S nOpS DEFEAT
RAIL MILL 6 TO 5

The several hundred enthusiastic fans
who attended the practice game at
Parks Field yesterday afternoon be-
tween the Shops and the Rail Mill
teams furnished a striking evidence
that the Steel League is as necessary
to Pueblo's baseball existence as a ball
and glove would be to a pitcher.
The Mechanical men took the con-
test by one run, the score standing
s to 5 at the close of the fifth inning.
when the game was called by Umpire
Morcau because of the heavy rain
storm.
The stamp of approval was given
Pitcher Spiess by the fans after seeing
his performance against, the veteran
southpaw Fritz Erickson. Nine of the
Rail Mill battcrs went out on strikes
during tho short contest. the entire
side being retired on twelve pitched
balls by Spiess in the fourth inning.
Fritz Erickson. the Railmakers' port
slider did not seem to extend himself
holding in reserve his fast bah and
from appearances not in the best of
form
The Rail Mill secured a three run lead
over their rivals in the second frame
only to lose this advantage when the
Shops sent four runs across the plate
in their half of this inning. Both teams
scored in the third and final inning hut
the one score lead gained by the Shops
players in the second proved too great
a lead to overcome.

TITLE OF ALABAMA
Lenoir's Team Has Not Been
Defeated This Year and
Claims Title

Fayette, November 25.-(Special.)-
The Fayette County High school foot
ball eleven continued their winning
Thursday afternoon by defeating the
Birmingham Southern scrubs in a
one-sided battle, AZ to 0. The Pan
Their scrubs put up a fighting brand
of football, but were unable to fathom
the shifts and fake plays of the Fay
cite team Coach Bob" Rowe of the
Panther scrubs stated after the game
that Mullie Lenoir had the best
coached team and the best high school
aggregation that he had seen on the
gridron this season, and Coach BOD
has seen Central, Simpson, Walker
County, Marshall County and many
others.
The Fayette team has had won
derfully great year and to be counted
out of the state championship running
merely because Walker County. re-
fuses to meet them seems unfair. the
record of the Fayette team for the
season is just as impressive as wal
ker's with such teams as the Hamil-
ton Aggies and Birmingham-South
scrubs hanging to their belts. The
Fayette team has had absolutely no
trouble in any of her games this sea
son in winning them and has piled
up huge scores.
willing to Meet Walker
Fayette is willing to meet Walker
at any time to decide the state cham
pionship, but is unwilling to concede
the premier honors to her without
playing them. If Walker Is not try
ing to dodge Fayette, why doesn't she
come across and offer to play her?
Coach Lenoir has not team OF
brilliant stars here this year, but a
team that works with machine-liko
precision and one that has swept over
her opponents with regularity so far
this season. Not an Alabama high
school team has been able to offer re-
sistance enough to even interest the
local boys this season, and Fayette is
confident that If Walker County will
agree to meet her that she will more
than interest her. 1t is all up to
Walker now. Fayette is willing and
anxious for 4 post-season game with
the state championship claimants from
Jasper
The stars of the Fayette eleven this
year have been Wick. Newton, Propst
and Hammer. altho Ugh the entire team
works In perfect harmony. Coach
Mullle Lenoir had very little expert
! enced material to start the season
with, but has developed a well-oiled
attack and a stonewall defense.
