YESTERDAY AFTERNOON AND
KNOCKED A HOMEll WITH
TWO ON IN THE FOURTH.
Roth performed again yesterday
and it was ip the same faultless
style l hat has characterized his last
live or six games. Valdosta got but
four bits during the nine innings,
and although they secured two runs

final score was five to two and
Thomasville made theirs in the
fourth after Valdosta had scored one
on a hit, a sacrifice and two errors
on the infield.
Mills drew a base, Murch hit safe
and Davenport sacrificed. Mur
phy hit to second and Mills tallied
on the play. Dud. then worked the
squeeze to perfect advantage, get
ting safe to first, Murch being on
third. Cb&mpUn flew out to left
and then came Roth. He hit the
ball a wallop that was terrific and
it salle on a line about a foot over
the rightfield fence. "Lefty" bad
made enough to win his game.
There was no scoring again, al
though the bases were drunk in the
seventh and Davenport popped to
second. Jordon hit one nearly as
hard as Roth did, and It went over
right field fence in the eighth.
“Lefty” Roth was there at all
times with a splendid article of
curves and straight shoots. He al
