Passes Trough Atlanta to His
Former Home in Athens.
Stanhope Irwin, formerly of Ath
ens. Ha.. wlm lias been living in
Cafifornia for some years, arrived
in Atlanta last night on a private
ear, with his neck broken from
an accident lie met with at San
Francisco several w eeks ago. He
was accompanied by his mother;
his brother. Mayor Andrew Irwin,
of Athens, and other members of
the family, and physician ami mtrs
es.
Mr. Irwin’s condition is preca
rious. and his death is probable at
any moment. During the early
hours of Sunday, whh p iust west
of Nashville, it was believed be
would pass away before the train
could reach that city, but under
powerful stimulants lie was kept
alive, and bis physician was hope
ful last night that the patient
pould he gotten to Athens bet ore
the end. and there, in the quiet of
his home, his life prolonged if
such a thing is humanly possible.
Mr. Irwin is a member of one of
the most prominent families in
Georgia, and lias thousands of
friends tbruout the state. He is
38 Syears old. and married.
A peculiar coincidence is the sim
ilar fate that befell his older broth
er. Alex Irwin, some years ago.
lie also fell in the dark from a
back porch and broke his neck. In
that case, however, the accident
caused immediate death.
The above is from the Constitu
tion of last Monday. Mr. Irwin
died in a few hours after reaching
Athens, his old home.

WEDNESDAY'S VICTORY
MAKES SEVEN STRAIGHTS
THE WINDER BASEBALL TEAM AFTER LAMBASTING ELBER
TON FOR THREE STRAIGHTS HERE LAST WEEK, JOUR
NEYED OVER MADISON WAY MONDAY WHERE
THEY COPPED THREE OTHERS —MADISON
HERE FOR REMAINDER OF WEEK
Winder took three games from
Klbertou last Thursday. Friday
and Saturday. The game Thurs
day was a hard fought one, lull of
thrills.from the beginning to the
end. Pantone was on the mound
for Winder, and as had pitched a
game Tuesday and part of one on
Monday, he was not at bis best,
but he was the inner, the entire
Winder team being behind him.
Red Barron was there in the pinch
es with Ids fielding and hitting, lie
delivered two hits at the right
time which enabled Winder to win
the game with fair ease.
Batteries: Klbertou. Williamson
& Hope: Winder, Pantone & Hig
gins. Umpire, Beau.
The game on Frida}’ was not so
jam up, but instead was rather
loose in places, as there was free
hitting by both teams and several
errors. Fox started for Winder
and was relieved by Lippett in the
third inning. Woodworth for El
berton was relieved in the sixth by
Allen who fared but little better
than did Woodworth. Donaldson,
an Klbertou player, who had as
sisted Klbertou to lose the game on
Thursday, and also this one,, lost
control of himself, lie wanted to
get on Mr. Bean, the umpire, and
it was necessary to call an officer
to get him off the field. This act
was very ungentlenianly and un-
sportsmanlike, ns Mr. Bean gives
his decisions as lie sees them and
is fair and square.
Batteries: Elbert on, Woodworth
& Hope. Winder. Ox. Lippett &.
I liggins.
After waiting for some time for
the drizzling rain to stop the game
was started Saturday. The “Old
Reliable” Cochran was the twiri
er for Winder and Turk the “won
der” for Elbert on. The fans had
reasons to expect a pitchers bat
tle, but on account ot the heavy
field and the Elberton team being
called oil’ the field in the last half
of the fourth they were disappoint i
ed in the duel. Cochran bad giv
en up only one hit during the four,
innings pitched by him and I uric
was being hammered bard. After
the time limit set by the rules the
I game was forfeited to Winder 9,
to 0. This saved Turk from being
driven from the box.
Elberton’s kick was on a play at
the home plate. Winder had on a
bit and run play with Higgins onj
first and Bevo Webb at bat. Bevo
delivered with a long single and
Higgins scored. The ball was
thrown to second as Bevo was on
his way: be stopped on the path
and the Elberton player hesitat
ed. in the meantime Higgins was
on his way from third to home. Hie
hesitation of the Elberton player
gave Higins the time needed to
score, which he did. There was
not any reason why the Elberton
team should have been valid off
the field and it showed unsports
nuuiship when they were called oft
and stopped the game.
The Athens Banner stated in the
Sunday issue that the game was
stopped on account of fighting and
that the Elberton players quietly!
walked off of the field. The state-i
meat that there was fighting will
leave a bad impression of Winder.
The calling of the Elberton team
off the field was the only unsports
manlike oceurrance.
Winder made it three straights
from Madison. The first was 2 to
1, the second 3 to 2. the third 3 to
1.
Henry was on the mound for
Winder in the third game and gave
up only one hit, this ball was mis
judged and Henry should have
had a no-hit and no-run game.
Kssau Settle delivered another hit
in the pinch in the third game
which put it on ice for Winder.
We play Madison three games,
Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
These games will be the best se
ries played in Valley Park. Kv
erybody will be there to help the
home team to win. you come.
Young Bob Higgins is getting
younger, as lie beat out an infield
hit. also scored from first on a sin
gle during the Klbertou series.
Red Barron delivered two nice
singles at a time when hits scored
runs, also making sensational
catehes during the Klbertou games
Hevo Webb broke a record with
a hit Saturday: at the time lie
went to bat Winder did not have
a score and after the noise had
quieted Winder had nine runs.
Bolk. who plays short for W in
der is hitting steadily and in the
pinches.
Winder lias W hite, who was
'with Monroe playing utility, lie
delivered a nice single that Avon
the game from in Madison Tues
day.
Bob Higgins is still on tlie war
path as he got a three base hit,
scoring Belk, who had doubled
and scored on the single of W liite,
in the game played Tuesday.
Essau Settle, who lias played
steady ball and who stays in the
game all of the time, broke into
the star circle Monday by defeat
ing Madison with a home run and
a three-base hit scoring later with
the winning run.
Rob Hill was called to his
home on account of sickness, hut i
is now hack and joined his team
at Madison Tuesday.
•hie Guyon. the fleet-footed In
dian. has strengthened the home
team considerably, lie lias been
hitting the old apple and when he
gets on a base lie keeps them
guessing as to what he is going to
do next. Joe went from first to
third on an infield hit, which takes
some speed.
“Goat” Cochran continues his
winning streak, when he is in the
box the game is sure to be credit
ed to Winder.
Jenkins is also delivering the
goods; when he is right he is un
beatable.
Tex Henry has joined the Win
der pitching staff and he is expect
ed to deliver. He was in the Vir
ginia league and good enough lor
Connie Mack to give him a trial.
He was farmed out for more sea
soning with strings tied to him.
Jay Smith plays exceptional
good ball not he in good condition.
He only plays with Winder w hen
we are at home as lie is under
treatment of his physician.
