    ATLANTIC STEEL CO.
WINS FROM L.G.I. IN
ELEVENTH INNING.
•By “CHUG” COMBS.
In ten innings of the hardest
fought baseball in many a day at
Locust Grove, the strong Atlantic
Steel Co. team won from the L. G.
I. boys in the eleventh inning.
Combs pitched a splendid game
for seven innings, but after that
weakened and was hit freely.
Luck was all that saved him in
the eighth. But in the eleventh
the Atlantic Steel Co. manager
sent in a pinch hitter; he was hit
by a pitched ball, then two-base
hits by Parker and Griffin, and a
couple of bingles by one member
of the gang netted them four runs,
thereby winning the old baseball
game by a 6-2 score.
The only features of the game
was the hitting of Poland and base
running by Anderson and the jam
up playing of the whole Atlantic
Steel Co. baseball team.

A nice shower was welcomed
here Thursday night, which will
help garden truck very much.
Last Sunday was such a lovely
dav that we could not stay in
doors. We took a stroll in the
afternoon through our city, visit
ing the cemetery, city hall, library
and viewing many other beautiful
buildings, among them being the
postoffice, court house and many
other homes, finally wending our
way homeward by the terminal,
which is a nicely arranged struc
ture. We have always heard that
Griffin was a pretty place, and so
we find it, especially since nature
has clothed it in her coat of green.
We saw vaults in the cemetery
which had been built years ago.
They were a sight to one who had
never seen anything of the kind.
We were a little bit lonely today
because our minds wander back
to the Sabbaths our boys were in
camps and how in the early after
noon when they would spend the
week-ends at home we would be-

how we would await a hearing
from them to know that all had
gone well. Dear readers, you

some of course are still in anxiety
