Locals Make it Two Out of Republic
Stars-This Weekend VIII See Fast Mobile Club
in Action Maxent

Pensacola finished the series with
the Cubans by winning yesterdays
game at Brewton 6 to 5. making
fine ninth inning finish. The locals
were better than at any time during
the series and showed excellent base
ball for the edification of the Brewton
fans. A good bunch of Pensacola
rooters showed up in Brewton for the
game and added to the pleasure of the
afternoon. Most of the Brewton fans
were pulling for the Cubans to win
and when Frog Turner closed the mat
inee with the screeching single which
scored Sanchez with the winning run
there were some sad hearts and light
pockets in the Brewton stand.
Hicky Brown started on the mound
for Pensacola and twiried nice ball
for six innings. The first five frames
were gravy and only two men reached
first. One of these was on a pass and
the other an error by Sanchez. In
the sixth Hiclxy was touched for four
hits. but fine fielding by Sticks Villar
held the runs to one lone counter.
Hicky then frightened up and famed
the next two men and forced the next
to hit to the box, the play resulting
in a force-out at the plate.
The seventh was Hicky's undoing.
With two out Ferrer hit safely and
stole. Lopez walked and Alphonzo
drew a scratch hit to first, filing the
sacks. Rodriguez then was hit on the
sleeve and Ferrer was forced in. Lu-
joins long double to center field scored
the other three runners, tying the
score. Sneed relieved Eicky and
famed the next batter.
The Cubans We're repulsed without
trouble in the eighth and ninth, only
one man getting on base. Lefty ap-
peared to have more stuff than he has
ever shown at home and he did nice
work while on the mound.
Pensacola scored once in the first.
With two outs Sticks drew a walk and
on the it-and-run scored from first
on Gaines fine double to left field.
Ham was stranded when Scarritt flied
to Leon.
In the second Showers opened with
a double to left and was sent to third
on Turnbulps perfect bunt down the
first base line. Sanchez and Showers
worked the squeeze play and sanchez
was almost safe at first. Brown flied
to third.

third. Osborn grounded out, the play
being close at the initial sack. Tur-
ner doubled to left. Villar flied to
| second. Gaines then singled just over
second and Turner scored. Scarritt
doubled to right and Ham held up at
third. Showers then lifted the apple
for a two-sack ride into left field,
scoring Scarritt and Gaines. Turn
bull closed the excitement by ground
ing to second.
The next five innings were without
profit, although men We're on in three
of the frames, getting as far as third
twice. The ninth was opened with a
walk to Sanchez. Sneed flied to third
Wentworth singled to right and San
chez went to third, coming in and
closing the game when Turner singled
to left.
Tomorrow afternoon the locals will
open three game engagement with
the Creamdales, a Mobile club. This
organization has been in Pensacola be-
fore but since those sad days five new
men have been added to the club and
the team is much stronger than it was
before. Two of the three Mobile
pitchers are good and will give the
locals a real battle. The Crearndales
have promised to bring a third good
twirler with them and if they do all
three games will be fine exhibitions.
