ThcvMakea Salty Reply to
Attack Made on Them
Recently.
UMPIRE ED, O'CONNELL
Writr-s a Letter Telling Why the
Game of Ball Was Called in
Sixth Inning
The students at Mercer University had
"Dplied to the attack made on them by
their ball team by the Red and Black, the
lolli g* paper at the A .He University. Tnc
reply i not made in the public prints, but
tin- students at Mercer have gotten out a
special edition of th< colege paper, anil it
appeared yt sterlday.
Tlie reply of the Mercer boyS is as foil
loti's:
ONR REDLY.
W* Kill Them With Eacts.
We, the undersign, d, have been appoint
ed committee from the stident body
in '.Mercer University to reply to
the slanderous articles about our
baseball club and college, contained in
tin- A in ns "Red ami Black,” of April 30th.
AVe notice these articles not because we
think it ni’c.'ssiry to defend ourselves be
fore anyone who knows us or who saw the
game under discusßion, but simply and sole
ly that persons at a distance may under
stand our position and that we may there
by lie sot right before the public. AVe
shall endeavor to restrain our indignation
ami merely present the cold, hard, undeni
abh facts ti;at-they may be passed upon
by a fair and discriminating public. AVe
will not be drawn into a discussion, but
l imply present facts which are undeniable
and linai. AVe may say further that we
do not believe that the articles voice the
sentiments of the student Isody of the
State University. AVe believe that, they
will be approved only by a small clique
who foil sore over their defeat, and that
the majority of the Georgia students will
not approve of these gross misstatements
about a sister college.
Taking the articles up in order, we wish
first to refer .to the alleged inhospitable
conduct charged upon us. To the hun
dreds of people who saw' the game, it is
not necessary to say that every “kick”
that was made against the umpire, every
dirty trick that was resorted to. and every
unfair method that was employed emana
ted from the Georgia team; and that dur
ing all of this our men played on good
naturedly. strong, up-hill ball, realizing
that gentlemanly conduct and fair meth
ods always pay best in the end. That the
Georgia team played dirty ball is evidenced
by the fact, to which we have already
called atention, that every objection to a
decision came from them, and from the
fact that when one of our men knocked the
ball over left field fence the runner was
touched near second base by another ball,
which had been obtained in some unknown
manner, in the hands of an Athens player.
The runner was then called out by the
umpire and the Athens team went to their
bench. Tire first ball was then thrown
back into the ball park from the outside,
and the umpire, seeing the trick, required
the Georgia players to return to the field
and complete their inning by putting out
another man. This is only one instance
of the unfair and tricky methods of the
Georgia team, and it was commenred on
by everyone after the game. Nor, we
charge, was the -Mercer-Athens game the
only occasion where they have resorted to
these dirty methods. In the Pennslyva
nia-iAthens game in Atlanta last month,
which some of our boys saw, the Georgia
t< am caused every unpleasant feature
whi‘h marred that, occasion. So manifest
was this to the audience at that game, that
they actually hissed a Georgia player for
his unfair methods. A Georgia - boy on
Georgia soil, playing against a Northern
team, hissed by a Georgia crowd because
they realized that his tactics were unfair
and his playing dirty. As another proof
that most of the charges made against
us- while they are untrue as applied to us
are actually applicable to the Georgia
team, is found in their ungentlemanly
conduct toward Wake Forest last year in
Athens. After they had been defeated by
that, team they actually wanted to fight
their visitors, as was testified to us by the
AA ike Forest team on their recent visit
here. The same thing is illustrated by their
treatment of the Sawanee team on the
Athens grounds April 23d last. So dis
courteous and gross was this conduct that
the Sewanee men wrote us after that
game telling us of the weak points in the
Gisirgia team, through a hope of seeing
tin ni given the drubbing at the hands of
gentlemen which their calibre and meth
ods merited, and which they got. That
this charge, as to the Sewanee game, is
true is fully substantiated by an editorial
in the very same issue of the "Red and
Black” containing the article about our
team. The editorial is as follows:
"B AD M ANNERS."
"The Red and Black was greatly sur
prised at the action of certain members cf
the Georgia team in the recent game with
Sewanee. Such unkind, hasty and dis
courteous remarks as were made on sev
eral occasions, are deeply to be deplored
and cannot possibly redound to the inter
est of the University. Guying is all right,
but it can be carried too far. We should
lememaer that there is such a thing as in
sultin', a man nnd when we resort to such
tactics we degrade ourselves and lower
the standard of our college.”
