VISITORS WIN
SUNDAY GAME
NATALRANY DEFEATED PENsA-
COLA TO o, The ONE RUN
BEING SCORED ON eRAHAM's
ERROR.

IN one Of the most intensely inter
esAing and exciting games ever seen
inNthis city, Natalbany broke Pensa-
cola's winning streak Sunday after
noon, taking the final game Of the Sc
ries by a 1 to 0 score. The defeat is
directly chargeable to Graham, who let
q dinl1y little roller trickle through his
paws with a man on third and two out
in the fourth. Outside Of this costly
bobble, Pensacola played a swell field
ing game, the only other error being
wild throw by Roach in an endeavor
to complete a double play.
Charlie Fritz Of the New Orleans
Southern league club, twirled for the
visitors and while hit rather freely
always managed to tighten up in the
pinches, being simply unhittable when
hits meant runs. Kelly was the home
teams dependence and he pitched a
beautiful game, getting out of several
bad holes. He was a little unsteady
In the opening innings but soon set
tied down and was going great guns"
for the balance of the contest.
The Game.
Pantal opened the ARRAY with Il
clean single to right center. Tucker
hit to Graham, the ball taRip~ a bad
bound and going over his shoulder,
second. With men on second and third
and no one out, the general aspect was
about as black as "A. BIS" counte-
nance, but Kelly put on the screws,
struck out Guess and Stapleton and
caused Bankston to hit q gentle roller
to Sanchez, who retired him at first.
Is In Pensacola's half, Graham walked
and was caught off first, and this, as
subsequent events proved, cost Pen
sacola the game. Roach singled over
second and Folmer burned a single
past first and had Graham been on he
3would have certainly scored. Hauser
hit to short and was retired with Fol-
mer on a fast double play.
Pensacola heaved away another
chance to score in the third. Harris
inaugurated the inning by beating out
swing bunt." Kelly, trying to sac
rife, dumped a nice bunt down the
first base line, which Fritz ielded and
threw toward first, the ball getting
away from Guess, Harris going to
third and Kelly to secnd. With men
on second and third, none gone, and
the heavy end up, prospects for
tally or two were exceedingly bright,
but the best Graham could do was a
little pop to the first baseman; Roach
nit to the pitcher and F'olmer ended
the act, going out second to first.
In the fourth BankstOn was easy.

From this time on, the game was as
full OF excitement as the neighbor's
dog, on hot night, is full of banks.
Pepsacola got two men on with two

r1sl hit nothing but the wind, retiring
the side. Business picked up again in
the sixth, but again the necessary bin
gle was not forthcoming. Folmer
opened with a sharp roller to third,
which that gent heaved high to first,
drawing Guess off the bag, Folmer
being safe. Hauser ballooned to ce-
ter but Sanchez singled over short and
Folmer pulled up at third, Sanchez
going to second on the play on Fol

went out, second to first, and another
excellent opportunity was gone a glim-
