Hock Hill to | I the hat, and a shut out, Ki'/.er, the; Fort Mill pitcher, "fanning" out two of the three hatters. Two runs i were made by the home team in , the fourth, and the Hock Hillians 'were again shut out. two of thethree being called out on strikes The score now stood d to 1 in favor ; of the home team. Much time was lost in the beginning of the fifth by the numerous "kicks" of the visitors. But, like a drowning man, they considered themselves lost, and were readv to kirk on miv decision of I 'tnpire Cray ton wlu-n there whh flit* sliuhtest chance for doubt. Mr. Clayton, who in noted for lib ability ami fairness hh hii umpire, walke<I from the diamond, j and it whh some time before another man could t>esecured to tuke his place. Mr. S. L. Meaeham ' finally consented and umpired the rest of the ^aine. Fort Mill then ( came to the bat for the fifth time ; but were called out without seorin}* a run Ki'/.er a^aiu in the { pitchers box, the Fort Milliansj will surely shut the visitors out, for Kizer is o lulu, his left hand | twirlers are more tliHii the Koek i Hillianscau cope with. Hut alas! I Ki/er's arm is not of brass, steel, or other metal, and he is failing. Kock Hill scores eiijht runs in the tifth. The Fort Millions then put VY. Hoover in the box. and while the visitors j?ot m nunierouH hits on him, he diil excellent work. The remainder of the ^aiue was without incident each team scoring in rapid succession.
