Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1914-04-04

MI sented a mighty nice-loobing
aggregation of ball tossers at
Grant Field yesterday afternoon, and
came pretty close to coping the con-
test. They fieded very well and
played good inside ball While not
overly strong, their sitting was new
ertheless timely,
The yellow Jackets also felded
eleverly and pulled off some extra
good base running, but the latter
avaied them little for a long time,
as the batters were not hitting in the
visitors, did not seem to have -
much on his ball, but, though the
Jackets were not striking out, neither
were they hitting safely.
In the first half of the second,
Brooks, for Mississippi, hit safety
through pitcher, went TO second on a
passed ball, to third on Jamison s
sacrifice and scored on Thompsons
squeeze bunt.
IN their half of the second, Tech
went them one better, when, with
pne out. Pound fell heir to first base
after four spoiled ones, took second
ON a balk by Langston and third On
Johnsons fielder's choice, Johnson
meanwhile negotiating first and
promptly stealing second. Edgar
Montague lifted a sacrifice fly to CEN
ter and Pound registered. Hill fol-
lowed with a hit through short and
johnson scored.
Mississippi evened the count in the
fifth by Thompson drawing a walk
taking second on Bryant's compli
mentary return Of LangstOn's balk
and after Turner had struck out
Thompson took third on Langston g
infeld out at first From third he
tailed without veXation when Lipsey
hit safely to right field.
THINGS rocked along with no more
excitement than may be seen in
hears of another batch Of Anglo
Saxons having been used by Villa to
test out the driving force of good
American ammunition. Then after
two were down, this cheeky chap
Iipsey got mad again and yanked a
safe one to, left. AS clubs were
trump, Cupid followed suit to right
field LipseY going to third. Here
Rethea rolled a slow one to Hill, who
had been playing tiD-top baseball in
all departments up to that time, and
the latter drew Burr slightly off first
with the throw leaving Bethea safe,
and Mississippi scoring two runs.
1t looked exceedingly dismal for
the Jackets, with only two more in
ninss to 90, two runs behind and no
body hitting hard enough to make
cracker match blaze
HOWEVER, something had to be
done; so Holland was put in TO
bat for Bryant He made good in
great stvle by walking on four bad
ones. Then Malone introduced him
self to the umpire as the performer
who would attempt to perform in
Wootens place. He slashed out a
fierce single to right, whereupon
Coach Bible decided that this looked
like pretty dangerous lot Of new
batters that We're being rung in on
him So he called in his star slab
man Brooks, from right field one
Smith-or another going to right
Tyler Montague liked the way Brooks
pitched and punched out a clean one
10 left field, on which Holland scored
and Malone went to third, Tyler TAX
ing second on the throw in Wither-
.nstOn, next up, also approved of the
promptly picked one to right for two
bags. on which both Malone and
Montague tailed Burr then put the
stamp of his approval on another Of
Brooks offerings by tryin" 1t in CEN
Ter. where II landed without mishap
Witherington landing on third stimuli
taneously. From here he came in
with the fourth and last run Of the
game when Pound drove a sacrifice
fiy to right field.
EUBANK went in the box for Tech
l. in the ninth in place OF Bryant,
and retired the side with no further
need of Tech men scoWling.
To-day Pitts viii fling for Tech
and Brooks will start the game for
Mississippi, Despite the fact that
Tech jumped on him yesterday when
he went into the box cold, Brooks will
be a much harder man to beat than
was Langston Brooks is the same
man who struck out twenty Alabama
men on last Wednesday, giving them
but two hits As he is supported by
a good team ana has been rested
since Wednesday, the chance are that
Tech may find herself on the small
end Of the count when the days do
ings are summed mp.
THERE were few hard chances in
the game for either side, out
every man played jam up bali,
Brooks hitting hard and fielding nice
~ for Mississippi Bryant also field
ed his position we'll for Tech. Each
team made but one error while Tech
secured Il total Of seven hits with
