THE AUGUSTA HERALD. AUGUSTA. TSA.
MANAGER BROUWERS’ CREW
LOST HARD FIGHT YESTERDAY
There Was No Available Twirl er to Replace Snyder and the
Combacks Were Defeated by Sea Gulls, 7 to 4. Smith’s
Remarkable Throw From C enter Sensation of Game. From
the Sound of the Gong Until Last Inning it Was a “Battle
Royal.”
When the gong sounded yesterday
afternoon the merry warriors pranc
ed out onto t'he diamond and com
menced the battle royal. When the
word battle is used, why its simply
meant that the two clubs went after
each other "hammer and tongs," for
that’s about the size of the exhibition
that was put up, both teams fighting
as they never fought before—Charles
ton’s object being copping that lead
ing position, anl the locals—as a last
resort for the same position, for the
two games that now remain practicl
ly decide as to whether or not the
Combacks have a "chance." Well the
Gulls captured this game by the score
of 7 to 4.
No Twirler Handy.
The reason, and the only one Tor
losing this game was that Manager
Brouthers had no oilier twirler on
the list to “linish-out” for Synder.
Barker has been playing first since
Wallace left the team, several players
having been tried out on tills situa
tion, however none, with the excep
tion of “Johnnie” being able to hold
it down, like it s’hould he; Winchell
has been used so much lately as an
“Iron Man,” that it was not possible
to again work him yesterday and
Stone was the only man left who
would he able to pitch todaih That’s
the whole condition of affairs that
Manager Brouthers faced Nope, it's
declared, right here that a pilot’s po
sition is not an easy one. for, take
for Instance, with all t'he “thinking”
that "Babe” exercised yesterday
there’s a few fans that condemn him.
Such is life in a baseball burg.
With the exception oT the weakness
in the -[itching staff of both teams
the game was one of the best that was
ever witnessed on the local diamond.
Smith’s Throw.
Most decidedly the feature of the
game, and also the sensation was
when Eberts tagged up on third in
order for the sprint home after
Smith had copped the balloon of Pilot
Hamilton, however, the attempt to
seore was ruined. Alter capturing
the pill, in deep center, “Smltey” sim
ply shot it on a line to home right
if to Berger's hands, catching Eberts,
who was still a good distance from
the plate. The feat was a most re
markable one, Eberts being a fast
man, and the distance against Smith,
hut —that’s the article of hall that was
put up yesterday. This throw was
undoubtedly the best that has been
pulled on these grounds, in fact, its
probably the best that has ever been
pulled in the South Atlantic.
An unusual occurrence came to I ass
also yesterday when "Danny” Clark
threw the sphere wild to Manager
Brouthers allowing the visitors to
score anotner run. Now Clark can’t
he blamed Tor making this slip, for If
you’ve been keeping tab on this little
sccopd-sacker it is very evident that
It's not a frequent occurrence with
him Just, look at the seemingly Im
possible plays that he manages to
make possible they all go to show
that a good plnyer will slip up once
in the season.
