SHUTS OUT
 SEAGULLS Doctor Thomas Did the
 Business. MOBILIANS AT HIS MERCY Ryan's Team Gave Old Town Fine
 Exhibition. small Crowd Saw The Best Game al Monroe Park This Season. Torrey Pitched steady
 Game.

Mobile, June 12-(Special)- With 8 heavy sea breeze blowing over Monroe Park carrying with 1t a drizzling rain. a small attendance witnessed the Climbers defeat the Sea Gulis this afternoon in pitchers battle between Thomas and Torrey by score of to
 The game was brim full of snap and vigor from the announcement of the batteries by Pfenninger to the last out of Hart from Thomas to Baxter. and those present, although few, had wit messed one of the fastest exhibitions or ball playing seen on the local lot this season.
 To pitcher Thomas is undoubtedly due the credit of the victory. for save in the fourth inning the locals were unable to make more than one safety in single inning, and in this inning was when the Doctor crowned himself with
 Daley, first up, singled to left and was followed by Thornton who doubled in the same territory advancing Daley to third and placing the Montgomery twirler in hole. The local rooters never expected to see him get out without the Gulls scoring one or more men.
 With the greatest of deliberation the Doctor began to shoot his fast breaking curves over, three out of every four cutting the plate with such speed and break that neither Hart, Benson nor McIyer could safely connect with or even send the pellet out of the diamond.
 The Climbers made the only run or the game in the seventh in this man ner: Greminger, first up, hit to third, and was safe on Benson's error. Per- ry hit to second and double play re- suited. Pope doubled to left. Hassett singled along the left foul line and Pope scored Hassett went to second on the throw in. Hart went out second to first

Another Ball Controversy;
 Amateurs Will Not Get Together

The fend between the Rumble Bees and the Hill Billies about winning match games is entirely overshadowed by the contradfctions of senior teams. This. time 1t is the Montgomery Greys and the Y. NJ C.. A. in the City League, who do not wish to be outdons by the boys league.
 A n, .riber of the Montgomery Greys handed in the account of the game as published in yesterday mornings s Advertiser After reading the account a member of the Y. M. C. A. appears with the following letter to the sport ing editor:
 To the Sporting Editor. Montgomery j. Advertiser:
 I wish to make a correction in the account of the game Thursday between the Y. M. c. A. and the Montgomery Greys. Your paper of the Izrn stated that .'but for one bad inning the Greys would have scored a shutout." The record of the official scorer shows that khe Greys never made single earned run. which is quite different from the account given to your paper by a menu

 Notes of the Game.
 Four fast doubles were pulled off in today's game three by the locals and one by the visitors.
 pr. Thomas had the local sons of swat at his mercy today. ..
 Speed? We have never seen the like of 1t. One of the local rooters suggest. ed today that Thomas was from Choc- taw County. where to be pitcher your arm must be good enough to pitch for both sides and play a double header every fourth of July. H
 Torrey pitched a steady game today, but was given ragged support, four er- TOTS being made behind him. as
 Of the six hits made off Thomas three are credited to Thornton. two to Daley and Benson got the other one.
 The bleacher rooters- figure the Nun gums will finish close up in the pen nant race. and if Mobile can't win the rag they want to see 1t float in the Capitol City.

Der of the Montgomery Greys. The features of the game were the pitching or Brarne and Bradford, ana two fast doubles by the Pierce brothers from second base to first base
 Inere was an absence of hitting by noth teams. otherwise the game was fast and snappy. The city league is playing fast ball now, and with the ladies admitted to all games free, there should be large crowd out to see the double header Saturday evening be- tween the '. M. c. A and the Western.
 "A fan who saw the game
 As matter of fact" said the mem Der of the '. M. c. A. as he handed in the letter to the editor, 'the Y. M c A, had the game hands down up to the eighth Inning, when that team wens up Tn the air higher than a kite in the hands of youngster with two balls of twine. Had it not been for that one in- ming the score would have been 8 to for the Y. M c. A"
 Therefore whoever first gets the scors to the sporting editor on Saturday win win the double header.

The prediction that the financial stringency and the bad weather this spring would combine to cause some of the minor leagues to give up the ghost has been fulfilled by the collapse of the Gulf Coast League, the Union League and the Atlantic Association thus early in the season. Of these, the Gulf Coast organization was the only one of any real consequence in the baseball world.
