day, May rs. DR. johnson moved
10 this community about two years

heartfelt sympathy goes ont to our
beloved doctor and his family in
their sad hour of afliction. Mrs
johnson had been in declining health

not unexpected. The beautiful, pa.
tient and Christian spirit of the one

years she spent in our midss will
long be cherished in cur hearts.

The parties shown were an Indian

Livingstone was the central figure,

NTarshall's Hit Wins.

In the twelfth inning of the open
ing game against Gulfport Thursday
afternoon, with the score tied, two
men down and the bases clear, Mar
shall hit to deep center for three
bags, and scored on a passed ball.
Darkness was about to end the game
and Manager May had gone so far
as to announce that there would be
a double header Friday, and people
had begun to make a dash for the
trolley cars, when Marshall proved
anew the oft repeated declaration
that the outcome of a baseball game
is never certain until the last man
is out. Lively, probably thinking
that a hit under existing circum-
stances would amount to naught,
lobbed the ball over, and Marshall
tapped it on the nose. The hit
netted him three bags, and when a
passed ball enabled him to score
there were loud and lusty cheers.
The cheers were not OF the made-to-
order variety which marked the pro-
gress of the Republican convention
at Chicago, but were genuine and
sincere, for Columbus had snatched
victory from the very jaws of defeat,
and the rooters were happy.
Thursdays game was remarkable
in many respects. At the beginning
of the ninth inning the score stood
three to one in favor of Gulfport. In
the ninth Columbus made two runs
and tied the score, and in the twelfth
Marshall scored the tally that won
the game.
Allison was in the box for nine
innings, and pitched effectively, hav-
ing kept his hits we'll scattered. At
the beginning of the tenth May went
in the box and effectually prevented
the visitors from increasing heir
score.
Bammert gave Columbus the hot
end of several questionable decisions
Thursday afternoon, and righteous
anger was displayed in both grand
stand and bleachers. Bammert may
be perfectly honest and sincere, but
his work Thursday afternoon was Of
a character that will bring dissention
and discord throughout the circuit
IL persisted in.

A Garrison Finish.

Columbus made another garrison
finish Friday afternoon. With the
score standing two to two in the
eighth, Mitchell singled and scored
on Anderson's three bagger. Ander-
son crossed home plate on Murch' s
error, giving Columbus a total of
four runs. Gu1fport failed to annex
any runs in the ninth, and Columbus
won, with a run to spare
That Manager May works for the
good Of the team, rather than for
his own glory, was evinced by his
action in retiring from the box Fri
day afternoon. He started IN to
pitch for Columbus, but on account
of having exerted himself on the pre-
vious day was not in condition. Gulf
port made one run In the first inning
and another IN the third, after which
May retired IN favor of Pylant. The
boy with the sandy hair was in fine
form, and not a single run was made
by the visitors after he entered the
box.

Danaree i'm Fine Form.

BY pitching double header
against Monroe Wednesday after
noon, and winning both games, Dam
aree has given the half dozen fans
who had lost faith in his ability cause
for renewed hope. Some people think
that when a team loses a game it has
become hopelessly demoralized and
lar, while many fans insist upon re-
leasing a pitcher if he shows weak
ness in a single game.
Damaree was at his best Wednes-
day afternoon, and clearly demon
strated the fact that there's nothing
the matter with his pitching wing.
He allowed only twelve hits during
the eighteen innings, and was victo-
rious in both games, Columbus hav-
ing won the first by a score of four
to nothing and the second by a score
of five TO three. He had full control
of the ball at all times throughout
the eighteen innings, and was mas
terful at critical moments.
In the second game Columbus
made all her runs in the seventh in
ming. Hits and errors followed one
upon the other in rapid succession,
and after four DISCOVERIES had cross
ed the plate Whalen, who was pitch
ing for Monroe, threw the ball an
grily to the ground. The spheroid
rolled merrily off toward the outfeld,
and before it could be recovered Ling,
who was on second base, scored.
who has been hitting fend-
ishly recently, kept up his good stick
work Wednesday afternoon, having
lined out three bagger that brought
in two runs. Corbett, the new sec
ond baseman, showed up better We'd

seven chances without an error.

Columbus, Jackson and Vicksburg
are so closely punched that the re
suit of the three games in this city

termine the standing Of Columbus in
the league for a good while TO come.
Tt is possible for Columbus to get in
first place again by winning this Sc
ries. and if there was ever a time
when the loyal should attend and
root for the home club it is now.
Every man, woman and child who
loves baseball and who feels a spark
of pride in the outcome of the season
is urged TO be on hand tomorrow.
Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons
Blackburn is going to make des-
perate effort to take all three games,
and Manager May is equally deter
mined that his men shall have the
victories. Our pitching staff IS in
gilt edge shape now, and We must go
after all three. After the Vicksburg
series We will be without baseball for
a while, and this reason should in
duce every one TO attend. The game
will begin promptly tomorrow after
noon at quarter past four. Be on
hand and help win. You can do it
by cheering the home men on TO vic
tory. Let's help them out by root

coverers took the second by a score

pitched for Columbus, and kept his
hits scattered, numerous errors hay-
ing caused Gulfport TO win.
May started into pitch the second
game, but was hit freely, and after
two runs had been made relinquished
the local mound to Allison. Cor
belts hitting was the feature of the
game. In the ninth he tied things
up by bingle. ~lich scored Manush.
