Selma, June 19.-(Special)--J and elation prevails in the circle of fandom here tonight for Selma won the first half championship of the Southeastern league season this afternoon when the club defeated Anniston by the score or 3 to l. The game was hotly contest ed by both of the clubs and was w.t. messed by about 2oo0 enthusiastic fans that made some noise.
 Lelivelt, the former mound artist or Montgomery Southern league club, dla the hurling for the visitors, while Ad- ans worked effectively for the local club. The only feature of the game was a circus catch by Vasterling on line drive over second by Holt in the fifth inning. To hold the ball the big second baseman of the Selma club had to turn over and stand on his head and roll over, but the pill never touched the soil throughout the remainder of the game.
 vasterling was greeted by great out bursts of applause as he came and went from the field and to the bat.
 Anniston's Only Run
 The single run which the Anniston club maQG was or the odIncu NdAiclJ and was counted in the fifth inning. After Winston was out Wasem doubled to left and scored on McDuff's deep single to right. After that Anniston had men on the bases several times and in tn seventh Wasem was thrown out by Nelson at the plate In the pinches Adams was effective and did not give up hits, and after the lone run the locals frightened up and played the game perfectly.
 Selma Scores
 Selma made her first score in the second Vasterling reached first on McDuff's error After Sparks pop fly Nelson beat out a bunt while Lelivelt hit Gutierrez. With the bases filled, Vas tcrling counted on Adams sacrifice fly to Winston.
 In the fifth Selma made the winning runs Gandolfi opened the inning and was walked by Lelivelt. Herman beat out a bunt, while Chastant got to first on error by Lelivelt Hanna got to first when Gandolfi went out at the plate Vasterling hit sacrifice fly to Eubanks and Herman crossed the plate on the throw in by. Eubanks. The ball hit Chastant, who was coming home on the knee and bounded under the erandstand. Hanna crossed the plate, but was sent back to third by Williams.
