Mobile. August 24-(special with
Stockdale and Suggs pitted against
Robinson, Mobile won both games of a
doubleheader this afternoon from Birming-
ham. the scores being 2-1 and 10.
In the first game Stockdale yielded more
hits than Robinson, but the latter was
wild and both of the runs made by Mobile
were started by him with a pass to
Thornton. He kept the hits scattered we'll
enough but he was unable to keep them
down when runner was on base, and
it was Rhoton who smacked the pellet
safely both times, driving Thornton
across the plate from second
The first time this occurred was in the
second inning; the last time in the sixth.
This run gave Mobile the victory, for
Robinson, who was the first man up in
the third inning, swatted the ball over
the right field fence for a home run,
trying the score.
Stockdale not only kept the hits made
off him scattered, but he used great
judgment when men were ON bases. Twice
he got himself out of very deep hole
in very commendable style. After Robin
son had made the circuit of the bases
in the third, Henline singled to left and
stole second, but he remained there, for
ELAN, Molesworth and McGilvray were
retired in order. In the fifth he climbed
out of a deep hole again. Larsen was
passed. Ludwig made mess in getting
Robinson's bunt to first, and both men
were advanced a base by Henline's sacri-
fee. ELAN famed, making the second
out, when Wordsworth stepped to the
plate Stockdale purposely put four wide
ones over in succession filling the bases
and taking chances on McGilvray, who
sent line drive to Watson, who stepped
on the bag with the ball. forcing Robin
son and winding up an inning which
looked pregnant with many runs without
a run being scored.
suggs pitched the second game and

mingham man got to second. and of the 10
men who had faced him up to that time
he had famed seven, yielding but one hit

sailing until the seventh and then he got
into a hole that looked so deep no one
thought he would get out alive.
ELAN opened this inning with a high
and long slam to center1eld, after which
Thornton sprinted, leaped into the air,
gathered the flying sphere, but lost it
again when he fell and rolled over, ELAN
going to second on the error Sugss pur-
posely passed Wordsworth McGilvray
sent low liner to left. ELAN hesitated
at second, which gave Wheat an oppor-
tunity to force him at third, but Watson
dropped the throw, and the bases were
full with no one out. Manuel, who had
been samming the ball good and hard,
selected bat and stepped up to the plate.
1t looked like a score for all the world,
but Manuel sent an easy grounder to
Sentell and ELAN was forced at the
plate. The bases were still full when
Gygli followed Manuel with the willow

she got Sentell to third in the previous
inning Watson was first up In the sixth
inning and he flew to Molesworth. Nc
Cay went out on a grounder from second
to first. Then it was that Wheat stepped
up to the plate and, after he had two
strikes called, there was a resounding
smack and the sphere sailed over the
right field fence, Wheat making the cir
cult OF the bases for the run which won
the game.
