 McMillan was at his best for the Crimsons and, although touched for six hits, kept them well scattered and pitched air-tight ball with run ners on the bags.
 The jam-up support of his team mates helped pull him out of several bad holes. In the sixth inning, with two men down and a runner on third, Captain Pitts slapped down a scorch- CT on the third base line. and recov- ering the ball, threw the runner out at first.
 Jackson, on the mound for Illinois pitched a beautiful game and al though the Crimsons scored three runs off him. two of this number were due to errors of his teammates. He allowed only four hits, two com ing in the sixth inning. which ac- counted for the only earned run.
 Happeny was the outstanding hit ter of the evening. gathering three hits in his four times at bat, one being two-bagger which drove 1T their only run.
 Alabama plays Illinois again to- morrow on the campus, and Steed will most probably do the twirling for 'Bama, and Hull for the visitors.
