LAST ISSUE
Moultrie Took Two Out of Three
From Us Last Week. Both
Won of Tifton Shut Outs
Future Games 4 P. M.
Bainbridge has had an even break
since we last gave an account of their
play. Moultrie took two out of three
the latter part of last week, and we
took two out of three from Tifton the
first part of this week.
Attendance has been somewhat bet
ter, but is not yet enough to pay ex
penses. It is hoped that next week
will see un improvement. The fact
that the games will be called at 4
o’clock after this should help out with
those who have not been able to get
out earlier.
A summary of the work of the
team, which by the way is now tied
for third place, since last Thursday
follows:
Thursday’s game with Moultrie was
won by thc score of 5 to 3. Moat of
the scoring on each side was tho re

each pitched good ball. Moultrie seat
a large delegation of rooters over rer
this game and they were sore as ceald
be over the showing ofi*their club.
Friday’s game was a veritable
slaughter, Moultrie winning 14 to 4.

A small blaze Monday morning at
the home of Mr. C. B. Scott was one
of the calls the department had this
week. The blaze was on the roof of
the home, and was caused by some
trash being lighted in the grate of the
living room, and a portion of it falling
on the roof. The damage was not
over $25 and the blaze was extin
guished by the department by the use
of chemicals, thus avoiding the flood
