“Greenies Edge Florala Here
Sunday 8 To 7: Manager Zell Murphy’s Evergreen Greenies bunched their hits
effectively to win a slugging match from Florala here Sunday afternoon in
Brooks Stadium. The Greenies constructed an eight to two lead then fought off a
strong Florala rally in the eighth inning to win, eight to seven.
J.W. Windham started on the
mound for Evergreen and received credit for the win. Edsel Johnson relieved
with none out in the eighth and pitched the final two frames. Windham struck
out nine batters and Johnson struck out three, retiring the side on strikes
after the bases were loaded.
John Greel Ralls’ booming bat
paced the Greenies to the win. Ralls opened the second inning with a homer and
homered in the fifth with two men on. He had a perfect evening at the plate
with three hits in as many trips and knocked in four Greenie runs. No other
Greenie hitter got more than one safety.
Florala outhit the locals 12
to nine, but didn’t use their hits as well. Ward with three hits in five
attempts including a triple led the hitters. McNeal and Cummings both had two
hits. Bartlow was the losing pitcher. He gave up nine hits and struck out eight
Greenie batters.
The Greenies do not have a
game scheduled for this Sunday Manager Murphy states.

Paul Kardow Takes Over Local
Baseball Team: Officials of the local baseball club announced Wednesday morning
that a deal had been closed whereby the franchise of the team had been taken
over by Paul Kardow, former pitcher with the Cleveland Indians but lately with
the Montgomery Bombers. The deal was made effective from Aug. 1, and Mr. Kardow
took active charge of the club Wednesday. While no announcement was forthcoming
from him, it is presumed that he will manage the club and take turns on the
mound as well.
Under terms of the agreement
the team is to complete this year’s schedule under the name of Evergreen
Greenies. Mr. Kardow has not made any announcement as to his plans for next
year. Local fans are very anxious for the club to be kept here and will no
doubt endeavor to interest Mr. Kardow in keeping the team in Evergreen next
season.
The Greenies proved their
fighting spirit on their home lot Monday afternoon by taking the Dothan Browns
in tow by the score of seven to six.
