and defeated the Greyhound
Travelers, 4 to 2, in a Tuesday
Northwest League game at Hanes
Park yesterday afternoon.
After the first inning, Swaim
hooked up with Mcllwee, Chat
ham hurler, in a hard pitchers’
duel, with the Greyhound pitcher
having an edge in the battle. Mc
llwee was in hot water several
times, but sensational support
from his mates pulled him
through except in the fifth in
ning when the Travelers made
both their scores. An error paved
the way for these runs.
Chatham made their runs in
the first inning on walks to Long
and Morris, a sacrifice by Plaster,
singles by H. Badgett and P.
Badgett and a double by Petree.
All three hits and the runs were
made after two were out.

and an error count for their runs
