WALKER WAS INV^CIBLE Local Twirler Allowed Visitors Only Two Hits and Struck Out 10 Men. Six Hundred People Witness ed the Game. Fully six hundred people saw the Pi- lots defeat the Y. M. C. A. team of Sav annah yesterday in one of the best played games of the season. The rooters wete oil hand in large num bers, the Pilots’ colors were eon-pic ious all over the grounds, and every- j one present, as well ns the members ' ol' (lie team, had the inspiration and 1 tile game belonged to the Pilots. The 1 players were determined to give Wal ker good support, amt Walker was de ne: mined to pilch one of the best garbles of this life, and he certainly did it. lie proved a complete puz zle to the red and yellow hoys, and they were never able to solve him. “Fan cm out Walker” wa- the cry of the grand stand. He did it in great style and just ten of the Forest City boys were "punched.” Besides this record made by the local twirler, only two safe bits were recorded for the visitors. One of .them was a two bagger and the other a short single. Walker had speed galore, excellent control, and not a man was given a free pass to first. Pilots Quick to Begin. The Pilots commenced their run making in the second inning, and cro - sod the home plate, three times. In the third they made two more. The visitors had rather a hard time reach hjg QMtJwaß4p. tlw. first part of tile ESS. man got as far as second, and he was caught napping on that bag. Their first run was made in the fifth inning after two men were out. Stalk was on third and Righton at the bac. The Savannah catcher was anxious to get home, and was playing well oil the base. Bowen, in an endeavor to throw him out, made a wild pitch and he scored. I Five and Five. Neither side scored in (he sixth, but it looked bad in the seventh, when, with one hit, the Savannah team scored: four runs. Three oirors were made by the Pilots in this inning and it was due to he good work of Walker that two other men on liases did hoi score. The grand stand, which had been roofing and rooting, became slid denly quiet. Those who had placed bets on the Savannah team became jubilant. They left their seat- and congregated around the players beneh but the side was retired witli the score standing five and five in favor of liriiiisvannah. b Made Needed Run. The large crowd was on the qui vive. Was the Pilots going to lose Die game after having it won up to (tie seventh inning? Well, no. They came in and made the nec essary run. Frank Mallard was the first man up and he went out on a long drive to center. He was followed hy Smith, who .struck out. Old Nat stepped up, got a free pass to first. A very few expected that he would score two men being out. When two balls had been delivered to O’Connor, who was at the bat, Nat hail reached third and was suing that base for a divot ce. A hit was needed, badly needed. It was two strikes on O’Connor. A ball came along to liis liking, ami lie touch ed R up for a single, scoring Night engale and winning the game. Bowen retired the side on a fly to shortstop.
