PAGE FOUR EGGHEAD’S EPICS M ■a* as St§ L FAIR AND WARMER SO THIS IS the week of the Griffin and Spalding County Fair, a week when the population of the city and county can mix and mingle on the midway, in the grandstand, exhibition rooms, on the whip, ferris wheel, flying jenny and various and sundry other places of wholesome amusement. THE SOUTHEASTERN fair dosed in Atlanta Saturday. The writer went out to the races, etc., several afternoons. Once, while standing in front of the grandstand, someone yelled, “Egghead." There is somebody from home, w# meditated, and turning around saw Julian Gaissert and Bruce Montgomery, president and secretary of the fair association. They were up here getting horses for the Griffin races, and they got most all Atlanta had, too. SPEAKING OF THRILLING sports, that auto polo makes most any kind of game in the world look mild. We are thinking of introducing the game at Griffin. We have already challenged the champion team up here to play one we are going to manage, consisting of Jbg Spivis, pilot, and “Doc” Johnson, as the man who stands on the running board and mauls the ball. Those birds turn each other over just for fun, but we contend that our team would be fearless and unbeatable. AT THE HORSE 8HOW one day last week, they were hurdling bar riers on horseback like they do on fox hunts in the movies. One horse forgot to jump, threw his rider and fell on top of him. The writer hap pened to be standing within 20 feet of the spot, Everybody thought the poor fellow was dead. Megaphones were thrown in the stands for a doctor, and who should respond but our old friend, “Doc" Linwood Gable. The old was on the HOME COMING AN ^ATTRACTIVE card from Bill Wells, in behalf of the Chamber of Commerce, states that Thursday will be “Home-coming day’^at the Griffin fair, including an appropriate per sonal touch by saying, “All the folks will be looking for you,” which makes it seem like a personal invitation. Egghead is very anxious to spend at least one day jn Griffin this week, but Wednesday is the day of the g a u„ort-Guttti.eU* wedding, which we can ill afford to miss; Thursday is home-coming day, and one Friday G. H. S. plays Commercial Hi there. THAT MAKES too many things in one week and it will W a tough job to decide which'day to come, if at nJl. COMMERCIAL HI SPEAKING OF the Commercial gome, the Atlanta preps were de feated last Friday by Decatur, 14 to 0. Decatur seems to have developed a Bronchitis Leaves a bad cough.

Frank ly speaking, however, we have a mighty good hunch that Coach Talia ferro's boys will lick Commercial, but they will have to fight like the mis chief to do It. BUT FIGHTING spirit is one quality for which G. H. S. teams have been noted for years, and there are some mighty good players still left in Griffin, That has already been proved.
