“Check” Ellis To Play With
Brewton Millers: Chester “Check” Ellis Jr. was to begin working out with the
Brewton Millers of the Alabama State League tonight and expects to sign with
the Class D club in a few days. “Check,” a 22-year-old right-handed pitcher,
talked with Miller manager Norman Veazy Monday and was told to report for
practice today.
“Check” has been attending
Troy State Teachers College, and for the past two months has pitched for
Colquitt in a very fast semi-pro loop in South Georgia. He was a star athlete
at Evergreen High School, where he received his diploma, and played with the
Evergreen Greenies last year after completing a hitch in the Navy.

Evergreen Bows Down To
Andalusia: Last Thursday, the Evergreen nine met the Andalusia Senators on the local
field and met with defeat by a score of 10 to 6. (Andalusia left fielder) Nelson
led in the defeat of Evergreen with a credit of four runs.
(Evergreen’s lineup in that
game included Kendall, second base; Hanna, center field; Melton, right field;
Steen, third base; Fergison, shortstop; Hansen, left field; English, catcher;
Jones, pitcher; and Barfield, first base.)
EVERGREEN LOSES SECOND GAME
TO ANDALUSIA SUNDAY: Evergreen’s nine motored over to Andalusia to get revenge
from the Andalusia Senators, but were again defeated by a score of 3 to 0.
(Evergreen pitcher) Hyde kept
the Senators guessing and with the support of the team, it was impossible for
Andalusia to advance the score.
A number of fans drove over and
witnessed the game.
It seems evident that
Andalusia fans back their team well and this is of great advantage to them. Let’s
fall in line from their example and help the locals along.
The present standing of the
teams in this league are in order, as follows, Florala holds the lead with
Greenville, Evergreen and Luverne for second place; Andalusia, fifth; and
Chapman at the bottom.
