Although Bradley Hogg Was
Bought By Memphis From The
Cubs Sale May Not Be Legal
Several weeks ago the dispatches
carried the news that Bradley Hogg,
of Americus, the property of the Chi
cago Cubs had been sold to the Mem
phis club in the Southern league. This
news was correct —but the question
now arises as to whether Manager
Tinker, of the Cubs, had a right to
perfect this sale.
Fuzzy Woodruff, a prominent sport
ing writer had the following article in
the Atlanta Georgian of today, which
refers to the status of the Hogg affair:
It may be that our esteemed friends
in Memphis have smacked their lips
before he gentlemanly chef sent in the
fat little pig with the apple in its
mouth, as it were. By the same token
it may be that Bradley Hogg and
Pete Knisely, so firmly counted on to
add to the powers of the Chick club,
will be wearing other uniforms when
the flowers begin to bloom, the last
year’s peanuts find their way into the
ball ground sacks, and other well
known harbingers of spring arrive.
Here’s the situation: Memphis has
purchased the playing prowess of
Hogg, and it has likewise acquired the
services of Knisely from the Chicago
Cubs. The sale has been transacted
all right. The question is whether or
not Sir Joseph Tinker, M. C. C. (Man-

ager of the Cubs), had a right to make
the sale.
* *
According to advises from the wind
swept city on the shores of Lake
Michigan, Sir Joseph neglected to
ask for waivers on the former Mobile
hurler and the erstwhile Baron slug
ger before he turned them over to
Dolly Stark, down in Memphis.
Tinker, it is said, in his brief ca
reer with the Federals, forgot ell re
knew’ about the rules and regulations
of Organized Ball, the necessity for
obtaining waiv.ers on a major elague
ball player before sending him to the
minors being one of those rules he
regulations.
And both Hogg and Knisely were
members of the Chicago National
League club, a member of 0.-8., when
they were figuratively shipped South.
* «
According to these rules and regula
tions, each club in the National and
American Leagues has to waive before
the player can be properly turned over
to the minor organization. It is said
that several of the major league outgts
not only desire the opportunity to
waive when given that opportunity.
In the first place, Bradley Hogg’s
record is enough to cause any major
leaguer to look on him with lustful
eyes. Hogg has always been a win
ning pitcher since he hprned into or
ganized baseball. In the second place,
|he takes as good care of himself as
any man in the ranks of baseball ath
letes. In the third place, he is a
mighty dangerous hitter, despite the
fact that te gains most of his renown
as a pitcher.
Last year he had a most remarkable
season. He was with Mobile, a club
never out of the second division—a
club that finished a sorry seventh.
Then too, for more than a month of the
playing season ogg was on tbs s’delf
on account of sickness. In spite of all
these things, the big hurler went out
and won 22 games for his so-called
ball club and lost but a round dozen,
which is more or less of a Herculean
pitching feat in these days and times.
And it is thought that Knisely may
also be wanted in some obscure corner
cf the big tent.
Wherefore the Memphis club is all
excited, being joined in their excite
ment by the Chicago Cubs. Perhaps
there ar.e some Southern League or
ganizations that are not weeping.

WORKAT FRONT
PARIS, Feb. 16.—Many soldier-art
ists continue to pursue their art at the
front. Music, as well as painting and
sculpture, is ebing cultivated. M. Gheu
si, director of the Opera Comique, has
found no decrease in the number of
scores which reach him from all quar
ters, even from the trenches. But there
is this difference, that whereas the civ
ilian revels in martial themes the sol
dier-musician sounds the pastorial
note and seeks inspiration from nature
in her country aspects. Some of the
latter contributions are of no mean
order and there is notably one score—
an opera in three acts—which bears
the hallmarks of a masterpiece. The
production of this work will prove any
thing but costly as there are only two
scenes, the sea and a mountain pin
nacle, and three characters.
M. Gheusi was so struck by the dig
nity and masterly technique of the
score that he suspected the anonymous
author of being possibly one of the
luminaries of his profession who by
this subterfuge wished to test the
merit of his work on its face value and
t ( > compete on equal terms with his
lessknown rivals. Accordingly an as
sembly of musical Olympians was con
vened to hear a recital of the work,
but none of them could recognize the
style of any of their contemporaries.
All agreed that a new masterpiece had
been created for the glory of French
music.
None of the works submitted at pres
ent will be definitely judged before
peace is declared.

