| SO many things productive VI
snort page headlines happened IN
AZ county league on Saturday
that a start is hard to make. How
ever a start will be made at Fruit,
Hand where East Flat Rock played
on Saturday. .
This was doubtless the best
game of the day, featuring some
sensational pitching and stellar
defensive work mostly on the part
of East Flat Rock who won the
game by an 8 to score.
]. Jackson, East Flat ROCKS
speed ball artist was the outstand-
ing star of the game and let Fruit,
land down with only two hits and
was deprived of a shut-out by an
infield bobble at crucial mo-
ment. But for the one error, his
teammates gave him perfect sup
port and performed at bat by
slamming out II safe hits, good
| for 8 talies.
Briggs, the school boy wonder.
was on the mound for Fruitland
and besides the impotency of his
teammates at the bat they contri-
buted 6 diSconcertinr miscues to
his losing cause.
Down at Balfour in the big
boarded park the husky Mills
River squad simply went berserk
with the stick. They drove out %
hits off 5 Ralfour moundsmen and
would up with "a scores across the
plate. On the other hand Balfour
was able to collect 9 safe bingles
and registered up safely at home
base 5 times.
]. Stevens and Whitesides were
the batteries for Mills River while
B. Crisp, Green, Taylor, Aners and
Hammett all took a turn on the
mound for Balfour. Stevens aided
his own cause by polling out a
home run during the barrage OF
Mills River hits.
At Green River, Fletcher went
on the warpath and tried to out do
Mills River by overwhelming
Green River 81 to 6. The Fetch
err lads fattened their batting av-
erages on Green River pitching by
assaulting the pellet for22 sound
and betty base knocks. Green
River got 9 safeties in the game.
J. Baldwin, tall lefthander and
IFletcher's regular first baseman
pitcher for Fletcher and was given
alright support by his teammates
who committed only one error.
J. Ward and Albrittan did the
twirling for Green River and were
given ragged support. Sorrell and
Case hit homers for Fletcher and
A. Vaughn connected for Green
River.
In the fourth league game of
the day the diminishing Valley
Hill Killers whose ranks have di-
minished until they now have only
four first class players, and the
aggregation that Ermando Hora-
tious Cascarindo, the hombre re-
sponSible for this column, is a
member, journeyed up to Boylston
and took a 7 to 6 licking at the
hands of Boylston. There isn't
much to say about the fracas. The
Killers just didn't have any line
up and lost the game on n flock
J of errors.
Ermando Horatus Cascarindo
was on the mound and held Boyl-
ston to z scattered hits but could
mt shake off the jinx of Hitler
errors that dog his path. But the
Killers did out hit Boylston IS to
z and had the game apparently
won until the eighth inning, hav-
ing 5 scores to Bolyston's 3. But
in the eighth 2 singles and 4 in
field errors gave Boylston 4 runs
and 2 run lead that Valley Hill
couldn't overcome, although they
did threaten to do so by scoring a
run and getting man on Chir1 in
the ninth with only one man out.
But two strikeouts which put a
feather in the cap of Gilreath end
ed the contest with Bolyston still
one run up.
