A. 8 NJ. COLLEGE TEAM
WIN THE CHAMPIONSHIP
A. AND M. COLLEGE WON SEVENTH SERIES YESTERDAY.
TOOK TWO GAMES FROM UNIVERSITY OF NASHVILLE
LARGE CROWDS WITNESSED THE GAMES

The championship collegiate
baseball games of the South,
were credited to the Agricultur-
al and Mechanical College yes
terday morning when they took
the second.game from the Univer-
sity of Nashville, at Lake Park.
These two colleges both having
claimed the championship.
The A. & NJ. College has not
lost a game out of seven series
played this season, including the
two games with Nashville the
past week, and the full lineup
of players of this Mississippi
team are due a great deal of
credit.
The first game of the series
began Friday morning at ten
O'Clock and despite the dark
clouds that hung low over CO.
lumbus during the forenoon,
large crowd of baseball lovers
were present.
Up to the ninth inning the
score stood 8 to 0, in favor of the
Mississippi team, but new life
seemed to have awakened the
Nashville bunch at the first of
the ninth, when two runs were
made by them, although they
did not succeed in tying their
opponents.
The feature of the first game
was the pretty catch made in
deep center, by the A. & Ms
center fielder, Clay. The bat
teries for this team, Hearn, and
Mcclellan, did fine work.
Taylor's work at short, for the
Tennesseans and the pitching
for the University boys by Funk,
were also features.
On account of rain Friday af-
ternoon the second game was
called at the second half of the
first inning.
The second game was wit
messed by several thousand peo-
pie yesterday morning, includ-
ing students from the l. l. and
C., and A. and M. College, the
latter of whom were accompa-
MED by their well trained brass
band. A shut out was given the
u. of n. team, at this game, all
due to fine work of the A. and
Ms pitcher, B. Mitchell, who
struck out fifteen men. He was
.r rendered good support by
his whole team. The hitting of
Mcclellan and the pretty work
done in center field, by Clay,
were the star features.
The following is the lineup of
