PICKENS--THE GEM THE OFFICIAL OFIFOHPAPER OF PICKEN VOL. 51, NUMBER 10 PICKENS, S. C., JUNE 30, 1921. S CRIPTI $1.50 PERYEAR PICKENS WINS FROM GLENWOO) A "humdinger" is what Dunl Botts would call the Pickens-Glen wood baseball game played on the Sickens mill diamond Saturday; ,Car ter i atimer and other sure enough sport writers would probably rife to. it ,s a"rze-azeae" "one o f those hectic affairs;" but al that ot e could expect a sport writei on a wleekly paper to say is that it C. ME game. Well, it was al of tie' e gs together. Pickens won the gan. in the thirteenth in ning by a\scpre of 14 to 13. It was one of then mst interesting and ex citing games ever played here, fur ;ishing all v rieties of plays fron1 the big leagu , brand to the Hogwal. low kind. Pickens app rentlv had the game won at the be inning of the ninth inning, but Glenwood made three runs n the niidith, tying the score. Pickens could ,ot score in her half of the ninth. (Mace hit a home run for Glenwood ihl the tenth, but Pick ens tied it up 'again in her half, Then Glenwood looked like a win ner by making twg runs in the elev enth, but the lad.s 'on the Gem of the Foothills pushed ,over two in their t:' sf and they had to play some more. Nr ither team could score in the tuwelfth. Glenwood ,was blanked in the thirteenth, and Pickens counted the winning run in their half with on out. Casey Porter and Hagood Bruce were probably the most scintillating stars of a luminous constellation, tho ethers shone with censiderable spar k.e. Porter pounded the pellet to th'e tune of two doubles and two *sing'les and around first base he field ed a million. Bruce got four clean singgs, one of them bringing in the .tying run in the eleventh inning. With ;erfect support he would also have b'W credited with a shut oui game in nine frames. Glenwobd made five runs in the first inning after the side should have been re tired. Between the first and ninti innings Bruce allowed only two clear hits and he fanned eleven batters ,during the game. Adams for Pick. 'ens got a triple and two singles and scored the winning run in the thir teenth. Hawkins baberuthed the ball to deep center with one on ir the sixth and Mace for Glenwood also hit for the circuit in the tenth. Pace made several nice plays in cen 4terfield. Hansell Bivens had an off day in the field, but he redeemed himself at the bat, crashing out a triple in the tenth and scoring a tying run a moment later. , His long fly t< right in the thirteenth inning als< enabled Adams to tag third and score the winning run. Hopkins who replaced Lawrence as *pitcher for Glenwood in the sixth in nling, pitched well and drove in hit team's tying run in the ninth. H< ,also drove in one run and scored an -other himself in the eleventh. A large crowd witnessed the game Lineup. Pickens R. H.
