For the fourth time in as man; games, the Watts' mill team, of Laur ens, s;ent down in defeat before th< strong West End aggregation on Sat urday afternoon on the latter' grod~nds, the score being 7 to 6 Th'' gs looked gloomy for the New ukerfians for the first four innings du, to a multitude of errors, but wit) a core of 6 to 2 against themn in'th< ourth, they got together and woun< up the contest in their favor. New berry was "batting some" when th< winning run was made, and with no body out and everybody getting a hit there is no telling hom many run: would have been scored had the en tire ninth been played. Ragged fielding on the part of Wes End during the first part of the gam< was responsible for the big lead fo: Laurens, but the locals came dow: out of the air in the fifth, and havini settled, the vistors never even got peep-in at the finish. Mills, who twirled for Laurens, wa: hit hard, especially in the eighth an< ninth innings, while Eidson, th< young college pitcher, yielded on?l: four hits and struck out nine of thi Laurens aggregation. The game Saturday was the last i. the series between these teams, an< having clearly shown its superiorit: -over the bunch hailing from th neighborhood of Jacks townsh4 West End will now be looking fo more worlds to conquer. Games wil be arranged with Pelzer and othe mill teams in the State, and with t.h -Mechanics, of Columbia, so the loca .-fans will be assured of some good ba] during thie summer months.
