Jimmie Alexander occupied
prominent Pace on the mound, how
ever, and the Methodists deserve
credit for the manner in which they
pasted his offerings, although it IS
only fair to Jimmie to say that ne
was taking things easy at every

came about this way: Two men
were on bases and two men out.

in Slower hvr:;ngl his ankle in the
collision. and had to retire. The
Destroyer's infeld needs a good shak
ing up. 1t has good material but
poor handling. Cockrell proved the
big fielding star of the day, when
he came from deep left to short cen
ter and annie a spectacular catch.
snellings pulled a lot of Nick Al
trock stuff around first base.
Wood, on third base, for DIS is
demon for hunts, handling three dif
fcult ones. IIeflin at short and
Cornell at ..econd played good
game. The hitting Of Wood, Jones
and Ludlow featured for the DIS.

Whitestone and Snellings, 1st base;
Cornell, 2ni base; Helm, S.; Lane
and Wood, 3rd base; Cockrell,, IT,;
