FORT MILL WINS FAST GAMES | FROM NORTH CAROLINA CLUBS Wednesday afternoon Fort Mill got away with the big end of the last game of the series ( with Concord, making it the two ! best out of three from the visitors, by scoring one in the first and one in the eighth. The boys from across the line did \ not succeed in getting a man beyond third base, and only one to that station. Price was a puzzle to the visitors and they 1 I succeeded in getting just two hits off his delivery. The batteries were: Concord. Cline and Patterson; Fort Mill, Price and Parks. Thursday afternoon the fastest game ever seen on the local grounds was played by Forest City and Fort Mill, and the home boys also succeeded in getting away with this one, 1 to 0, after | j ten innings of play. Both teams fielded beuatifully and the two i errors made by each were on chances that would have been passed up as hits by leaguers. Legge, pitcher for the College of Charleston, had been requisitioned by Fort Mill to occupy the mound, and what he did for the fast Forest City boys was enough and then some. But at 1 that he did't have much on Simmons, who did the pitching for j the visitors. Simmons is no i novice in the pitching departI ment. The features of the game, however, were star catches by i Poag for Forest City and by McKibbon for Fort Mill. This , same McKibbon boy broke up the game in Fort Mill's favor in | the tenth by a three-bagger to deep centre. Barr got to first and was enabled to complete the circuit on McKibbon's long hit. Then all hands went home in a good humor. ______________________ ARDREY'S ?
