81 A YEAR,
MADISON SCORED
But Tallahassee HAD TO be Satisfied
Win Nine Goose EgRs In
Succession.

What proved to be one the bsse
games of baseball seen in FloridR
this season was that played ON the
Tallahassee diamond last Thursday
afternoon between the teams OF Mad
ison and that city. 1t was a pitchers
battle from beginning to end and the
result was to the credit Of Cooke p
the star twirler for Madison.
Because of rain game was not call
cd until Eve o'clock but the playing
was 90 fast and furious that the full
nine innings we're played before dark
ness settled down.
All the scoring was done in the
FIRST inning Hinely bit short and
was thrown out at tirst. Mcclellan
bit safe to first, stole second and was
advanced TO third by Markbam's
short hit, the latter being thrown
out at first. Cooke bit short to
third, Mcclellan started home and
the third baseman throwing wild to
catcher Mcclellan scored on error.
That ended the scoring business right
there. In all the game Tallahassee
succeeded in getting one man as far
as third base but that was as close as.
they could get 10 home plate. The
full nine innings we're played and the
score stood at the finish Madison | a.,
Tallahassee 0. Neither pitcher al
lowed a base on balls, though one OF
Tallahassee's players got TO first ON
being hit. Wilson for Tallahassee
struck out ~ while Cooke famed II.
Madison got four hits of Wilson but
Tallahassee only got two meaSly hits
Off Cooke. The game was splend-
id one but was Witnessed by very
few people. Evidently Tallahassee
ans are not as enthusiastic baseball
fans as the people Of the average
community.

Formed Copartnership.

On Tuesday Of this week Co.'s. c,
j. Hardee and Randall II. Rowe
formed a copartnership for the prac-
tice of law under the firm name OF
Hardee & Rowe. The Offices of the
new firm will be up stairs in the
Smith building, the same place where
Col. Hardee has bad his offices for
some time past.
The association Of these two gen.
tlemen makes a very strong firm.
Col. Hardee has f)r several years
ranked as one of the leading mem
bers of this bar while Mr.. Rowe,
though young in practice--having
been admitted only last winter-has
given evidence Of having those quail.
ties of mind only possessed by natu-
raj and thorough lawyers. That the
new firm will be successful in a large
degree goes without the saying, and
no one wishes for them a greater
measure OF successful and lucrative
practice than the New Enterprise.
