i KVKR1TT OUT IN SECOND HOUND
OVER AUBURN
In a splendidly played game of
baseball the Auburn “Tigers” turned
on the Itulldogs Friday afternoon
and administered the first defeat in
twelve games. The official count was
2 to 0. The tale of the Red and
Rlack’s defeat may be told in a few
words: The visitors bunched their
bingles and the losers did not. Grant,
on the hilltop for the Donahoo clan,
yielded six hits, the lUilldogs be
ing able to get more than one In
an inning only one time, and then
good fielding held down a tally.
WINNERS FIELD FAUL/T-
I.ESSLY.
The Orange and Ulue played error
less bal. Auburn earned one of her
runs in the third. Pitcher Grant
tripled with one down. When
Richardson hit a measly roller to
Pantone, the Auburn hurler set out
for home. Hesitating when half way,
and then stepping on the gas, he wa c
an easy victim at the plate. This
same Richardson scored all the way
from first a moment later when
.1. D.- Thomason, Bulldog right-field
er threw wild and bigorously to
third to head him off, the ball going
through Hutcheson and his backer-
up.
The Plainsmen scored another in
the sixth, when with two down,
Knowles doubled and tallied on "Big
Ed" Shirling's smash which bounced
off of George Dark's glove. Thus It
is that errors by the Georgia out
field contributed largely to the Au
burn victory.
A PITCHER'S RATTLE.
The game was a hurler’s battle.
Neither moundsman passed a man to
first. Both were touched for six
bingles. and appeared to be as strong
at the end as they were when they
first started on the hill.
The heavy-hitting Bulldogs never
sent a man as far as third base,
seemingly having a very infrequent
off-day with the willow. The most
serious Red and Black scoring bid
came in the eighth. Boney singled |
cleanly to start the inning. Pat j
Powers lined a vicious one to Rich- j
ardson. who. be it explained, was a j
troublesome man for the Red and
Black cause all afternoon.
Cliff Pantone slapped a single, and
“IJig Sam" ambled to second. With I
the entire local populace calling for |
oije nioe little binge, Cody and Cark |
striving valiantly to knot the count, j
went out on pops to third and pitch
er respectively.
In the other frames Grant judi
ciously allowed one hit per inning, j
and the crowd in the stands waited '
expectantly for the break to occur
in the Auburn defense, but the break
has not come until this moment. The |
“Tigers” of the Plains absolutely re-
fralned to get the least bit unsteady,
and it soon became evident that only [
clean hits would win the ball game. I
Slack and Smith Lose Semi-finals
Doubles Match to Tech Pair,
6 3, 6-1, 6 2.
The University of Georgia tennis
1 team journeyed to Atlanta Thursday
to represent the school in the an
nual S. I. A. A. tennis meet. The
singles matches were handled by
Collings and Ecverett, while the
doubles team was composed of Boy
kin Smith and Charles Slack. All
survived the first day’s play.
In the first round Collings defeat
ed Klock of the University of Flori
da, without much opposition, the
score being 6-3, 6-4. His opponent
in the second round, Merritt of Mer
cer, was even easier. Dave won his
match handily, 6-2, 6-3. Everett
was eliminated in the second round
by Murray of Tulane University.
The score of this match was 6-2, 6-2.
In the semi-final round Collings was
defeated by Blake of Tech in an in
teresting match. Although Dave was
considerably off his game, the play
was much closer than the score might
indicate. Blake won in two sets,
6-3, 6-1.
Slack and Smith met the Tech
team composed of Blake and Wil
liamson. This was a three set
match, as it was in the semi-final
round. The Tech pair -finally tri
umphed, 6-3, 6-1, 6-2.
Five matches were played by the
team; two of these were victories
and three were defeats. The schools
represented in the tourney were
Georgia, Mercer, Tech, Oglethorpe,
Tulane, and Florida.
GAME DEVOID OF FEATURES.
The melee was devoid of hear-rais-
ing features. We might cite Shirling
and Scott, for the former not only
played a great game around short
but with the latter, drove in the two
"Tiger" tallies. The work of Rich
ardson around second was worthy of
exceptional comment. He was the
defensive star of the game. He rob
bed Pat Powers of a hit, and cavort
ed himself in such a seintilating man
ner that his presence in Athens as
a baseball opponent is henceforth
undesirable.
Boney and Pantone were the only
“Bulldogs" to find the delivery of
Grant easy. They each secured two
safeties.

Watson was then called upon to
explain the manner of the deceased's
departure. An attempted burlesque
of the report of the game assigned
the death to the murderous blud
geonings of Allen. Thomason and
Clark, then being held for homicide
by the Clarke County officials.
Then followed the mourners'
march. A lugubrious procession of
students encircled the rude coffin
and emitted highly professional

The Bulldog nine left at 7.25 this
morning for Macon, where Josh
Cody’s Baptist nine will be met In
the final liraco of clashes for the Red
and Black this season. -Cliff Pantone
is slated to work the first game for
the Georgians, with Jack Frost tak
ing the hill Saturday.
Opposed to l’antone will probably
bo Tige Stone, the sterling little right
hander of the Baptists, while south
paw Allle Thompson is the bet in
the second. Big Jack Frost has won
all of his seven starts this season,
and will hardly drop what may be
the last collegiate game he will ever
pitch.
Georgia, It wll lie recalled, has de
feated the Codyraen two times this
season already, the first enconter be
ing a 9-2 walk-a-way, with Frost
serving the pill for the victors, and
Pantone besting Thompson in an
eleven inning win in the second.
The outcome of the games can
hardly affect Georgia’s status with
respect to the 8. 1. A. A. gonfalon,
since the two teams are not ranking
equally on tho basis of past records.
