That was hard on Sprinkle, and lot

Tutwiler two and Gondolf one off his

notice during the season. Then jim

showing up especially well in this par

team.

Instructions Giuen to The
Umpres By Pres. Scott

President Scott, of the Cotton States
League, has given the umpires of the
league instructions as follows:
Change your clothing at your room
in town and not at the club house.
The home management shall furnish
two officers to assist in preserving Or
der. They must be entirely under
your control and before starting game
place them where you want them.
You will meet the captains of both
teams at the home plate, where you
will receive the balls and the batteries
and have thorough understanding of
ground rules. Announce the batteries
to the grand stand and then to the
bleachers. You will also announce to
the stand and bleachers any change
in the lineup when change is made.
Your position will be behind the
catcher unless first or second base is
occupied by runner.
In calling strikes raise your hand.
In calling balls it will not be neces-
sary to do this, but try and make
every one hear you.
See that all players except the bat.

ton your decision, and do not let MN
delay the game unnecessarily.
Fine and remove all players who DIS
pute your decisions, but before remoV-
ing player tell the manager of his cluD
to warn him. Players are to play ball
and you do not need their assistance IN
umpiring.
When a player has been removed a
fine of IS is assessed against him by
the league.
When a player is fined it must be
paid before he can take part in another
game.
Report all fines promptly and col
lect same before allowing player to
take part in a game.
Keep me advised of any trouble you
may have and report to me at once
anything that requires quick action.
Keep the players moving; have them
change sides quickly and do not al
law any delays in batter taking posi-
ton.
Keep the players on the bench at all
times. Every one wants clean, snappy
ball and want you at all times to be
in complete control. 1 do not want

less game, cheered on to victory by
the largest, most representative and
most enthusiastic crowd that ever
filed Hamper Park, the Hattiesburg
team took the opening game of the
1911 season Thursday from Meridian
by score of to 2.
1t was brilliant ball game and both
teams showed high class work. In
fact it was the concensus of opinion
among those best posted on the great
national game, that Judging by the
Hattiesburg and Meridian teams, the
Southern League will not put up
faster or better ball this season than
the Cotton States.
AS to the game. That magnificent
crowd, graced by the presence of hun
dreds of the fair sex in brilliant at
tire was enough to inspire the two
teams to their best efforts, and every
man did his duty. And then the fact
that there were nearly two hundred
enthusiastic Meridian rooters in the
stands, and that both teams came in
for a large measure of cheers and ap-
-proval made the contest all the more
interesting.
In seeking the finer points of the
game, or of the more brilliant plays
for special approval, one is really lost
to discriminate, for 1t was well
rounded contest, and while here and
there especial opportunities were Of
fered, no man on either team showed
weakness or inability, and all put up
finished article of ball.
AS had been scheduled, Eaton was
in the box for Hattiesburg, and Eaton
twas there with the goods" Eleven
Meridianites famed the air during the
nine innings in their efforts to connect
with his swift benders, or slow drops,
and looked sheepish in their efforts.
1t is rather early In the season for a
pitcher to go through nine innings
without visible signs of distress, and
while Eaton may have weakened bit
at the last, he at all times had control
of the situation. He kept the hits OF
the opposing batters well scattered
and had remarkable control for this
early in the season.
The fielding of the Hattiesburg in
field was fast and almost perfect
while In the outfield Miller, Smith and
Swan all pulled down Bice ones. But
it was at the bat Hattiesburg came
strong, showing better form than las
years team at any time during the
season. Manager Smith, an old South
ern League champion with the sticl
batted 1000; sacrifice, a single anC
two two-baggers. Wickenhoffer Il
credited with three I singles out o
four times up; Miller two-bagger
Harb single.
Sprinkle, who held the Detroit ii
gers and the Minneapolis teams TO
five innings each, almost without
hit, was sent in the box for the visitor
and taken out at the end of the fifth
