WASHINGTON TEAM
COUNTY CHAMPIONS
TWO GAMES WON THIS
WEEK
FULTON FAILS TO SCORE
In One Sided Game Played
Tuesday-Co1urnbus De-
feated Wednesday
FULTON FAILS TO SCORE

The Washington ball team, al
though only recently organized.
is now the recognized champion
baseball team of the county. Two
games we're easily won on the
local diamond this week, the first
being played with the Fulton team
and the last with Columbus.
In the first game played Tues
day between Washington and
Fulton the latter was presented
with clean shut-out, the score
standing II to 0 in favor of Wash
ington. johnson was in the box
for Washington, and the visitors
did not land on him except at rare
intervals, and when a hit was Sc
cured, the support given from
every quarter was so splendid
that it was impossible for the
visitors to secure the coveted run.
The heaviest scoring of the locals
occurred in the sixth, when Shep-
person, the first man up, landed
a two bagger, followed by sim
liar rap from J Trimble, advan-
cling Shepperson to third; Wilson
and Page secured safe hits, bring
ing in A scores in this inning.
Wednesdays game between
Washington and Columbus result
ed in a score of u to 2 in favor of
Washington. This game was al
most errorless. especially on the
Washington side, and the heavy
scoring of the locals was due to
their excellent batting and base
running, especially the latter.
Weber was in the box for Wash
ington and saved the day on more
than one occasion, winning the
admiration of his fellow players
and the fans" Practically all
the features of the game were
crowded into the seventh, when
( the score stood 2 to in favor of
the Locals: j Trimble hit for
three bagger, bringing in two
runs; Tom Hill, playing short fol
Columbus, made a sensational
catch in this inning when he took
in a red hot liner from the bat of
Weber.
Manager H. r. Wilson of the
Washington team has arranged
for a game with Fulton to be
played at Fulton today; also a
game with Columbus to be played
at Columbus Tuesday of next
week.
A telephone message W2s re-
eeived from the manager OF the.
Fulton team yesterday calling the
game scheduled for today off, as
he could not get his players to-
gether. 1t will be arranged for
Il later date,
Late yesterday afternoon ar
rangements were made to play
Nashville at Washington today, so
this game will be played instead
of a game with Fulton as was at
first expected.
