As stated above, the slugging third-sacker was the batting star of the game for the winners. Three times Praither advanced to the home platter, and three times he pounded Clyde Anderson’'s offerings over the left field bank, two beidg homers and the other a triple, and three times the slugger traipsed home for tallies, a perfect day at the plate. No other man on the winning team was able to secure more than one hit, although Gene Lumpkin’s lone bingle was of the four-base variety. .John Thurmond, victo rious slabman, set the conquered crew down with bDut seven hits, Harvey Lawrence, who gathered two for four, being the only play er on the Hancock team who was able to secure more than one hit. Although the losers did not fare s 0 well against Thurmond’'s slants they turned in a perfect fielding performance, not a man on the team making a .single error, which is a very wunusual @ happening in the “Y” loop. o Doe C.er;;ry announced yesterday that today’'s game in the Business Men’s loop between Hancock and Vason would be played, athough it had been called off originally, because of the game in Augusta.
