The Evergreen Greenies edged
the Baker, Fla. nine by a 7 to 6 score here Sunday afternoon. Edsel Johnson
slapped a clean line single to left field in the bottom of the tenth inning to
chase home J.W. Windham with the winning run.
Windham started on the mound
for the Greenies but gave way to third baseman Johnson in the seventh inning.
Johnson got credit for the win. Windham gave up four hits and as many runs
while Johnson was touched for three hits and two runs during his stint on the
mound.
Gillis Jones with four hits, two singles and two doubles, led the Greenie batters. Windham got three hits in five trips, including a triple. Sam Brown had three in six trips, including a double, and Johnson had two for three, one a triple.

Greenies 5, Pelicans 1:
Tuesday afternoon Lee Anthony returned to the mound after a no hit game last
Friday to hold the Panama City Pels to one run and three hits. The tall Kansan
started off shaky in the first inning but settled down to shut the Pels out the
rest of the way.
Besides pitching a three-hit
game Anthony batted in three of the five runs with a slashing double to left
center with the bases clogged. Anthony whiffed six would be Pelican batsmen.
Joe Cudillo paced Greenie hitters with two safe knocks. Fred Dickey received
the slants of Anthony to register his second low hit game of the week.

Club officials let it be known that Charlie Richards, Greenie hurler and coach

pilot. Richards will act as temporary manager.
