
more had but three chances and got
away without a scratch but his pres
ence on the infield appeared to be suffi-
Gent to give the club more confidence
and they played like champions. Tai
lion distinguished himself at shortstop
by accepting seven chances without a
bobble and used good judgment. AL
though somewhat inexperienced, he
looks about as good on this job as any
man that has shone on the local
grounds this season.
The score:

house. was accosted by local merchant:
"Why didn't you buy that bill of goods
from me? could have saved you the
express and besides you would have
been patronizing a home store, which
helps paw the taxes and build up this
locality" With characteristic frank
ness the farmer asked: why dom
you patronize your home paper and adj
vertise? l read it and didn't know you
had the goods have here, nor do ever
see your name in the paper inviting one
to come to your store"
