PROTRACTED ARRAY
High School Wins Out in 18th
With One Out.

The Marion Co. High School team
and the Sequachee team battled for 13
innings Friday evening for the su-
premacy, High School winning in last
half with one out, to 3. Winning
run was made in 13th on a base on
balls, a steal, freak hit past third
and an error.
Mosier was in the box for Sequa-
chez, Smith receiving. He did fairly
well, but issued several passes. A.
Jackson in left did some cracking good
work, making one hand catch up
against the left field fence. W. Jack
son was star at second, making a
splendid running catch in twelfth.
Kelly played errorless ball at short.
The hitting of the team was light, all
their long drives being captured by
High School outfelders. Four double
plays featured Sequachee's work
The High school had Kelly in the
box with Bennett behind the bat.
Kelly pitched excellent ball, and Ben
nett's receiving was perfect. Dietzen
in centerfeld starred with running
catches, his last effort saving his
team from defeat The entire infeld
of the High School worked we'll, and
played classy ball. Errors were few.
High School got the start 3 to 0.
Sequachee scored two in fourth, and
tied in sixth, and the game remained
a tie until last half of 18th. High
School went ten innings without scor-
ing.
Simpson umpired but was little
hald on the visiting team at start.
The game was tiercely fought, and
there was lots of debating. Sequachee
practically having no team now, four
Whitwell players, the Jackson broth
ers, Kelly and McCampbell assisted
them.
