Chatham of Winston
Wins Over B. & W.
Chatham crushed Brown and
Williamson in a City League con
test at North Junior school
Thursday evening, July 12th, by
a score of 14 to 2. The Chatham
team ran up a 6-to-O lead in the
third inning and it began to ap
pear that rain would cheat them
of victory in their fight against
the first half champions.
Brown and Williamson tried to
help the rain along a bit and
seven runs crossed the plate in
the fourth inning before Chat
ham took it upon themselves to
retire their own side and save the
game.
Steelman held Brown and Wil
liamson to seven hits while his
mates raked Phillips and Thomp
son for fifteen hits.
