 By coincidence both pitchers in that battle were in against each other yes- terday-Gordan Hickman, the Birming- ham boy, for Shreveport, and Bert Maxwell for Montgomery. In the thirteenth inning of that sun day game last summer, Hickman weak ened and Jack Lee was put in with the all over the lot and Montgomery won the game from Shreveport by a score | of to 2.
