tainly some rotten. The Hand Outs
handed out 10 errors. Think of it, 10
besides the numerous bones pulled
throughout the contest. and the Whit
mans made 6 misplays. The Candy
kids batted 2s6 and fielded s24, and
the Hotelers batted 25S and fielded
7l4.
Poor Freddy Blount and Poop-Up
Roach seemed utterly worn out from
the trips to Flomaton and Brewton.
on Saturday; Freddy could hardly lift
his arm over his head. At a late
stage in the game Micky Graham had
to relay a throw from Freddy to first
but the play was a little 90 tslow to
get the runner.
Jack had better keep his team at

to wi nthe games they should.
Weber Brent, oliver and Bombay
were the only Hand Outs to escape
the error column.
Billy Lurton in trying to get Wolfe
at third threw one clear to lef field.
As no one was backing third Wolfe
walked home.
Graham and Lurton got three safe
ties each Sunday. making between
them three-fourths Of their clubs
hits. Barrow also plugged out three
peaches, and almost had another on
Both pitchers were hit hard, and
these hits mixed up with errors and
bones accounted for the large score.
It is surprising that more runs were
not pushed across the dish.
Fitz was under the weather for
while Sunday. The <Hugheys show
ed very unsportsmanlike conduct in
not allowing him a runner in the
fifth.
n the fifth Weber doubled FItz off
second on Bicker's fly.
Carter made dandy good catch in
the sixth inning on Webers line drive
with bases full, and two gone. Hugh

Freddy dropped Lurton's peg: he
scored on Roach's boot.
Too bad that the rain came up and
halted the second game. Things were
just getting warm, and beth teams
were going good. A royal battle setm-
ed to be in progress.
In the third Graham. Bell and
Smilum pulled off fast double play al
the expense of Mcintosh and Elsey.
The Old Man, Bush and Grit repeated
on Borras and Roach in first half of

evidenced by the fact that Mcintosh
and Borras were the men on first, and
Elsey and Roach were batters. all
speedy men on the paths.
Chouchy got started wrong when he

on both occasions. There Is no doubt
but that Farinas is one OF the pest
pitchers in the league today. If his
manager can get him to work. He
has everything.
Couchy seemed greatly pleased
when he famed Blonde to open the
third; Harry was tickled TO death to
do this for friendships sake. Did you

Qfosthean poked a Texas Lacquer
over third in the second and tried TO
go TO third on Farinas' hit, while
Roach was scoring. but fast relay
