At Crucial Moment, With
Score Tied, “Bill King"
Drives in the Winning
Run.
By HAL JACKSON
“Bill King" Meadow was the big
hero of Friday's game when the
Slaughter agreatlon took a 3 to 2
thriller from the QulHlan team.
The ninth frame found the two
nines locked at 2 to 2. The wheel
tugned until two were down It the
latter part of thla frame. Young
Franklin waa perchod on tho key
stone base, but chance, for a run
looked'bad aa Meadow had been
having trouble with Bedgood’*
bender,. He satisfied his friend,/
team mate, and client, by driving
a single to center and sent In the
winning tally. *
'Doc" Slaughter and “Ice Hooka'
Bedgood waged a nice chunkere
battle with ''Doc” having a alight
edge., Bunched hits and an error
gave the Qullllan team a two run
lead In the first three frames, but
then “Doc” settled down and hurl,
ed no-«ft ball for tho last alx ses
sions. The Slaughter crew got to
Bedgood for their first run in the
alxvtb and tied the count when
B. R.” Bloodworth smashed his
third single of the fracas. They
won In the ninth as has already
been related.
Bloodworth and Meadow were
the offensive stars for the winners
while Bedgood and Qullllan hit the
pill opportunely for the losers.
'Apple Valley'' Nix played hla
llan team. Hie first step will be
to show “Apple Valley" Nix how to
hook slide.
