. BEEDEVILLE.
The Beedeville baseball team suc
ceeded in winning from Hickory
Ridge last Saturday.
The feature of the first game was
Roy Dawson’s two home runs. Roy
placed the ball where no one could
find it without the spectators’ assist
ance. It only took three trials to re
place the ball to its proper place,
which was home.
The home team played a very fast
game during all of the innings. Mc
Fadden’s hit to second was fine. Bert
**»*1t* il. . fl_iL ___ mnn OAA/] in
¥> lllia, bile fcJV/UUta * «»»; bwwv* **•
the box, not allowing a single hit
during five inhings. The game kept
cool until Dawson went in the box
on the first half of the eighth inning,
then things came to a focus. When
on the last half of the ninth inning
little Emery Bigham made a grand
play in left field, while falling
to the ground after turning over once
and made a double on second.
The home boys played a splendid
game with the exception of Sid Proc
tor who ran off third half asleep,
while the baseman was wise in hold
ing the ball and placing it on Sid
four feet from the bag.
I do claim that Hickory Ridge had
a splendid third baseman. Can’t say
he erred during the first game. Pete
Warton tried out in the box but never
had any success. Dawson’s two home
runs were off Warton and one three
base hit was a good boost for him.
Little daggers made a good hit off
Dawson, taking third on a good one.
There were seven strike-outs on Daw
son’s credit, six on Willis. Hickory
Ridge onlv allowed 14 hits, making
the first game score 14 to 15.
Beedeville winning this game seem
ed to revive the boys.
The second game was slow but
sure. Hickory Ridge allowing Daw
son to hide the ball caused another
home run. Gus Holbrooks followed
with a liner to second but died on
third.
Hickory Ridge has one of the quick
est ball teams ever witnessed at this
ball ground, this year, and I feel
sure that these boys’ parents can feel
sure that their boys conducted them
selves fine while here.

BALCH’S REPLY TO SWIFTON.
I wish to reply to Swifton’s write
up in last week’s Independent.
It looks to me as if Swifton could
state the true tacts oi somewung;
they stated the score incorrectly .and
also the game matched with them for
the 27th. But if Swifton’s attention
had not been called to so many times
for making untrue statements, why
the people might believe their state
ments this time.
I suppose the good people of the
county remember the statement Swif
ton made in the paper last year of
the game at Cash. Was it true?
Swifton, did you match a game
with Eight Mile last year? Did you
come? No. And they didn’t come to
play us (Balch). Swifton, is your
statement true of being the champi
ons of Jackson county? If it is,
where and when did you win your
championship. Was it from Wieldon?
Weldon, did Swifton play county play
ers only when they played you.
No, but they got beat just
the same; so you good people of the
county see how honest Swifton is in
the county contest. And you see
they are champions. Ha, I have a
letter from Swifton, stating that it
was impossible for them to play us
on the 27th, and play county players.
Now, Swifton isn’t it impossible
to play us at any time.
