VISITORS SHOWED SPIRIT IN
THE INITIAL ROUNDS, BUT LOST
I THEIR GINGER WHEN ERRORS
AND BASE HITS CAME IN cLUs.
TIERS.

The Snappers tucked another safe
ly away and increased their already
long lead in the pennant race, when
they defeated Clarksdale yesterday
afternoon to 8 with that ridiculous
ease that is acquired only after be-
coming accustomed to being always on
the right side. The visitors showed
spirit and some ability in the initial
innings but this faded away as the
Snappers began playing the game ac-
mess of Mr. Kraft the Swamp Angels
scared upward in the fourth frame
and when they were pulled down i've
Snappers footprints had been left on
the home plate. AS for the features,
angular Braun drew some hand claps
from home fans when he ducked under
the awning and stuck his meat hooks
into Kirby's foul pop. and McGill was
given the glad hand when he went
back to the fence and speared Krafts
drive that left the bat looking good
for the circuit.
Gudger was sent to the firing line by
Hamilton. The big fellows splitter
worked nicely after the second round,
ard although hit frequently the raps
into safe territory were SO scattered
that they did no damage. Kraft, who
draws salary for pitching, at which he
is no novice, and who also has quite
number of base hits in his system,
took up the burden of pitching the
swamp Angels to victory. While he
failed in his undertaking he twirled a
very creditable game, one that will win
seven out Of ten times with any kind
of support.
The visitors drew first blood and
gave the impression that the Samplers
had stacked UP against a real ball
club. Braun started the second ses-
sion with a two base clout to right.
Braun was tagged at third when Ber-
ger came in for a bunt, and ran into
Kings rap towards first, King land
ing safe. Cherubic Hansen tore off
a screamer to right and King pulled up
at third. Peddy placed a single to-
right field territory and King and
Hansen spiked the plate. Needles and
Russell were easy outs.
The visitors took what they thought
was strange hold on the game in the
third, when they rang up another. At
ter Swan and Bernsen had been re-
tired, Kraft hit to left for a sack and
when he saw McGill's return coming
in slowly hot-footed 1t for second, and
scored a moment later on Kings single
to right. Gudger added more moist
urs to the ball and during the re-
mAining six innings only twenty one
meh faced fhin, and three Of these got |
on through errors.
The Snappers opened up a package |
IN the fourth and served out the lag |
niappe In the eighth. Miller, first up |
hit safe to left, and took second when |
Swan fooled Berger's grounder down
the third base line, Berger spilxing the
initial cushion. Both advanced on
McGilPs poke to center, and Miller and
Berger counted when Hauser hit for
a brace to center. Harris went out, |
Kraft to Hansen, but King got his
hands and feet mixed up when Kirby |
raped one at him and McGill and
Hauser counted. Gudger, seeing how
easy King was shot a hot one to his |
territory and the Swamp Angel man |
ager foudled the pill long enough for
Kirby to dent the home plate. Jewell |
sacrificed Gudger to second, but Ham |
ilton went out King to Hansen, end |
ing the session.
Two more were showed across in the
eighth. Hauser uncorked another two
base hit to right center, and Harris |
raped one over Needless head in |
center that retted three sacks and |
scored Hauser. Kirby drew four wide |
ones and took second on Gudger's sac |
rifice, King to Hansen. on which Har- |
ris counted. Kirby was caught at sec |
ond when Kraft tossed JEWELS hit to /
Bernstein. Jewell went to second on 1
Hamilton's safe poke to right, Mr.. |
Hansen failing to make any attempt at |
tagging it. Miller ended the inning |
sd game by flying out to left.
Umpire Thompson worked for the /
first time in Pensacola and was an
over Umpire Cusack, who /
could not see good and Umpire Hail. /
whose optics roved over the lands |
scape instead Of following the pill.
