Last Sunday afternoon the Covington Mill Trojans
went to Eatonton and came hack with a 10-7 victory.
The fact that six home runs were knocked in the game
pets it aside as something unusual.
Joel Bowen, left fielder for the Trojans, parked
two homer* over the fence to account for four of Cov
ington’s runs. The first circuit smash by Bowen
would have been an easy out at Trojan park, but it
fell over the left field wall at Eatonton for a home
run. However, the second smash by Bowen had home
run written all over it. It would, I think, have gone
over the fence at Trojan park. The ball was well hit.
Davis hit two homers for Eatonton. His first blow
would have cleared the Trojan park fence, hut his second
four-bagyer would have been caught had it been hit at
the home of the Trojans.
There is a certain amount of thrill in a home run.
The fans like to see them. But with a ball park like
the one at Eatonton in no time at all a home run
register* little or no more excitement than a hard hit
double will in our ball yard.
When playing at Eatonton (here is a certain amount
of strain on a pticher that isn’t present in parks as large
as the one at Covington Mill. For every time a long
distance hitter comes to face the pitcher in the Eatonton
park there is the ever present threat of a home run being
hit. The pitcher has to ‘‘bear down” on every pitch. It
is apt to make a pitcher wild, this dread of a high fly
going for a home run.
Eatonton scored seven runs off Buddy Baker,
who hurled for Covington Sunday. Six of those runs
came as the result of -balls being hit over the fence.
Imagie how a pitcher would feel out there on the
mound in the last half of the ninth inning with the bases
loaded, two down and with a one-run lead and Davis, the
long fly hitter of Eatonton up!

McKay Take* Rainey Team
In Wild Game Monday
By 12-9 Score.
Southern Bread managed to stay
within striking distance of the
league-leading McKay outfit Tues
day afternoon by defeating Ben
nett-Cofer in one of the most thrill
ing softball games of the season, 6-5.
It was nothing short of a story
book finish for the Bread boys. The
score having been tied at four-all
since the fourth-inning. Southern
Bread pushed over a run in their
part of the sixth inning to lead, 5-4.
Bennett-Cofer took advantage of a
base on balls and an error and a
base hit to knot the count, 5-5 in
the first of the seventh frame.
"Doonie'’ Hicks led off for the
Bread team in their part of the sev
enth and smashed the first pitched
ball to the cemetery for a home-run
and the ball game, 6-5.
Ole Two-Hit was on the mound
for the Bread Team and couldn't be
called anything short of a "bread
winner” giving up only six hits. Leo
Master was on the hillock for the
losers, being touched for a total of
eleven hits.
Cecil Cowan hit best for the win
ners with a home run, double and
a single. Robert Cowan was the only

hits off Kinney, both of which were
singles. All six hits were singles
McKay defeated Rainey Monday
