BASEBALL DOPE SHEET.

he three games with Grenada last
week were notable in many respects
II is likely that in no games played in
Mississippi since the college games In
the spring have there been so many
tirst-class amateurs present. The twin
brothers, Willie and Benny Mitchell,
pitchers, and Clay, centre-helder of the
A. & NJ. team, and Bob Mitchell, Charlie
Hightower and "Red" Sillers, pitchers;
and Roland, catcher; Bogard, lst base.
man; Jones, short-stop; Cooper. 2nd
baseman; and "Slooso" Moss coach of
the University team; were the visiting
stars. All Of these boys have made
good in fast company, and ii Is a matter
OF satisfaction and civic pride that our
homo boys were able to hold their own
and In some instances to shine even In
this brilliant company. Warner Wells,
Albert Metts and Rube Crawford won
especial praise from visitors on the
diamond and in the grand stand a. we'll
as from the home people, and all and sov-
orally of the home team are giving the
public and the management entire sat
isfaction.
In the first game with Hightower and
Rowland Crawford and Wells filling the
points thrilling game was played, one
of the best of the season. Score to
in favor Of Greenwood.
The second game was very salty
one. The visitors put MIR. Martin in
the box and doggcd persistence on their
part kept him there. The locals had
very fine batting and sprinting exer-
else, every man scoring and every man
hitting at will. The only feature of
this game was furnished when big |
"Sloose" Moss lined out long drive to
far right and speedy Johnson beat 1t to
the fence. Speedy jumped high and
pulled down the ball getting splnters
in the back of his hand from the tops OF
the pickets. 1t was circus catch and !
got much merited applause. Score 10
to favor Of Greenwood.
The third game was record maker
in many ways with Bob Mitchell the
premier pitcher of the University, In the
box for the visitors and Willie Mitchell,
the wonderful A. q NJ. pitcher, occupy
ing the same position for the locals, the
greatest drawing card ever offered on
local diamonds was presented. More
than 600 paid admissions was the re-
port of the gate-keeper, but sad to re.
late this large crowd saw Greenwood |
go down in defeat IN the most superb
game of ball ever Witnessed here and as
fine as was ever seen anywhere. The
score to |, favor OF Grenada, should
have been 0 to 0 for the nine innings.
There were no earned runs.
In the first inning Willie Mitchell
passed one to first, The next man up
struck to Jones short stop, who juggled
the ball then made wild throw to first
This put runner on End and 3rd. High
lower then lammed out long fly to
tight which Critz misiudged and two
scored.
In the sixth inning a Greenwood man
walked, went to End and 3rd on errors
md scored on hit.
Willie Mitchell struck out II men, gave
me hit, and passed one man to first,
Bob Mitchell struck out Is men, gave
I've Tits and passed two men.
On the whole the two teams seemed
'retty equally matched, though it is
lear Greenwood had the best batters.
The two teams met yesterday and to-
lay at Grenada for another trial.

In regard to the items in the daily
papers that the stockholders of the
Pocahontas Coal CO. had taken ac-
ton looking to the dissolution Of
that company, we are advised that
the Pocahontas Coke Co. was q COR
poratiOn organized under the laws
of the state Of West Virginia, about
three years ago, as a selling agency
for number Of operations in the
Pocahontas field, says the Bluefeld
Telegraph.
In the year 1906, several Of the
producing companies having con-
tracts Obliging the shipment Of
their entire output through the Po-
cahontas Coke CO. broke these con-
tracts, and after doing SO created
their own independent selling agency
for these few operations. It is said
that these shippers not only had
selling contracts with the Pocahon-
tas Coke CO., but were also interest
ed as stockholders. It was there
fore deemed desirable to wind up the
affairs Of the Pocahontas Coke Co.,
and this is being done.
Since January j, 1908, the Poca-
hontas Coke CO., Inc, corporation
organized under the laws Of Virgin
ia, with q capital Of $150,OSO, Of
which Charles S. Thorne is president
and Thomas f. Terrell is general
manager, with principal office in this
city, has been handling the bulk Of
the coke produced in the PoCahontas
field. This new company has no
connection with the old PocahOntas
Coke CO., which is being dissolved,
except that it has agreed to complete
the contracts for coke for which the
old company was obligated.
