TEAM AT
HOME FOR SIX GAMES
WILL MEET GREENWOOD TODAY
Grounds Have Been Put in Thor
ough Repair and Interesting
Contests arc Promised
Each Day

After having spent week on
the road the Columbus base ball
team will open a six days engage
ment at Lake Park this after
noon. playing three games with
Greenwood and three with Meri-
dian.
During the time that the team
has beeu on the road laborers
have been busy at the park and
many improvements have been
made. The grand stand and
bleechers have been put in
thorough repair. The old hath
house has been fixed up and con-
siderable work has been done on
the grounds. both the diamond
and out field having been put in
good shape. The matter of put
ting in wire service has been
taken up with the Western Union
Telegraph Company and special
wires will probably be run to the
grounds, thus enabling reports
of the game to be quickly sent
not only to the business district
Of this city but to all cities
throughout the circuit.
Great crowds are expected to
attend all of the six games which
are to be played here. Friday
will be ladies' day and members
OF the fair sex will be admitted
free to the game that afternoon.
The local association has issued
a circular letter in which they
earnestly request local rooters
not to abuse or vilify the umpire
or members of the visiting teams.
Such a practice not only works a
hardship upon those who are
abused but detracts from the in
terest Of the game. Come out
and root ali you like but refrain
from saying anything that will
prove offensive to any person
connected with the game.

THE COLUMBUS TEAM
PLAYS IN HARD LUCK
LOST FOUR STUAI6HT GAMES
Smiths Boys Met With Defeat
on the Road, but are Expect
ed to do Better at Home
Next Six Games

The same hoodOo that has pur
sued the Columbus baseball team
ever since the franchise was Sc
cured from Hattiesburg was ap-
parent at Yazoo City. the aggre-
CATION having lost all four of the
games played there Monday.
Tuesday and Wednesday.
The score in the opening game
Monday afternoon was 6 to 3.
and in the double header on
Tuesday 5 to 2 in the first game
and 6 to 4 in the second. while
the result yesterday afternoon
was 4 to 3. Columbus started
out in fine shape yesterday after
noon. having made three scores
in the first inning. but the home
team caught up with her. and
made the winning score in the
eighth inning.
The loss of the four games to
Yazoo City is largely due to the
fact that the Columbus team is
in a crippled condition. 1t was
necessary for Manager Smith to
shift the players about from
place to place, and pitchers were
worked at several positions on
the infeld.

bits of nerve and courage in the

ner, while Poole pitching a win
ming game all the way. his team
five runs for him in the
first inning, likewise frightened
up when the enemy threatened
and showed wonderful effec-
tiyeness for a youth just out
from the college ranks. Payne
pitched we'll at times and better
at all times than the score of the
opening game would indicate.
The crippled condition of the
team at that time would demor-
ilize any pitcher, ard under the
conditions he did remarkably
well.
