The Montgomery advertiser., 1903-05-06

It was bit of hard luck to Sis Hopkins. the Montgomery pitcher, that he did not shut out the Nashville Fish ermen yesterday. but he teat them easily by the one-sided score of and ?.
 Hopkins pitched a remarkable game his control being marvellous While he only struck out two men. never during the entire nine innings did he gave base on balls. He shot them over the plate with the regularity of a piece of highly tempered mechanism.
 The first four innings had twelve men up and not one of them reached first base. Hopkins's support was good. the only errors being made by Molesworth. Bailey pitched a game that would have won nine out of ten. giving only one base on balls, but his support was not the best in the world
