Fort Mill Again Defeated.
A game of baseball, which wiih
by far moat interesting of the sea
son, was played here Saturday afternoon
between a crowd of young
men from Hock Hill and the bull
team of this place.
' Fi>rt Mill was firat to the bat, I
hat was promptly shut out by the,
I visitors. The H??ok Hillians sue
| reeded in scoring one run in the:
first inning. Then followed a shut
i out for both sides in the second.)
| The large crowd of Fort Mill peo. !
pie present almost went wild when
Roy Bradford, the youngest player
[ on the home team, crossed the'
plate in the third. 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. The final score
was 14 to in favor of ltock Hill.
It ini^ht be well to slate here tlint
several of Fort Mill's best men j
were unable to play, beinA; out of
town or ill.
