The Piedmont Journal Banner made
the following reference to a ball game
between the Annapolis and Piedmont
clubs in Piedmont June goth: "The
Annapolis miners Inundated Manager
Harley's crack ball team Sunday after
noon before a large crowd with a
score of 2 to l. The game was well
contested and the ultimate outcome
was shrouded in doubt until the last
man was retired in the ninth inning.
1t was a pitchers battle and Halfacre
and Siusher were the bright luminaries
of the game and honors were about
even. Piedmont unfortunately un-
corked all of it's weird playing in one
inning as a hit batsman, n hit ano
three errors Melted two runs for the
opposition. Tommy Pratt, usually
reliable, was the worst offender ir
this inning being charged with two
errors. Piedmont also had opportun'
tiles to win on the offensive but the
much wanted hits were never avail
able in the pinch. Parker Warner
who Yields a big bludgeon had {
chance to put the game on ice in the
seventh inning, but with the bases
loaded to capacity and two mer
down, the best he could contribute
was. a puny pop to the first baseman

delight. Its spacious buildings and
grounds were thrown open to his
friends and they we're entertained
with true southern heartiness anC
hospitality. Among these friends
came from other. localities men dis