"I have just finished my third bottle
of Tanlac and have gained thirty-five
[pounds,” was the truly lemarkable
, statement made by Mrs. Wilhelmind
Joiner, wife of Richard Joiner, the well
known engineer on the M. D. & S. rail
road, residing at 115 Third street, Ma
con, Ga.
“Before I began taking the medicine
my health was so broken and I was in
such a badly run-down condition, I
couldn’t give sufficient nourishment to
my young baby—-in fact, I was com
pletely broken down in every way.
"I suffered from nervous indigestion
and have been in a general run-down
condition. In fact for nearly two years
I have suffered from nervous prostra
tion brought on by this trouble.
“I tried doctors, I tried medicines, I
tried nearly everything you could think
of trying to get relief, but it just
seemed like the harder I tried to get
well, the worse I would get. Finally
my condition got so I couldn’t eat any
solid food of any kind without suffer
ing tortue. It just looked like I was
on the verge of a physical decline, and j
sometimes I almost despaired of ever
getting well and strong again.
“That’s just the condition I was in
when I begin taking Tanlac, and it
wasn’t any time hardly after I began
taking it before I began to improve.
My nerves got better at once and I got
sc I could enjoy a good night’s sleep.
Then my appetite returned, and it just
looked like I couldn’t get enough to
eat. I could just eat anything put on
the table, and everything seemed to
taste good and nourish me. And the
baby, why, you just ought to see it. It
is just thriving and is getting plenty of
nourishment. My complexion has
cleared up, too, and I have a good col
or now ofr the first time in years. Be
fore I began taking this Tanlac I was
as yellow as a lemon.
“My husband thinks there is no med
icine on earth like Tanlac, and my
friends are all talking about how I j
have improved. lam not only too glad
to tell you what it has done for me, as
it has been nothing short of a blessing
in my case.”
Tanlac is sold by leading druggists
in all principal cities of the South.
Tanlac is sold exclusively in Ameri

Women Want
Their Hats
From Paree
VIENNA, Feb. 16. —“Ladies in our
first circles of society,” says a memor
ial from the Vienna Milliners’ Associa
tion to the government, “still insist, in
the present terrible times, on wearing
Paris hats and will buy no others.”
The resolution adopted by the millin
ers’ association further declares that
many Viennese milliners are bringing
hats from Switzerland and offering
them as French models. The associa
tion appeals to the government to
punish the offending milliners, declar
ing that their conduct "injures patri
otic sentiment, lowers our standard
abroad damages all honest-dealing
trades people, and renders illusory all
the attempts of the state to make us
economically independent of foreign
countries.”
The Vienna Tailors' and Dressmak
ers’ Association has sent a similar
memorial to the government, pointing
cut that Paris houses have established
branches in Switzerland where gowns
and frocks are made from Swiss silks
which pass the Austrian frontier as
Swiss goods, but become French when
they reach the Vienna stores.

Port Soudan Is One The Fine
Deoelopments In Dark World
WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 16.
“Built to contract under a capable mil
itary trade brought about by the de
velopment of the primitive Central Af
rican hinterland, Port Soudan, just ten
years old, is one of the great latter
day achievements toward the reclaim
ing of the Dark Continent for the
white man and civilization. More than
this, however; it is a strategic link in
the Empire, fitted so well into the
chain that, today, it is one of the
most important factors in the defense
o.’ Egypt's back door," according to a
statement recently issued by the Na
tional Geographic Society.
“Port Soudan is a brand new harbor,
planned in all the details of its con
struction and outfitting, and, then,
builded as a whole. It was a success
wul port from the first, and it is now
better prepared to handle a mad rush
of war business than most of the ports
in the Middle East . Though this port,
should it be necessary for the defense
of lower Egypt, Gerat Britain might
pour all of the strength of her Indian
Empire without any such fear of a
traffic jam as that realized by muni
tions import at Vladivostock. Army
supplies and troops might be handled
in any quantity there, the most modern
port on the Red Sea, which, with Alex
andria, the Mediterranean horbor,
forms the two great sea-links in Brit
'ish-Egyptian-Indian empire.
“A railway line connects the port
with the Wady Haifa, on the Nile,
whence, by steamer and rail, it is con
nected with Cairo and the ports of
Lower Egqpt. The railway was opened
in 1906, and the stimulus that it
brought to the country went a long
way toward justifying British con
fidence in the future of the Soudan.
The railway has a terminus, also, at
I’ort Suakin, a less suitable harbor a
litt’.a to the south of the made-to-con
irast city.
“Mecca, the Holy City of the Moh
ammedian World, lies, a little to the
north, across the Red Sea from Port
Soudan. The port is 700 miles by
boat south of Suez, the southeastern
terminus of the great canal, and 495
miles by rail northast Krartum. It is
situated on arid plain, backed by a
fringe of hills, and barren save for
mimosa thorns. The climate is very
hot and damp, full of fever-danger ffor
the European ,and this has proved the
greatest drawback to the city.
“Soudan was planned in 1905. Its
lying out and equipping went forward
steadily until 1909, by which time the
Government had spent more than $4,-
500,000 on the town and harbor works.
Commodious docks outfitted with elec
tric cranes and other up-to-date har
bor machiner.y together with admin
istrative and storage buildings, were
constructed according to generous
specifications.
"The new port was a successful ven
ture from the start, doing a business of
more than $2,000,000 in the first year
of its existence. By the outbreak of
ths war, it was handling a rapidly
growing business of about twice the
amount in value of its first year’s
work. Raw cotton, ivory, sesame,
durra, skins, gum, and senna, the
Soudan’s leading products, constituted
the new port’s exports, and its im
ports were mostly, manufacturers and
timber.”
HOW TO REGAIN SERENGTH
The great factor that retards re
covery after sickness is that weak
ened, devitalized condition, and it will
interest our readers to know that our
local druggists, Hooks’ Pharmacy,
have a reliable non-secret strength?
creator called Vinol, which contains
iron for the blood, the curative medi
cinal extractives of fresh cod livers
and the nourishing properties of beef
peptone, all combined in a delicious
native wine. For weak, run-down con
ditions and to regain strength after
sickness there is nothing better.
