Brinson Licks Climax
In Two Fast Contests
i AAAAAA AAA AAA *
Brinson, Ga. Aug. 6.—In a hard
fought game Brinson defeated Climax
on the local’s diamond Tuesday by a
score of 11 to 4.
Batteries—Brinson: Earp and King;
Climax: Dave Moseley and Hollings
worth.
Thursday the teams met again on
the Climax park and the score was
2 to 1, in favor of Brinson.
Batteries—Thursday, Brinson: Earp
and Gibson; Climax: Lefty Lang and
HoRingsworth.
The Climax team fought hard in
both games but was outclassed by
Earp’s pitching and the fielding of
the Brinson boys.
This is the fourth game Earp has
pitched and has won three, fanning
51 men in the four games.
Earp is only 17 years old and is
considered the best right-hand pitcher
in Southwest Georgia.
Young man, when you take
that girl for a ride, put a few
bottles of Orange Crush in the
car. It helps along the cause.
