CHICKS AT LAST WIN.

The Chicks uncorked big surprise
out at Russwood Friday, when they de-
feated the Nashville Volunteers by the
score of 5 to a.. 1t marked the first
win out of the last ten starts the
Chicks had been able to compile
The stands were as bare as Theda
Bara in .sSaloma." but those few who
yentured out were repaid with good
ball game.
Jack Wolfe, Chick newcomer, turned
in his first win since becoming a
Tribesman, when he held the Vols to
a single tally, which came in the last
chapter after he had kept the Capital
City outfit eating out of his paw all
afternoon, Opposing Wolfe was Bill
Statham, Roy Ellam's pitching ace, but
Bill could not hold the desperate Tribe
in check, for they had lost nine straight
games and were determined TO win one
more game before the season ended.
The Chicks scored the first run of
the game in the second inning, when
Statham passed McLarry, who was
hunted to second by Bob Dowie. Blades
shot a single to cePter and the Chick k
into a double play, grounding to Sta
than, who tossed to ELAN, getting
Blades, and Ellam's peg to first nall
ing Colly.
The Chicks got two more in the sew
enth, when they won the game. Nc
Larry shot a drive past first and
Dowie again showed Mack along via the
sacrifice route. Blades hoisted to New
ell, but Harry Colenberger came along
with three-ply wallop to the left
field dump that scored McLarry. Wolfe
then dropped Texas Lacquer back of
first that brought Colly over. Frierson
lofted to Newell for the last out.
In the eighth the Chicks added two
more to their roll. With one gone, High
singled through the box and Carroll fol-
lowed with a double to center, which
brought High over the pan. Carroll
headed for third in an attempt to steal,
and Morrow's, peg went through
Schmidt, with Dixie coming all the
way in. McLarry lined buckshot into
Schmidt's paws for the last out.
