to her lips when she laughed. and bs-
cause lace handkerchiefs were Jo-

ALABAMA CLEANS
 UP WITH GEORGIA

Tuscaloosa, May ecial.)-Alabama made it three straights from Georgia by winning both games in double-header this afternoon, the scores being 5-4 and 40. The two games were hotly contested from the start and were full of brilliant plays. Alabama, mindful of her defeat at Georgia's hands last year went into the game to win and they won, although the fight was hard. This was especially true of the first game, as 1t was not won until a Garrison finish occurred in the ninth which brought the assembled crowd to it's feet. This makes IS straight vic tories for Alabama. Varsity opened up in the first when Pratt led off with hit Waite was safe on a fielder's choice Snedecor hit safe, scoring Pratt and Waite scampered in when Mudd strung out a clean one. Georgia scored one in the fourth when Twitty and Hodgeson landed safe and Twitty came in an error. Alabama scored two more in the fifth on a base on balls, hit and an error. In the eighth Georgia opened with @ base on balls and two hits following scored two In the ninth she showed one man across on a hit and two errors tieing the score, but varsity was equal to the emergency. Tucker led off with a sting ing three-sacker and scored when Pratt followed with a drive to right field. This finish brought the crowd to it's feet. In addition to this feature, Pratt made a difficult catch which was spectacular. Hutchins batted for Lucas in the eighth and ninth.

Neither side scored in the first and second in- nngs. but in the third varsity showed one runner across the pan when Pratt led off by a hit and scored on Me Clesky's error.

Howard college has completed it's 1909 football schedule and has elected w. M. Blount, one of it's best players, captain.
 The schedule is the best that Howard has arranged for the past several years. Auburn, Alabama, Marion, Mercer, Chat tanooga, Southwestern Presbyterian uni versity, Agricultural and Mechanical Col lege of Mississippi, Birmingham college and Georgetown college of Georgetown, Ky, will be met thls year.
 The Howard-G Georgetown game will con- f1ict with the Alabana-Louisiana state affray, but Birmingham is probably large enough to give both a good patronage.
 Dr. J. B. Longwell, the Pennsylvania star who will coach Howard this season, will report for duty August 15. two weeks before the opening of the college. The football men will meet him at that time,
