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.
