PANTHERS DEFEAT
MARION CADETS IN
THEIR LAST GAME
BY NJ. e. BAKER

In the second and last of the Biz
mingham Southern Marion series
played yesterday the Painters again
triumphed. the score being 4 to 1. The
Cadets secured one more hit than the
Panthers, but seemed unable to- get
their hits when they were needed most
On the other hand the Panthers seemed
to have the necessary knack of bunch :
ing their hits and walks along with
the Cadets errors and making them
count for runs.
Lockhart also contributed to his ow
downfall through his wildness. How
ever, it may be said that it is no fault
Off a certain Mr. Soule that the Pan
theirs were the winners. This young
person, not content with fielding his
position perfectly, smacked out two
doubles and triple out of four trips
to the pan, his total hits amounted to
exactly half of all the Cadets secured
Oliver Madison and Argo were re-
sponosible for the other Cadet hits and
all fielded their positions we'll, Argo
also scoring the Cadets only run
NO OUTSTANDING STAR
For the Painters no outstanding
stars were apparent. Stuart at first
handled IL chances without an error.
The other Stewart at second had five
assists and two putouts. Green also
fielded WE'LL while Propst maintained
his batting average with one hit out
of one trial. The whole team seemed
to have the happy knack of fielding
best in the pinches and hitting when
hits meant runs. Golson whitfield five
of the Cadets, while Lockhart and Day
caused six Panthers to fan the ozone,
SOULE TRIPLES
In the first Soule led off for the
Marionites with a triple. He incau-
tiously ventured off third and was
tagged out, Green working the time
worn and ancient hidden ball trick
upon him. In the Panthers' first Nor
ton grounded out Stewart lived
through Mattisons bad throw. Griffin
walked and both runners advanced a
bag on a wild pitch. Stewart scores
on Suffers out and Rowe flied out to
center. In the third Argo for Marion
reached first on an error; stole second
and scored on Soules doubt. This
ended the Cadets scoring for the day,
although they had aseverai chances
thereafter.
Y
reached second when Grenade muffed
bis fly. Green singled and Rowe was
thrown out at the plate while Green
was caught at second trying to stretch
his hit into double.
PAINTERS SCORE
In the fifth Stuart went to second on
Jellicotse's error and Lewis walked.
Golson flied out to right, bus Norton
hit triple down the third base line
scoring Stuart and Lewis. Norton
scored a moment later on stewart
out at first.
This completed the Panthers' scoring
for the day. Griffin singled and stole
second in the sixth but was left there
In the seventh Argo doubled, but the
punch was lacking and he died on
base Soule did likewise in the eighth
and suffered a similar fate. In the
ninth the Cadets went out in order,
Golson causing them either to pop
weakly or ground out.
A number of Painters hit the ball
hard during the game, but the Cadet
outer gardeners were on the job and
always gathered them in. This game
completes the series here. The Pan
| theirs will probably go to Marion for a
| return series sometimes during the
| spring Score.
