Newport 8, Tuckerman 3.
In a fast and snappy game of
ball the Newport high' tsehool
Team defeated the Tuckerman
high school team by a score of
j8 to 3, Friday afternoon.
I The local lads were determin
ed to win after suffering an over
! whelming defeat at the hands of
Batesville high school team, and
went into the game to seek
sweet revenge.
Coe started on the mound for
the visitors and pitched good ball
but his support was ragged, his
team mates making numerous
errors.
Loyd Finley was on the firing
line for the locals and the crack
little southpaw held the hard
bitting Tuckerman team to four
scattered hits and only one of
them was for extra bases. Un
like Thursday’s game with
Batesville, the Newport team
didn’t take the acsension yester
day as they did behind Ryan’s
fine pitching, but they played
with the vim and spirit it takes
to win ball games.
Only two errors were chalked
up against the locals and that is
some different compared with
eleven in Thursday’s game.
Coe pitched an excellent game j
for Tuckerman, striking out sev
en but his team mates made so
many uncalled for errors and no
pitcher can win a game by him
self.
j The game was at times very
interesting, three fast double
plays being pulled off by the lo
cals. And one feature of the
game was in the 6th inning,
when with a man on second for
Tuckerman W. Coe singled to
right and the runner on second
made a dash for home but Pur
nell’s beautiful peg to Stallings
had the runner by a good mar
gin.
The Batesville team was to
play here today but rain inter
feared with the game. The
schedule calls for several games
here next week and every one
come out.
