COLUMBIANS WIN
FROM JEFFERSON
LAWS MEN EXPERIENCE LITTLE
DIFFICULTY IN DEFEATING
JEFFERSON COLLEGE
TEAM WEDNESDAY.
Visitors Failed to Score Until Ninth
Inning, When Inopportune Err
rors Let in Three Runs:
Huber Was in Game.

Guilty in defeating the Jefferson Col
lege team on the Lake Park diamond
on Wednesday afternoon. The home
team played a good, easy-going game,
piled up scores slowly but stead
aving made two runs in the sec
ona inning and one ru1 each in the
three following innings. The visitors
failed to score until the ninth inning,
when costly errors on the part of
Shelter and Manush let in three runs,
and the Jeffersonians thus escaped
by the skin of their teeth a nice coat
of whitewash.
Law wanted to give his pitchers as
much practice as possible, so both
Casey and O'Mara appeared in We'd
nesday's game, Casey having pitched
the first five innings, when he was re-
placed by the big Irishman who pitch
ed the home team to victory on num-
erous occasions last summer. Both
men were in fine form, and both
pitched brilliantly. Neither O'Mara
nor Casey yielded a single hit, the
three runs secured by the visitors
having resulted from inopportune err
rOrS on the part of Manush and Shelf
fer. Manush is a good ball player,
and Law is satisfied that he'll make
good. All of US have off days, how
ever, and Manush was suffering from
transitory inability to judge a fast
grounder Wednesday afternoon. He
played most acceptably in the games
with Marion, and showed up we'll at
practice Tuesday afternoon, but on
Wednesday he took a bum slant and
somehow failed TO deliver the gro
ceries, or, rather, the pigskin sphe
roid at the opportune moment. The
rooters still have confidence in him,
however, and believe that he'll prove
to be not only a crack-a-jack third
baseman, but a heavy hitter.
Huber arrived from New Orleans
Tuesday night and made his first ap-
pearance with the home team We'd
nesday afternoon. Huber is small in
statue, but he's a condensed package
of nerve and muscle, and has an eye
like an eagle. He is quick and agile,
fields his position superbly well, and
throws with unerring aim
Parrott, the Memphis boy recently
signed by Law as exchange catcher.
was at the ball park in uniform on
Wednesday afternoon, but did not
participate in the game. Turner, a
Texas player who is here for a try
out, was behind the bat and caught
an error1ess game.
The Jeffersonians put up a nice,
clean game, but are hardly heavy
enough to go up against profession
ais. King was in the box for the
visitors, and had good control of the
ball, while the work of Comenz at
first base was up to highwater mark.

dope digger with being afflicted with
'tbrainstorm" because he attributed
the defeat of Laws men in the sec
ond game with Marion to a sand
storm" The use of the word brain
storm" shows that the Vicksburg
writer has been reading accounts of
the Thaw trial, but had he read more
closely he would have found that the
most eminent alienists declared that
no such disease exists, and had he
consulted any standard dictionary he
would have found that there is no
such word in the English language.
