The Saltwater Majestics
By J. r. S.


a65NTT]0H Majestics of Saltwater
N'41fEA were neatly trimmed 16
lH@fg to. 5 in Saturdays con-
a&Ay test on our local diamond.
The locals started right off the reel
at hitting the ball and kept it up
throughout the game. By getting
two singles and one double in the
first inning two scores came canter-
ing home. Then in the second
frame, by getting three hits, aided
with couple of errors, four more
scores crossed the home plate.
The locals were now quite content
ed with the lead they had, but af-
ter coming to the conclusion that
their opposing pitcher in a former
game had held them down to only
two hits in the entire, game, the
locals then took their places at bat
with revenge plainly stamped upon
their countenances. So in the fifth
they found the ball for three hits
land three more runs we're added
to their long lead. But the climax
came in the sixth inning when the
locals found the ball for three sin.
giles, two doubles and one three
bagger which netted them six
more scores. In the eighth frame,
to square up all accounts, they
added one more.
The Majestics on the other hand
we're unable to do but very little
to stem the onrush. However, in
the opening frame they made two
successive hits, scoring once. They
figured no more in the score column
till the eighth; then by getting
three successive singles they filled
the bases. This seemed to cause
the locals pitcher to be over
anxious to strike out the remain
Ling batsman, but instead he issued
three wild pitches, resulting in the
three base runners to walk home.
Then in the ninth inning they add
ed one more score after two men
had retired by the strike-out route.
The third man up was hit with a
pitched ball, giving him free
pass to first base, the next man
drove out long fly to center field
er, which was muffed, allowing the
man on first to 60 to third and
later scoring on a passed ball.
This ended the visitors scoring.
The last four they made were
practically given to them on er-
rors. Up to the last two innings
the locals played alright ball.
Berg, who worked upon the
mound for the visitors, was pound
ed numerically hard. After the
second inning had been played,
many voices could be heard coming
from the fans, calling for change
of pitchers, but, alas, none seemed
to be forthcoming, so Berg was
obliged to stick it out. His de-
liveries were touched up for a total
of sixteen safe hits. He struck out
eight men, passing two on balls
and hitting one batsman.
| Wells pitched the first five in
nings for the locals and his work
was exceptionally good. He al
lowed four safe hits and struck
out five men. Lee. who relieved
him in the sixth, allowed five hits.
He struck out six men, passing one
on balls, hitting one batsman and
issued three wild pitches.
| There was quite a number of
fans from the outside to witness
the game. Among them was the
Mayor of Saltwater, our former
"oGcial umpire" Mr.. Tolen, who
has umpired a number of games
here in the past, was present and
officiated for the day.
