It waa a pitcher’s battle from start to finish with Redfearn on the slab tor Georgia and Lane, wbo claims never before to have lost a game for bis college, doing the twirling for Trinity. Redfearn was In fine con dition and held the Trinity hatters down to 2 hits and no runs. Before the game the Georgia boys placed twelve strike outs to his credit and at the end of the game he had not missed this number far as he had fanned nine In eight Innings. Lane had two strike outs and 6 hits to his credit. Yesterday’s close game bronght out one of the largest crowds to the game today, that has ever witness ed a game on the campus here la Athens. The game was scheduled to begin* t 4:00 o'clock, and by balf past three the bleachers were filled to overflowing with Georgia supporters all trying to ^oot Georgia to rlcto^T The game waa called In the eighth Inning on account of rain, much to the satisfaction of Trinity. Georgia scored one run in the sixth on Hod gson single, while Martin was oa third. The other ran came In the eighth. When the game waa called, Georgia had two men on baeei and only one man out Trinity bad ready received their half of the eight.

The contributions for missions tor ef your letter of the 13th Inst, mak ing Inquiry of me at the pastor of tho Second Baptist Church, Atlanta, concerning Hon. Joseph M. Brown, accompanied by th% statement that reports are being circulated In yonr county to the effect that he is an Immoral man anti a whiskey man. I do not feel that I should hs*..qte a moment In answering yonr letter with frankness. Such reports about Mr. Brown are utterly false. ( He IS a member of the Second Baptist Church, Atlanta, not only in ordin ary good standing but In tho partic ular high esteem of all who know him. He Is a modest, earnest, un ostentatious Christian. No breath of Immorality or wrong-doing has ever so far rb I. have ever heard or so far as the people of tbe Second Baptist Church have heard, been at tached to, his name. He Is the larg est individual contributor to mis sions in tbe Second Baptist cbnrcb, and has been tor many years, al though his residence was !> Marietta Ga. Only very recently he joined with our church here In a handsome contribution to the Mercer Endow ment fund. Mr. Brown’s record on the prohibition queetion Is well known In Fulton County. /Ha baa never .been Identified with tbe whis key people. In thq first prohibition campaign in Fulton county, he stood with Henry Grady and Dr. Haw thorne In their campaign Dr. Haw thorne la my authority for this fact and many othere Identified with the leadership of that campaign on tae prohibition side. Peculiar signifi cance was attached to this stand beeasse of ths fact that he was going against bis father and other mem- hen of bis family In obedience to his personal convictions that prohi bition was right. “I am also In possession of the In formation that he has always stead ily refused to rent his private property for saloon purposes in At lanta, although he owned property constantly In demand for such pur poses at a very much higher rate rental. "Personally I believe from what I know of Mr. Brown’s character, conduct and convictions that the In terests of prohibition can be safely trusted to his hands. Of any other Issue dn the campaign I have nothing to^say. I am merely deelrious In answer to your letter that the false report which you say Is being cir culated concerning Mr. Brown may have a positive dental from Ms pas tor. I am.
