Hartwell School NewQ
—A LITTLE BIT OF EVERYTHING—
By GEORGE CLARK
Jack Magill, star pitcher of the
Hartwell High tribe, pitchen a splen
did game of ball last Saturday af
ternoon against Athens High, giving
up only seven hits—but was defeat
ed as a crsult of some costly bob
bles by his team-mates and also be
cause of his own wildness at times
when wildness meant runs.NThe final
score was 7-11 in favor of the Ath
ens Maroons.
Athens scored first—in the first
when she made one run on a hit,
fielder’s choice, and another hit.
Wingfield was out at first. Smith
singled, but was forced at second
when Heywood took first on a field
er’s choice. Heywood stole second
and raced home as Price singled.
Athens added two more in the sec
ond on a hit and a couple of walks.
Hartwell tied the score in the last
half of the third inning, pushing
across three markers. Rogers began
the inning by sending a pretty one
over third. Richardson bunted safe
ly, Rogers taking second. Hill’s long
triple to left scored Rogers and Rich
ardson. Cordell took first on an in
field hit as Hill scored Hartwell’s
third run. F. Skelton fanned and
Alford was thrown out at first by
Wingfield, to end the frame.
Four runs were added to Athense’
total in the fourth. Corithers
grounded out. Harris and Hamilton
walked. Epting took first as Ham
ilton was thrown out at second.
Wingfield’s infield hit scored Harris,
and Smith, next up, tripled, scoring
Epting and Heywood. Price flied out
to Alford.
Hartwell came within two runs of
tying the score in the fifth, as she
made a couple of runs and brought
her total up to five while Athens’ to
tal remained seven. Cordell hit
through third to open the fifth. F.
Skelton struck out, as Cordell stole
second and third bases, respectively.
Alford singled to right, scoring Cor
dell. Alford stole second and went
to third on Hamilton’s error. C.
Skelton doubled and brought Alford
in with the last run of the inning.
Magill fanned.
Three more runs were scored by
Athens in the sixth, and one in the
eighth, while Hartwell added another
tally in the seventh.
It was astonishing and also dis
couraging to see the Hartwell boys
as they went to bat and got clean
hits, only to see their chances thrown
away as their followers sent weak
flies to the outfielders. Hartwell
gathered from Corithers a total of
fifteen hits while Magill held Ath
ens to only seven.

Athens High administered to Hart
well a defeat Friday afternoon in the
first of two games that were played
on the local field with Athens last
week. The score was 18-7.
Hartwell got fourteen hits off
Corithers and Beussee, while Athens
garnered twenty hits off the com
bined deliveries of Pierce and Ayers.
The former was taken out of the box
in the second inning, and Ayers held
Athens to , six runs and eight hits
during the remainder of the game.
Score by Innings:

Hartwell 1 0 0 300 210— 7
Two old rivals meet Friday after
noon on the local field—Hartwell and
Lavonia, and one or the other is go
ing to win.
Lavonia comes to Hartwell with
colors flying and hopes high, for she
really anticipates a victory—but an
ticipating is all, ’cause Hartwell is
going to beat them, even if they did
win a game from Athens High.
Our team lost Friday afternoon by
a large score, but there is one thing
that we have found out—that Pel
ham Ayers can pitch.
Pelham was rushed to the scene in
the second inning, after Pierce had
been driven from the box. During
his seven innings’ stay in the pit
Ayers gave up only eight hits, and
that his first game in the box, too.

To tell the truth, fans were sur
prised—not at his all round good
playing, but at his pitching, for no
one ev«r thought he could pitch. He
now holds a position as regular
mounds-man, along with Pierce and
Magill.
Up to the time of the Hartwell-
Gibson-Mercer game Tuesday the
Hartwel team had a batting average
of .302, an increase of 19 points over
the previous week.
An average of around .300 for a
team is certainly good—but, Hart
well continues to lose games. The
greatest reason for her losses is lack
of support. Not so many errors are
registered against the team, but still
the infield is rather slow. In the
Athens-Hartwell games many run
ners on the Athens team literally
outran the ball. A fast infield would
not allow this.
The following are the six best
hitters, according to averages, on the
Hartwell team:
Player AB. R. H. Aver.
Adams 2 1 2 1.000
Alford 5 2 3 .600
Hill 27 4. 13 .482
Cordell 26 4 9 .346
Holland 15 4 5 .333
Heaton 9 1 3 .333
The next game after the Lavonia-
Hartwell fracas Friday will be be
tween Hartwell and Gainesville next
Tuesday.
Hartwell was defeated by Gaines
ville two weeks ago, but should have
won the game as she held a seven run
lead up until the seventh inning,
Gainesville breaking loose and scor
ing eight runs to win the game.
The big baseball game last Wed
nesday afternoon was a success from
every standpoint from the runs of
both the parents and the teachers to
the number of runs of both teams.
The score was 36-25, in favor of
the teachers. Sara Pierce pitched
good ball for the winners while Mrs.
Jesse L. Massey held full sway in
the box for the losers.

The people are asked to donate can

Clothing of every description is so
licited; it is hoped Hart county can

yesterday confirmed the following as
members of the present Board of Di
rectors which consists of: L. A.

One of the features of the annual
meeting of the members of the as

Mr. Eugene Black, President of the
Atlanta Trust Company. In his ad
dress Mr. Black reiterated his belief
in Co-operative Marketing and confi
dence in the management of the
Georgia Cotton Growers Co-opera
tive Association. With reference to
the problem of the association, the
speaker said:
“Any man who loves Georgia and
is interested in her prosperity, is not
opposed to co-operative marketing
for cotton and other farm products,
in my opinion. Where we find one
opposed to it, his opposition is usual
ly based on some financial and sel
fish interest which oft-times is an
tagonized to the extent in his com
munity the association grows.”
It was pointed out at the meeting
that the association had handled more
cotton during the past year than in
any previous year since organization.
The new Board of Directors gave
the management its endorsement and
appreciation for the efficient manner
in which the affairs of the organiza
tion have been conducted during the
past year. A number of the mem
bers of the Board made brief talks
in pointing out the splendid manner
in which the management, under the
direction of President Conwell, has
carried on the different departments
of the organization.

CHARLES HILLYER BRAND
(From the Fellowship Forum, Febru
ary 14, 1925, Washington, D. C.)
Charles Hillyer Brand, Democratic
Representative from the “Cracker
State” was born at Loganville,
Georgia, April 20, 1861. He attend
ed the public schools of his native
State, after which he entered the
University of Georgia, graduating
from that institution in 1881.
Representative Brand has been
twice married, first to Miss Estelle
Winn, of Lawrenceville, on June 30,
1886. She died on July 31, 1889.
He married Miss Mary Dixon Hut
chins, also of Lawrenceville, on June
6, 1901. She, too, died on January
25, 1913. He has three daughters,
two of whom are married and are
living in Atlanta. The other is a
Student at the Colonial School, Wash
ington.
In 1882 Mr. Brand was admitted
to the Georgia Bar and began to
practice law in Lawrenceville. He
was elected to membership in the
Sixty-fifth through the sixty-eighth
Congresses, and at the election last
November was re-elected to the Six
ty-ninth Congress. He is a member
of the Committee on Banking and
Currency.
Mr. Brand has been active in fra
ternal circles and is a Past Grand
Master of the Odd Fellows in the
State of Georgia, also a member of
the Masonic Craft. Although his
family on both sides have for the
last hundred years been loyal Hard
shell Baptists, Mr. Brand and his
three daughters are members of the
Presbyterian church. He indicated
his interest in education by estab
lishing the Charles Hillyer Brand
Scholarship Fund which provides for
a scholarship in the University of
Georgia and one at the State Normal
School for poor boys and girls.
The record of his activities in
Congress indicates that Judge Brand
has always been right on legislation
tending to preserve the principles of
Americanism and that he is one of
the really patriotic law-makers of
the House. Judge Brand is an able
debater and is recognized as one of
the hardest working members of the
Georgia delegation.
