DEBERRY PITCHES In MASTER
LY FASHION AND HOLDS VS.
ITORS RUNLESS.

1t was all Joe Deberry yesterday af-
ternoon. That is it was Joe who kal-
somined the Charleston team while
his playmates were collecting a total
of three runs, and marked up their
fourth victory in a row. Charleston
deserved to lose and lost they did
without any apparently great effort
to stem the tide of defeat, despite the
fact that the score indicaes a close
game. Indifferent and slow playing
by the visitors aided the locals in
their scoring, and Deberry's pitching
took the punch from the Charleston
attack. Joe turned in a total of elev-
en- strike outs for the afternoon and
allowed only four Charlestonites to
bother Fuller at first base.
Two pretty bits of fielding work en-
livened an otherwise tame afternoon,
and Umpire Pender added spice by
his autocratic election of Purcell in the
first inning. Patterson in center for
the visitors stepped out and robbed
Stevenson of three base hit in the
fifth with McDuff and Murray on the
bases, and Critz in the ninth raced
over behind the negro bleachers and
pulled down foul fly. It. was the
niftiest bit of fielding seen here this
season.
Pearson started for Charleston and
after walking four men in the first
three innings, and giving a hit to
Critz in the fourth retired and Stew
art took up the Charleston burden.
Stewart got by the fourth in handy
fashion striking out Fuller and Saun-
ders with Umpire Pender's aid, but
the locals got to him in the fifth and
put the game on ice.
McDuff first up hit fly that Ro-
manic allowed to fall safe for sin
gle, and Murray put up another fly
and was safe on the hit when Rom
anio and Clifton were doing the Alph-
onse and CASTOR act over who should
make the play. Loomis dropped one
down and was out at first, McDuff
and Murray each moving up station
on the out. Stevenson then uncorked
a tremendous hit to left center that
looked good for three bases, but Pat
terson made great catch. McDutf
scored after the fly was caught and
Murray went to third on the throw to
catch Nc. Critz ended the inning on
a fly to Patterson.
The game was sewed up in the sew
enth. McDuff again lead off with a
hit. This time over second. Murray
sacrificed, pitcher to first and McDuff
took second. Stewart walked Looms,
and Stevenson hit high one straight
nm in the air that Klintworth caught,
then Critz slammed one a mile MN
,ta inst out of Meatte's reach and NC
Duff scored from second. Clifton's at
tempt to catch Loomis was wild
throw and Loomis counted for tne
third run. Fuller was out third to
first. !,
Gurley and Deberry singled in the
ninth after Saunders was out and NC
Duff's sacrifice moved them up a sta
tion apiece, but Stewart famed MUIR
ray for the third out.
Charleston got one man on N the
first, second and fourth and sixth IN
nings, and only one Of them reached
second this after two were out IN the
sixth. and Deberry ended the inning
by striking out Meatte.
Umpire Pender was peeved at Pur-
cell in the first inning, after Purcell
had questioned His Umps Judgment
On a strike, and Purcell viewed the
game by special request from the Dog
House. Pender's decisions throughout
The afternoon displeased the fifteen
