That tells the story of yesterday’s
game.
And a rattling good game it was, too.
The Muckalees played jam-up ball all
the way, and with Blansit pitching like
a big leaguer, staged the prettiest
game that has ever been offered Amer

A safe blow over third base deliv

had singled, Powers sacriced. Guess
pushed the red-head to third with an

game, and put the second of the series
on ice for the locals.
Yesterday's game was as pretty as
the game the day before was rotten.
The Muckalees looked like Class AA
material and were in there battling all
the way. Blansit and McFarlan both

THE AMERICUS DAILY TIMES-RECORDER
pitched ball good enough to win in
any old league. The Chattanooga boy,
working for Americus, held Brunswick
to three hits, and backed by almost
perfect fielding, was able to care for
every situation. McFarlan held Amer
icus to five hits and struck out eight
men.
Two fast double plays, engineered by
the Muckalees, helped blank Bruns
wick. Powers to Guess and Hodge to
Guess were the route they took. Mc-
Farlan and Reily also pulled a double
at a critical stage of the game.
Every man on both club starred. The
game was a pretty contest all the way
and the handful of fans that were
there enjoyed it for nine full innngs
Such a game as was played yesterday
would be hard lo duplicate even in the
big show.
After today’s game the Muckalees
take a ;ump to Waycross for three
games there with the Moguls. Dozier
or Vaiden will open there against Ham
Reynolds and his wiregrass farmers.

Yesterday manager Wagnon changed
his lineup a bit and the way the boys
played was good to behold. As thev
lineup now the Muckalees look like
pennant winners. With one more
pitcher that can be relied on manage"
Wag will bear watching.
o i o
Americus fans must realize that it’s
up to them to patronize the ball club
of they want to see baseball here in
Americus. Yesterdays game was worth
anybodies old half dollar, but exactly
124 faithful fans were on hand,
o i o
Manager Wagnon was out of the
game yesterday with a bad ankle The
old boy is a valuable player and will
be back in the game just as soon as
possible.

Texas, will work today. The big fel
low was loaned to Americus by Macon.
The Macon News has the foiowing to
say abort him. “This lad Dickerson

leaguer has a wicked fast one and a
v: fdni>'day. may u:-,
