Good Ball for Ole Miss.

Ole Miss rounded her fifteenth and
her sixteenth straight victories last
Friday and Saturday when the Nor
NAL College aggregation came up
from Hattiesburg and were defeated
to the tunes of 8 to and 16 to z.
The Normal lads are the heaviest
bunch of hitters that have played or
the local diamond this year and 1t
seemed for a while Friday as if Ole
Miss W, uld be defeated for the first
time. However the Ole Miss willow
weilders came back and demonstrate
ed that they had the art of hitting
down to a fine point also.
Ole Miss scored one run in the first
when e. Wilson got single and
stole second conf 6 home on Kinks
single,
The third happened to be the Teach
ers' lucky inning for it was in this
frame that they scored their six runs
and four of their five hits. From
then on they did not have but one
more chance to score for they went
down in one, two, three order. Mont
gomery, started the riot by getting
single but Wood threw him out at
home. O'Mara, Busby, w. T., and
Anderson. got the other three hits
and O'Mara, the three Busby broth
ers, Shirley and McCrary crossed the
rubber for the scores.
Ole Miss came back in the third,
with a determination to tie the score
if possible. However only three men,
Lester. E. Wilson and Wood scored.
Ole Miss had her lucky, and unlucky
inning in the fifth when P. Wilson
Murphy, Carney and Barbour scor-
ed.
It was in the fifth when one of
the saddest and most keenly felt &C
cidents that has happened on the Ole
Miss field in a good long while hap
pened. Lester in attempting to slide
home had the misfortune to hit OPP
O'Mara's shin guards and break his
left leg little above the ankle. He
will be sorely missed in the infield,
for third basemen like him do not
grow on trees and it will be hard to
find one his equal.
This sad accident seemed to take
the pep out of the players on both
sides as neither side seemed to play
the same ball after the accident.
The second game was veritable
walk away for Ole Miss. Our play
ers seemed to run wild on the bases
and it was an almost certainty that
if one ever got on first he would
certainly cross the plate. The Teach
ers' again showed that they were well
drilled in the art of using the willow
but our boys seemed to always to be
right under the ball when it start
cd downwards.
The visitors scored in the first when
Montgomery singled stole second and
scored on O'Mara's single. OMara
singled, went to second on Farmers
error and scored on w. z. Busby's
two-bagger.
This settled their scoring for the
day, altho they received 6 scattered
hits throughout the rest of the
game.
Ole Miss batted around in the first.
Barbour, Hathorn, E. Wilson, Wood
and Kirke scoring. Eight men faced
Montgomery in the second frame
and again Barbour, Hathorn and
Wood crossed the rubber. Holmes
got a single on the first ball thrown
in the third and Barbour followed
with home run scoring Holmes.
Hathorn and Wood again scored for
Ole Miss. Wood, Kirke and Farmer
scored in the fifth and E. Wilson
wound up the scoring in the sixth.
The Ole Miss team played better
ball the second game than the first,
supporting the pitcher better thru
out the game. Parks played good
game at first getting three Dagger
and a single and getting 10 putouts.
Farmer and Barbour handled their
chances we'll.
The heavy smuggling Of the visitors
was their side of the features with
Montgomery's work at short and
with the willow the individual fea-
ture. "Chick" Anderson at first and
"Op" O'Mara behind the bat also
played good ball. "Op" received
hearty welcome from his former
schoolmates altho he is Coach and
manager of the baseball team. He
is also Professor Of Hygiene at M.
