Andalusia defeated Pensacola IL to 6
yesterday afternoon in ball game which
had the rottenest finish of any game
ever seen at Maxent Park, barring none.
In the last frame, Bell, who had gotten
by good for one inning after relieving
Ryan, blew up higher than the prober-

Kirke Williams bad decision had given
Norton life. Hartman then hoped on
a straight one and lifted it over the left
centerfield fence for a home run, clean
ing the bases and giving the visitors their
only earned runs OF the game.
After this fiasco, Bell continued his as
cension and before the session ended the
visitors had made eight runs. The last
three were gifts pure and simple, Ellis
and McMurray allowing easy grounders
to go for hits. 1t was about as useless
an exhibition as has ever been seen and
was especially unfortunate in the case of
McMurray who had taken 10 chances per-
fectly before that.
Not an earned run was made off Ryan
but three errors by Ellis, pair by Geist
and two passed balls had given the Wis
itors their four runs. Geist has long
wanted chance to prove himself real
catcher and he got 1t yesterday.
Andalusia scored in the first on Ellis
error, Richardson's scratch single and
Lassiter's sacrifice. In the second the
visitors scored again on Creers walk,
passed ball and Geist's error, coupled with
Norton's sacrifice.
The fourth resulted in two more runs
for Andalusia. Ellis booted Lassiter's
drive. Shirling doubled to center, scoring