How is .that, we ask. coming from the
editor of their own organ about the un
gentlemanly conduct of their own team on
their home grounds? And these are the
gentlemen who are engaged in the mis
sionary work of ’civilizing” other col
leges. and who read us lectures on "hospi
tality,” “courtesy." etc! We submit these
facts to the public and ask that they con
sider how the charges of Athens against
us comport with estimates from other an 1
impartial sources. AVe submit the fol
lowing unsolicited words of praise receiv
ed during the past mouth: "The Orange
and Blue,” the Auburn, (Ala..) college pa
per. in writing about the Mercer- Auburn
game, in which we defeated them, says
among other things: "Manager AA’hitney
stayed with us from the finish of the game
until morning, and we do not remember
ever having met a better fellow. The
whole .Auburn team, and especially the
manager, owes him an everlasting debt
of gratitude for his continued courtesies.
No man could possibly have treated us
more royally or borne himself in a more
generous, gentlemanly manner. And Whit
ney is not the only one who by his courte
sy and generosity won friends in Auburn,
but they are too numerous to mention.
* * * The Mercer Boys knew how to
make us enjoy ourselves and made us feel
: like we had beaten the game and they were
the losers. » • » The team left Macon
on Sunday morning thoroughly in love
with the city and its people, and with a de
termination to see both people and city
again as soon as possible.”
This article also contains a conamenda
thffi of Mr. O'Connell as a fair umpire.
A letter to Mr. Whitney from the mana
ger of the Auburn team received two days
after our game with them, is along the
same line.
AA’e also wish to call attention to testi
monial from Macon's leading citizens at
the end of this article.
In addition to this we could add a glow
ing letter from the president of Wake
Forest written to one of our professors
soon after the return of their team home.
after we defeated them in this city. He
writes in highest terms of praise, and says
that their team express themselves as be
ing charmed with the reception and treat
ment at the hands of our men, closing the
letter with these words: "Our men speak
with enthusiasm of their kind reception
and treatment by the Mercer men. These
relations of comity are unspeakably pleas
ing to me. •
‘ Yours truly, Charles E. Taylor.
"Pre-s. Wake Forest."
As to the claim of Athens that they
were swindled out of the game, etc., we
only wish to submit the following letter
from .Mr. O’Connell, the umpire. It shows
that Captain Tichenor. of the Georgia
team, himself suggested that the game be
ealled at the end of the fifth inning, giv
ing as his reason that it was getting too
dark to play. Umpire O'Connell agreed
to call the game at the end of the next
inning. At the time the game was called,
as the Macon Telegraph of the next day
stated in these words: “It was so dark
that the people in the grand stand could
scarcely see the hall, and it was impossi
ble to play longer.” That this is true is
shown by the fact that the game did not
begin until fifteen minutes after four
o'clock, an 1 that, with the time consum
ed by “kicking” on the part of the Geor
gia team, it took nearly two hour.-: to fin
ish up to the sixth inning. But let Mr.
O'Connell’.- letter speak for itself. He is
one of Macon’s most popular citizens, hold
ing a highly responsible position with the
Southern Express Company, and is famous
throughout the country for his fairness and
ability as an umpire. Mr. ©'Connell's
statemen is as follows:
“I have just been handed a copy of the
“Red and Black,” of Athens, containing
the abusive articles about me and the
Mercer team. I do not care to make any
reply to their petty attacks, preferring to
treat them with silent contempt. I will
only say. as to the question of calling the
game on account of darkness, that Captain
Tichenor, of the Athens team, sugested in
the fifth inning, when Athens was still
safely ahead, that it was getting too dark
to play. I then deei-deld to call the game
at the end of the next inning—pot know
ing that Mercer would pile up her four
runs in that inning—as I realized that it
would be too dark to play longer.
"I do not care to discuss the fairness of
my decisions at second base, calling a "ball
a strike,” etc., which they condemn. I
will leave this matter to the judgment of
the large audience which saw Jhe game.
I will only add that I have been umpiring
ball for fifteen years, and feel that the
Mercer-Athens game was as fairly won as
any I ever saw. There was a plain dis
position on the part of the Athens team to
delay the game and these tactics ended to
their own sorrow. They began tihe game
with a kick and kept up the kicking to the
last. I was more lenient towards them
than they deserved, as their conduct at
several places deserved that they forfeit
the game to their opponents.
(Signed.) E. P. O'Connell.”
