UNIVERSITY OF MISS. DEFEATS A. & M. TEAM
Game Played In Columbus Before
 Great Throng-The Game In De- tail-Much Enthusiasm.

Columbus, Miss, May 1O.-(Special.)7 Before the largest crowd that ever wit messed a game in Columbus the Agricul- tural and Mechanical college lost to the University of Mississippi this afternoon In the first inning Mississippi crossed the plate twice. The fireworks began by Me- Donald being hit by a pitched ball. Hug gins hit safe, sending him to third. Hug gins stole second. Jones followed with a single, scoring Mcdonald. Huggins was thrown out at the plate, but Jones stole second and scored on Roberts error in handling Curry's grounder.
 The other tally was made in the sixth. Curry was hit by a pitched ball, went to second on Roach's single, was sacrificed to third by R. Mitchell and scored on Me- Donald's. single over second base. In the seventh. the boys from the Agricul- tural and Mechanical college looked like they would score, but failed. Men were on first and second. Only one was out but good team work by the university prevented either from getting any nearer home. Mcdonald, for the university, de- serves special mention for clever fielding and hard hitting, and Huggins for the university made one of the most spectac- ular running one-handed catches ever seen on the diamond. B. Mitchell for the Agricultural and Mechanical college pitched well, but lacked proper support to win Score by innings: R. H. D.

 Let's pull for Turner.
 Beecher made the runs.
 Tied with Montgomery.
 Down on the bottom again.
 Meek could not hit the ball. 
 Rain interfered with all leagues. 
 Atlanta and Memphis were rained out. At any rate, Matthews didn't get a hit.
 Carl Mitz was given his release yester- day.
 The matinees will be going this after noon.
 For goodness sake cut out some of those errors.
 Never before has General Jupe played such sad havoc.
 Let's win today and surprise them-at home and abroad.
 Think of Atz stinging the ball. Jakey was there with the stick.
 Ragan is en route to Shreveport. Watch him win the game he pitches.
 Molesworth got two hits, one of them being the longest of the game.
 The Barons helped the Pelicans. They couldn't have done it by themselves.
 Little Rock again lost to Nashville. The Dobbers outplayed the Travellers, too. Lister got another hit. Montgomery got none. Alcock made his usual error. Dobbs is trying to dodge the limit rule. Billy Smith did the same thing last sea- son.
 The idea of Whitey Guese beating any body. Jack Ely will be beating live one next.
 Vaughn had a whole lot to say down in New Orleans. He was talking probably in order that no questions could be asked in reference to the Ragan episode.
 Montgomery is surprising everything in the west. Shreveport was beaten, and then tied in a fifteen inning bout. Ma larky and Graham split honors practi- cally even.
 Explaining that he and President Boyer cannot paddle their canoes in the same stream, Wilson Matthews, manager of the Charleston South Atlantic league team, has rendered his resignation. Mat thews will win the pennant for Charles ton if they let him alone. It was due to Matthews that Raymond is pitching every day and winning just as often. The man ager is not unknown in Birmingham.

Manager Vaughn Sings
 Sheetly 70 Pelican Scribe

In the following swiped bodily from the New Orleans Picayune. Manager Vaughn gives his views up to date:
 Atlanta looks very good to Manager Harry Vaughn of the Birmingham ball club, although the Baron manager said that his club would round into shape be- fore their western trip was over, and intimated that the scribes of Slagville were allowing the clammy fingers of despair to clutch their pens too soon in the race for another pennant. The husky Ohoan, alleged by some sheets to be an English lord masquerading under false colors, in this section, was disappointed at not being able to play yesterday, as his team is getting too much rest for their own good but took cheerful view of things last night after dinner, and, all though dlffident as most managers are, he was enthusiastic over the increasing strength of the league clubs, and said the season should be much better than last.
 The eastern division clubs are stronger, according to Vaughn, than last year. At lantas weakness lay in the pitching staff. Birmingham's in the crippled condition of regular players, Nashvilles In pitchers and infield, and Montgomery in the disor- ganized condition of the club. Being un- acquainted with anything more than the mere figures of the western quartette, he couldn't guess how the standing would be at the seasons close, but thought Nashville and Montgomery would be leading the second division, while he hoped Birmingham would cop the pen nant, and feared that Atlanta would come second, with New Orleans and Memphis panting along behind, and Little Rock and Shreveport bringing up the rear.
 The manager of the visitors said that the

