CLARK DROVE IN TWO RUNS
WINNING YESTERDAY'S GAME
With Berger and Shaw on Base “Danny” Hit the Sphere for
a Three Bagger. The Longest Drive Yet on the Homo
Diamond. Winchell Pitched Beautiful Game% and Was
Backed Up Nicely by His Team Matos.
In a beautiful contest yesterday af
ternoon the Combacks copped the
final game of the series from the
Charleston Sea Gulls by the score of
2 to 1, forging ahead of the Savannah
"first-half" champions, back into the
first division. When the words "beau
tiful contest,” used above to describe
the game, were typed on this page
they were not put there Just because
"we" won. No; not in the least, for
the game was a most magnificent con
test from the beginning until the end
—quite sensational at the winding up.
Winchell sawing out the whole side,
Eldredge, Eberts and Manager Jim
mie Hamilton himself. Ho there you
are; that'B Just the article of ball that
was put up yesterday and, incidental
ly, In the games before, but somehow
the locals were unable to score the
winning run in the previous games.
Fickle Fans.
There’s many a fickle fan in this
old town that will start to "crowing”
about the manner In which the locals
played in this game, who have been
slinging the hammer all the time thm
Manager “Babe” Brouthers’ set was
defeated. Just think, if this game
had been dropped, the noise that the
hammer would be making. However,
this particular game was registered
In the win column of the Combacks.
so there you are; no use thinking of
what would have been.
There’s no use talking, every man
In Brouthers’ outfit was there and
there with the goods at that. When
little Danny Clark threw the pill wild
a few days ago, letting one* of the
enemy score, it was foretold by Tho
Herald that he would redeem him
self for this unusual occurrence end
the result was that he did. The vis
itors had gained a lead of one run
In the sixth Inning (up until this In
ning it looked like one of those score
less games), HhavF and Berger were
anchored on first and second respec
tively. Clark stepped up to the plate
and slammed out the longest and
hardest hit ball that has never seen a
precedent on this diamond before,
scoring both runners and allowing
himself to land safely on the third
sack.
Ebsrts* Fielding.
If it hadn't been for the swiftness
of Eberts It would have been a homer
Winchell pitched one of those winning
games of his and with the all-around
hacking up of his team-mates. Kelly
and Marker setting up as atari and
WHADDAYAMEAN “HEAVY FIRING”
the rest of his mates playing A< No. l
ball, the net result was that but three
of the visitors managed to get past
the first station and but one of these
as far as third, the last mentioned be
ing Eberts, who scored.
By capturing yesterday’s game It
still goes to show that that set rs
youngsters composing the local outfit
can still put up a good argument.

THE AUGUSTA HERALD, AUGUSTA. GA.
(By J. H. 8.)
Savannah was considerate enough
to lose yesterday; the Combacks won,
therefore Jumping back Into that first
division. Brouthers evidently knows
Ills business, making this team a first
divisloner the first year out—The Co
lumbia fans probably thought by fir
ing the "Boy Manager" that the
Comers would soar, well t hey did
manage to crawl out of tho cellar,
however, they managed to get no fur
ther than sixth place—There's an ex
ample; both these clubs started on Ihe
same basis, yet “Babe" keeps his in
the first division. Can you figure it
out?
There's fifteen more gajnes to be
played, now with the majority of these
registered in the win column, that Is,
providing the Albany Babies hit the
shoot, the local *:rew still have a
chance to contest for that bunting—
The Gulls and Foxes are not worry
ing the Combacks Just at the present
time. Don't give up hope, as yet, for
that “bunting" one can never tell in
baseball.
Maybe Clark wasn't here yesterday
with the hickory driving In the runs
that tied up the score and defeated
the Gulls at the same time. Clark’s
a mighty good worker and it's not an
unusual sight to see him pull this
kind of a stunt —Remember, when the
lad made a homer.
—SL—
“Iron Man" Winchell pitched the
game of his life In this game, topping
the occasion by sawing out the entire
side of visitors In the last go-round.
Hurrah for "Wnch.”
Barker is still holding down fliat
first station like a veteran and the
fans are veil satisfied with the man
ner in which he Is holding said posi
tion. Johnnie Is also well pleased
with this station and Intimates that
he’s going In for first-baseman In the
future "It'a more fun than twirling
the pill."
All the fellows on the |eam are now
working like clockwork. That re
minds one of the Clock that Smith
won tho other day; a two-footer with
a Venus model stationed on It, In fact,
a beautiful piece of work. Smith Bays
that he's going to give one of his
many friends a chance to capture this
masterpiece.
