 Bessemer and Selma did the big hearted stunt yesterday. each taking half of the bill, Selma the first by a score of to 1 and Bessemer rhe second l to 0. The first was superp exhibition until the eighth innins' when the Bessemer youngsters. with out that divine essence of experience bobbled, booted and erred while the Sel- mans swatted hard and timely. scoring six runs.
 The second was as pretty pitch CTS battle as was ever seen. Ed Fry and Rufus Molly pitched splendidiy' each allowing but five hits, while the latter compelled eight batsmen 10 whiff the ozone at his sprinkled slants' In fact, Molly seemed to have every thing. His slow splitter" worked we'll while the fast splitter" worked better. Fry, who is yet a youngster, pitched wonderful ball. In several instances with men on base. he retired the siae by a strike out or an easy fly. He allowed but four clean hits.

The Second Contest

With Rufus Molly, former Southern leaguer, on the mound for the cham pions, Bessemer had hard time find ing him. He seemed to possess every thing, while Fry was as twin brother. The elongated lad pitched in fine style and with great confidence. In the fifth inning the first man up doubled, but failed to score, as the next three men were easy outs. In several innings bats men reached third, but failed to score.
 The lone tally in the second game was scored in the sixth inning. After Heck had lined out to center field Bumgard- ner singled to center. Walker hit sharp single to left field, which took bad hop and went through Manager Stick ney's pedals. Bobby scored. While Walker iwent to second. After that Selma threat ened to tally but Fry frightened up and won a victory.
 Molly was not in the best humor pos sible. After the game he saw that he could not get the better of Bessemer and decided that he would best or beat something else. A large water bucket was the victim of his temper and now it lies bent, battered and broken.
 The other details of the games are re- corded in the

Two Splendid Games

Before 122 paid spectators both clubs put up neat exhibition in the first. Until the eighth inning, which was an inning more than the game was sched- uled to go, but one run had been scored by either side. Adams struck out lO batsmen during the game and walked but one man. He had wonderful speed while Williams was in fine form until the eighth, when he weakened, together with the fielders, and Bessemer lost.
 The game was a tic until this ses- sion. Selma started off with run in the first session, by Chastant's double and two sacrifices. Then the locals tied up the game in the fourth by Bumgardner's single, Walkers sacrifice, Cochran's sin gle and Adams error The slaughter. however, came in the eighth, when five errors and four hits brought home six men.

There has long been a feeling that

The feeling took concrete shape

Latin America, too, was the area
over which his discoveries were ex-
tended. for 1t is a fact that he had
no knowledge Of the existence Of the

and at one time in despair had ap-

him in his great ambition, but his

Perhaps on this account the name
Of Columbus Is incorporated more
prominently in tho nomenclature Of

with which he was held from the be-
