SOUTHERN BELL AND WEST WOODLAND
 SPLIT DOUBLE BILL
City League Championship Undecided-BOth Games Prove Fast and
 Aggressive

In two of the snappiest, fastest and
 ever staged in the Birmingham district
 the Southern Bell and the West Wood
 lawn teams broke even in a double header
 at Redwood park yesterday afternoon. In the first inning of the first game Southern Bell put one over the rubber and the West Woodlawnites duplicated the performance in the second inning.
 The game was pitchers battle between Cox and Nelson until the ninth inning, | when a couple of errors and a two-bag- ger by Southern Bell gave them four runs, which won the game. The final score was to 2. Cox for Southern Bell held the subur- | banites down to hits, while Nelson only gave up two bingles.
 In the second game Propst had a va riety of curves but could not hold the 1 suburbanites down, and they hit him fre- quently.
 Nelson Hurls Well l Nelson pitched F innings for West | Woodlawn and the Southern Bell boys 1 could not locate him at all in the second game. His work attracted the attention of some big league scouts and he will prob ably get an offer from some of the South l ern league teams. | The long running catch of Frank Black l in deep center made the fans come to their feet. 1t was sensational in the ex- | treme.
 1 Brunner's catching for the Woodawn boys was excellent and his begging to | second was perfect.

It was hair rais- l ing catch behind second. l Home Run Features Lewis Cooper's home run in the last inning of the last game featured the oc- | casion and was pronounced one of the longest hits made this season. He is an
