AMERICUS A
WINNER IN
FIRST GAME
DEFEATED OPELIKA 7 TO 5
MuCkalGCs Landed First Of
ThrGe-Game Series

In the first game played away from
the home diamond this season the To-
cal baseball club downed Opelika yes
terday afternoon by the score of Z to
5. The game was very good one
for this early in the season and was
witnessed by large crowd of Opelika
fans.
Manager Weber worked out Pruett,
the nifty southpaw twirler, in the boy,
with Boone behind the bat. Pruett
made an excellent showing in the game
as did Boone, who did the receiving.
This is a battery that should prove
valuable to the locals when the seasol !
opens. The entire local team played
consistent game, showing that the
players are rounding into shape and
acquiring team work.
No scores were made by either side
until the third inning, when Americas
made three and Opelika one. The To-
Gals were fond of trios, and they
scored three runs again in the fifth.
In the seventh Opelika came back
strong with a total of four tallies, but
the locals piled up one more, giving
them safe margin, which they held
to the close of the game, as neither
side scored again.
The two teams play again this af-
ternoon and tomorrow afternoon. Man
ager Weber will have an opportunity
of working out two other pitchers, for
which purpose he carried surplus
number along. The score by innings
was as follows;
Americus ...........O0 .O03 03O 1901
Opelika ...............00l 900 4O0-5

DR.. Friedman examined today the
cases at Bellevue that remained from
