Record for Mitchell.

San Antonio, Tex, Aug. 21-Willie
Mitchell, pitcher for the San Antonio
Fexas League club, today In game
with Galveston, struck out twenty
men in nine inning game. He estab-
blished record for successive innings
up to the last. Mitchell comes from
the Mississippi A. & M. College.
The southpaw used a world of speed
and perfect control all the time. re-
sorting to curves only when the strike
out record was in sight and the game
won beyond chance of danger. Ably
handy by Catcher Alexander, himself
formerly of the Memphis club. Willie
was never troubled. Galveston secur-
ed four hits and lost 8 to 0.
Not only was Mitchell possessor OF
OF the record Of this and other leagues
at the close, but he established . re-
cord OF every succession Of innings ur

drop and jump ball. Mitchell used
these only as q change Of pace. saI

fortunately for Gree nwood, all it's
bets were uncovered, as she felt sure
that Casey would get his bumps as u.s.
ual, and that Renpie would pitch his
usual game. Several, however, made
the losing Investment, for Casey fooled
us with his luck. The support given
him was faultless save the lone error
made by Chastant In center garden.
We hit Casey as usual, but the lad with
the Irish cognomen had the luck to get
them scattered. Several times he felt
himself slipping. until finally the side
would die away, and he would lag in to
the bench thanking his stars that an
other round had been fought. Casey
only struck out two men, and walked
one. Everybody seemed to hit the ball.

high one over the right field fence in

Henry for corinth hit one over the left
field fence for home run; then in the
sixth Henry raped for two bases, and
Pope followed with another home run.

pass gave Dudley and Parker life, Cas-
ey hit safe to right, advancing Dudley
to third. Willett hit to Benham who

FRANK ALLEN PROVES he IS AS GOOD AS The BEST
Bob Mitchell and Stevens Figure Pitchers Duel In the Second Came
Greenwood Loses Errors.

Greenwood trotted over to Cor
inth, leaving this city early Sunday
morning, with the first series in
her jeans. Wells was the only
man left behind, the management
taking Monaghan, Campbell and
Benham. We suspected all kinds
of things from the Corinth people,
for when we saw them bring Geo.
Suggs over here for game
right before all our eyes, we knew
that there would be no telling what
they would shove up against us
when they were on their home lots.
We Greenwood people didn't know
who was going to oppose our Frank
Allen, and we didn't care a rap.
But still the rumor ran that Corinth
would shove Bill Chapelle, of Bell
Cord fame. in the first game.
That the mighty Christy Mathew
son would manipulate the keys in
the second game, and for Wednes-
days game that the fictitious Rich
ard Merriwell, of tip Top fame,
would be transformed into a real
ity, tapped and served to the Green
wood sticksters. The only thing
we can infer from such actions as
these, is that they appreciate the
ability of our batsmen, compli-
ment to them. A part of the ru-
NOR was confirmed whed Bill Chap
pelle stepped out in Mondays
game to serve freaky benders to
our boys. But still our Frank Al
len was there with the big hand,
and it resulted in a pitchers duel
between the two, with Chappelle
having the best of the argument.
They say that Big Bill had every
thing in the way of curves and
speed. He yielded only two hits.
Corinth bats were not overworked d
but they finally punched five hits
off of Frank. Metts got the first
hit in the fourth for two bases,
with two down. Campbell bunted
to Charpelle, but went out at first.
Corinth scored in the second in
ming. With two down Chastant
was passed. Casey sacrificed him
and he scored on McClellan's pass
ball. Monaghan was then substi-
tuted for Mickey in the last half OF
the fourth. Mcdonald, first up in
the sixth, hit safe, but Con drew a
double play as result of his at
tempt to but. Corinth, in the
sixth scored again when Howe rap
ped for two bags, and was advanced
to third on Chappelle's bunt which
Gus threw wild to first. Cox then
hit through short, scoring Howse
Chastant ended it by tanning. II
the seventh with one out, Green bit
for two bases, and scored from sec.
ond on Howse' second hit. In the
eighth Monaghan was robbed of {
| hit by fast fielding on the part o.
Cox. Gus was robbed of another
in the ninth. Anyhow Corinth was
all fun Monday night, rejoicing ov
er their noodler, Chappelle. Well
he is due all the credit, for if Cor
inth had played the team that ha
been representing her all the seasol
as Greenwood is doing, true sports
manship, another tale would hav
been wired around.

Saturdays Game.

The sugar game drew out the banner
crowd, because everybody was depend
ing on Bob Mitchell to bag the series.
Lovers Of baseball from Itta Bena. Min
ter City, Carrollton, Winona and all the
adjacent towns and cities came over to
see the final game. The weather that
Bob had prayed for came and every
body was with him. Bob only struck
out three, but he knew that he had
eight real, live human ball tossers be-
hind him that should share in the glory
of the victory, SO he dabbled it around
to them. He only walked one man,
showing almost perfect control. David,
the Lilliputian, who has won SO many
games for corinth this season, lasted
only four innings and was replaced by
Parker, who Jared little better. Errors
coupled with Is hits made the game lop-
sided for Greenwood. Still the betters
were glad of it. The only unpleasant
feature of the game was the spraining
of Isom Jones ankle. Isom was epdeav-
oring to beat out close hit and collid-
ed with Howse, wrenching his ankle.
This will very likely throw Iscm opt of
the series at corintb, which will Grip
pie as materially. Con Welsh was made
field captain after this unfortunate sc-
cident.
eorinth's fielding was ragged, six
rank errors being pulled of at inoppor-
tune times. Several ascensions were
made, and the whole team appeared
lightheaded at times. Greenwood only
drew two errors, and gave Bob Mitch
