Those leaders in the race for the
in-headed championship Of this ball
organization reached town with too
many hat-wheeled athletes with bum
Nicks and injured fms to create much
damage. yet they were provokingly per-
sistent in their efforts TO make Con
Welch feel he was not at home. We
beat EN-. though, 3 to 1.
The glad bursts of sunshine that oc-
casionally fitted across the field was
refreshing after the leaky weather
which prevailed in the last set. The
field was still soggy. but the Ply
mouthrock make up of the locals was
complete, from stockings to spurs, and
they found little difficulty in scratch
ing out three tallies
That gang in blue went to work on
the visitors like beef steak Founders
in a country hotel. The crack of
doom sounded in the first inning. In
this squirt, they fiattened Mr.. Rey-
nolds left tire with three singing
swats, two of which were for the
plural bag, and then they dared the
port filmed finger Heisman to come
on and get his. But the willy south
paw baked and Reynolds continued
Line drives ripped through Ihe in
field like eight inch shells now and
then carrying away a leg, or chopplng
away a bit of shinbone by way of a
souvenir. The contest closed with Mr.
Buessee. who pried open the second
stanza with a singing two-sacker,

Savannah Fans Happy.
This was the first game in which
we have had all of our strong ath-
letes together at once, and a majority
of the fans are enthusiastic over the
result. Late last night the following
bit of poetry was handed in. the au-
thor declining TO be interviewed or
have his name go down in posterity
as the perpetrator:
Tell me not IN nifty kidding.
Pathhnders are but an empty dream.
For now there is certainly something
bidding,
And thingsc are not what they seem.
The Mullets are real. the Mullets are
earnest.
And the pennant is their goal.
And the infield no longer looks like
One composite human mole
Both hard hitting and good fielding
Is their winning end and way,
So they work that each tomorrow
Finds them further than to-day.
Up, Null, then up and doing,
Linger not for tricks Of fate.
Remember that the team is third.
And not, as some thought, a cheap
skate.
The identity of this coming artist
will be furnished on application.
Mr.. Mace Changes His style,
There were some innovations in the
game other than the new faces on
our line up. Mr.. Mace has changed
his mode of wereing his shirt. which
was much marvelled at. Harry hasn't
had chance to get to the seashore,
but he is determined to have tanned
forearms anyway.
This may or may not be the Sc
cret of why Harry was exhibiting his
strong arms, one OF which once stood
him in good stead while doing time
as a right handed pitcher. Some al
lege that Harry had heard Of Dutch
Engeis wiring TO President Boyer that
he could not stand responsible for
Mace, when he struck Columbia He
viii be kilt" wrote Engel, and Harry
IS determined that the Skyscrapers
shall know that he still has good equip
1nent for infield fighting.
As matter of record il was the
fastest game of the season. The
Mullets don't like water as we'll as
their names might suggest, and the
baths last week were sufficient. They
all hurried, and appeared busy from
the start.
Although two errors soiled our col
umn they were not factors in the tall
~ made by the visitors. Oyler mix
ed his hands and feet with REYNOLDS
punty lob TO short. and the runner
beat the final effort to get il to Null.
Welchs dot was excusable. a high
bounding ball from Kuhn's bat getting
away from him.
Game Was Never Cinched.
Even with three tallies TO our credit
the game was not won until Mr..
Buessee had pushed the atmosphere
back 10 the fence in the ninth. In the
eighth, with three men on bases and
one man out, Denny Shea drove I'D 10
the plate and II looked bad. But Den
ny has been suffering with his eyes
and could not get the sphere through
the daisy infield. Oyler. TRULY and

that watered the visitors stock.
After the visitors had been retired in

the rubber and sat for a presentation.