Further than this, it is not necessary
to discuss the merits of the game. The
fact of title matter is that ithe Georgia team
went into the game expecting to be de
feated, giving as an excuse that several of
their men were crippled and out of the
game, etc. Remarks to this effect were
heard from them before the game. Ait the
very beginning of the game, when the
umpire called “Play ball” at 4 o’clock, the
Athens team insisted on going on the
ground's ‘and practicing more, declaring*
tihait they had not 'had sufficient time to
practice. They thus consumed ten min
utss of time. AA’hen this was over, one of
their men fell down after a little collision
with another man, stretched out on 'the
ground and had himself rubbed, thereby
consuming another five minutes. This
policy of killing time was perfectly mani
fest to the audience, the crowd shouting
constantly to the pitcher to “Play ball."
It turned ou't later, 'as Mr. O’Connell
states, that this trick resulted in a man
ner that they had not at all expected or
calculated upon.
The official score, published in the Ma
con Telegraph, shows that we played bet
ter ball than 'Georgia, made more runs,
and sawer errors. (The official score shoiws
that we made two errors against Georgia's
four, instead of four against four as the
“Red and ißiack” states,) and played clean
ball t while we were doing it. AVe played
an uphill game from the start, overcame
the biig lead which our opponents got on
u.s in the first inning, by 'hard work and
fair ball, and finally won out over them
on solid merit. We join the “Red and
Black” in • regretting that we could not
play further, for with the way our players
were hitting their pitcher in the sixth
inning—making four runsif ithe game
had continued to Che ninth inning, <we
would have given them a defeat such as
they have not suffered in years.
As to their statement 'that some of our
supporters “left the game disgusted,”
“taking off their colors,” etc., etc., we
wish to quote in rebuttal a paragraph
from the account of the game in the ’Ma
con Telegraph of the next day, .ami would
also refer amyone to account of game in
the Atlanta Constitution of the 27th. In
describing the unlMMtnded enthusiasm with
which our victory was greeted by .the
crowd, the Telegraph states: “When 'the
winning run crossed the plate the bleach
ers yelled, sang, danced, rolled on the
grass, looking like five hundred jumping
jaoks. It was a sight never to Ibe forgot
ten by those who saw it. When it was all
over the crowd kept yelling and cheering
until, nearly everybody was hoarse.”
Out of charitable motives, iwe refrain,
from diiscutssing the care-worn and sickly’
little joke of the “Red and Black” about
the “young athletic weakling, which is be
ing cut down In its growth and destined
soon to die an ignorable death because of
the cankerous sores of financial and ath
letic dishonesty' that seem to break out. on
it, etc., etc." AVe are glad that the editor
got that terrific phrase out of his system,
as we are confident that it would have
killed him had he not done so. Our team,
the "athletic weakling” he refers to. have
won every game they’ have played during
- the last four years with one exception,
when Athens beat us (fairly), and have
won every game this year, defeating Wake
Forest, (he former champions, and on top
of that whipping the University of Geor
gia. at Macon. Georgia, April 26th. That
looks as though the “young athletic
weakling” is up and able to be about. Nor
do we care to notice the “financial” ques
tion he mentions. Suffice it to say .that
while the same “Red and Black” which
contains the article under discussion, is
pleading, in notice under head of "The
Graves Lecture.” that everyone go out to
the atbiletic benefit and help them out of
theii» "financial distress,” our association
has bought new uniforms, bats, mits,
masks, and general outfit, and now has
an able-bodied sum snugly laid up in bank
to meet a rainy day or celebrate another
victory over the Georgia team. We might
consent to make them a loan to help them
out of their “financial distress” provided
they could furnish acceptable collateral.
Our athletic treasury is flourishing like the
green bay-tree because we play clean, up
right ball and because the Macon public
realize this and give us a hearty support.
We winder why the Athens athletic asso
ciation is suffering from "financial dis
tress?”
It is not necessary to discuss the "Red
and Black's” statement that we “stole
fifty dollars of their grand stand receipts”
iast year. It is too contemptible for us to
notice. We simply brand it as a most in
famous lie. We make this statement ad
visedly. and submit it to the public feeling
that they’ will endorse it on account of
their reasonable belief .that ihe two hun
dred and fifty young fellows composing
the Mercer student-body—and who are
familiar with and responsible for the ac
tion of the athletic managers—are not
rogues. Mr. Whitney, who was assistant
manager for last year’s club and who is
manager for this year, is familiar with the
transaction that their assertion is based
on. and he makes the following signed
statement: "The division of the receipts
last year was fair and according to con
tract. The contract for last year which
I have, called for a certain per cent, of
the gross gate receipts, which does not in
clude grand stand receipts; while our con
tract this year calls for a certain per cent,
of the gross receipts, this arrangement
’being made on acount of the dissatisfac
tion arising out of last year’s arrange
ment. (Signed) G. W. Whitney.”
