In a very exciting game here Satur day afternoon the fast Watts Mills team blanked West Knd, of Newbcrry, to the tune of 1 to 0 in an eleven in ning contest. Verily, it was a great game and the large crowd present went away fully repaid and satisfied that they had witnessed the fastest game of the season. Newbcrry has been play ing great ball this season, and has not been scored against, however, their spotless record was smashed to pieces Saturday evening by the Watts slug gers. Simpson was in the box for Newberry and the ex-collegian was in fine form as usual, but was up against a tight proposition and got ofT very light is the opinion of the Watts supporters. His team fielded in great shape behind him,' but were a little shady on the paths. Prince toed the slab for Watts and hold the heiivy Newberrians safe at all stages, 'he however, had to work out of several tight places. In one inning Newberry had three men on bases and none out but a fast double from home to third and a strike out retired the I side wi chout damage. Sargee in center I for WPttta played a fast game, as did Ncsbitt at second, Irby at third, Franks I at. .short and Swygert at first. Haw kins cnujrht a very steady game, while Hobo in right took bis chances easily. Honham in left did not have a single chance. Todd umpired in great .style and there was not a kick registered at his decisic ns. Score- R.II.R Watts.1 (? 1 West Knd.0 9 !J Batterie? Watts: Prince and Haw kina; Went Knd: Simpson and McCall.
