GREENSBORO HI LOSES
CHAMPIONSHIP HOPES
Leaksville Defeats Greensboro by a
Score of 9-7 in Champion
ship Series
TWO HOME RUNS FOR LEAKSVILLE
Greensboro plashed two championship
games recently, the first one being with
Reidsville on April 30, and the second
with Leaksville on May 5. The lat
ter eliminated Greensboro from the
state championship race by the score
of 9-7.
In the Reidsville game, Greensboro
had little difficulty in eliminating them
from the race. The team was at it§
best form of the season. Wyatt Tay
lor had the home club at his mercy and
pitched a no-hit, no-run game until
the eighth inning.
In the Leaksville game, both teams
displayed good work, and Wyatt Tay
lor, Greensboro pitcher, allowed the
Leaksville boys only eight hits. The
victory, however, was caused by the
many errors of the Purple and Gold
team.
There were two home runs in the
game. Carter and Neal, of Leaksville,
each hitting for a circuit of the dia
mond.
Although this was the last of the
championship series for Greensboro,
several after-season games have been
arranged with High Point, Winston-
Salem, and other neighboring towns.
