SCORE ELEVEN RUNS
AND GAME IN FIFTH
Long Beach White sox Land Hard on
Schultz and Beat Wielands by
13 to 9-Losers May
Protest

Making eleven scores in the second
half of the fifth inning, the Long Beach
White Sox got ahead of the Wieland
brewery nine, cinching the game. The
fifth was a disastrous inning for the
visitors, the White Sox landing heavily
on Schultz and the Wielands making
numerous errors.
The Wielands threaten to protest the
game because Stovall, the big Lacquer,
has been playing with the Long Beach
club under the name of Murphy. The
protest may be made at the meeting
tonight. Stovall has played in all the
games in which the Long Beach team
has participated this season. His
heavy hitting counts for much in every
game. Some of the visiting team OBJ
jected to fling the protest after losing
the game. A drizzling rain fell through
out the last four and half innings

 Accompanying Professor Hunters statement Is a map, a copy of which has been received by B. l.. Moss, spe- cial agent In charge of this territory, showing the progress the weevil has made during the past year. The map shows that the dreaded pest has reach ed several delta counties. the circle en- closing portions of Bolivar, washing ton and Yazoo and all of sharkey, Issal quenA and Warren. Thus 1t Is appa- rent that the planters of six of the largest cotton@ growing counties in the delta must prepare to fight the weevil during the approaching crop year.
