they found little difficulty I'm winding
up with the score to in their favor
Starting out with Kiddy. a young
southpaw, opposing Gillett on the
mound, the Seventh players put up a
cleancut brand of BALI the majority Of
their errors being due to the rOughness
Of the field and the glaring sun.
GiIIett Driven From Mound.
Gillett held them safely during the
earlier part of his work on the mound
but was compelled to retreat in the
third, when a succession Of singing
base hits caused the smoky Fisher to be
called from the bench, while Gillett was
sent in to save for another day Paul
also did good work. as did Adams, who
was sent in TO pitch the final inning for
the soldier organization.
With more practice, the Seventh
should be right among the cOntenders
for the initial position. as it is said
that they have a couple more good
pitchers who can be relied upon for
steady work in the future. The Every
bOdys, with Gillett in condition and
Fisher working steadily. are also in
line, and judging from present indica-
tons there is rough shedding and good
baseball ahead for the remaining clubs
OF the snappy little circuit.
The box score follows:

"pASEBALL FANS" request for
- information regarding the dates
of organization of the Southern asso-
citation and the Texas league was
overlooked Saturday. Reach's Guide
shows Nashville to have won the
first pennant in the Southern in the
season of 1901 while Austin is down
as the first pennant-winner in the
Texas league in 1907.
FRED FULTON has been signed
for a ten-round bout in New
York, April %, with Al Reich, the
first of the three bouts intended to
lead Fulton up to a title bout. So
far the New York papers are content
to write about Fulton's size. They
are waiting to be shown his boxing
ability.
CHARLES DOLL, who was well

couple of years ago as trainer, says
he will soon Join the FL PasO fire

KRACKS AND CLERKS
AFTERNOON WINNERS
BY bud" RUTHERFORD

In face Of some flying spikes and a
cloud Of dust, catcher Red" Longmyer
dropped the ball at the most critical
moment of the first game, Sunday af-
ternoon, and Lampkin. the tall left
fielder Of the Kracka jacks. slid safely
over the rubber for the winning tally,
and incidentally sent the hopes of the
Puritys aglimmering for a temporary
berth in the first division. Ordinarily
Red" would have handled the throw
from Buchanan in an accurate fashion,
as he received the ball seteral feet
ahead Of the runner, but as he ducked
down to touch the flying player the
ball slipped from his grasp As it
of TO in favor Of the Krackajacks.
Also II wound up one of the best and
cleanest fought affairs that have been
witnessed out at the McCloskcy sta
inaugurated several weeks ago. Little
shorty Weiss and Soldier Lucas
met on the mound and II was n good
battle in spite Of the fact that the for
mer was nicked for 10 hits by the hard
ware BOYS, and Lucas touched for only
eight Some Of the scoring can be at
tributed to the failure OF the Puritys to
back up their little twirler at critical
moments, the final decision at the plate
being an excellent example. All in all,
they played a good, clean game all
around.
eKracks, score Winning Run.
About this winning Tun-it came ar
ter seven and one-half innings Of
closely contested ball. and at a time
when 1t seemed as If Weiss had tight
ened up and was back to old form. After
Campbell had struck out. Lampltin was
safe when Milan muffed his slow
grounder. Newton Gallagher came
along with a timely poke to right, and
Lampkin beat tt around TO third He
scored second later when Buchanan
took Polcyn's grounder and pegged to
LOnEmyer, who was unable to hold it.
Red had his man ny several feet, but
when the sand cleared the Jumps" was
seen holding his hands in downward
position. while the husky backstop was
retrieving the ball several feet away.
Campbell CIOutE Triple.
In the first inning the Krackajacks
got away with the first run. when
Andy" Anderson singled to left. and
Campbell followed with a long three
Dagger to left center. Two more were
added in the third when successive hits
were made by Lucas, WOOllen and An
dersOn. The fourth tally in the fifth
stanza was the result OF a base on
balls an error by Weiss and a hit. The
history Of the fifth score has already
been given.
The PUritys got their first two in
the fifth, when Longmyer and Weiss
scored on Milan's twobase knock to
center. Richie Filleman made a homer
in the sixth. while Longmyer got
around again in the seventh. tieing
