Winston Won in the Ninth.

Winston Won in the Ninth.
The Twins began their delayed
spring drive at Prince Albert park yes
terday afternoon by putting the roll
ers under the champion Asheville
Tourists in the latter's opening game
of the year in Winston-Salem by a
score of to Z. IL required exactly
two hours and thirty minutes for the
colony Of Twins to shove across the
winning tally, this being accomplished !
in the ninth canto with two men out. |
Two men were on bases and the score |
stood seven to five with our ''fellers'
holding onto the little end with a tight
grasp, when Frank Nesser, who has
the distinction of being a Glass c man,
showed to the large crowd of bowling
fans just why it is that the other
clubs are so anxious to get rid of him,
by mailing one of Olin Permits fast
ones ON the nose and sending it over
the fence in far right field for cir
cult smash. The hit was without
doubt the longest that has been made
at the local battle ground this season.
After the game, a cOlOred fan, who
was standing in the street behind the
right field fence, said the ball fell on
the far side of the street.
1t was a game that abounded in
thrills, even tho it was one Of the
most ragged that has been played here
in some time. The Twins displayed
no teamwork at all, and at times
looked like sand-lotters in the field.
| On one occasion "Red" Stewart and
Heck let a fly ball drop between them
! that should easily have been caught.
while at another time, Bud Frye and
| AL Bumb became too anxious to show
I up their former mates and collided af
ter running after a foul fly. This did
no damage, however, as Frye held the
| ball.
Playing second fiddle to Nesser's
home run was a daring steal home by
Harvey Hitler in the sixth inning. Ell
lison, the Asheville catcher didn't
know that Harvey was foot away
from third base until the diminutive
infielder slid into him. Mr.. Miller,
who Umpired, seemingly hated to cali
Harvey safe, but nevertheless, he had
to do it.
Herman Schwartz and Olin Perritt
were sent to the trenches by the OPP
posing managers. Both pitched good
ball. Schwartz experienced two bad
i innings-the second and the third, dur
ing which he allowed five hits, which,
coupled with errors by Honig and Frye,
a wild pitch and sacrifice fly, Melted
/ the Tourists five of their eight runs.
After the third, Herman settled
lidown and worked nicely for the rest
q of the battle. Perritt, the 1.-THE util
Iity man of the visitors, pitched winning
i ball. He allowed three less l1its than
+ did his giant opp5nent and kept them
well scattered, AS rule, until the Ia
t5al ninth how into view. \
