Fletcher seems too good for
the other teams in the county
league. They have everything
that goes to make a champion
ship club. Their pitching is spec
tacular, their fielding sensational
and their hitting too good for
the average amateur pitcher. Be-
sides they have a bunch of sea-
soned and experienced players
who know all the ifs and ands of
the game. Their star pitcher,
Bruce Banks, looks good enough
for the Piedmont league.
B. Vaughn of Green River and
Gibson of Boylston are two of
the best players in the league.
Both these boys smack out hon.
crs in almost every game they
play in, besides, Vaughn is SEN
sation at shortstop and Gibson is
a nice pitcher.
Boys who specialize in long
distance hitting are V. Drake of
Valley Hill, f. Ward of Fletcher,
B. Harvey of East Flat Rock and
H. Pittillo of Fruitland.
After hitting safely in every
game played in this year J. Case
and +. Gibbs were stopped by
Banks at Fletcher Saturday.
These boys play with Valley Hill.
Mills River just about blew
their chance of winning the first
half by losing to Boylston Sat-
urday. They had dropped only
two games and they have one to
play with Fletcher before the
first half ends.
By winning all their games in
Guiding the one with Fletcher
they could have tied Fletcher
even if Fletcher won all theirs
except the one with them.
But if Fletcher wins from
Fruitland Saturday they will have
the first half cinched, while if
! they should lose the next two
games Mills River, Green River
and Fruitland would all have a
chance of tieing chem by win
ming their next two games. It's
left up to Fruitland and Mills
River to stop Fletcher.
The boys call Jeff Ward Of
Green River Frog" He could
beat the New York Yankees with
wet ball. And Green Rivers
diamond lies between two creeks
When Jack Sharkey and Primo
! Camera face each other Thurs,
day night there will be four men
in the ring instead of three
Sharkey, Camera, the referee
and Ernie Schaaf. Although he
will be fighting Sharkey the grim
! yisage of Schaaf will be before
! Camera. When he has an op.
portunity of landing a terrific
punch the blood and vital nerve
force will refuse to rush to his
great muscles. There will be q
cold fear in his heart--a fear OF
killing another man-that viii
take the killing power out of his
blows. On the other hand Shar
key should put up the greatest
fight of his career. y Uppermos
in his mind will be the determin
alton to avenge the death Of
Schaaf, his pupil and companion
With Schaaf whispering to hin
! through the silences Sharke'
should fight like a savage, and
unless he lets berserk rage over
come him, he should give Car
nera the whipping of his life.
The New York Yankees are
about reaGy to go on the skids
!, Like "The Deacon's Masterpiece
they are going to pieces all al
once one of these days. ...
Leon Warneke, ace pitcher Of
the Chicago Cubs, is the hard
luck pitcher of the major league:
this year. He has lost most Of
the games by scores of 2 toll
2 to 8 and so on. The Cubs, hayt
no batting punch. #aa
j., | don't think so much of Man
Baer. His fight with Max Schm
cling didn't prove much. MAJ
