171,1 Walterboro and Cottagcville
baseball teams met for the second
time this season and in one of the
greatest pitching duels seen iji many
a day Walterboro was victorious.
Both teams have now won a game
each, Cottageville having won a
ten inning game from th e locals in
Cottageville recently.
Oaly one tun was earned during
the game/ In the face of such great
pitting it was almost impossible to
get around the bases, and the score
should have been 1 to 0 In favor of
Walterboro. The locals won the
game In the first two innings. Var-
nedore, first up for Walterboro, was
walked, and immediately stole sec
ond and third and then scored on
Williams' clean hit. In the second
E. Griffin reached first on an error,
was sacrWleed to second, stole third
and scored on a wild throw.
There was a good crowd on hand
and the spectators were rewarded by
a fine exhibition. -The feature of th»»
game was the pt+eklugjif Hi idge and
E Griffin, Bridge givingulttwo hits
and Griffin four, two of these being
of the scratchiest kind and should
have be.m easy outs. Another fea
ture was the playing of G. Griffin at
