BOMBAY PITCHES SUPERB BALL BUTTS
GIVEN POOREST KIND OF HELP BY CLUB
Locals Should Have Won Game by of of
ing to 2-Turnbulrs Throwing Featured Baseball

There was much to condemn in yes
terday's ball game which Brewton won
! by the score of to 2, but with all
the errors made by the locals there
was action galore in the contest and
the Ryanites turned in some excellent
baseball to offset the bad which they
| spilled. In other words. the game
was about like hfe-a mixture of good
and evil about evenly balanced Boni-
fay pitched really superb game, hold
ing the visitors to five scratch hits,
every one of which was in the infield
Waters, who was selected to do
Brewton's bit, also turned in a very
satisfactory game, striking out seven
batsmen. Waters was much steadier
than Bombay and gave but one walk
Each pitcher hit a man.
Brewton has one of the neatest ball
clubs that has been here this season.
The visitors infield was almost bullet
proof yesterday and the outfield could
| scarcely be improved upon. Townsend.
the Brewton catcher, is death on foul
flies and the entire ball club stacks up
as a clean cut bunch of real sports
men.
Red Smith appeared to be the chief
participant in the errorstocracy, mess
ing up four plays out of 10. He
started well but in the fourth inning
pulled three successive fumbles and
bad throws. which coupled with an
error by McMurray in throwing a ball
low to Craddock, allowed two runs and
cost the game.
Craddock's work at first Is extreme
ly doubtful. He handles the ball we'll
in the air and hits better than most
any other man on the team but seems
entirely crippled when it comes to
taking a bounder. Several of the err
rors chall1ed up against Smith and the
one against McMurray should have
been "outs.'' In the sixth inning after
three Were on Moseley bounded a fast
one to Sanchez who threw to Turn
bull forcing Roger at the plate. Turn
bull then pegged to first in plenty of
time to complete a double play but
Craddock muffed the throw.
Turnbulls work was the outstanding
feature of the defensive play. In the
first inning Moseley walked. Hunter
scratched a hit to Smith. Turnbull
pegged to Smith, catching Moseley off
second and Smiths throw to San
chez cut him down. Hunter took
Scarritt's out. An instant later was
caught off third on a delayed throw
to short and was out, Turnbuu to
Smith to Turnbull to Sanchez.
In the second Martin was caught
stealing. Turnbull to Smith, and in the
fifth, with Mose1ey on third, and Hunt
er on second Fish flied to Geist. Char.
lie pegged home to late to stop Nose
- IT. ~ A.
Sanchez, who threw to Nc Murray and.
, Hunter was caught in the run-out.
TurnbulIs play on the attempted
double which Craddock spoiled has
been related.
Pensacola's two runs came over in
the second. Sanchez was called out
at first on a decision which looked to
be plainly in error. Smith grounded
to the box and was almost safe, his
driving almost knocking Waters down
Ryan was hit by a pitched ball Bon
ifay singled TO left center. Craddock
singled to right and aRyan = scored.
McMurray was safe on MoseIey's FUN
bic and bad throw, Bombay scoring.
The fourth was the fatal one for
the locals. Scarritt grounded to
McMurray. Fish was safe on Smiths
bad throw. Townsend grounded to
McMurray who started a pretty double
play but Smith dropped the toss when
he was too anxious to complete the
play to first. Roger flied to Villar who
held the runners on their bags. Martin
grounded to Smith who made another
error, jarnrning the sacks. Jones
grounded to McMurray, whose throw
to frs was low and Fish scored.
Waters grounded out to Sanchez.
Brewton won the game in the fifth.
Moseley was safe on Craddock's error.
Hunter walked. Bombay failed to field
Scarritt's bunt and the bases were
full. Fish then flied to left and Nose
ley scored on the throw-in. This end
ed the run getting for the game.
Pensacola had men on base in every
inning except the fourth and ninth but
after the second frame lacked the
necessary punch to drive them over.
The game was janmed full of action
and the fans were we'll satisfied with
everything except the work at short
and first.
According to the dope, Jack Ryan
will twirl today's game and it is
understood that Nielsen will be sent in
against him. The game should be in
teresting, especially since there are
liable TO be a pair of new faces on
the infeld.
