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.

The game played Tuesday was another humdinger—a pitchers’ battle between Cochran and Voss. They gave up more hits than the 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. Monroe scored her two runs in 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. In the last half of the ninth Wal ton was put in as a pinch hitter and was an easy out. Morgan 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 Umpire Rent/ jumped on Higgins THE BARROW TIMES SPENDS SOME TIME IN THE BOLL WEEVIL SECTION, | Mr. .1. P.

The Winder Dry Goods Store to Erect Building The Winder Dry Goods Store is in the midst of a great removal sale this week preparatory to mov ing their place of business Janua ry Ist, when their present lase on the building expires. They will he located in temporary quarters until their new building is com pleted. This is a bona fide sale and great reductions are made in order to none this large stock. This sale will continue from day to day until the stock is reduced considerably or sold entirely out. 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 have the usual line up as Belk will go home for a few days. The home boys are going to bring home the Bacon.
