with Jack Keenan, handing out the dose
from his own slagpile yesterday Abe
Powell and his blue cod cluster of col
onels again groveled In the dust before
1900 of the happiest fans that ever breth-
ed the smoke and dust from Blrming-
ham furnace.
Towards the middle of the game Bennett
doomed up with lonesome gaunt look
ing home run and but for that not grab
bier of the goober would have passed the
second station. At the time the ball was
smashing the ozone around the top OF
the right field fence neither side had pass
ed the goose egg stage and the Jim
Dumps attitude was assumed by the
grand stand. As the little third base
man, affectionately known as Pug, tame
trotting In home not a sound marred the
death like stiffness and the frogs could be
heard croaking In the valley beneath
Mount Stag. 1t was an unfortunate crack
at a critical time and the rising hairs
pushed the hat from the top of the head
of Thomas OBrien.
Vaughan and Mlllerlck Slusoaed.
The gloom was soon punctured by
pair of timely smashes administered by
Father Vaughan and the Hon. Patrick
Millerlck, and Pitcher Kilen was rapidly
driven to the tall grass and the game
snatched from Georgia In the stretch.
Jack Keenan, pitched the greatest game
OF his life and the Colonels were at his
mercy at all stages. With the exception
of BENEFITS home run not a cracker
reached second base.
To make matters strong Duffy and
Brown put on a few extra attractions in
the garden where the primroses grow and
painted their names on the walls of the
Hall of Fame. Brown pulled down an
awful drive from the bat of Captain STAFF
ford which bore three-base label and
saved his cohorts from the ignominy of
score. 1t was a beautiful piece of work
and Sammy well earned the applause
which came from all parts Of the ground.
Duffy saved his performance for the last.
and with two out In the last half of the
ninth he speared a fierce drive laced out
by Winters. the star of the Georgia will
low wieders. He captured the ball in the
neighborhood Of the score board, and the
fire was out.
Iron Men Take a Brace.
Killen also pitched nice ball, but the
Iron Men took a brace In the seventh
and eighth innings and fell on him like
a ton of brick. Vaughan opened 1t up
with a single to left and Millerick drove
him home on a rap to right field, which
got past Winters and netted the catcher
just three bags. Vaughan In the meantime
came home with the tying run.
In the eighth inning the affair was
definitely concluded, and as 1t happened
the Colonies might as we'll have packed
their bats and beat a retreat downward.
After Keenan, had been disposed of on a
slow grounder Duffy hit hot one which
Bennett fumbled. and the little fielder was
safe. OBrien started out to bunt, but
Duffy got a good start, and Jimmy
dropped safe one into right meadow,
Duffy going to third Jimmy promptly pill
fered second, and it was up TO Father
Vaughan. Killen handed the old man a
teaser just to his liking and he cracked 1t
over short for a single, sending both men
home and cinching the game. MillericlS
followed with another safe drive and
Vaughan got to second. Lawler and Mil
lar failed to deliver and the big boys ex-
pired on the circuit.
In conclusion it might be we'll to add
that Millerick and Vaughan showed a
startling familiarity with the bat
throughout the game and each of them
cut out three clean ones out of four
times up. To their hitting belongs the
credit OF the game
The official score:
