WEST GEORGIA LOSES ONE AND WINS ONE At last tho long aAvaited baseball season at West Georgia College has opened with two games with North Georgia College on Friday and Satur day. April 20 and 21 The first of these games Avas lost with a score of three to two. In spite of the defeat this was an excellent game, considering tho had Aveather and considering that It was West Georgia’s first game. North Georgia brought a well-coach ed team who had already played two games prior to competing ivith West Georgia. North Georgia scored two runs in the first Inning because of an error and one-field play. They scored again on an error Avhich put the man on first base. He stolo second and came home on a single. This accounted for all of North Georgia’s scoring. They also threatened in the fifth In ning, but a fast double play cut down their rally. West Georgia’s scoring took plate in tho sixth inning by an error, a fluke single, and a double, Avhich drove in two runs, but they could not score any more- West Georgia, threatened in the last, inning by placing men on second and third. Donald Staples came to bat and batted a long hit to the left field. This seemed to be the winning hit; but Watkins, of N. G- C., after lid had fallen down, caught the ball for tho third out and saved the game- This game Avas a pitcher’s battle be tween Parker, of W. G. C., and Brown, of N. G. C. Parker, after the first two innings, settled down and piteked mid-season ball. Ho was a bit wild, but permitted only five hits- Brown bad good control, and allowed only six hits, which kept W* G. C. sluggers under control. The second game Avas won by West Georgia by a score of eight to three- W. G. €’h batters began hitting ami collected twelve hits, which won her first game of the season. They began to click, and it seems that they will mold into a formidable ball team. N. G* C’s scoring came in the s^ 6 - ond, sixth, and eighth innings. They scored the first run, but W. G. C. scor ed one in the third inning, and put tho game on ice by sending two men •across the plate, to make the score throe to one. They also scored two runs in the fifth, one in the sixth, and one in the eighth inning. Fred Williams pitched splendid ball fo r W. G. C. giving up only five bits, striking out eight men and collecting two hits. Ho lasted well, playing the entire game, and deserves a lot of credit. He should become one of W- G. C’s outstanding pitchers. As for tho hitters of our team, it seems that Kelly, the captain, will be come the leading hitter. • He got three to five to lead the hitting. Williams, Davos, and Staples collected two each, and Webb, Driver, and Entrekin, one each. W. G. C. pulled a couple of fast double plays, which came in to nip a budding rally. As to the toam, there is no outstanding star, but as a team they played well. W. G. G* succeeded in knocking Lee, the starting pitcher, who bad: to be relieved by Brown. Brown pitched the day bofore. Stewart and Lanier led the hitting for N. G. C- W. G. C- Avill return two game* in Dahlonega May 3 and 4- She hopes to take the next two games to win the four-game series. The college is very much pleased Avith the outcome of her first two games- They show what West Georgia College can do on the baseball field* The question of whether sha should have baseball has been discussed from every possible angle. These four games prove that the students are back of this sport, and that the team is one of the best in personnel. NUMBER 7
