BLACKSMITHS WON
FROMJHE CRACKERS
Georgia Had the Game in Her Hands Until the Seventh
Inning When the Techs Solved Myddleton in Great
Shape. The Two Teams Will Probably Play
Another Game in Macon Soon.
%
There w e nr. j 'jr in Athens last night.
for Georgia's crack baseball nine, fresh
from two victories over the strong M-r
oer baseball cloh, went down in defeat
yesterday afternoon 1 efore the Tech
team, losing by tho decisive score, 10 to
S.
The Crackers went in the game with
out the least thought of defeat, with
that confidence which has In the past
lost so many games for the old red and
black, and the result was the same as it
has been in the past, for in the seventh
and lire ninth innings the T.chites
piled qd eight runs a id pot the Georgia
team on the bnm.
It was not errors wbioh lost this last
game for the men played good hard ball
and when they erred, tbrir faults were
n it of a very serious nature Thedefeta
is due to the hard and timely lotting of
the blacksmith aggregation, and to the
weakness of the Georpia pitcher, Myd-
dleton, who seemed nuable to get out of
a bad hole when he blundered into ooe.
However ho is not to be blamid for the
loss of the game since he has been sick
for a long time and has never this season
been in tip-top condition, and the black
smiths were ont for hits and runs and
WO rid probably have taken them off of
any pitcher on the red and the black.
The game started ont in a glorious
manner and promised a speedy victory
for the Georgia team. In the very first
Inning by a oonple of hits and a unm-
ber at errors by the Techs Georgia made
one ran, and blanked her opponents
both In this inning and in the next. It
wa»In theihud whena different state
of affairs began. In this period of time
both teams made one ron, making the
score Georgia 2, Tech 1.
In the fonrth Georgia made two and
Tech one, leaving the soore Georgia 4
Teoh 2. But this was the end of Geor
gia's lead and just when the crowd was
beginning to dream ct victory they
were awakened by the continued cracks
of the bat and the ball, and when they
thoroughly awoke from their lethargy
the score was Tech fi, Georgia 4. The
rnos were the results of three hits, one
error and a whole lot of other things
thrown in for gcod measure.
The eighth was uneventful but the
fireworks began again in the Jninth
when Myddleton gave up four clean hits
and hit one man, and Georgia added
one error for good measure. Three men
were on the bases, v. lien Brinson con
nected with a beam if it la" aud sent it
over McCalla's head in lilt, for a home
rnn. and the agony was over. In her
half Georgia tried to make op the dif-
ference, bat th >ngh she filled the bases
only one ran cam- in.
Ono pretty featur > of the game was
the throw of Walk r fioua right to home
putting out a mio, and several other
pat oats at hem > plate.
It is probable that atiothir game be*
tween these 110 teams wi'i be played in
Maoon soon in oid r to brnaa the tie.

The Central of Georgia Railway Com
pany is to l uild an electric line from
Bishop to High Sboils.
This has been determined upon after
a meeting of the railroad officials held a
few’ days since at Bishop, when the mat
ter was thoroughly discuss*d.
The distauce is only four miles and
the railroad officials have figured it out
that the new electric road would be a
good investment after a while at least.
The town of High Shoals will give
considerable patronage to the new line
aud the High Shoals Manufacturing
Company will aleo be large patrons.
A part of the plan is to develep enough
electric power to ran the High Shoals
factory and also light the town of High
Shoals by electricity.

his attack.
Yesterday morning Dr. Thayer, of
Johns Hopkins Hospital, Baltimore, ar
rived in the city to consult with Dr. S.
C. Benedict, who is in charge of the
case. Dr. Thayer’s diagnosis agreed in

there was no change made in the treat

Both physicians agree that there is

THE IMPROVEMENTS
WILL NOW BE MADE
Athens Y. M. C. A. Will Put in a Swimming Pool, a
Bowling Alley and a Number of Additional Bath
Rooms. The Religious Work of the Associa
tion Will be Greatly Strengthened.
THE COMMITTEE
ONTELEPHONES
Will Look Into the Situation
Again With View of Get
ting Better Service.
Tbe telephone situation in Athens
may be investigated again by the Cham
ber of Commerce in an effort to improve
the service here.
At the meeting of the Chamber of
Commerce Monday afternoon several
members expressed the opinion that the
service had not shown the improvement
that had been promised by the telephone
officials two months since.
As the sixty days time asked by the
company in which to effect the neces
sary changes aud improve the service
has expired, it was the senne of the
meeting that another session of the
committee on telephone service be held
and the situation thoroughly investi
gated again.
Chairman Bondurant will call his
committee together within the next few
days and steps will doubtless be taken to
secure a better service from the Bell
Telephone Co.
The Athens \ . M. (’ A. is to be vastly
improved at once as to its attractiveness
and nsefulues-*.
At a meeting of the beard of director*
of the Association held Monday night It
was determined to improve in many
ways the religions work of the Associa
tion and a number of new* aud interest
ing features in that department of the
work will be introduced at an early date.
The directors are now at work on plana
for the bringing of this department np
to the highest standard of excellence.
When these plans have been definitely
made and put into execution the Athena
Young Men’s Christian Association will
accomplish more good ia this direction
than it has ever accomplished in it*
histcry.
The improvements on the building in
the way cf increasing the number of
bath rooms, providing a swimming pool
and a bowling alley, etc . will be made
within the mxt few weeks. The asso
ciation has succeeded in making a loan
of two thousand dollars with which to
make these improvements and when
they have been completed the income of
the association from those sources will
be more than enough to take care of the
debt that will be created to provide for
them, and in addition there will spring
from these improvements a greater In
terest than ever before in the work of
the assc3iation.
It is expected that the work on these
improvements will be started within the
pushed forward
