SNAPPERS TAKE THE LAST GAME FROM
THE PURITANS BY THE SCORE OF 4 TO
GOOD SIZED CROWD WITNESSED
THE LAST GAME, IN WHICH
PENSACOLA EASILY oUTcLAss-
ED SELMA.

Before another large crowd the
snappers gave the Selma Puritans an
other boost toward the bottom of the
percentage column yesterday, taking
the game by a score Of 4 to 1.
The visitors sent in LuhrSen, re-
puted to be their best twtrler, the
same gent 1t will be remembered that
put us on the blink in the opening
game. but revenge is sweet and he
certainly got his yesterday.
Saturday was ladies day" and as
was expected, Manager Hamilton named
Benin to do the firing for the home
squad. Pretty soon the fans will be
clubbing him Ladies' Day Benn," as
he seems to be the selection for every
ladies' say, but If he works as good as
he did yesterday 1t would probably be
a wise move 20 save him for these oc-
caSionS.
The big fellow was certainly right,
and Selma did hot have chance, their
only score cominS from bobble by
Manager Hamilton, low throw to
first, in the eighth.
The Snappers did not get a man on
until the fourth, when they hung up
their first marker. Jewell opened with
a single to right and stole second.
Hamilton, trying to bunt, popped UP q
little foul and Miller lined out to GEN.
ter but Berger came through with the
necessary swat, a single to right, upon
which Jewell rode home. Berger took
second when Overton let w. Cowan's
throw get by him but was nailed when
he tried to take third on the misp-ay.
Pensacola got a man as far as third
in the fifth session and in the sixth
added a couple of more tallies. Benn
inaugurated the inning by drawing
pass the first that Luhrsen gave.
Jewell sacrificed him along and Ham
ilton's single to left took him to third.
Miller slapped a single to center, reg
istering the pitcher and sending the
manager to third. Miller promptly
stole. Berger hit a. hard grounder to
Spratt who caught Hamilton at the
plate on a close decision, Miller NOV
ing to third. Berger started for sec
ond on the first pitched ball and when
Holtz made the throw Miller crossed
with the second tally. Some runner,
that Miller McGill breezed for the
last out.
Pensacola made her last run in the
seventh. After Kirby had flied out to
left Harris singled to the same terri
tory and stole second. Hauser lifted
to right and Cowan and Mayes coll
.1ded in trying for the catch. Cowan
hung to the pill, however, and Harris,
seeing the n1ix-up. scored all the way
from second before the dazed fielders
could recover their bearings. Benn was
winged and Jewell drew a pass. Benin
worked a delayed steal on Holtz and
on the next pitched ball Jewell pilfered
second, both being left when Hamil-
toms long fly to center was captured
by Mayes.
