 Good pitching, coupled with hard hitting, gave the Alabama Power company two victories in a single afternoon, the first one being over the Preston Motor team, by a score of to 0, and the second victory be- ing hung up by a count of II to 2. over the Dri e-It- Yourself gang.
 The first same was a pitchers, bat tie between Harkins. for the Pres ton boys, and Davis for the winners. Each pitcher allowed only two hits and Harkins famed five of his op- ponents, while MT. Davis went him two better, making sewn men to take agonizing whiffs at the breeze.
 Crack In Third
 Davis started good and remained that way for four innings, not even allowing a man to get to first, but after two good innings, HarlSins and his mates together weakened, allow ing the only runs of the game. Quince Eddens, the first man up. cracked out R nice single and wsss sacrificed to second by his battery mate, Davis. Brinkselle walked. and both men scored on Loves single,
 After the unlucky third, Harkins came back to life and earth simul- taneously and was not in danger of being scored on any more during the game. The Preston team showed no signs of despair when two runs were chalked up. but promptly started fighting harder than ever and in the fifth inning would have scored when Cockerel walked, had it not been for the nice way in which Speer handled Clark's drive to center, catching Cockerel off the bag.
 In the ninth. Mickey O'Brien started out to win the game with pinch hitting, but after he had sent in four pinch hitters, one of whom delivered, and had substituted base runner. the Powermen finally re- tired the Auto makers and tucked the game safely away.
 Second Game
 The second game was not at all like the first, for instead of being duel between two slab artists. it was nice exhibition on the part of Rives,s the southpaw, who twrled for the Power team, and a frantic effort by Brand to stop the ruthlesls murder of the pill. Brand seemed to be too tired by the good game he hurled Thursday to show much stuff yester- day.
 In the first frame, Rives managed to keep any one from hitting, and Brand came out in his part of the in- ming and did not even allow any one to get to first, but Reeves seemed to have the most strength and did not weaken, with the exception of the third. when he allowed one run. Brand went out on an infield drive. but an error by Carnes allowed Wan ninger to get on and he came in on a two-bagger by Hankens.
 Brand Knocked Out
 In their half of the third, the Elec tricity makers evened the score and in the fourth they got busy and drove Brand from the box. Synder opened the inning by getting safe on an error and then the whole team went wild with every man on the team getting a chance at the bat They scored seven runs.
 In the fifth inning, Lefty Screws took the mound for the Drive-Its and managed to hold the opposition scoreless for one frame, but in the sixth hits by Carnes and Burney, coupled with numerous errors, net ted three more runs. In the seventh Kimbrough made one more run for the Drive-It- Yourself team and the final score was II to ?.
 This afternoon the Preston Mo tors company will be at home to the Drive-lts and the Electricians at 2 o'clock.
