Daniel pitched a great game, giving up only two hits and fan ning 14 men, while Tillman was touched for 18 hits. The new men on the Locust Grove club showed up splendidly, Anderson at first played great ball, besides getting 3 hits and stealing 6 bases. Locust Grove started the fire works in the first inning—McGee hit for three bases, he was squeez ed in by Shearer; Farrar hit for two bases and was followed by a two-base hjt by Anderson, Ander son stole third and home.
