Three Infield Misplays AL
low Two BOttlers to Score.
The Game Was Close
and Hard Fought
T. C. /. LEAGUE STANDING
MANUFACTURING DIVISION.

Three infield errors gave Viva two runs
in the eleventh inning of yesterdays am
ateur battle at Redwood Field and the
strong team of Avondale Mills was elm
mated from further chance at the city S
title. The final score was to /. The
Bottlers' victory was a great surprise, as
the millers had been rated by some as the
strongest contender in the fight.
Smoky Bob Loveless pitched good ball
for the Millers, but when his teammates
assembled in the eleventh he was deprived
of the verdict in another hard fought
game Riddle pitched consistent game
for the Bottlers but perfect support
saved him from suffering defeat. Love-
less gave up six hits, which came widely
scattered. Two hits in the first inning
failed to produce a tally for the Bottlers,
but a pair in the sixth sent across the
tying run
Riddle had the Millers at his mercy
with the exception of the first inning, al
though he was touched for eight safe
blows The millers got runners on the
paths frequently, but the Viva twirler
would tighten and retire the next bat
tiers.
The Millers jumped into the lead in the
opening inning. Hill was hit by a pitched
ball and swiped second. Ballard struck
out, but Rowe singled to center and Hill
scored. The Millers never had another,
good chance to score, although they were
in position several times where a safe
blow would have scored a tally.
The Bottlers evened the count in the
sixth. Carroll opened with single to
left, but was forced at second by Riddle.
Stewart struck out and Riddle stole Sec
ond. B. Sargent, who had before proved
easy for Loveless' benders singled to CEN
ter and Riddle counted.
The winning tallies were scored in the
eleventh. Wofford hunted and took Sec
ond, when Carter heaved wild to first.
Carroll hit to Tucker and he fumbled it.
Wofford dashed for the plate and john
son threw wild, allowing Wofford to
score and Carroll to reach third. Riddle
went out, but Stewart hunted and beat
it out, Carroll scoring on the rap. B.
Sargent lined to third and a double play
followed.
The Viva team played jam-up ball all
the way through. Riddle pitched as good
a game as Loveless, but had the breaks
with him. The victory for the Bottlers
gave them further chance at the title and
eliminated the Mllers. Only about 500
people witnessed the game Avondale
was a 7-to-5 favorite before the game.
The next game of the series will be
played tomorrow, when Avondale clashes
with Birmingham Railway, Light and

figures it shouldn't be that way and
has made a protest on the game. The
Traveller folks base that action on a
decision by Umpire Cy Morgan in the
sixth inning, when a Traveller runner
crossed the plate and the score was
not allowed.
Birmingham players convinced Morgan
that Kirby, who had forced Manning at
second, kicked the ball when Clark threw
low to first, and Derrick was only able
to knock the ball down. The ball rolled
all the way to the bleacher fence and
Barbara crossed the plate. Morgan ruled
it a score but several volleys of argu-
ment by Baron players brought about a
change in the decision. Then the Trav-
eler orators came on and the game was
further delayed. But Morgan wouldn' t
change back and Boss Starr entered a
written protect.
But, nevertheless, the Barons deserved
to win this game. Dickie Robertson was
unhittable when runners were on, and
his support was working grandly even on
a muddy field. An hour and a half s
downpour preceded the game, but never
theless the two teams took the field at
4:3O and went the entire nine innings.
