TIES.
The Griffin club made a field day
out of its game with the Kincaid

on the Griffin club is credited with a
home run in this game with the ex¬
ception of the pitchers. Some of the
players registered two circuit drives.
Thrasher, playing cventer field for
the local club accumulated six hits
out of six trips to the platter, one of
these being a circuit drive. -Prout at
second base, registered two home
runs, and was called back on a third
by the umpire.
When the smoke had cleared and
the score keeper, calling in several
assistants, added up the totals, it
was found that Griffin had a total of
43 runs, while Kincaid had managed
to squeeze over two counters. Fran¬
kie and Brewer pitching for Griffin,
gave up three hits between them and
Manager Mathews’ charges touched
McGee and Huckaby, Kincaid’s hur
lers, for 36 hits.
A good attendance witnessed the
one-sided battle. The following is the