 Wednesday. After being released by
 Nashville he asked Manager Dobbs, Pres
 ident Kuhn and others if there was
 chance for him. All those whom he eon-
 suited gave him a word of encourage

 days after writing this letter he received
 his appointment. and was instructed to
 report to Memphis where he officiate1

 The Montgomery Advertiser has quit so completely that when Birmingham was tied with Montgomery for last place for two days, the Montgomery club was al- 1 lowed to rest in eighth position with Bir- mingham seventh. Of course, 1t doesn't l do the team any material good to give ] it the benefit of a tie, but it shows spirit f and that is what is needed to win games. 1 The Montgomery club is going along all right now and should be given support 1 Arkansas Gazette.
 1 Eastern papers have wrong impression ! concerning the Shreveport club, appar- l ently basing their statements on the Pir- | ates position in the race. It will be found 1 before the season is over that the Shreve- | port club is second to no western club, | except Little Rock.

 It is alleged that Pfenninger's hatred of the Pelican boss dates back some two

i race this year was going to be close, and as none of the clubs were more than a few games behind the leaders, it was a toss up as to who would set the pace in the next month. John Malarkey was gaining in managerial skill betimes and getting a brilliant and costly lot of ball tossers John Dobbs of Nashville wasn't sparing time or money and Billy Smith of Atlanta was being given all sorts of encouragement and other things with which to round up a pennant-winning aggregation. He had heard that Fisher and Finn and Frank. three of the west ern managers. had some fine material, and that Finn had placed all of his coin back of the club this year, while Babb, at Memphis, was starting like a platter and had the best bunch of pinch hitters in the league.
 Digressing a little, Manager Vaughn said that, while he would not wish Sleep ervllle the loss of it's franchise, it really looked as though Chattanooga was going to insist more and more on admission into the circuit, and unless one of the three smaller holders got busy, there might be changes in the towns on the baseball map next year. Birmingham was draw ing fairly well, but the people were not looking at the matter of losing a few games in the proper light. Manager Vaughn asserts that Birmingham made a poor start on account of the unavoidable lack of condition on the part of the play CTS, but that. although he may lose every game in the west, he will not be seriously Vexed if the team gets to playing to- gether before they return. Plenty of time," is the managers slogan. He be- lieves that team work must win in any game and individual stars find small en- couragement unless their work is in the same direction with the balance of the team

 New Orleans May 1o.-(special)-The Barons were beaten this afternoon, the score being 3 to O.
 The Pelicans played an errorless game, and Guese pitched magnificent ball. al lowing but five hits. In addition, the Pelicans rapped out seven safe bingles themselves.
 In none of the above facts however, lies the cause for the local victory. The Barons made numerous errors, and 10 these the entire bunch of scores made by the locals is due. Wilhelm yielded seven hits, but kept them well scattered. In fact had there occurred no errors 1t is probable that the game would still be going.
 Considering the wet grounds, the game was a pretty exhibition. True, the visit ors had no chance to score. The tallies of the locals however were made so far apart that the game was not lacking in snap and ginger. There was very small attendance.
 The feature of the game was the one handed running stab of Gardner. Guese's S pitching, too, was brilliant. Beecher was the star run-getter and Atz was the star hitter.
 Manager Vaughn tried Montgomery again on third, and the Baron was still unable to get his optics on the ball Alcock was played at short and as usual made his error. It counted the scoring too.
 Oyler's leg is not strong as yet, and Vaughn considered it proper to give him more time.
 The indications are that it will be pos sble to play a game tomorrow. It is re- ported that Bretenstein will be given another chance, Manager Frank consid- ering 1t dangerous to keep him over till Sunday. Turner will pitch for Birming- ham. The fans are demanding the game today. Vaughn's crew Is not very popu- lar here

At midnight's holy hour last night there mounted the Alabama Great Southern at Birmingham, tall wayfarer, who showed by the expression that hung about his face that he had done wrong and re- pented.
 The traveller had in his right hand a ticket which guaranteed him passage to Shreveport. It was MT. Ragan.
 Rip, in many salty tears, apologized for what he had done. He and President Baugh had a long conversation, lasting

from 9 in the morning until 1 o'clock in the afternoon. President Baug'h said sev- eral things about what had been done, and never again" was mentioned. Ragan was pleased to promise, and his face wore an expression humble and pious.
 The agreement is not known. It is known, however, that Ragan was given a ticket from Birmingham to Shreveport and that he left last night. He will par ticipate. doubtless, in the game Sunday. The odds are that he will win 1t, too.
