July of 1921, the umpire Judged

DIXIE SERIES OPENER
WICHITA FALLS, Sept. 24.—
Warmer temperatures were in the
offing for the second game of the
Dixie series lhere tills afternoon,
strengthening the playing ability
of the New Orleans Pelicans, cham-
pions of the Southern Association.
The Pelicans lost the series op-
ener yesterday to the Wichita
Falls Spudders, champions of the
Texas League. 2 to 0. Cold tem-
perature worked a disadvantage on
the Pelicans. The game, however,
was tightly played and evolved into
a pitchers duel. Fussell, the Spud-
ders left handed ace, held the Pel-
icans to three scattered hits and
received spectacular Hiding sup-
port.

visitors, slipped in the fourth 'in-
ning and was relieved by Collard.
Collard was relieved by Karr in

After two weeks of training, Free-
land this week pruned the 60 as-
pirants for places on the team to
40 men from who®) the first team
will be picked. Because of the
heavy schedule, an ample number
of first string reserves will be kept
available.

er of the schedule follows:

The Babe had just returned from
the plate after his custonpary time
at bat during the pxactic<MMion.
In throe swings at the ball, two of
his efforts resulted in long drives

“I’m In great shape," he replied.
"I would like to break my record
of 50 but I don’t think I will be
able to do it. However. I am posi-

as you want to on that one."
