The Covington club opened five
day series with Brownsville on Mon
day, playing in Brownsville on Mon
day and Tuesday, and then coming to
Covington for three games. The game
in Brownsville on Monday was slow
and undressing, and Covington won
by a score of 1919. Tuesdays game
was another slaughter. Over two
hours were required to complete the
nine innings, and Covington won by
a score Of 21-11.
Wednesdays game in Covington
was an entirely different class of
baseball. This was due to large
extent to the fact that Covington has
one Of the best ball parks in West
Tennessee, and it is a general fact
that good grounds are productive of
good games. At any rate, Wednes-
days game was one of the best that
we have had this year. It was.
strictly speaking, a pitchers battle,
each pitcher allowing only four hits.
Covington was lucky in punching
theirs however, and succeeded in put
ting across the only two runs made
in the game, in the seventh inning
Hovey doubled to center, and Hen
dirk, next up, hit through the pitch
err, and was safe when 0dum FUN
bled. Maxwell singled to center,
scoring Hovey, Hendrix taking third
Smith hit to third, and when LYLE
threw to first to catch Smith, Hen
dirk scored.
Kirby Smith is catching this week,
and is doing excellent work. Jacobs
will return Monday for the rest Of
the season..
Lawhorn, the new third baseman.
is a fast little infielder and good
hitter.