MACON NEWS THURSDAY EVENING, MAY 5 1898.
In closing, we may say that the whole
trouble is that the State University team
is suffering from an acute and aggravated
attack of the “sore head.” They are the
only team With whom we have any
trouble, and it seems that every team that
meets them have the same experience as
our own; for instance, Sewanee, Pennsyl
vania, Wake Forest, etc. They resrtrt to
any underhanded metho*! to win a game,
•- ‘ “ Ahe general demeanor of some of
their men on the diamond is such as would
<<o credit to the toughest of the tough pro
fessional ball players. Our boys play
ck tn. manly, upright ball and on that
account the Georgia team cannot get on
with them. It is a noticeable fact, too,
that they never raise a howl until they are
defeated. As the article in the "Red and
Black shows, we defeated them in 18f:5
and they returned Jtome crying "fraud."
and jwsed resolutions to the effect that
they '-'oulel never play us again.” etc. In
1597 they defeated us. We accepted the
def. at gracefully and coo<l naturedly, and
Georgia, returned home pre-eminently
satisfied. We now de fee,t them in 1898
and they again go ba*'k to Athens mad as
in '95, using ithe worn-out baby hoo-hoo,
the iimpiredid it.” We have an unutterable
contempt for an individual or a ball t.-am
who hasn’t the grit and manhood to ac
knowleelge an honest defeat. It must be
apparent to every fair minded person that
they are simply seeking an excuse to ac
count for their defeat at the hands of their
rivals. Nor dad this excuse take form un
til their return home. The 'Macon Tele
graph of .May Ist. in replying to the un
just attack on Mercer in the “Red and
Black.” says: “The excuse that some of
them (the Georgia pdayers) gave to a
Telegraph reporter after the game was,
that the team was crippled, one man be
ing out altogether and two men playing
in new places.” This was the excuse they
offered while here, but returning home
they coubl not manfully face their defeat,
and resort to this dirty and underhand
method to discount our victory. Their
spirit is like that of the mangy little flee
meeting the big dog in the road, being
unmercifully whipped by him. and then
running—yelping and with tail tucked—
under its own house, sticking its cowardly
litble head through a crack that it knows
is too small for the big dog to enter, and
then harking mightily, as though to say,
with little Jack Horner: "Lo, what a great
dog am I !’
We join the “Red and Black” in de
claring that there shall be r.o more games
between Mercer and the State University.
AA e wiiil never play them again until they
have apologized for their niggardly attack
upon our good name. We have defeated
them now in two games of the three play
ed, and are content to rest It here.
AVe denounce the statements contained
in their articles as underhand, untrue, un
ju~t, and ungentlemanly—and submit
that it. was a wa.nton and uncalled for at
tack whose only effect, would be to stir up
strife among Georgia’s institutions of
learning where peace and harmony should
prevail.
These are the facts, the public is the
lury, and we stand fearless before that
just tribunal.

The sympathetic tenderness of a lov
ing husband is everything to art expec
tant mother, especially during her first
ordeal ; George Layton, Esq,, a promi
nent druggist of Daytoh, 0., gives the
following case:
A cu .oaii-r of mine, whose wife has used
four botties of ‘Mother’s Friend” before con
finemeat, says, after seeing the effects of the
remedy, that if she had to go through the ordeal
agaia, and there were but four bottles on the
market, and the cost was SIOO per bottle, she
would have them.
" Mother’s Friend ” is a scientifically
compounded liniment which affords cer
tain relief in tlie various ailments pre
ceding childbirth, and assures prooer
elasticity to the cords and muscles iir
volved in the final ordeal.

The Criticism
On clothing made by us is always ?avcr
ble. Men who have been for yeays adicted
to the “ready made” habit succumb to the
fascination of a perfect fitting suit- when
they learn that it costs to more than the
other kind
Uur di: ’’ay of suitings and trouserings
for summer wear is worth looking at.
Come in and see the prevailing styles. We
won’t ask you to order.
We spare our customers much trouble in
fitting, etc., but we don’t spare ourselves.
The utmost care is taken to make gar
ments that are satisfactory to our cus
tomers.
