two coming in the third inning. The
team batted entirely around in the
second inning getting five hits for
three runs; in the fifth they con-
verted a brace of hits into as many
runs; and again in the seventh they
came thru with two runs and three
hits. In addition to timely hitting the
team secured five stolen bases, and
three free tickets to first.
Joliff was on the mound for Will
son, and while not pitching the brand
of ball that he is capable of when
necessity demands, he worked out a
very creditable game. Not a single
run was earned off him, one error in
the Tar Babies in all the scores they
secured. From the fourth inning on
his pitching was absolutely air tight,
and was a bit of work that would
have done credit to any twirler in
any game. This is the second game
that Joliff has pitched and won dur
ing the three day session, and his
performance yesterday was consid-
cradle improvement over than of
Monday.
Again the stick work of the locals
was in evidence. Every man on the
team secured at least one hit, while
Roth had three to his credit and
Walters secured two. Roth, Martin,
Smith hit for doubles The fielding
had few spectacular features for
either side although the work of
Martin and Brannigan deserves men
tion. Martin accepted nine chances
and the error he made was following
a wonderful one hand stab of Doran's
hit, when the throw was wide to
first permitting Doran to advance.
Brannigan's spectacular stop of Wal
ker's hard hit grounder in the sew
enth featured. Leftwich in right for
Tarboro also had a good day: he
smothered seven flies, and had an
assist, which was turned into a dou-
BILE play at home when Roth was
caught on an attempt to score.
TarbUro drew first blood i'll the in
itial frame. Wolfe was out on a nice
play by Walker to Roth, Brannigan
drew a base on balls, Mcconnell sin
gled sharply to right, in an attempt
at double steal when Leftwich fan
ned Head threw low to third Bran
nigan scoring, and Mcconnell was
caught in a chase between second and
third when Walker recovered the
ball. He was out Walker to Martin to
Walters.
In the second inning Wilson came
thru with three scores. Walters led
off with a single to left, Roth doubled
by third, Miller hit a long sacrifice
fly to right scoring Walters, Roth
advancing to third, Head singled scor-
ng Roth, Head stole second and third,
Kline got an inf1eld hit scoring Head,
Kline stole second, on a hard hit
chance to Kost Jo1iff was safe at
first Kline going to third, on a
fielder's choice Martin was safe at
first Kline being caught at home, but
in the chase JoIiff reached third and
Martin went to second, Smith walked,
Walker lined out to Leftwich.
In the first half of the fourth Tar
boro evened the count by securing
two runs. Leftwich singled and
went to second when Smith fumbled,
kost singled scoring Leftwich, Doran
flew out to right, Briggs walked, and
on double steal Head threw to center
field when no one covered second
kost scoring, Carson laid down a
bunt advancing Briggs to third, and
Larisey flew out to Roth.
In the fifth Wilson came back
with two additional runs. Smith
walked, Walker singled to center.
Roth secured an infield hit scoring
Smith, Miller hit a sacrifice fly scor-
ing Walker, and Roth was out Car
son to Brannigan in an attempt to
steal.
Again in the seventh Wilson secur-
ed a pair. Martin doubled to left.
Smith followed suit scoring Martin,
Walker was out short to first Smith
advancing, Walters singled sending
Smith over, Roth was out on nice
catch by Leftwich, Miller went out
Mcconnell to Briggs.
