probably would have remarked, There

probably would have forgotten the
whole affair. But. such little matters
- York striking out 20 Georgians and
Martin stealing four bases, no doubt
would have fingered in his memory.
OUts1de Of those little matters.
fAe Seventh Z. S. infantry ball club
defeated a group of Fifth GeOr-

Except 70 see the 1916 champion
seventh team In action, there wasn't
much TO the Sunday game of pastim-
tag. The Georgians didn't have q
ghost OF q show and didn't have a
angle real opportunity to cross the

eighth errors handed out BY the
DouthernerS served 10 make the
Seventh club hustle. But-the hustlinS

was apparent that some Of the Geor-
gia players thought the hook arm
pitcher was throwing a smallpox ball
for they ventured TO swing, and that
was about all In fact. H Brazemore
insisted on stepping away from the
ball every time he swung. He might ]
just as well have shut his eyes and
stuck his bat out.
Martin, playing shOrtstOp for the
regulars. staged n bOner by drop
ping fielder's choice. but he re-
deemed himself n moment later by
starting a double play. In the

The appearance OF Three fingered :
Beck on the mound for Georgia didn't
make any material difference with the
Seventh players for they counted with J

Ike any human umpire would. but
outside Of that he made the game
5nappy. He called the game at $3.50
o'clock. as per schedule, and he didn't
allow any pranks.
