JULY 15, 192(1. COVINGTON TWENTY-FIVE; LAWRENCEVILLE THREE. The Covington base ball team, on the local diamond, before an audience of several hundred fans, in trying out the new park Wednesday afternoon, took the Lawrcnceville team, which had come here to play bull, and set them down so hard that it was really notice a ble. However, the rubbing the visitors received might have been due to the fact that the first ball in christening the new hall park was thrown over the plate by Mayor Henry Odum, while Rev. J. C. Combs did the re ceiving act, and the enehore from the spectators put the spirit iu the game. Lee. of the locals, in the second in tiing. made a hit. placing the ball on the other side of a fence beyond cen¬ ter field, at which time three men were on bases, and from then on the locals scored in every inning, and at the end of the seventh inning the home team had put twenty-five meu over the plate, while the visitors run in three. At this opening game the people were convinced that the home boys ure a little above the ameteur class, and throughout the game many good plays were made and the batting av¬ erage proved to be a problem not to be overcome by the visiting pitcher. Lawreuceville has a fine set of boys on their team, but they need more practice. Score by innings: Lawreuceville ... 001 002 0 — 2 Covington, .. .. 531 040 6 —25 Friday, July 10th, Ruthledge will play Covington here. It is said that Rutledge has a very good team, and the fact that our boys are not afraid to tackle anything, we believe they will he kept from making all the runs hat are made. BOLL WEEVILS ART GETTING SERIOUS IN NEWTON COUNTY In conversation with Jim Luck, county agent, he reports the boll weevils are more serious than the lieople may think. They are becom¬ ing more numerous every day and es pedal 1 *’ urge* 'hat all farmers go to the limit iu making some effort to keep them down as far as they can, and suggests that burning the squares will do great good toward giving New i in county a g.j.d cot to- ciop. Mr. Luck has raised $500, the same being contributed by the va¬ rious merchants of Covington. This money goes as prizes to those who are making a fight on the boll weevil and since it has been proven that burning of the fallen squares will help wonderfully in keeping down the weevil, it is suggested that all cotton growers start at once to pick up squares and receive some of the coin. See next week’s paper for full announcement of the fight on the pest and the prizes. NEW GINNERY FOR COVINGTON.
