FRIDAY MOKMNG, Al'G. M. 1914.
“RUBE” PITCHES
SHUT-OUT GAME
"Rube" pitched a clean shut nut the
last game of the double hill Tuesday.
Although he gave up six safeties,
none railed for an extra base and
Rome tottered in the palm of his hand
throughout the entire game.
Harrlny, who had been so effective
in the first game, met his “Waterloo”
in the last, route t at the hand > of
those unmerciful “Tarrnpin" batters.
The game, was cinched in the first,
three innings, when hits and errors
netted LaGrange live runs.
LaFitte featured at the hut by get
ting two safetie: out of tnree timed
u|. In the third inning he drove a
terrific drive to center field which
took an unusual bounce and went
over the fence. This homer came
jiis-t after Bannister had secured a
two-bagger and effected both scores.
During the two games of the double
header Tuesday, Aniason halted an
even four hundred, getting a single
in the fir? 1 gome cut of tnree times
up and a double in the last with only
two trials.

ROME DIVIDES
DOUBLE-HEADER
By a home run in the third inning,
and a score on a squeeze play in the
seventh, Rome defeated LaGrange by
the close score of four to three.
It is a queer thing but it has been
proved by the tulley sheet, the ma
jority of the scores made by “The
Turrupins" have been effected in the
even innings. Doctor Herring itecall-
ed this fact at the end of this certain
defeat and lamented the fact that
the eight, inning did not come.
Stegall, a now addition to “Father
Terrapin's” outfit played third Imso
and handled that corner of the dia
mond in a creditable manner. Waldron
played short stop and many an in
field hit was whipped out at first by
failing “pick-up" and
his never
"wing.”

soon return to short. ■

BASEBALL POEM
’Twas Fooshfaec Fink, th’ village nut,
Who lied a pass that day,
An’ lowed ns how, boycott or not,
He aimed to see ’em piny.
The’ teams both roared with luug-
te r,
But Umpire Joe McGee
Rose up an’ bowed afore th’ stand
As solemn as could he.
Say he: “Th’ batteries today,
Fer Jimson—Bink an’ Gink;
Fcr Chickweed Wienerkrnut. an’
Wust.”
“1’lay ball," says Fooshface Fink.
Now comes th’ most umazin’ part
Of this unique contest,
Th’ hoys bed got their dander up,
An’ played their level best.
Sich battln an* sieh fiicklin’ work
Was never seen afore;
With triple plays an’ double steals,
An’ circus stunts galore.
Fer twenty innings nip-an-tuck,
Th’ score stood none to none,
Till jest, at dark Jake Wienerkrnut
Laced out a clean home run!
We scare need say th’ boycott, on
TIT duckweed nine fell fiat
An’ Fooshfaec was th’ village sage
Forever after that.
—G. S. Applogarth.
ALLEN SCORES
THE ONLY RUN
The first game with Anniston, re
sulted in a victory for LaGrange by
the tune of one to nothing. It was a
pitchers’ contest throughout with the
honors slightly in favor of “Buddy,"
who allowed only thirty men to face
him and gave up only four safeties.
The only run of the game was made
by Allen in the first inning. He got
to first on a scratch hit, stole second
Hiul third and came home on a sacri
fice fly by Zellars.
“Rube” was again a feature at the
bat, getting a single, a double arid a
sacrifice out of three times at bat.
Besides Allen and Zellars, Sid Hol
land was the only other “Tarrupin” to
secure a hit.
The features of
the
were the

made
by

Lacrosse Is Exciting Game.
Whut is the matter with lacrosse 1
)t Is speedy and exciting from the
spectators' viewpoint, and tt Is not dif
ticult to gain a knowledge of the tine
points of the game. Critics of tlie
sport have alleged that It Is brutal;
but. while minor injuries are more or
less frequent, the record of lacrosse in
regard to serious accidents and fatalt
ties is nitieli cleaner than that of base
bull, boxing, football or almost any
other strenuous sport. Professionalism
is charged by some Canadian critics
with responsibility for the decline of
the game, but -baseball, soccer, hockey
and other sports have survived and
flourished under a professional regime
The facts of the matter seem to bo
that lacrosse has everything a game
should have to enlist popular support
except publicity, if the newspapers
took up lacrosse it would soon become
popular.

THOMAS S. FELDER
Leading Candidate for ‘Shor term Senatorship.
He Stands For Justice to The South
He is against Federal Judges Holding Office for Life.
He advocates better and cheaper credits for Farmers.
He is heartily in favor of Government aid in building good roads.
He is opposed to the Northern Pension Fraud and against a negro

He advocates legislation clearly defining the Peonage statutes so
that Southern Farmers will not be subject to Federal prosecutions
when they seek to enforce their rights against shiftless negro farm
labor.
Remember that he led the tight to abolish Convict Leasing and
fathered the bill to put Convicts on the public roads, dealing a death
blow to convict competition with Free Labor. He has left behind
him on the statute books the record of a constructive statesman
and an honest, courageous man of great capacity, and as Attorney
General he established a precedent by refusing to accept special fees
for work performed for the State.
There is no logical reason why two senators should come from
Atlanta.
Both his main opponents arc bolding on to their office and draw

resigned his office and dealt in good faith with the people.
