Go Eleven Innings at Athletic

That was a good game of hall
last Friday afternoon when Com
merce and the locals fought hard
lor eleven innings and walked off
the field on account of darkness,
tied up hivd and fast.
Charlie Cooper, veteran of
many well-played games, was in
the box for Commerce while
Manager Jackson sent Foy in for
the locals.
Through a combination of er
rors in the first inning Commerce
sent two runs across the plate,
but the Winder hoys steadied
down and it was a one, two,
three proposition for the next
few innings.
One by one the locals eased up
and passed the visitors. At the
beginning of the’ n nth the score
stood 2 to 3 in favor of the lo
cals, but by careful generalship
Commerce managed to push one
across the plate in the last of
the ninth, tying the score. For
two more innings neither side
scored, and the game was called
on account of darkness.
Manager Jackslojj has arrange/
for the game between Commerce
and Winder to lg* played off

Albert on Goed Behavior.
A dispatch to the Atlanta pa
pers brings us the intelligence
that Sergeant Williams!; of Win
der, Ga., and Sergeant Ander
son, of Mcnroe, Ga.. are the life
of the camp, and they ar<> great
comedians. They even make some
of the steriL- army officers turn
their heads and smile by their
witty sayings, they are not ov
erly burdened with beauty, but
they wear a smile that won t
come off. If they make a good
score they smile, and if they
make a bad one they smile. Some
of the men are inclined to be
grouchy when they don’t get
the score they think they should
have made, but when they look
at one of these boys they have
to smile, too. They are good men
to have in any camp.
