CENTRAL DEFEATS BESSEMER NINE IN
 POOR EXHIBITION Harrell Pitches Good Game For Central-Bessemer
 Makes 10 Errors
 Behind Houston

Timely hitting, combined with ragged fielding, gave Central High school an easy victory over the Bessemer High school yesterday afternoon on Munger Field by the score of 12 to 2. Although Central did not take the lead until the fifth inning, the superiority was visible throughout.
 Harrell was on the mound for Cen tral and should have held the Bessemer nine scoreless. He allowed but three hits, two of which came in the first in- ming. Bessemer scored both runs in the initial session and never threatened thereafter. Scott opened with triple to deep left. Brill walked and on the attempted double steal. Baker threw wild to the plate and Scott counted, Brill taking third. Houston scored Brill with single to left This ended Besse- mers scoring.
 Houston pitched good game for Bessemer for the first four innings. Ten errors were chalked against the Bessemer fielders, Scott and Brill lead ing the field with three each. Central scored four runs in the fifth inning on four hits, one triple, and one error, coupled with three stolen bases. Six more were added in the next session on one hit, three walks, three stolen bases and four errors. Lassiter's hit ting featured the game, together with the air-tight hurling of Harrell. The hOy score follOWS.

METHOD|STS AGAIN EASY WINNERS OVER THE HOWARD TEAM
The MethOdists Hit Martin Hard - Baptists Field POOrly-NatiOn Hurls
 Puzzling Renders

Birmingham college easily defeated Howard college in the second game of the annual series yesterday afternoon on the latter's campus by the score of 10 to l. The Methodists took the lead in the first inning and were never halted.
 Guy Nation, the star southpaw of the Pinson aggregation hurled a strong game and was given fine support AL though the only tally that the Bap- lists were able to shove across came as the result of an error the outfield- CTS gave Nation superb support and especially Goodwin, who made several fine catches Nation held the Baptists to five scattered hits one of which was for two bases.
 The Methodists continued their heavy hitting as featuring the first game and pounded Martin for 12 safe ties. Gillian. Walton and Boyd led the list with two each, while every other swat. The Methodists' big inning came in the second when they tallied four times, sewing the game up Two more were added in the fourth and three more in the eighth.
 The Baptists lone tally came in the fourth inning. Clayton walked and went to second on R. Griffin's single to left. With two down, F. Ware threw wild to first, attempting to catch R. Griffin mapping, and Clayton counted.
 Eleven of the Baptists fell victims to Nations benders, while six were given free transportation. Nation was a bit wild and did not pitch up to his regu- lar form, but got away in fine style. Martin was given ragged support, six errors being made behind him. The third game of the series will be played next week. Provided the Methodists win no further games will be played. The game will probably be played Wednesday afternoon on Munger field. If a fourth game is necessary, it will be played at Howard on Thursday.
 Other details of the game are shown in the official box score.

fortuna tely, hit into a double play and the rally wa sended.
 In addition to hits by Carroll, Der riclSs bingle and one by Grimes made up the total Errors were apportioned to Bill Lindsay, who dropped pop fly, and to Grimes, who made wild heave, two of 'em. in fact. One Of them did no damage but the other paved the way for the winning run
 It came about in the eighth inning, when Gangnier singled past third and Perkins bunted to Grimes, and all runners were safe when he threw wild to first. Thrasher laid down per- feet roller to Mcdonald and went out at first, all runners advancing bag Tommy McMillan flied out to left field and Gangnier counted. Perkins was held at second and Mayer ended the inning with his fly to Coombs.
 The damage had been done, how ever. and the Barons went out in or der in their half of the ninth.
 We know exactly how the Mobile fans felt after the seven games Bir- mineham played with the GullS. Char ley Schmidt bade Moley farewell with a sigh of relief and Birmingham will do the same to the Crackers. Before the team met the Crackers we were honing for them, which reminds Of the little story about the coon.
 Ez Johnson and his nigger Nose took Bugle, the lop-eared coonhound that hung around the plantation, spending his spare time scratching off the fleas, and went down into the big bottom one night to scare up a coon. Bugle, nothing loath, ranged ahead. and pretty soon his deep-mouthed bay told that he had treed. The two men hus- tied through the swamp by the uncer- tain illumination of the lightwood torch carried by the negro. and ar rived at length under taper1ng sweetgum tree. Two eyes looked down at the men, but it was too dark to see what manner of animal 1t was.
 The tree was mighty in girth and Ez was lazy, as was the negro, so John son told Nose to climb the tree and shake down the coon so that Bugle, who was throwing a fit every minute. could finish him. The darkey shucked off his shoes spit on his hands and went up the tree like a cat. Present. ly he got out of the zone of light.
 Ez waited impatiently on the ground below, standing first on one foot and then on the other. and pretty soon he heard the darndest commotion up in the top of the tree that he had ever heard on a coon hunt. He threw back hies head and shouted up to Nose:
 Whats the matter, Nose? Want any help to hold hin?"
 Moses voice came from a far dis tance, and it sounded like a man who was awfully busy
 Hold him h--l,' he cried. Boss, I needs some help tuh turn him loss" It was bear.

