Piedmont, the beautiful little city to

reputation of maintaining a good base
ball team. She has developed some
good ball players and many a would
be star has cavorted on her playing
fields, but the present machine, which
is attempting to uphold her l~aurels,
went to smithereens Sunday when
they faced the local wrecking crew.
The obsequies were held early; in
fact, in the very first inning, with lit
tie form or ceremony, the home boys
buried them beneath an avalanche OF
hits and runs. The requiem was fur
nished by Jesse Ruble, when, with the
bases filled to their capacity, he drove
the ball deep to centerfeld, beyond
the reach Of any Piedmont fielder,
and the shadowy forms raced around
the basepaths until the Hast imam had
counted. Des Arc scored eight runs
in this inning and Doc, the son OF
Warren, and Clacy and Clarence, the
sons of Thomas and all the princes of

refused to be comforted by the multi
tude who had journeyed far from
Piedmont to witness their exhibition.
The stellar performer for the local
crew on the defense was Buck Wallis,
who short stopped in Bobby Wallace
style. 1t made no difference how
much the ball careened or ricocheted
the final hop was always into Bucks
glove, who was always pegging first
base in big league style. The final
count was IA to 8. ISAAC.
