FACTS, FIGURES AND FABLES FOR FANS
(BY QCIMBY MELTON.)
A campaign against the use of slang
in the writing of baseball games has
been started by a Chicago newspaper.
President Ban Johnson is supporting
the movement and advocates the use of
Shakespearian English in the accounts
of all games.
Can you imagine anything like this,
“Mr. Chancey strode majestically to
the station commonly called the home
plate base, vigorously smote the
sphere of rubber and horsehide to an
unoccupied territory and speedily tra
versed the base lines until in danger
of being retired he paused momenta’-
ily at third base, wherein the multi
tudes applauded in a seemingly bois
terous manner, ihut in keeping with
the occasion.” That might please a
few but it doesn’t sound like a ball
game to us.
* * *
The meeting of the league that has
been called for Monday is going to be
a red hot one. There are several of
the Clubs that are out for blood and
there’ll be something doing down there
if they don’t look out.
* * *
Now Groover has re-instated Eu
banks. We probably are not as well
informed as to exact circumstances as
the league president is. But the rein -
statement of two catchers both guilevi
of striking an umpire, just on the eve j
of playing the Muckalees makes ’t
look like there’s a method in his mad
ness.
* * *
The Thomasville Times-En ter prise
has just discovered this truth: “When
we win it's fine baseball. When w-e
lose it’s hard luck.”
* * *
Fans are wondering why Kuhlman
didn’t yank Werner when the Valdosta
artillery opened on him. It all hap-|
pened in such a short time that Bill
didn’t have time to make up his mind
about it. And then with two dow .j
there was always the hope that the |
next hatter would be the last. Big
Chief can pitch good ball, hut he seems
to be unable to win for the Mucka
lees.
f! « *
You’ll have to hand it to Jordan for
instilling the fighting spirit in his
team. The Valdosta boys fight all the
way.

The Adonis of The Empire.
As he stands at the plate calmly
looking over the efforts of a visiting
i
siabman, Walter Brouthers, the
speed merchant of the Muckalees, re
minds one of the statue of a Greek
! athlete. Walt is endowed by nature
with the chief asset of a succesful ball
player—a good build. This boy easily
runs “the best looking man in organ
ized baseball” a race for the honors'.
Walter E., as he is entered in the
family Bible, is a native of Charles
ton, S. C. He is twenty-three years
old and so far has escaped the mat
rimonial nets that have been spread
for him. He runs up to six feet in
height and is a bundle of muscle that
weighs in the neighborhood of 160
pounds.
He came to Americus from Way
cross, where he played during the
first half of the present season.
Brouthers has played the infield all
his life up to a few days ago when
he was shifted to the outfield. He has
developed into a rival of Tris Speaker
in the outer gardens. His work is
brilliant, as he has the speed neces
sary to play the outer works proper
ly.
The records of the Empire State
league show that for the first half of
the season Brouthers led Waycross in
! securing the most hits, most runs an l
most stolen bases in the circuit. Bo
is easily in the lead as a base pil
ferer during this half of the race
With Waycross he batted .280 and h-’
is stinging the pellet as hard with
Americus.
Although Walter is a youngster he
has played professional ball for sev
eral years. Last season he was in
the southeastern league with Gads
i
den. Prior to this he cavorted around
in the Carolina circuit and the South
Atlantic league.
Dick Utter, utility, catcher for the
Muckalees, a ball manager for several
seasons, has the following to sav
about Brouthers: “That boy has a
future before him. His speed and
ability to hit in the pinches will make
him a valuable player. One of the
main things in his favor is his size.
Brouthers can stand the knocks an!
wear. He has the physique to
stand with the best of them. He'll
bear watching.
We wish Walt the best that there 's
in store for him. All we ask is that
when he helps win a big league pen
nant that he send up a comp to th.-
world’s series.
Tomorrow we will hand one to Mike
Bernstein, lour speedy little short
stop.

RUNS than we did! Now, what do
you think of that? We Bhould worry

“THE AMERICUS COLLEGE HAS
NO SUPERIOR.”
Hon. M. L. Dugan, State School Su
pervisor.
“In some respects the Third Dis
trict Agricultural College is stronger
superior to any of the other colleges
of this character that I have visited
In no respect does it appear inferioi
to them. It appears to me a wel
rounded institution along the lines
marked out for its work. I should say
with emphatic positiveness that it is
making, in fact that it has already
made, good and demonstrated that if
is here to serve a most useful purpose
in the development of Georgia.
Visited School to Find if Reports
Were True.
“I have visited several of the dis
trict colleges, have learned all I could
about them and their methods of op
eration. I had heard a great deal
about the college at Americus and de
cided to see for myself whether the
reports of the progress made there
were well founded. 1 am now satisfied
that they were. My day’s experience
at the college has removed any lin
gering doubts and has convinced me
that the Third District College has
effectually demonstrated the wisdom
of the state in creating these institu
tions. I have never seen an educa
tional institution whose work had a
closer application to the work of life'
that was better calculated to turn out
all-round men and women, full of am
bition and equipped with exact, defi
nite knowledge of a practical char
acter.”
Boys and Girls of Today, Men and
Women of Tomorrow.
(Say this on the Stage.)
When I saw for instance, one ol
the girls giving a cooking demonstra
tion and then showing what she could
do along the sewing line, and a little
later on providing some sweet pianc
music. I felt convinced, that a high
type of useful, cultured helpmates
were being educated there, womer
who will make the future Georgians a
race of able, noble men and women
And the boy, who in addition to th«
field work, can make a plow share, oi
any other tool on the farm, can turn
out and drill like a soldier, can keep
an ordinary set of books, and then
ravish the ear with sweet strains
-from a brass instrument, is pretty apf
to be a man worthy of such a woman

WITH SMALL CHANGE
Selma Ala., Aug. 8. —Burwell Hardy
lias bought a brand new runabout au
tomobile. And it is all paid for, toe.
Burwell called at a local garage a
day or two ago and asked the prices
on machines of various sizes and
types. He told the dealer he would
call again next day, which he did,
and asked to be driven over the city.
This was done. He said that he
would come again. He did next day.
Burwell told the dealer to take him
out to the little store he conducts in
East Selma and he would get the
money. This was done and Burwell
lugged out a box of money. In tho
box was $650 in nickels, dimes and
quarters, nothing larger than a “two
bit” piece.
