Macon Victor Over Shuqualak In
Opening Game

On yesterday Macon defeated Shu-
qualak in the opening game of the
season the score being 8 to 8. The
Macon boys showed better form as
a whole on account Of having had
much more practice than their op-
ponents.
Thirston pitched a good game for
ShuQualak with the execution of two
innings when he was Rounded hard
by the Macon bays. Ellis Hunter wa
the individual star for Macon. ac-
cepting several hard chances in the
field without an error, and making
three of Macon's runs. With three
men on bases he thrilled the specta-
tors with a three base hit over center
fielder's head. Pete Hill and Ellis
Cockrell both pitched good ball for
Macon.
Macon will play Shuqualak a re-
turn game in Macon one day next
week, and will play A. & NJ. College
at Macon Friday of this week.
While most of Macon's men are
young, the prospects for a fairly good
ball team composed entirely of home
boys are good. With the support
of the fans the boys will do their best
and no n can expect more.
