THE UNION-RECORDER, I
NEWS
THIS BOY CHARLIE!
The biggest sensation to yet hit the HUledgeville Blues is Charlie
Tread away, short-stop, heavy hitter, pitcher, or what-have-you. This boy
Charlie, property of the University of Georgia, farmed out to M’Uedge-
viile for the summer, is showing the local tannery just how this game
called baseball should be played,
Charlie arrived in town last week in time to take part : the Colum
bus series. Since then he has taken over the leadership of the Georgia
State hitters, swatting the ball at a .632 clip. According to last Sunday's
statistics, Mr. l’.-eadaway has been to bat nineteen times, scored eight
runs, accounted for twelve hits, and knocked two home-runs. This is
enviable reccTd and all Charlie has to do is keep up the good work. We
believe that he will do just this too. In the games in which we’ve seen
Mr. Treadaway participate he came through with a bang at the plate and
cxcqpt for couple cf mistakes in his first game has fielded excellently.
Charlie is bound to lie the spatkplug of the Milledgeville team, both afield
and at bat. On the field he has the speed required to cover his position
and at the plate he is a sure hitter, swinging with confidence and usual
ly connecting for a good safe bingle. This boy Charlie is there, no doubt
about it, and
» certainly glad he’s listed on our side.
ABOVE .300
In glancing over the individual
batters list of the Georgia State
League, we were much pleased to
sec that of the sixteen Milledgeville
players listed, twelve were hitting
above .300. Milledgeville is the
heaviest hitting club in the circuit
and from lead-off man through the
pitcher the team constitutes a mur
derer’s row. It is a rare occasion
if the Blues fail to collect less than
l ;n hits in any one game. Any play-
c r on the team is likely to smack
t ie ball out of the park when he
comes to the plate. No wonder op- 1
posing pitchers seem to get a case
of “nerves" when faced by the Mil-
lcdgevQIe batters. Usually a pitcher
has a weak hitter to look forward
to, but not so in Milledgeville’s
case, for any Blue hitter who comes
to the plate is a potential fence
buster. *'*
Now, if this heavy hitting will con
tinue and the pitchers will tighten
down a bit, we again will predict
that Milledgeville will be leading the
league before many days have pass
HE KNOWS
There’s a well known proverb
which says, “you can’t keep a good
man down," and so we have back
with us in this issue our friend Capt.
Otto Conn. Mr. Conn, one of the
best students of baseball in this sec
tion of the state, acts in a kind of
an advisory capacity to the Mil-
lcdgeville baseball team. He know*
all the tricks of the trade and very
willingly is passing them on to the
manager and players of the local
team. We have noticed that when
the Captain goes to a game, he goes
not merely as a spectator, but as
an annlyst and schemer. While the
game is progressing. Mr. Conn sits
in the stands analyzing the oppos
ing team’s play and planning coup
d’etatg for the Blues, if he hits upon
something which he thinks might be
successful, he passes it on to the
Manager Butts and usually Manager
Butts will give it a trial. Mr. Conn
has bee^ instrumental in several ma
jor changes in the team's line-up
which have proved to aid materially |
in the fielding and batting of the
club. Doa't get the idea that Mr.
Conn is interferring with the man
agement of the team for that could
hardly be improved upon. He only
makes suggestions and they are re
ceived with welcome by the team
mnnager.

On Friday the Blues dropped

though Milledgeville collected i
safeties, they could make tl
count for only two runs. Doss,
lumbus pitcher, was stingy in
pinches and the big guns of

were best for Milledgeville.

Milledgeville broke a two game
losing streak by defeating the league
leading Barnesville Smithies Satur
day 6-6. Cy. Grant, Treadaway, and
Epps did the hitting for the Blues.
IWagnon, and Craven were the
Barnesville sluggem Batteries: Mil

Barnesville, Mitchell, Dixon
Craven.
Opening a two game series with
Amcricus here Tuesday, the Blues
went into their half of the nineth
inning two runs behind, but singels by
Epps and Ennis, a double by Charlie
Treadaway, and then a long home
run over the right field fence by
Benny Rothstein, his third of the
game, gave the home club the vic
tory, 11-9. The game was a heme-
run orgy from start to finish, eight
homers being hit during the game.
Mascn, Cardinal first sackcr, led the
visitors attack with three circuit
smashes, two coming with two men
aboard. For Milledgeville, Rothstein,
Epps and Treadaway all hit for the
circuit. Rothstein was the star of
the game, getting three home-runs
out of five trips to the plate and
driving in six runs. The victory ww
“Lefty Epps” fourth owiflecutive
win. Batteries: Awericus, Harden
and McKinney; Milledgeville, Epps
and Morehead.

BASEBALL REVIEW
The Milledgeville Bites continued
to hit the ball hard last week and
won three out of five games play
ed. The acquisition of three new
players greatly enhanced their bat
ting punch and tightened up a here
tofore loose infield.
Thursday, June 8th, the Blues en
gaged the Macon Peaches in a double
header in Macon, taking the first
game 8-1 and dropping the nightcap
9-4. In the first game, Lem Clark,
Milledgeville pitcher, was master of
the situation throughout, hold
ing the Peaches scoreless until
the last inning. Charlie Treadaway
was the star of this game, getting
two singles and a home-run out of
five trys. Hunter, Blalock and Bae-
aor were the hitters for Macon. Bat
teries: Milledgeville, Clark and More
head; Mncon, Gilespie and Hyatt.
The Peaches captured the second
game 9-4. Moron hod two big innings,
the second and sixth, scoring three
runs in the former and four in the
MERIWETHER DEFEATS DR.
ALLEN’S
Meriwether defeated Dr. Allens in
return game Saturday, nineteen to
six. Although Dr. Allen’s team uned
four pitchers they couldn’t rtop the
batting attack * the Meriwetfcer
Aggies. Batteries for Meriwether
were: Copclrnd and Martin and for
Allen’s were: Willingham, McDuf
fie, Worsham. Bazonas and Rober
son.
The two teams expect to meet
again Saturday week if the weather
oermits. McDuffie for Dr- Allen, and
Stephens for Meriwether did t»-
best slugging for the two teams.
