GIRLS LOSE TO
WINSTON-SALEM
W inston-Salem high school defeat
ed High Point girls 41-23 in a base
ball game Tuesday afternoon, on
Reynold’s field, Winston-Salem. The
local girls started the game with
plenty of pep, with Hutchinson
Pitching and Farlow catching. They
hcJ.d hig;Ji score for the first three
innings, until Winston staged a rally
and made about eight or ten runs in
the fourth inning. The locals played
a good game all through, but Win
ston out-witted them and it .was so
cold that the girls stood out on the
field with their hands in their pockets
shivering. They are to have Winston
visit here before long and the High
Point fans are to^ have a real thrill
in baseball.
