OLE MISS BESTS
VANDY TWICE
WE'RE EXCITING GAMES,
Swami Batted From Box In Second
Inning. Carney and Holmes Pitch
Great Games.

Great Games.
Vanderbilt was met and conquered
in two games Of base ball in "Her
own back Yard" The Vandy men
were full Of confidence and before
the game predicted freely that the
game would be a walk-away for
them. They also made fun of the
diminutive size Of the Ole Miss nine.
But things took on different air in
the second inning of the game. The
mighty Swami (for Vandy says he's
mighty was lucky to have lasted the
first round out. Carney got clean
hit scoring two runs for Ole Miss in
the second. Then with two on in the
third and two men gone En- Farm
er poled a liner to the right field
bleachers for a home run. Swami
was taken out and Latham took up
the pitching duties and did well un-
til the lucky seventh when a base on
balls and four successive hits gave
Ole Miss a trio of runs. Vandy
didn't earn a run, her only one COM
ing when Kirk attempted to head
man at third. Carney pitched
wonderful game and kept his hits well
scattered. Farmer, Kirke, Wood, P.
Wilson and Carney all hit well get
ting two bingles each.
The Second Game.
D. w. Holmes was tossing 'em for
Ole Miss in the second tilt, and Cavet /
speedy pitcher was burning them
over for Vandy. Berryhill : for Van
dy dropped Texas Lacquer over
second and scored on Hendricks |
two base drive. Ole Miss threatened
to score in the first when Barbour
struck out, Lester singled, was fore
ed at second by E. Wilson'S ground
or, and E. Wilson was hit by Woods
grounder for the third out. Vandy
scored again in the fourth when Kuhn
walked, stole second and scored on
Tyner's hit. Vandy's last run came
in the fifth when Cavet hit scream
er between Farmer and Barbour for
two bases, Barbour's quick throwing
holding him there. Luton hit hot
one to Lester who tented to second,
running Cavet back to that bag and
throwing out Luton at first. Cavet
started for third again and E. Will
son trying to head him off by a quick
throw heaved the ball over both
Lester and Wood, Cavet scoring be-
fore Farmer in left could get the
ball. The game then rocked along
for two more innings with neither
side scoring. Then came the lucky
seventh, the luckiest one surely that !
Ole Miss has had in many year.
p. Wilson first man up for Ole Miss
was hit by pitched ball. Hathorn
hit to the short stop who trying to
force Wilson at second threw to CEN
ter field P. Wilson scoring and Ha-
thorn being held at second. Holmes
hit hot one to second and was
thrown out, Hathorn going to third
on the play. Barbour was hit by
the pitcher and stole on the first
ball pitched. Lester grounded to
Cavet who ran Hathom back to
third and threw out Lester at first.
e. Wilson singled scoring Hathorn
and putting Barbour on third. Will
SON stole second on the first ball
pitched and Wood hit the next one
for clean single scoring Barbour
and E. Wilson. Wood was caught
of first minute later for the third
out. Vandy had two men on in
every inning after this but could
not succeed in scoring again. Farmer
made pretty catch of Luton's
drive for the third out in the ninth.
Holmes pitched a good game, several
Of Vandy's ten hits being flukly ones.
Ole Miss had men on the bases in
every inning but couldn't score until
the seventh. Kirk, P. Wilson, E. f
Wilson, and Wood got two hits each
in this game. The box scores:
