First Half
Rx e. Il CASE

with the halfway mark OF the
first half reached in the County
league without a single game be-
ing postponed, tied or protested
one may now, from the standings
of the teams, analize the relative
strength of the clubs and study
Of the schedule for the last five
games Of the first half, venture a
guess as 10 who will cop first
half hOnors. But the fight Is
lust now approaching its apex
and promises 10 be plenty hot
and exciting during the next five
Saturdays.
Right now Fast Flat Rock and
Fletcher share first place, but
believe you me they are going to
have to fight TO stick up there.
Green River has swung into a
winning stride now and is sure
to make things interesting for
any team that has designs on
first place. Mills River is plenty
strong and is almost certain to
tOpple over most of their OppOn-
ents. F'ruitland also has a fast,
strong team that is hard to beat.
These three teams are now tied
tor second place. The sixth team,
Valley Hill, is an enigma. The
Killers still have fighting
chance and plenty of boys who
can play good ball. The last two
teams, BoylSton and Balfour,
hardly have = chance in the first
half. but have been strengthened
and may prove to be trouble MAX
ers for the teams that have 4
chance. Anyway both these
teams should put up a strong lat
tie i'm the second half. Well, I'm
picking Fletcher, Mills River or
Green River. one, TO win the first
half with Fletcher coming first.
Here are last Saturdays re-
suits.

Down at Green River, with Big

FINGERS.
At Valley Hill Fuitland de-
feated the Killers II to 6 IN the
widest game ever seen in this |
neck of the woods. Valley Hill
committed every kind Of error
and bobble and bOne-head play |
known to baseball statiSticians.
An early count revealed that the |
Killers did the wrong thing 16I
times during the nine innings. A
more accurate count may make 1t |
worse, so why say more about it. /
But Fruitland played good ball !
behind the pitching of L. Pittillo.
Valley Hill used three pitchers,
Roper, Drake and Case. Roper
failed to last an inning in the |
box, being touched for four hits
and four runs before a man could /
be retired. Drake and Case, who /
succeeded him on the mound
were victims of errors and mis-
plays. ..-s !
