In the third Cordele pushed her on

and two of her four hits.
In the next frame Americas again
got busy and registered another two

ards pinch hit for two bags. Two

blazing mansion and the outfeld and

catches. Two one hand stabs, one al

enough to bring forth the applause of
the Baby fans. Bankston, for Cordele,
in right made one catch that was ev-

over by Colby. In going after the ball,

Bankston left his feet and went

Georgia State League.

A downpour of rain in the sixth
broke us a slaughter yesterday and
saved Fillengems reputation from be-
ing badly damaged. At the time Jup-
tier Pluv put the kibosh on the game
the Muckalees were leading to 1
and were hammering the silvia sport
at will.
Melford Pratt worked for the Muck
alees and the Alabama lawyer was too
much for the Babies; Mel had it all
over Fillengem, and at no time did
Gordele have a look-in. Four hits are
credited to the followers of Rip, but
two of these were of the fukiest va
riety and came as the result of the
generosity of the scorer.
Americas started the big doing in
the second when Salome Ellis poled
one to deep left for two sacks. Bill
Bales was equal to the task and rap
ped out double to right that scored
Salome.
