The Event of the Week Was the Purcell
Collins Marriage.


Columbia. June 30.-(Speclal Core
spondence. 1.-The social side of life in CO.
lumbia was very much enlivened today
by the maria ge of Professor Collins or
Thomasville, Ala, to Miss Rubie purcell
of this place. Professor Collins has for
some years been president of the high
school at Thomasville and comes to Co.
lumbia in search of the object OF his de-
votion and of earthly happiness with
nothing but words of commentator
from those who know him well; and
though Columbia will deeply regret the
loss of one of her fairest daughters, her
loss will to some extent be compensated
for in the fact that she has gained a
worthy son.
Miss Purcell is the daughter of our es-
cell. and will greatly bless the life of the
man to whom she has given her hand,
her heart and her life.
The ceremony was performed by Rev.
Mr.. Belts of Thomasvlle in the Method
list church, which was filed to its utmost
capacity with friends of the bride. The
decorations which had been made by low
ing hands added greatly to the scene.
The attendants were Mr.. Mcleod of
Thomasville and Miss Willie Purcell, sis
ter of the bride. The ushers were Mr.
BOYD of Thomasville and Dr. c. L. G.
Atkison of Columbia.
After the ceremony the bridal party
were driven to the elegant home of the
brides father, where a very enjoyable
wedding breakfast was served, and at Q
D. m. the party left for the future home
of the bride and groom.

Figured Very Prominently in Yesterdays
Game-Gorton's Field Work Feature.
Keum Pitched in Great Form.
Result of Yesterdays Games.

Dumb playing on the part of some of
the Birmingham aggregation, Katz's
two errors and Kellum's puzzling deliv-
cry gave the first game of the Blrming-
Montgomery series to the visitors
by score of 10 to 2.
The game was lost in the first inning,
the visitors, after two men were out and
only one run scored, with two men on
bases scoring two runs on Kehoes fly
to left, which Katz allowed to become a
two-bagger, when he, it seemed to every
one, could have easily fielded 1t, Kehoe
coming in on Peoples hit. This one
play seemed to take all the starch out of
Mcdonald, especially when Katz allowed
Kellum to go to second In the following
inning by dropping a fly ball which fell
squarely into his init. The next man UP
was hit and walked to first. Four hits,
one of which was a two-bagger, and
successful sacrifice netting five more
runs.
Not until the seventh inning did the
locals ever get a glimpse of the first
base. Katz got a single and scored on
Ryan's two-bagger.
In the next inning Gorton got pres
ent, but was caught at second on Jones
folders choice. Jones advanced ON Nc
Donald's grounder and out at first, scor-
ing on Trainor's hit.
The visitors made their tenth run in
the fifth inning on Wileys hit, steal of
second and third and Mangan's sacrifice
to center.

Among the players of the Mobile team
are none more generally liked than Sec
ond Baseman Paynter. jolly and always
good natured he never takes exception
at anything said from the grand stand
or bleachers. The Times-Democrat
seems to be of the same opinion and de-
tends the plucky lad thus
IF there is one man on the Mobile
team whose work, it was thought was
appreciated by Mobile fans, that man is
Paynter, who covers second base for
Mobile, and who leads the second base
men now playing in the league as well
as the infielders; but there seems to be
a captious critic, who evidently wants
Mobile to have Bid McPhee or Pfeffer
Just at this stage of the game it Is
doubtful IL they could do any better
than Paynter. Listen to what Felix
has to say about the crack second base
man in the current issue of the Sport
ing News: In the meantime 1t might
be we'll to keep a lookout for a better
second baseman. Paynter seems to be
a conscientious player, but there is room
for lots of Improvement Paynter's
record in the home series, finished last
week, was: Total chances rs, accepted
"a errors 2. Base hits in eleven games

before he finds a better intielder than
Paynter."

Kellum was a puzzle to the locals. be-
sides having git-edge support. He had
the boys guessing from start to finish
and never got ratified, nor did he have
cause to.
Deadly used improper language to UNI
pire McFarlan in the second inning and
was put out of the game. McFarlan,
when German protested, remarked: II
have more trouble with your men than all
the others and am not going to put up
with It."
