New life seems to have been in
cent shake up, and instead of giving
excuses for not winning games the
CoIumbians are now showing how to
win them. Under the able leadership
of Red" Wright the boys have "got
together in great shape, and have
started out on winning streak that
will, it is hoped, continue throughout
the season. The local fans have al
ways shown disposition to patron
ize the sport most literally, and since

games have been unusually large.

The Vicksburgers were shut out by
the locals Friday afternoon. Teams
representing the University of Mis-
sissippi and the A. and NJ. College
were scheduled TO play at 4:30 p. m.
and the league game was called at
2:30. The attendance was unusually
large. there having been more than
two thousand people present. Milton
pitched for the locals, and his twirl
ing won the admiration of all pres
ent. Milton possesses not only a fine
arm, but a great head, and seems des-
tined to rank as one of the star pitch
ers of the Cotton States League.
While not a single one of Black
burns men scored Friday afternoon,
six Columbians crossed home plate
during the progress of the game. The
fun commenced in the first inning,
when Stark walked, went to second
on an error by Bishop, was sacrificed
to third by Huber, and scored on
WEdght's single. In the third Stark
walked and advanced to third on HUI
ber's two bagger; Collins bunted

when Hopkins raped out a two bag
ger, Blackburn singled. and Hopkins
advanced to third, scoring on a wild
throw by Casey, who made a vain
effort to catch Blackburn mapping at
first. The first run of the locals was
made in the sixth, when Stark and
Collins walked, Wright singled, adj
vancing both runners, and STARK scor-
ed on Turner's grounder TO short.
The second run did not come until
the tenth, when Stark walked, was
sacrificed to second by Collins, and
scored on Wrignt's two bagger.
Casey was on the firing line fer
the locals, and pitched great BAH.
