TWO GOOD GAMES.
Confident Miss. College Team Twice
Bows 10 Red and Blue Nine To the
Tune Of IL, and 81.


Flushed by their recent victory
over the strong University OF Illinois
nine in which Edwards held Illinois
to one single, the Clinton boys ran up
against a brick wall when Ole Miss
downed them twice. Edwards was
nicked for nine cleans hits including
two doubles and a triple. Edwards
however proved himself good pitch
er although unable to Withstand the
onslaught of the Ole Miss warriors.
Barbour opened the game for Ole
Ole Miss with clean hit, only to
be caught off of first by Edwards.
Wood began the second with a triple
scoring minute later on P. Wilson's
hit. The game rocked along with
the count 10 until the seventh when
Miss. College scored her only run on
hits by Lipsey and Edwards. Ole
Miss then came in and scored four
runs when Wood was walked. Kirk
got hit and stole second, Farmer
got life ON an error and stole, E.
Wilson walked, Barbour doubled after
Carney's out, Lester got on fielder's
choice and stole second and E. Will
son flied out to end the inning. Wood,
Kirk Farmer and p. Wilson crossed
the plate in this inning. Ole Miss
scored two more for good measure
in the next inning when Kirk singled,
was out on Farmers fielder's choice,
P. Wilson was hit by the pitcher, and
Hathorn and Carney both came
through with clean singles. Carney
pitched good ball the cntire game
keeping his hits vel scattered and
the team backed him well, not an
error being charged against them.
Barbour, Kirk and Hathorn hit well
getting two singles each. Parks and
Lipsey played the best game for the
visitors. Edwards despite his defeat
was credited with ten strike outs.
Second Game.
The second game was never in
doubt although Miss. College scored
one in the first Inning on the two in
field hits and two hit batsmen. Bar
bour tied the score when his high
fly over left center was badly handled
he coming home from second on the
throW-in. Holmes steadied after the
first and Miss. College scored no
more. p. Wilson pulled a sensational
catch, when with one gone and Lee
on third he made bare handed catch
of a line drive and doubled Lee off
of third. Farmer united the count
when he hit the longest drive of the
season to right center for four bases.
Two more were added when p. Wilson
singled, Barbour singled and stole
second and came home on Testers
drive over third. Lyons still retained
his sickening smile after this round
but was sickly rather than sickening
this inning. Wood and Kirk crossed
the plate again in the sixth and re-
peated the performance in the
seventh. Holmes pitched pretty
game throughout and with the excep-
ton of the first was never in trouble.
Three errors were charged against
Ole Miss and one against the visitos.
Farmer hit like a fiend getting a
home run, double, and single in
three trips to the plate. Barbour and
P. Wilson registered two hits each
in this contest. Nolen played best
for the visitors registering three of
their six hits. Three of Miss. Col
lege's hits were infeld rollers. The

Paris, Aug. 9.-An American vic
tory at the Olympic games in Ant
werp this year is predicted by Pa
risian sporting circles.
This opinion is based on American
victories in the past as well as on
the excellence of the American
training Eystem.
So convinced are the French of the
superiority of American methods
that they have called upon Schro-
der and Mahoney, former Harvard
University coaches. to train the
French athletes who are going to
try to place the colors of France
among the Olympic winners.
Here are a few opinions of lead
ing French sportsmen in regard TO
the chances of the American ath-
letes:
Joseph Genet, director of the
French athletic union, who is or
ganizing the French participants in
the Olympic games:
IF the American competitors are
as carefully picked this year as they
were in the past, they certainly will
be the victors at the Olympic games.

yesterday afternoon he announced
that he was through as player for
