No. 8.
ll TO 7 AND ONE INNING DUE US.
McCrory took the firstgame of
the season from the Augusta
hoys last Friday evening in a
number one game of baseball.
Considering the little practice
both teams have had it was a
good game, and everyone enjoyed
it. If you missed the game you
certainly missed a rare treat, 12
to 7 over Augusta’s team and
our boys having an inning com
ing.
The Augusta team was com
prised of Stanley, Hoggard,
Smith. Elliott, Shoup, Otey, Rob
inson, Revel And Airheart. The
McCrory team of Patterson,
Herman, Yarbrough, Lewis,
Crossett, Chaney, Gatlin, Walker,
and Smith.

Quite a number of Augusta
people were in attendance and
a great deal of interest was
shown in the game. The visitors
went to the bat first. At the
end of the 3rd inning Augusta
people became “very loud” in
the demonstrati m of their suc
cess and their horns could be
heard pealing forth their enthu
siasm Tt was then that the
fireworks began. It was a great
mass of human5 t-y. waving hats
and handkerchiefs, blowing of
horns and yelling in about one
hundred different keys. In the
fourth inning Will Wilder no
ticed that the fires of Augusta
began to wane and didn’t make
bones about informing them of
the fact. He began insistin.gand
intreating them to blow “their
homs,” but like the song goes,
"she wouldna get thee gone,”
they wouldna blow the horns, not
because they didn’t want to but
because they couldn’t see it that
way. This hurt Bill and lie be
gan to blow his. The score stood
7 to 4 at this time. Talk about
down-in-the n outh, well the
“horners” wne very much in
that fix and th 1 horns -were “out
of date” throu liout the remain
der of the game, while our boys’
natural bugles were so severely
taxed that quite a number have
been more or less speechless
since.
Dave Burkett who yelled his
little yell for McCrory as well as
the rest of us, took pity on Au
gusta about this time and began
crowing for them, but his yells
h;ul lost their charm and Augus
ta had to bow her head to the
inevitable.
^ bile ail the boys did well
Herman our pitcher deserves
special mention. It was through
his ability as a baseballist that
we won the game.
