Description
“4th of July was a big day at the ball park.
About 1,500 persons witnessed the triple header on Tuesday.
Latson, right fielder for the Roosters, made a beautiful shoestring catch in Tuesday’s game and doubled Howell of the Eurekas at first.
The Adelphia club has started down the line. It was the Home Boys that gave them the downward push and the Piney Wood kept them going in the Wednesday’s game.
Tinsley of the Piney Wood starred in center field on Wednesday. His long running catch was one of the best of the season.
“Hoggy” Monroe knocked a triple before 1,500 people Tuesday which turned the trick for the Home Boys.
The teams all put up good playing in the big triple header game.
The fellow that schemed the triple header did a good piece of thinking. It helped the teams financially and put them in better running order.
If the Adelphias lose to the Roosters Wednesday the Piney Wood will go in first place.
Croker received his release from the Home Boys. It was given on request of the players.
Giddens, the new first sacker of the Home Boys, played his position in the fine style on Tuesday.
The Eureka’s new pitcher showed up well before Tuesday’s big crowd and won his game.
The Adelphias dropped 191 points by losing Tuesday and Wednesday.
“Monk” Roberts of the Savannah Home Boys, is credited with being the best short-stop in the league. He made a sensational stop on Tuesday.
Capt. Simms of the Urban League rightly carries the name “Spitfire”. He is a crack-a-jack piece of fire any way you take him and always fights hard and fast to pull his boys on top."
