The Kingsland ball seam came
over iast Friday to take a ball
game previously having beaten
Fernandina, Hilhard and Calluhan,
they were sure the Tcbazco
League boys could be chewed up
as well J
. They showed class hitting, but
dumb base running. They have
a good pitcher in Tharlton and
catcher in Casey, and the whole
team plays well. Outside f the
fatal eighth, they showed up nice
}ly, but in that inning the heavy
‘hittinz of Folkston proved too
‘much for them, fourteen men com
ing to bat, nine crossing the pan.
Phillips and Robinson were Folk

'a bunged up catcher sent Robinson
'behind the bat, and Sid was off in
