FLETCHER AT SALUDA ,
In the hardest fought and
doubtless best game of the day,
the Saluda Mountain Toppers
trounced the strong Fletcher ag-

In the first inning the Champs
scored twice due to the results
of errors, but from then on they
could do absolutely nothing with
Ward.
Baldwin started the game for
the Champs but was taken out
in the early innings. Justice re
lieved him and pitched good ball
during the remainder of the con-
test. But the twirling of Ward
and the tight defense of the
Mountain Toppers was Just too
much for the Champs.
L. Heatherly cracked out a