CAROLINA LEAGUE
Some Questions

From Judge.
 If, in a world of three inhabitants, two of them wore the same modes, would their styles be fashionable or would the third being more exclusive, be more fashionable than the other two?
 If it were decided taat .he two who dressed exactly alike were iess fash oinable than the exclusive third, how long would this third hold the lead in this hypothetical world if additional in- f.abitants should come and dress like the first and second? If one. two. a hundred, million people joined the first and second? at what exact number would the fashionable third cease to be fashionable and become freakish?
 On the other hand. suppose that in this world of three the two who wore like styles were considered the more fashionable. and suppose the third should die of chagrin, would fashion die with him?
 In case one of those to who were alike in style shoul die, where then would fashion be? If there were but two people extant in this world and their modes were entirely different would good taste in one decide the question of fashionableness, and fl so. which way would it decide the ques- toin?

Another one gone, and by the mar gin of a single run at that.
 Scott Perry. who took Tuesdays game from the Barons, came back and hurled another excellent contest.
 Another case of inability to hit the ball when hits meant runs. The Bar ons bingled safely but four times, and none of these were punched.
 Grimes hurled quite little game himself, charged up with but six hits.
 Grimes has started three times this year and has copped once All the breaks are going against him, and it is no use. Old Reliable's advice on this point is not so bad.
 When luck begins ter run erginst yuh," says Old Reliable, "dey ain't but one thing ter do. Jus lie rite down on yore back and say, 'Heah I is luck. What yo gwine do wid me?' Oats de onliest way I knows uh gittin' rid uh bad luck"
 All the series in the Southern league ended yesterday, and there will be a general re-alignment tomorrow. To- day there is but one contest scheduled in the league-that between Birming- ham and Atlanta at Redwood Field The series just closed has furnished number of surprises.
 One of the most astounding things IS the victory of Nashville over Memphis in three out of four starts. The Vols won the final game yesterday by the same score as Atlanta beat Birming- ham. The circuit general has been predicting that the Ellamites would crack very briefly, but as yet there has been no sign of strain. Interest ing battles will be forthcoming when the Pels and the Vols get together, and line can then be obtained on the relative strength of the two teams This event will transpire on May 12 when Ellam takes his club for a three day visit to the Crescent City. Tom Rogers put it over Kerr yesterday each twirler allowing five hits and each team making two errors.
 Molesworth made another shift yes terday, and is giving ORourke a rest, substituting Coombs in an effort to stem the Atlanta advance. It was no go, however for Cecil was unable to connect safely single time. Charlie Carroll was shifted to right field to take O'Rourke's place, and secured 50 per cent of the hits apportioned the Barons. This was two. Carroll's single brought in the only run gath cred by the Barons, which came in the second inning.
 Lindsay stung a scorcher to Gang nier and was safe when the second baseman fumbled and then threw poorly. Derrick singled to left and Charlie poked one to center, and Bill galloped across. Mike Hauser. un-

Little Rock, April 27-Five of Chat tanooga's six hits drove in runs to- day and enabled the Lookouts to de- feat Little Rock in the final game of the series to 3. Jacobson's double to- day gave the Little Rock outfielder a record of at least one hit in each of 13 consecutive games, while Kirby failed to hit safely today for the first time in the same number of games.
 Jantzen, former Little Rock player who joined the Chattanooga team, to- day got a single and scored twice in three times at bat. He also accepted eight chances in the field without an error Score:

Games Today Atlanta at Birmingham.

Atlanta, April 27.-(Special.)- )-The Crackers made a clean sweep of the series with the Barons by winning to- days game ? to 1. The game was the fastest of the season, both sides work ing fast and machine-like in the field, handling many hard hit balls in clean style.
 Scott Perry, the Crackers big right handler, who hurled the opening game of the series, was sent back against the Barons today and hurled an even better game than on his first time out. He held the Barons to four hits and but for an error by Gangnier, would have had a shut out.
 Grimes hurled for the Barons and allowed six hits. His own error paved the way for the winning run by the Crackers in the eighth inning.
 A great stop near first base by Danny Clark and fine running catch in cen- ter field by Mayer were the features of the game.
 The Barons counted in the second in ming. With one gone, Lindsay hit to Gangnier, who booted. Singles by Der rick and Carroll sent Lindsay across the plate. A fast double play on Hauser killed the Barons chances for further scoring. After that they were never dangerous.
 The Crackers tied it in their half of the fifth Lennox led off with single, was sacrificed by Munch and Perkins counted him with a smash to left Per- k1ns was killed at second trying to take the keystone on the throw in. Gangnier opened the Crackers eighth by smashing one through Mcdonald for hit. Perry bunted and Grimes, with time to spare, heaved bad to second and both men were safe. Thrasher ad- vanced them a bag and McMillan sent in what proved to be the winning run With long fly to left field.
 The teams left for Birmingham to- night. Red Day will probably face Dick Robertson there tomorrow.
