The first nine began its mid-week games the following Wednesday, playing High Point School to an eleven-innings tie. Jeff Ogden was at his best that afternoon and went through eight frames without allowing a real hit. He was rather liberal with passes, but those, like Wyndham’s errors, were scattered, and the opponent never got a man past second while he was on the mound. High Point’s twirler was touched up for five hits in the same period, but none of the hits led to runs. There was some poor base running on Wyndham’s part, and that, coupled with smart fielding by the invader, kept the home team scoreless to the tenth. Bud Moore, who succeeded Ogden, was hit more freely, and in the ninth two hits and an error by Captain Leland let in the first tally of the game and seemed to spell disaster for Wyndham. But the latter rallied in the last half of the inning and, through Raiford’s double, Talbott’s out to left fielder and a sacrifice fly by Van Dyke, evened up the score. Moore tightened in the tenth and held the enemy hitless, and after Wyndham had gone out in one, two, three order the game was called so that the visitors could catch a train. With the first playing two games a week, the second nine met the big team only on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. There was never any game on Monday since Coach Connover devoted that day to furbishing up on the rudiments. On Wednesdays the second was generally released in time to witness the last four or five innings of the first’s game, if played at home. On Saturdays, by the time May was half gone, the second held no practice at all. In consequence, when, three days after the High Point game, the first journeyed to Greenville, twenty miles distant, to meet Greenville Academy, most of the scrubs went along. Of the number were Clif and Tom. Wyndham started Frosty in the box, and Greenville, by reputation a hard-hitting lot, took to his offerings with much enthusiasm. The visitor’s outfielders nearly ran their legs off during that first inning and by the time the last man had flied out to Greene, in center field, four runs had crossed the plate. The Greenville rooters loudly demanded the removal of Frost and did a good deal of jeering, and Frosty was evidently far from happy during that opening. Nevertheless Steve sent him out again for the second inning, in spite of the fact that Wyndham had failed to even reach first base, and, after passing the first batsman, he settled down somewhat and pitched fairly good ball. With two out a long fly into left field escaped Talbott and the runner went all the way to third. He scored a minute or two later when Wink Coles juggled the ball long enough to let the batter reach first. After that Frosty worked the next man for two strikes on wide curves, pitched him two balls and then fooled him on a slow one.
