Thomasville Team Pulls Several Bone Head Plays, Harley Stars in Field. Hawkins Gets Home Run in Ninth With One On Base. (By Dick Utter.) Thomasville, Ga., Aug. 30. — (Spec ial) —Valdosta took the second game of the post-season series this after noon, by a score of five to two. VanLandingham, the first man up, started the run-getting with a home run over centerfield fence, and from that time until the end of the ninth, the Valdosta crew pounded Day har! and consistently, getting safe hits in every inning, except one. The game was replete with snappy fielding ani the terrific clouting by both clubs were features Hurley’s one-handed stab of Murch s line drive, completing a double, and Walker’s good work in the pinches gave a touch of spice to the contest. The Thomasville team was outclass ed and outpla'yed at every stage cf the game. Dumb playing with men on bases, lost Thomasville several goo! chances to score. Hawkins hit for a home run with one on in the ninth.

He agrees with the T. R. dope ster on several picks: Manchester and Dudley, c. Davenport lb. Jordan, 2b. Bowen, 3b. Murphy, ss. Hawkins, If. Hurley, cf. Chancey, rs. VanLandingham, utility. Hartner, Wilder, Fillingem and Winges, p. That is a corking good bunch. Unofficial averages credit Chance' 1 with leading the league in the number of hits secured. The little Muckalee bingled safely 132 times. Otto Jordan runs him a close second with 130 hits. The following batting averages sot the teams in the league have been fur nished the T.-R. by Billy Humber. Billy has kept up with the games of the lea gue since its organization, and is one of the chief assets the town of Ameri cus has in the way of a fan: Team— Am H. Pa.

During the reg ular season for such a thing to happen j would be out of the ordinary but when a team of youngsters manage to play two games in a championship series without a bobble, then it speaks well for whatever force is the steadying fac tor of the team. We’ll have to had u to Otto, for he is the guy that makes the kids play winning ball. Otto Jordan demonstrated the fact that he has an eye for the future when he signed up Utter for the post seas-m series. Although he has not used Dick so far in either of the two games th?t have been played, still- he is there to go in should anything happen to Van- Landingham. THE AMERICUS DAILY TIMES-RECORDER.

G. Spalding, Pop Anson, Buck Ewing and others have been called the father of baseball by different sport writers. 'But whenever baseball is mentioned in Americus none of these gentlemen of the old school are thought of in that capacity. The fa ther of “good baseball” in Americus at least, still lives here with us. The players on the local Muckalee team would have rather played a game with only six men in the field than to have started a contest without Dr. M. K. Ford in the park. "Doc”, as he is affectionately known to the boys anl to the fans, was considered an ome.i of good luck by each and every one of the Muckalees. Tow years ago when “Doc” moved to Americus the town had been at tempting to have a ball team every year. They had had a team, but de feats were more common than victor ies. Then came the genial tooth ex tractor and with him came report •: from Troy, Alabama, as to his ability as a manage#- of ball tossers. The out come of it all was that he was asked to take charge of the local team and try and give the fans of the town a winner. And he did it. The first year he had charge of the Muckalees the home boys won 47 games and lost 6 and the next year their record was equally as good. Certain ball players have "Doc” to' thank for their discovery. Wilde-. Swink, Calmes, Howell, who recently sold for $3,000; McClesky, who brought $2,000; Lee, Baker, Bope, Robinson and Red McLendon, who broke into the semi-pro ranks and learned the rudi- I ments of the game under the little dentist. The people of Alabama, the place “Doc” first saw the light, claim that a perfectly good Hans Wagner was spoiled when he went off to attend the Southern Dental college to study how to fill teeth, even if he did make such a good dentist that he was appointed an instructor in his college his senior year. They still tell how the little fel-j low managed and played short on the all star team gotten up by the Plant System railroad to advertise the sys tem. But the profession that he chose gained a polished and conscien j tious gentleman whin “Doc” entered its ranks. Dr. Ford is not only an' ardent fan but he is strong in local fraternal cir cles. As an officer in the local Knighis of Pythias and Woodmen of the World lodges he has been a strong factor in their development. He- is also a mem ber of the Elks’ club. Dr. Ford is also prominent in den tal circles of the South. For several years he was president of the South Alabama Dental association and just prior to his removal from Alabama to Americus he was appointed on the state board of dental examiners. The genial little baseball devotee is pre paring to move into new quarters in the Bell building, right across from, the postoffice. Since he located in Americus his business has steadily In- , creased, making it necessary that he j move into larger and better rooms. When the 1914 Empire season opens in Americus the first man on the local lot will be "Doc" Ford, and the first man that the players will look up will be the same genial little felow. 1— i Removal Notice. On and after September Ist my den tal offices will be located in the Bell building, opposite the postoffice ani near Howell’s Pharmacy. advt-2-75t. M. K. FORD, Dentist. !
