Fletcher Boys Still Going

Among Winners

winning the second half in the
county league in the same grand
style that they won the first hall
the unbeatable Fletcher nine step
ped right out and wallOped BoyIS-
ton 7 to Saturday afternoon,
ringing up their second Shutout
in successive Saturdays. 1t was
another triumph for b. Banks,
Fletcher's sensational mound art
list. Given almost perfect support
by his teammates he held Boyls-
ton to four scattered hits. Glib
son, the big fellow from the Pts
gah camps, pitched for Boylston
End gave up 10 hits to the deter
mined Fletcher lads. The game
was played at Fletcher.
Perhaps the best game played
thus far this season was the con-
test between Fruitland and Green
River at Fruitland. 1t was one
of those thrilling affairs featured
. by spectacular pitching and air
tight defensive baseball. Fruit
land won by the score of 3 to 2,
but was held almost helpless by
Green River until the latter IN
nings of the game. p. Thompson
and j. Albrittan pitched for
Green River and held Fruitland
to fiey hits. Fisher and Briggs
on the mound for Fruitland and
yielded only three Safeties to
Green River batsmen.
East Flat Rock and BalfOur
hooked up in another tight affair
that was rained out in the eighth
inning. But Flat Rock (accord-
ing to reportS) won the game by
5 10 4 score. ]. Jackson pitch
ed for East Flat Rock and was
tonched for four runs in the first
inning but settled dwOn and
pitched real baseball during the
rest of the game, striking out
most of the Balfour batsmen and
allowing no more scores. B. Crisp
working on the mound for Bal
four pitched good ball, striking
out a lot of men and allowing
few hits. The game was played
at Fast Flat Rock.
Valley Hill at Mills River! All,
here's a game for you, if game 1t
could be called. it was one of
them bleary-eyed, disgusting af-
fairs that make ball players
throw their gloves and bats away
and spectators remain at home.
In the first place Valley Hill
went out to Mills River with
about half of a team, no umpire,
no scorekeeper, no ambition, no
nothing but a mild desire to play
a little baseball of a sort. Well,
they finally found enough school
boys TO rig up a lineup and the
fraeas was begun. Everything
went off fairly well until the
fourth inning with the score 2
to l in favor of the Killers. Then
il began to rain and the fun be-
gan. The balls got wet and
muddy and the Killers began to
trim up trees on the outer edges
of the park with wild throws.
And to make a good day of it
they let infield rollers roll for
home runs and triples, etc. At
bat they couldn't hit a lick. IL of
them striking out. Oh, yes E.
Case, the writer of this column,
was in there, on the mound, to
be explicit. But after the balls
got wet he couldn't put thing
ION EN- but a wish and allowed Is
sound base knocks and 13 runs.
On the other hand Mills River
trotted out their strongest lineup
and tried to both win the game
and please the spectators B.
Wright was on the mound, and,
despite the miserable condition of
the balls, he pitched good game,
striking out 10 men and allowing
only two runs in seven innings.
F. Corpening took the mound in
the eighth inning. But in the
ninth, in a downpOur of rain, he
was touched for five rus and had
three men on the bases and only
one man out when the umpire
called the game thus ending the
Killers chances Of catching up or
winning. The score reverted back
to the eighth inning and was 13
TO 3 i'm favor of Mills River.
