DISCOVERIES HELPLESS BEFORE
HIM, ONE LONE BiNGLE REPRE-
SEHrING THEIR SWATTING Eff
FORTS, AND ONLY TWENTY
EIGHT MEN FACED HIM.

Again did Omar Benn, who might
rightfully be possessed Of the nick
name. The Great" prove his right
to the title of A. No. 1 twirler yeSter-
trimmed the thoroughly bewildered
and disappointed DISCOVERIES to the
easy and passionate waltz time Of
to 0, thus crushing their high alut-
ing ambition to win another game
from the Snappers. Aiding and abet-
humiliating the crew from the banks
Of the Tombigbee were the entire
Snapper outfit and the game abounded
in plays of the 18-karet variety.
The sum total Of Columbus's hit
ting was represented by one measly
bingle in the sixth frame and therefore
there was no wholesale scampering of
visiting oXfords to the home plate. But
one pass did the stingy heavy dole
out to the eXpectant MissiSsipplans,
and the way he frightened when the oc-
casiop demanded was n sight for the
gods. Only two aliens reached first
base and nary a footprint did they
make at the keystone station.
Only twenty eight men faced Big
Benn in the nine innings of pastimfng,
which is some record in these parts,
as we'll as other localities. The extra
man up got there by reason of pass
issued to Poole in the third frame.
In the eighth stanza Graham nipped
on the lone D1ngle LOT the FlSlloFS anu
he was choked off, along with Lups-
ford, when the latter raped a siz-
zIer at Benn, who doubled up Graham
with the aid of Jewell and Berger.
With these two exceptions the Dis
coverers just went up - bat turned
around and sat right down again.
Not so with the Snappers. Poole
assumed the kopje labors for the Wis
itors and the local swatsmiths fell
upon his offerings with freedom and
giee. Miller fiimf1ammed a walk out
of the tWirlers system, Hamilton sent
a cutter through second and Harris,
who has been described by one lady
poet as the "cutest of them ALL" burnt
the leather almost off the old pellet
when he slammed it to right center for
three hassocks.
It's a feast or famine with Hene
Berger. He either beats the stuffing
out of the ball or the oZ0r@ ont of the
atmosphere and he selected do the
former, Harris counting on his stiff
drive to center. Heine picked up his
frame and moved it around to the third
corner when the distracted Mr.. Poole
heaved a wild one to the grand stand,

and a moment later he took his &C
customed seat on the bench when
Hauser rammed a sacrifice almost
down the throat of little Tune pranc-
ing around the difficult station. Mike
made a gallant effort to beat the throw,
but he was never known to tear off
any marathon records, and was out
by a lash. The inning ended when
In the fifth frame the Snappers
knocked up five in a jiffy, and made
the day memora BILE for Poole. Every
finger turned to a thumb and where
the visitors failed to tally up errors
Of commission they did Of omission.
Harris preferred anbling to hitting so
drew four wide ones. Berger, wanted
to fatten up his batting average, and
he clipped off a one base coupon. kir-
by took free passage and the bases
groaned momentarily, for it was only
a moment before Hauser hit one where
they aint, and Harris and Berger
counted, Kirby pulling up at third from
which he scored when Utter let one
get away from him. Hauser going to
second. Gudger was safe when Kuhn
fondled the pill, Hauser taking third.
Jewell was tossed out, but Hauser
counted and Gudger moved up on
Benn's sacrifice, pitcher to first, and
Gudger denied the home plate when
Graham booted Miilers drive. Hamil-
ton whitfield and the game was over.
There were some more hits several
more errors, and some stolen bases,
but no more scoring.

INFIELDER WINKLEMAN ARRIVES
FROM CHICAGO-cOLUM RE-
MAINS IN PENSACOLA FOR AN
OTHER GAME.

InfeIder Winkleman, recently signed
ND by the Snappers, arrived in the city
Yesterday afternoon, coming from Chi
cago on a hurry up call from Manager
hamilton when the latter had to let
McGill go to Mobile. The new in
fielder has been playing semi-profes-
sional ball around Chicago for a couple
or more years and is rated as a fast
fielder and good sticker.
The new man possibly will be in the
game this afternoon. The SnapperS
have arranged to play Columbus IAN
other game as neither team is sched-
uled for either today or tomorrow. To-
morrow's game has not yet been ar
ranged, but there is a possibility that
the DISCOVERIES will remain over.
