something about baseball that has an

assimilated by the Mexicans.

the Americans and Gen. Funston put a
stop to 1t. 1t doesn't give the bull a fair
show"

STANDING OF CLUBS
(By L. J. Leavy.)

Brunswick, Ca, July 29.-(Special)
-Four hits in the fifth inning, after
Pratt had travelled four frames in hit
less style, resulted in two runs and
gave the Pilots the first of the series
from Americas 2 to 0. Hartner and
Pratt staged a pretty pitchers duel,
but the southpaw had the better Of
the argument.
The game was the fastest that has
ever been played on the local diamond
and the fans were jubilant over the
outcome. The largest crowd since OPP
ening day saw the fun and rooted TO-
Otto and his crew. Lefty Hartner
pitched the game of his carer, striking
out sewn men and giving up but three
hits. Two of these bingles were of
the scratch variety.
Melford Pratt started out strong for
Americas and really pitched credit
able game. His work in the first four
frames was even better than Hartner's

The game was fast and exciting and

NEW FIRST SACKER

Slim Chambers, six foot three first
baseman who winters in Mobile, is
due in Americas today and will pro-

class in Fridays game. Chambers is
some ball player, according to Dead

his style of playing.
Chambers is a rangy chap who has
been playing semi-pro ball around the

Seventeen more games stand be-
tween the Muckalees and the end of
the second half. Eight of the games
will be played away from home and
nine will be staged on the home lot.
Away from home we have one more
with Brunswick, three with Valdosta,
two with Cordele, and two with Thorn
asville. At home we have two with
Thomasville, three with Cordele, two
with Brunswick, and two with Way
cross. With Cordele and Brunswick
barking at our heels, it is going to
take some tall playing to win this old
second half. But what it takes Dave
has it corralled away. That club as
it stands is mighty hard to beat, ac-
cording to our notion.

but the fifth inning was too much for
MIN. With the bases full and one down

Gross, with two strikes and three balls,
poked out two-bagger that broke up
the game.
Otto Jordan on second pulled off
several spectacular catches that helped
Hartner win his game. The crafty
Dutchman was in the game every min
ute and seemingly enjoyed winning
from the league leaders as much as
the most rabid fan.
