SCOTTS BEAUTIES WINNERS

Anniston July 6.-(Special)-T Camp Mcclellan utilities team returned to the cantonment Saturday afternoon after a victorious trip to Gadsden. at which place they walked over the strong Albertville aggregation, taking away from the Sand mountain tossers all of their claims to the designation of undefeated champions of the state.

The Georgia star gave up only two measley little hits dur ing the Friday game. and gave the moun- taineers a taste of real high life when they essayed to connect with the hot ones he sent over into the big mitt of Jones, the hardy catcher, who eats 'em up alive.
 The Albertville players met the Gads- den players on the morning of the Fourth and landed on them to 10 to victory. The turning Of the tables in the after noon game by a score of to was likened by the local players to the un- pected and sensational defeat of Jess Willard by Jack Dempsey. who counted not the 40 pounds difference in weight and took the belt away fro mthe big cowboy.
 The camp team expected to play sec- ond game with the Albertville bunch on the Gadsden field Saturday afternoon, but rain caused postponement of the game. The local players left the Queen City at noon, came home and rested up for the hot game Sunday afternoon between the car works team and the soldier play CTS on the base hospital diamond Sun day afternoon.
