PROFESSIONAL men PROVED BETTER
BALL PLAYERS THAN BUSINESS men;
SCORE II TO 5 FAVOR OF THE FORMER

Much "beefng," many errors, and
desultory playing characterized the
game played yesterday between the
professional and the business men at
the local ball park, the entire exhibi-
ton being strictly an amateur af
fair.
Emmett Mccall did the twirling for
the business men and Bloom as catch
er completed the battery. w. w.
Chase received the offerings at the
initial sack. Bill King starred on sec
ond; his snappy manner of handling
the ball being one of the features of
the game. The infeld lineup was
completed with Dick Hare at short
and Wallace higgins on third. The
outer garden was manned by Tai
madge Haynes at left and Frank San
ford, right, while w. Merrill orna-
mented center.
Ralph Merrill illuminated" the box
for the professional men and was
supported by that veteran amateur,
Virgil McRae, who dealt out his quota
OF cheering remarks between each
service with his Old-time style. H. G.
Pettteway killed the joy Of the bats
man at first, but if wild throw land
ed on the off side of his nit, Doc Ran

midablc gauntlet of short and third,
with Virgil ready to put 1t on him
at the triangle. The former two posi-
tions were held by Arnold Armistead
and "ninky' Turner, respectively, the
latter getting under everything that
came his way and some that didn't In
a manner that effectively cut down
the score of the opposing team. Eu-
gene Edwards capered in and out Of
the LEFT field according to his fancy,
while Clyde Trammell proved at least
a marker for center, nothing much
coming his way during the game. j.
c. Rogers at right simply marked
time.
The entire game was played to 9
SLOW drag one or two of the play
ers on each side playing really goot
ball but neither of the pitchers
showed any big league stuff and th'
bingies were sprinkled chiefly owe

bolng around in the palmettoes while
the Boy Scouts, for whose benefit all
This energy was expended, chased
frenzedly around in an attempt to st.
up at least one that the game might
proceed.
The rooters We're rather noted by
their absence but those who did wit
ness the game enjoyed it, each of the
local teams coming in for the usual
kidding and all of the lineup got "a
good word" from theim friedns.. Typ
ical Of this good-natured raillery was
the .s;b from some well-meaning friend
TO DR.. Rannells when in the furry
os making third with the basemen S
eve on him. his stocking stole Just as
rurrieIly to the top of his shoe, that
he ought to get the girls to teach
him how to roll EN-
The only person in the game who
seemed to have positive opinion
about anything was his jumps, Mr.. w.
H. OFT, who dealt out the decisions
in accents not to be denied and as no
one took umbrage over any Of his Of
ficial remarks, he came out entirely
unframed and altogether, which de-
notes the rare good humor which was
displayed throughout the entire ex-
himtion. Mr.. Norvell had the rather
trying job of making the base de-
cisions and, despite the clouds OF dust
that the runners rolled up in their
attempt to Kelly to the bases, he
called them safe or out, according to
the proper etiquette for such deli
cate situations.
When the fracas was over, the
score board showed total OF eleven
to six in favor Of the professional
men, the T. B. M. having lost out
somewhere in the course of the game
but nobody on either side seemed to
have had any money on the affair
so there was no blood spilled yer the
final outcome.
The amount realized from this
game Is to be donated to the Boy
Scouts fund.
