DUPLICATE PERFORMANCE OF
FRIDAY BY TAKING BOTH ENDS
OF A DOUBLE BILL, GUDGER's
PITCHING FEATURING.

For the second time in two days
Pensacola took both ends Of a double
header from the Selma Puritans, taxi
ing the first contest by a score Of 8
to 2, while in the second home talent
g3rnered two and the opposition got
nothing. Benn and Gudger were used
in the order named and both pitched
nice ball, Gudger in particular show
ing up fine, giving up but one hit, a
single by Johnson in the first round,
while he did not issue a pass or hit
a patsman.
Luhrsen, for Selma, pitched both
games and while beaten in both con-
tests, nevertheless he loo twirled nice
hall. Errors by his team mates in
the first melee were largely respon-
siole for his defeat, but in the second
he had no one to blame but himself,
three punched hits doing the damage.
The Snappers were first to draw
blood. Jewell opened the third in
ming with a clean single over second
base. and Benn advanced him with
r;e6t sacrifice, Miller ambled. Hamil-
ton hit to the infield and the sphere,
taking a wicked bound, jumped over
Spratt's dome, and Jewell scored, but
Miller was snuffed out trying for
third. Harris hit to Spratt who heaved
high over Vasterling's bean and Ham
ilton counted. McGill quelled further
proceedings, going out pitcher to first.
Selma came right back and tied it
up. With two gone, HoltZ hit to
Jewell, who fumbled and the runner
was safe. Spratt singled to left and
McGill let the sphere 60 between his
props Holtz scoring and Spratt talk
ing third while he was chasing it to
the fence. Cowan's single made the
count two all. Mueller drew a pass,
but Walker breezed going after two
bad ones and then letting a good one
split the pan.
In Pensacola's half Of this inning,
Berger, first up, walked and took sec
ond on a short passed ball. The de-
cision was close but from the stands
it looked like the umpire called it
eighty. This greatly peeved Holtz,
who from his position at third base,
kept after the umpire, and that
worthy, thinking that Holtz's oratory
could be used to better advantage
pastime. and to donate ten dollars to
the league for improper use of the
English language. Mr.. Holtz then be-
came greatly enraged and it looked
as if he was going to devour the di-
minutive umpire but that gentleman
took it very calmly, while several Of
the Selma players were endeavoring to
cool off the angry Mr.. Holtz. TWO
burly policemen arrived on the scene
about this time, which dampened his
erdor and ne was escorted from the
battlefield without further ado. Vas
terling went to third base Walker
taking his place at first and Baker
took Walkers place in right. Kirby
hit to Luhrsen who killed Berger at
third and Hauser knocked into
double play, Walker to Spratt
The Snappers made the winning
marker in the sixth, Hamilton looked
over four bad ones and walked Harris
sacrificed. McGill beat out an infie1d
hit over second which Cowan furnbled
and Jimmy scored. McGill was caught
stealing and Berger flied to left.
The visitors had a fine chance to
tie 1t up in the seventh, but bone
beaded base running killed it off.
Cowan opened with a drive to left,
good for two bases, but when he tried
for three, was easily plucked, Miller
to Hamilton. Muller Whitfield and
Walker ended the game with a roller
to Harris.
The Second Game.
Selma got the only hit that they
shook out Of Gudger's system in the
first inning Of the second ARRAY when |
with one down. Johnson hit to left. |
ond, where he died when Holtz who
had contributed the little donation re-
quested of him in the first game, |
breezed. The contribution had a
-quieting effect on said player for he
was exceedingly docile for the re-
mainder OF the entertainment
Pensacola did nothing Of moment in |
her half of the first, but they did |
business in the second. McGill flied to |
left for the first out. Berger. how
ever, came through with a drive to left |

I'm the fourth. when with one out |
Mastering took second on JEWELS bad |
throw of his grounder, went to third |

the sixth. but was caught at third |
on Berger's grounder to Holtz.
