“Evergreen Wins Two Games From Niceville by John Law Robinson: Evergreen handed Niceville two defeats last week to make its record 11 wins and one loss. The scores were 7 to 2 and 9 to 1.
“In the first inning, the Greenies jumped on Bridges, Niceville pitcher, for six hits and five runs. But here the Greenies were stopped. They were held to six hits and two runs for the remaining eight innings. Hart held the visitors to 10 hits and two runs.
“Page led the locals at bat in this game with three hits. Johnson, Barfield and Hart had two hits each.
“In the second game, the locals played the best brand of ball that they have displayed this season. Clowers, opening pitcher for Niceville, held the locals in check for three innings before White started a rally. Bridges relieved him and checked the Greenies attack at this point. Windham started for Evergreen and was relieved by Hart in the sixth frame.
“Johnson led the locals in hitting with a double and two singles. Bolton, second baseman, and White, catcher, looked good defensively for Evegreen.”

“Locals Win Game From Garland Thurs.: The local baseball team continued its winning streak last Thursday by defeating Garland in a fast game by the close score of 4 to 3. Despite the rain the attendance was good.
“The next encounter on the local diamond will be Thurs., June 25, when Evergreen will meet Castleberry. The players and manager will greatly appreciate a good attendance of the baseball fans of town. No subscriptions have been taken to finance the expenses of the team, thus it is dependent upon the gate receipts to defray these expenses. Those who have seen both Evergreen and Castleberry in action predict that this game will be another fast one.
“On Thurs., July 2, Evergreen will again meet Garland on the local diamond. Come out to the games and give your support to the team.”
