LAWRENCE HIGH
TAKES OPENER
FROM BESSIE TEAM

The Sentinel League season opened
for Lawrence High with an S-3 vic
tory over Besse High of Albion. The
day was unfit for good baseball and
the few fielding errors were more or
less excusable.
Besse High was unable to hit
Bragg successfully and their defence
was none to strong. Lawrence got a
four run lead in the first and were
not headed thereafter.
In the last of the first Dorian and
Perry singled. worked the double
steal and Dorian came in with the
first counter when Rood threw wild
to third. Perry scored on Bosses
run, on Bradley's roller and .O'Brien
and Marden raped out a two sack
err apiece.
Albion was lucky to get three
scores in the third, as with two out
a fluke hit through the infield and bad
error by Johnson produced their
scores. They scored another in the
fourth. Lawrence filled the bags in
the fifth and walk forced in a run
but Turner frightened up and famed
Perry and BragS was thrown out by
Spearin.
Bradley. Perry and Marden did the
heavy hitting. Bradley's high fly
cleared the left field fence for hon.
err and Marden followed it with line
drive to center for three bags. Tot
man and Dorian pulled off good
plays in the field and Sennett took
everything near him in right field.
Bragg bested Turner in the strike out
column getting IA to Turner's dozen.
