HOT RALLY IN
EIGHTH WINS
FOR JACKETS
Mississippi College Gives Heis-
mans Squad Fierce Battle.
Brooks Hit Hard by Tech,
BY j. w. Heisman.


aggregation Of ball tossers at
Grant Field yesterday afternoon, and
came pretty close to coping the con-
test. They felded very well and
played good inside bail While not
overly strong, their lifting was new
ertheless timely.
The Yellow Jackets also felded
cleverly and pulled off some extra
good base running, but the latter
awaited them little for a long time,
as the batters were not hitting in the
pinohes. Langston, pitching for 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 Thompson's
squeeze bunt.
IN their half of the second, Tech
went them one better, when, with
one out, Pound fell heir to first base
after four spoiled ones, took second
on a balk by Langston and third en-
Johnsons fielders choice, Johnson
meanwhile negotiating first and
promptly stealing second. Edgar
Montague lifted q sacrifice fly to cen
ter and Pound registered. Hill fol-
lowed with hit through short and
johnson scored.
Mississippi evened the count in the
fifth by Thompson drawing a walk
taking second on Bryants compli-
mentary return of Langston's balk,
and after Turner had struck out,
Thompson took third on Langstons
infield 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
Secretary Bryans demeanor when he
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
Lipsey got mad again and yanked

body hitting hard enough to make
cracker match blaze.
HOWEVER, something had to be

bat for Bryant He made good in
great style 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

Montague tailed Burr then put The
stamp of his approval on another OF
Brooks offerings by tryin" 1t in cen-
ter where 1t landed without mishap,

with the fourth and last run Of the
game when Pound drove sacrifice

a good team and has been rested
