MONTGOMERY
IS DEFEATED IN
A FAST GAME
PENSACOLA VIcToRs IN ONE OF
THE BEST GAMES EVER WIT.
MESSED AT MAxENT PARK
SCORE 1 TO 0.

In one Of the prettiest games ever
witnessed at Maxent Park Pensacola
again defeated Montgomery yesterday
by score Of l to 0. The game was
cleanly played, only one error being
chalked up in the entire nine innings.
Ihat being a momentary tumble by
Smlth IN the sixth inning. Both CIapp,
for the visitors, and Harris, of the
locals, pitched mastery ball, yielding
TOUR and i've hits, respectively, but
both were slightly wild, Clapp giving
four and Harris three passes. Clapp
retired six batsmen on strikes while
Harris turned back thirteen.
With the score standing nothing to
nit, Folmer opened PensacoIa's half of
the ninth by strolling. Hauser popped
q dinky little hit over first and Folmer
went to second. Gordon, after trying
unsuccessfully to bunt, popped up a
foul which the catcher gathered in but
Grifhn's out, second to first, advanced
both runners and it was then up to
Haley. He responded to the appeals
of the fans by driving a single over
second and the game was over.
Montgomery started out strong and
had several opportunities to score
throughout the contest but the neces-
sary hit was not forthcoming. In the
third period Clapp, first up, ambled
and Smith sacrificed him along. Brown
hit to left and Clapp went to third,
Brown stealing second on the first ball.
With men on second and third and one
gone, things looked prosperous for the
visitors but Shelkosky was disposed Of
from Graham to Griffin and Jones ac-
commodatingly whitfield. Brown inau-
gurated the sixth by walking and went
to second on Shelllosky's clean hit to
left. Jones walked, filling the bases,
but our old pal Weber showed that
he was with the home team by strik-
ing out. Right here Jones helped the
cause along by a piece of diamond
studded ivory topped base running, al
lowing himself to be caught in a chase
between first and second, finally forcing
Brown off third, he being caught off
and run down, Roach to Hauser. Boy
kin flew out to Haley ending the in
ming. Again in the seventh with one
down Bickerstaff and Clapp drew
passes and Smith singled but Brown
popped to Roach and Shelkoslxy dinzy-
dinked to Gordon. After this, how
ever. not a man reached first.
Roach, for Pensacola, got as far as
second in the first round on his hit and
Foimer's sacrifice, but the locals did
not get a man to the midway station
again until the sixth when Harris was
forced him, but Graham stole second,
only to be left when Roach famed
and Folmer popped to Weber.
The eighth opened most auspicious-
ly and a score seemed certain. San
chez, frst up, walked and went all the
way to third on a passed ball which
the catcher walked after, evidently
thinking he was playing ball in the
Twilight league. Harris, however, went
out, short to first, Graham struck out
and Roach hit a long fly TO right which
Ziegler pulled down after a long run.
The details of the final inning, in
which the big doings happened, have
been narrated above. The features
were Clapp's and Harris's pitching
Zeigler's catch of Roachs long fly and
Smiths stop and throw of Folmer's
scorcher in the fourth Score:
