THURSDAY, JI'I.Y 15. lt!D WEDNESDAY'S VICTORY MAKES SEVEN STRAIGHTS THE WINDER BASEBALL TEAM AFTER LAMBASTING ELBER TON FOR THREE STRAIGHTS HERE LAST WEEK, JOUR NEYED OVER MADISON WAY MONDAY WHERE THEY COPPED THREE OTHERS —MADISON HERE FOR REMAINDER OF WEEK Winder took three games from Klbertou last Thursday. Friday and Saturday. The game Thurs day was a hard fought one, lull of thrills.from the beginning to the end. Pantone was on the mound for Winder, and as had pitched a game Tuesday and part of one on Monday, he was not at bis best, but he was the inner, the entire Winder team being behind him. Red Barron was there in the pinch es with Ids fielding and hitting, lie delivered two hits at the right time which enabled Winder to win the game with fair ease. Batteries: Klbertou. Williamson & Hope: Winder, Pantone & Hig gins. Umpire, Beau. The game on Frida}’ was not so jam up, but instead was rather loose in places, as there was free hitting by both teams and several errors. Fox started for Winder and was relieved by Lippett in the third inning. Woodworth for El berton was relieved in the sixth by Allen who fared but little better than did Woodworth. Donaldson, an Klbertou player, who had as sisted Klbertou to lose the game on Thursday, and also this one,, lost control of himself, lie wanted to get on Mr. Bean, the umpire, and it was necessary to call an officer to get him off the field. This act was very ungentlenianly and un- sportsmanlike, ns Mr. Bean gives his decisions as lie sees them and is fair and square. Batteries: Elbert on, Woodworth & Hope. Winder. Ox. Lippett &. I liggins. After waiting for some time for the drizzling rain to stop the game was started Saturday. The “Old Reliable” Cochran was the twiri er for Winder and Turk the “won der” for Elbert on. The fans had reasons to expect a pitchers bat tle, but on account ot the heavy field and the Elberton team being called oil’ the field in the last half of the fourth they were disappoint i ed in the duel. Cochran bad giv en up only one hit during the four, innings pitched by him and I uric was being hammered bard. After the time limit set by the rules the I game was forfeited to Winder 9, to 0. This saved Turk from being driven from the box. Elberton’s kick was on a play at the home plate. Winder had on a bit and run play with Higgins onj first and Bevo Webb at bat. Bevo delivered with a long single and Higgins scored. The ball was thrown to second as Bevo was on his way: be stopped on the path and the Elberton player hesitat ed. in the meantime Higgins was on his way from third to home. Hie hesitation of the Elberton player gave Higins the time needed to score, which he did. There was not any reason why the Elberton team should have been valid off the field and it showed unsports nuuiship when they were called oft and stopped the game. The Athens Banner stated in the Sunday issue that the game was stopped on account of fighting and that the Elberton players quietly! walked off of the field. The state-i meat that there was fighting will leave a bad impression of Winder. The calling of the Elberton team off the field was the only unsports manlike oceurrance. Winder made it three straights from Madison. The first was 2 to 1, the second 3 to 2. the third 3 to 1. Henry was on the mound for Winder in the third game and gave up only one hit, this ball was mis judged and Henry should have had a no-hit and no-run game. Kssau Settle delivered another hit in the pinch in the third game which put it on ice for Winder. We play Madison three games, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. These games will be the best se ries played in Valley Park. Kv erybody will be there to help the home team to win. you come. Young Bob Higgins is getting younger, as lie beat out an infield hit. also scored from first on a sin gle during the Klbertou series. Red Barron delivered two nice singles at a time when hits scored runs, also making sensational catehes during the Klbertou games Hevo Webb broke a record with a hit Saturday: at the time lie went to bat Winder did not have a score and after the noise had quieted Winder had nine runs. Bolk. who plays short for W in der is hitting steadily and in the pinches. Winder lias W hite, who was 'with Monroe playing utility, lie delivered a nice single that Avon the game from in Madison Tues day. Bob Higgins is still on tlie war path as he got a three base hit, scoring Belk, who had doubled and scored on the single of W liite, in the game played Tuesday. Essau Settle, who lias played steady ball and who stays in the game all of the time, broke into the star circle Monday by defeat ing Madison with a home run and a three-base hit scoring later with the winning run. Rob Hill was called to his home on account of sickness, hut i is now hack and joined his team at Madison Tuesday. •hie Guyon. the fleet-footed In dian. has strengthened the home team considerably, lie lias been hitting the old apple and when he gets on a base lie keeps them guessing as to what he is going to do next. Joe went from first to third on an infield hit, which takes some speed. “Goat” Cochran continues his winning streak, when he is in the box the game is sure to be credit ed to Winder. Jenkins is also delivering the goods; when he is right he is un beatable. Tex Henry has joined the Win der pitching staff and he is expect ed to deliver. He was in the Vir ginia league and good enough lor Connie Mack to give him a trial. He was farmed out for more sea soning with strings tied to him. Jay Smith plays exceptional good ball not he in good condition. He only plays with Winder w hen we are at home as lie is under treatment of his physician.
