The Winder baseball team has
‘succeeded at last in reaching the
top in the standing <>t' per centage.
This has been accomplished by per
sistenl and determined hall play
ing.
.Monroe came to Winder last

and took the first. Morris was
on the mound for .Monroe and with
the assistance of errors made by
the locals he had litlLe trouble in
packing off the spoils.

ton. Winder. Cochran & Higgins.
Winder came back Friday and
won the game played by the score
of bto 3. The home team beat
Rent/, as usual with ease, and as
they have done three previous
games. The weather was unusu
ally hot and Cothran showed that
he lmd plenty of stickability by
staying through the grind.
The game Saturday was a pitch
ers’ battle from the first hall to
the last thrown. Babe Wi. lei- was
doing the hurling act for .Monroe
id was opposed by Pantone. \\ il
"der gave up four hits and Pantone
three. Winder‘'scored her two
runs in the sixth after two were
out. Red Barron got life on an
error, stole second and scored on
a two-base hit by Bevo Webb.
Bevo scored on a single by Bob
lliggins. Webb and Higgins, as
usual, pack around hits galore in
the pinches, and these hits at this
time was glad news to Winder
fans.

The game played Tuesday was
another humdinger—a pitchers’
battle between Cochran and Voss.

hurlers did during the game Sat
urday but they tightened up in
the pinches. Winder won by the
score of 3to 2. Winder scored
its runs in the fourth and fifth.
During the fourth Guyon was hit
by Voss. Kssau Settle was to sacri
fice him to second, but he did not
do that, he beat out the throw to
n rst. and both were safe. Belk and
% /ebb got out which made two
men down with Briekley Smith
up. He waited for one he liked
and placed it up against the left
field fence which scored ffuvon
and Settle: Smith was left on the
bases. In the fifth Red Barron
opened with a three-bagger over
against left field fence and missed
a few inches going over. Higgins
brought him home with one of bis
timely singles.

the eighth with no outs. After the
two runs Cochran and the Winder
team tightened up and stopped
the scoring.
In the ninth inning Settle open
ed with a three-bagger to right
field but was not brought home.

walked. Ingram was sate on an
error. Claud Satterfield, the phe
nomenal hitter, was struck out in
a pinch. Poland followed. The
first was a strike, the second a hall
and he fouled a few until the cris-
is value with a man on third and
second, with two strikes and three
balls. Cochran threw a pretty
one over. The fans understood
lientz. the umpire on balls and
strikes, to call the batter out
which made the third out. but he
changed his decision and gave Po
d ''his base. During the argu
ment over the change in decision

after tbe question had seined to
have been settled. At this point
we saw one of the dirtiest deals
ever pulled off. Instead of letting
the players settle their argument,
as we do in Winder, part of tlie
Monroe bunch derided at once
Rent/, needed help and dived in.
when someone struck Higgins
on the bead with a pop bottle.
The good people of Monroe do
not approve of methods of this
kind at a ball game arid regret the
oeuranee and a number apologized
for the action of the ruffian. They
should make an effort to keep the
fans off the field when any misun
derstanding comes which would
prevent any dirty fighting. After
the fuss had been stopped with
three men on bases the next batter
popped up to second for the third
out.
Batteries —Winder. Cochran & Dig
gins. Monroe, Voss & Clements.
Winder won the game yesterday
in a walk by the score of 12 to 2.
Cothran started for Winder and
was relieved in tlm sixth by Pan
tone on account of being hit by a
pitched ball. He was hit on the
head by a fast one and was knock
ed out. Pantone had easy sailing
after he went in. The whole Win
der team bad on their hitting par
ephernalia and hit Wilder with
ease. This game put Winder in
the lead.
Batteries- —Winder, Cothran. Pan
tone, & Higgins. Monroe, Wildei
& Walton.
Winder goes to Washington for
three games and this series will be
hard fought. Winder will not
