CHAMPS WIN SERIES IN
GAMES WITH MACON
Won Third Game After a
Hard Fight
Wilson Did Splendid
Work, Giving Up
Only One Hit

The Macon visitors lost their OWL
game to the Champs yesterday in the
tenth inning in what is conceded tc
have been one of the prettiest, if not
the very prettiest contest of the sea
son.
The Champs did themselves proud
and were in the game every minute
with the exception of the eighth in
ming, and even then they rallied with
no more serious results than a man
to third.
Up to the beginning of the seventh in
ming not a single visitor had reached
first sack At this time Wilson got
a hot one on the fingers and allowed
the first man to take first on a free
pass.
1t was a false alarm, however, for
he was retired trying to purloin sec
ond sack. In the next the boys were
little wild and before the third man
had been retired four men had felt
the bags, making five thus fortunate
Wilson was all to the mustard in
this game, striking out seventeen
men in the ten innings, allowing one
base on bad ones, and but one safety
was secured from his delivery.
With Tommy" doing the receiving
and Peddy on short, not a single base
was stolen.
Ellison for the visitors was unfor-
tunate in being outshone by a bright
er star. Twelve men famed the air
in vain effort to connect with his
angles, one man drew free pass
and four lined out safe ones.
His jumps, Maynard, was in control
of the game all the while and gave
universal satisfaction to players and
fans alike.
Following is the complete box score
and summary:
