cmies and made the record OF winning
four straight games from teams that
are considered by all to be far above
the average. Yesterdays game with
Emporla resulted IN the game manner
as did the game here with the same ag-
gregation as opponents, to- wit---one large
goose egg for Emporla. Tho Brownies
meanwhile were scoring three runs,

All those who have seen the So,lthsidc

expect when he throws away his head
gear. And there was nothing doing be-
tween FIRST and second base. for Elmore's
arm worked like a pump. and the sphere
always sailed down to second In time to
silence the would he thief. Over on third
sack John McEvoy was playing. Now Me-
Evoy Is one OF the best players in the
business when he wants to be, and since
he has been away he has wanted to-.

that were won while the team was away.
He won both games with ease. and was
due a shut-out In the Wednesday game.

game, and but for the bad throw In the
ninth Inning by Knightly the run column
OF the Norfolk aggregation would have
been lacking in anything other than large
round lnaughts.
In the game yesterday at Emporla there
