BASEBALL NEWS The Blakely baseball team has j had rather a bad week since the | past issue of the News. A crippled catcher and an overworked pitching j staff showed the team up in rather bad light in the series with Ameri cas the latter part of last week. Thursday’s game in Americus, on i protest of Manager Wade of Blake ly was thrown out and will be play ed over as the first game of a double header in Americus Saturday. Um pire Stewart had ruled Americus the winner by a score of 3 to 2, calling a Blakely runner who had scored back on a passed ball, which score should have been allowed due to ground rules. Friday’s game in Americus went to that club by a score of 4 to 3 and following this the Sumter county ag gregation came to Blakely Saturday and trounced us in a free-hitting contest 7 to 5. Three home runs featured this contest, one by Austin of Blakely and two by Americus players. Monday afternoon Cochran for Blakely and Kain for Albany en gaged in a pretty pitcher’s battle which went to Albany by the score of 2 to 1. This was followed by another Albany victory Tuesday af ternoon by a score of 10 to 1. Jack Slappey was too much for the Blake ly sons of swat, and the defense of the local team seemed gone to pieces. Dorfan and Hollingsworth were on the mound for Blakely, and Hope was on the receiving line. Kimbrell, Albany catcher, was the hitting star of this fracas, getting four hits out of five times up. But it’s a long lane that has no turning. The boys went over to Albany Wednesday with blood in their eyes and vengeance in their souls. The fans were clamoring for a victory. “Lefty” Miles was pick ed as the man to do the work and Fincher was again on the receiving line. Hope, catcher and short stop, succeeded Conway at shortstop and .«fi;-rleq.° game was the result, Farrar, Savannah youngster, was the victim of the Blakely batting crew, and the result was a score of 10 to 3 in Blakely’s favor. The boys showed the old-time form and it is believed I that with the losing streak broken, j Blakely is going to take on new life i wfw ii i a+ii.— ijjJSfO matter what Kind JaMl of a shoe you are looking for, or the price | I you wish to pay, you will | ] find a pair of I W.L.Douglas I Shoes that will meet your re quirements andyou will be absolutely sure of receiving full value for your money.

EVERYBODY The automobile is the most deadly hazard of modern life. Last • year it killed 14,000 people—a city in itself —and injured a million and a half more. One car out of every hundred is literally a death-trap—it will kill somebody before it reaches the junk pile. More than twelve million automobiles in the United States and j the number is increasing yearly. Automobile accidents are increasing faster than the number of machines. 1,400,000 people in the United States suffered non-fatal injuries from automobiles last year. $280,000,000.00 si estimated as the annual economic loss from deaths and injuries caused by motor accidents. This danger is increasing every day—and the Automobile Accident | Policy is the best and most specific protection against it and the cheapest. A. J.
