City Championship Game
 To Be Played Wednesday
Annual Clash of Y M O. A. and Athletic Club Will Bring Basketball Season to a Climax-Interest and Rivalry At Fever Heat and Game Will Be Hot
 test of Year

Both organizations have been playing good basketball of late. and have won the largest per cent of games on their own courts. The fans have been watch ing both closely for pointers on the nnai clash and 1t is admitted that the game will be one of the hardest fought ever witnessed.
 This is the first time the two teams have been together this year. Last year the club defeated the association twice, and this time great effort will be made to retrieve that record. However, if the club plays with the speed exhibited in the game against Wake Forest, 1t will take something wonderful to beat them.

changing from one club to another. We couldn't use signs against Washington last year that we employed che previous season. "Wid" Conroy was with the Sen ators. He played so long with the Tan kees that he had all our signals down pat. Of course, we had to get something new for Washington. The same went for Ira Thomas, with the Athletics, and with Detroit on account of George Moriarity. Beside. you never know just what scheme the other fellow is working. There is only one remedy, left when you think the other fellow is tipping off your battery signs with the binoculars and wigwagging it to the batter. Cross the batter. Shoot a fast one at his head when he expects q curve, and he'll lose faith in the source of his information. All these things neces- sitate many distinct sets of signals.
 You have seen Hugh Jennings the scrappy Tiger leader, coaching? You have noticed him pick grass and dance and yell and give vent to his world-re- nowned s.E-E-Yahtf' Well, some of that may be for effect. But you may chalk 1t down that a whole lot has sense and meaning to the mighty Detroit batsmen and base runners. Did you ever watch George Stalling's legs during tight bat tie? He is high strung and nervous on the bench, but every time he shifts those legs or changes his position in an way body, feet. or hands-it means something to us. And we sit up and take notice.
 Guessing the Play
 Now, in the baseball daring, if not mis- placed. will often go long way. l re- member the confession of Ira Thomas last season when I pulled the squeeze play on him at the Hilltop. We had sign when Ira was here for this play, which l sprung so that he could see. It was simply pushing the left side of the nose as if to remove dust from the face. Now the very fact that I used the signal disarmed Thomas. The squeeze was the logical play.
 "Oh. you're going to try the squeeze?' kidded Thomas.
 You guessed it." I said.
 That made him sure I wasn't. So he signalled for ball that could not have suited me better And I squeezed the runner in-in fact l beat the bunt- I'll never forget Ira's face when 1 turned back at first and gave him the laugh
 As to coaching on the base lines, none but experienced and heady players should be employed. You want men here who can size up situation in a twinkling. They should be those in whose judgment the players have implicit confidence But the coach should shoulder no more than his own responsibility. He is use ful to a player only when the latters back is turned to the ball. As a general rule the base runner himself should be his own coach except when finishing Hong sprint to stretch a base hit.

Greenwood lost first place by losing
to vicksburg, while Jackson was defeat-
ing Yazoo City. The game was won in
the last half Of the ninth. Welt is re-
sponsible for his own defeat. He passed
two batters with two out, and Mills
singled to left, scoring the winning rum,
Johnson started the scoring in the SEQ
ond for vicksburg by driving the ball
over left field fence. The outfield work
of both teams was sensational, especial-

HERE'S now Il sIANps.
MONDAYS GAME.

Too much is too much, and it seems
that Red Lee was the whole red at
Jackson Monday. A sorrel top lad with
comet ourves is often times unfindable
and the mighty sticksters that lay
around Nance at Jackson evidently are
impartial to red. Rallys and everything
else proved of no avail, and all attempts
to lasso and drag off Red Lee cause no
stirry. 1t was complete surrender to
ono Mr. JACK Lee, according to the re-
ports from the jackson fans. Starting
OF N q small sandwich the capitol fans
though he looked like their state house
by the time Greenwood has Melted
to victory. Just as soon as Red Lee
adorned the mound and showed his cur
ves over the disc all bets seemed set
tied. Everyone wondered where Reds
handspring was concealed. All the
team did wonders, and our esteemed
friend Gus Mcdonald cut leagne capers
around third, gobbling up everything in
his territory.
Stick work was tho other feature that
gladdened the hearts of the Greenwood
fans at the wire Monday afternoon.
Tho ever-best Ray Rolling, steady
Woodie Thornton, the new-hefty Miller
and snappy Frakes swatted near and
above the 500 mark and won the game
for Greenwood. Four lilliputian errors
were charged against the Chaeuffeurs,
but nothing occurred to deprive Green
wood Of her great victory. Law, Gus
Mcdonald and Hall also got neat rap
that added interest. In fact the fans at
home were proud of the entire aggrega-
tion.
Little more than baseball luck was re-
sponsible for Jackson's annexing her
two runs in the first inning. Halves
first up was hit by a pitched ball, went
to second on an error and was sacrificed
to third. Graham famed but the big
headed Flint scored him on his two bag
ger. Bates scored Flint on his two
baser. It's nothing but characteristic
Of Red Lee to tease them little.
The Chaeuffeurs ties the score in the
nth when Lee was give his base and
sacrificed by Gus Mcdonald. Ray Roll
ing flied out, but Woddie Thornton reg
istered a neat to-baser. Another pass
was given Big Kelley and our new
friend Miller scored him with two
tbaser. Hall closed with fly.
We added another in tho seventh, and
two in the min tn. jackson made = des-
perate attempt in her last to tie not
In affairs, but two much Red Lee and
gilt-edge support tanned the trick. Gus
three-bagger came in the ninth, and
Rolling's single scored him. Thornton
and Kelley's hits killed Rolling at the
plate. Miller gave file to the field
that scored our manager. Burton scor.

TUESDAYS GAME.
With the score to in favor of the
locals, in the first half Of the ninth the
Scouts found Eucich for a double and
single, which, aided free pass and ,
sacrifice, netted two runs and won the
second game Of the series. The Law
makers made desperate effort to rally
in their half of the last round, getting
a man on second and third, but Graham's
stick work would not materialize At the
critical point and his strike-out ended
ed the contest.
Except in tho sixth and eighth, Yer
neuille hold tho Nancys At his mercy
striking out II men and retiring the
lawmakers in almost one, two, three
fashion.
Another was added by the Nancys in
the eighth and it looked like the game
was to end in 80 victory, but in the
first half Of the ninth the visitors again
took the lead and retired the locals
without further run-getting.
The game was played on muddy dia-
mond, and, except for fast work in the
outfield, with almost devoid Of feature.
1t was announced that protest had
been filed by the locals, owing to the
playing of Collins in eenterheld for the
Scouts, it being claimed that he had
never signed a contract with Green
wood. Collins is good man, having
played several seasons ago in the old
Cotton States, and last year being with
Minneapolis in the American Associa-
tion. He showed up yesterday, and was
Immediately put to work.
Not to be outdone. Manager Thorn
ton himself filed > protest, on the ground
that it was against regulation for Flint,
Jackson's big inst sacker, to wear blue
cap, complaint that seemed to cause
much merriment among the fans.
