The Montgomery advertiser., 1903-05-16

Louis Polchow won his game against Atlanta yesterday. but clean. sharp and at times phenomenal fielding and fierce hitting materially aided him, his control not being the best in the world. He gave eight bases on balls and some of them swelled the run column of the Crackers. position won him lots of friends among the fans, he having no less than eight assists in the game.
 The heroe batting of the Black sox is shown by the fact that five of their six runs were earned, Kanzlier getting three hits. a couple of two-baggers being among them, Whistler a home run a two-bagger and q long single and Clark two hits.
 The victory over Alb Powelrs Atlantians puts Montgomery in the lead in the pen- nant race. but the enjoyment of the game was marred by the cursing of Umpire Mace by members of the Atlanta team.
 Lauzon was put out of the game and fined 5. The swearing was audible to ladies in the grandstand.
 Kanzlier introduced himself to Colonel Weyhing as the first man up by gently lifting the brand new, glossy ball for a good clean hit, advancing on a neat sac- worth's long fly and then a ball struck the end of Lew Whistler's bat and grace fully scared away over deep left field fence, Kanzlier and Whistler making the circuit of the bases.
 In the last half the hard-hitting Win ters returned Kanzlier's compliment with interest, lining out a clean two-bagger Bennett walked and Lauzon hit to Kid Busch who started the fast double with Kanzlier and Whistler retiring Bennett and Lauzon. Stafford lined one out to left and Winters trotted home with an earned run.
 Clark got a hit in the second. advanced on Busch's sacrifice and came home with another earned run on Kanzlier's two- bagger,
 In the last half Matthews walked and went down to second on Peas sacrifice. Gruebner viciously swiped at the ball which scared into Link Stickney's waiting hands. Matthews thought it good hit and tore along towards third base when Link fielded the ball to Kanzlier and there was another neat double.
 Molesworth hit for only one bag in the third and scored another earned run on Whistler's two-bagger.
 The Crackers were disposed of in one two. three order in the last half, the fea- ture being sensational stop by Kid Busch of Winters hot hit. Kanzlier uncorked another of his patent tWo-baggers in the fourth and scored on | one of Weyhing's patent wild pitches. It was one, two. three with the Crackers again in the last half but in the first of the fifth Whistler lined out beauty, was advanced by FlanaRans sacrifice and scored another earned run on Stickney's g clean single.
 With one down in the last half Peas walked, Gruebner was out on a fly to Kanzlier, Gloomy Gus" walked Winters got life on tumble and the bags were full of Crackers longing for the sight of the plate. Their lOngings were gratified for Bennett met one, there was a two bagger with Peas and Weyhing, the two bases on balls, scoring. Then Lauzon drew a present and the bags were full again with Stafford up. It looked foggy up the creek for Polchow then but he brought the bleachers to their feet by striking Stafford out.
 It was one, two. three with both teams in the sixth and seventh though the Crackers quit playing baseball and began playing frog in the middle with Harry Mace as the frog. With two down Win ters walked and Bennett hit safe, Lauzon got life on a tumble and the bases were again full. Winters started in from third
