Methodists Beat Baptists at Ball
The Men’s Bible Class of Central Methodist church beat the Men’s Bible Class of the First Baptist church on Wednesday afternoon at the baseball on the high school ground, the proceeds which amounted to something like $75 going to the athletic association of the Shelby high school. The game was very exciting, but the Methodists seem to have had the lead on the Baptists, making nine runs in one inning.
George Moore and Paul Webb constituted the battery for the Baptists for a part of the game, but they grew tired and were relieved by J.W. Howell and Claude McBrayer. Horace Grigg and Charlie Webb pitched for the Methodists while Carr Cline and Clarence Leonard received. Peyton McSwain and T.B. Mitchell, both Presbyterians umpired the game.
