WINS SIX
AND LOSES FIVE GAMES

After winning four of the first six
games as reported in last weeks Ad-
vertiser, the Chesterfield ball team
left last Thursday for six games on
the road. From Chesterfield the team
went to Georgetown, S. C.
The opening game was pitching
duel between banners and Sowel,
both of them pitching air tight ball.
Georgetown won, 1 to 0. The next
day the Chesterfield boys came back
and before a great crowd of George
town people won the second game, 3
to 0. Fisher pitched for Chesterfield
and the famous Bolt for Georgetown.
Both had tie goods but Fisher had the
better of the argument. Saturday in
free-hitting contest the local boys
lost to 6. Out of the six games
played with Georgetown Chesterfield
has won three and Georgetown 3.
Just prior to playing Chesterfield
Georgetown won two out of three
from the fast Darlington bunch.
Monday the local team, after re-
covering from the Joys of George
town, journeyed to Lumberton, n.
c.. to play team that had just won
six victories. Chesterfield, with Heath
pitching mastery ball, won the
game 8 to o.
Tuesday Chesterfield again played
Lumbcrton in Lunbcrton and lost
with score of 6 to 0.
Wednesday Chesterfield went over
to McColl to play the Pee Dee
lcarucrs again, but there was no
game on account Of rain.
Today the Lumbcrton team comes
here for three games, doublc-head-
-, morning and afternoon game be-
irg scheduled for Thursday and an
afternoon game for Friday This will
make i've games in all with Lumber
ton, one of the best ball teams in
North Carolina.
Next Monday and Tuesday the
fast Lamar, S. c., team comes to
! Chesterfield. Lamar has won two
straight from Cheraw on the Cheraw
| diamond. The famous "Babe" Adams
and Olin Previtt are pitching for La
mar. Lamar claims to be the cham
! pion of South Carolina. Chesterfield
is going to give her an opportunity
Monday and Tuesday,9th and 10th
to prove it or vice versa.
Chesterfield has tried in vain to
The Chesterfield advertiser. [volume] (Chesterfield C.H., S.C.) 1884-1978, 1920-08-05

get games with Cheraw. After tell
ing Chesterfield that they had games
for all of this week, causing Chester
field to make a contract with Lumber
ton, Cheraw finally told the Chester
field team that if they would cancel
with Lumbcrton that Cheraw would
play Chesterfield, provided that all
the games were played on Cheraw
diamond or part on Cheraw and bal
ance on Bennettsville. Cheraw posi-
lively refused to play a single game
on the Chesterfield diamond. The
management of the local team has
outlined a schedule that gives half
of the games on the local diamond
and the other half on the road.
Chesterfield is willing to play Cheraw
with half the games in each town
and the third game in Bennettsvillc
or let coin be tossed to see who
gets the third game, Cheraw or Ches-
terfield.
