AfteaL The Sport World With Local Color Dished Time to Time It is not often afforded the fans of any city, no matter how large, to see the ball games Americus will see dur ing the Elks’ convention, when the warriors of Auburn tackle the Baptists . from Macon. Advance dope seems to point to a victory for the Alabama boys ! but if there is any such animal as re ■; liable dope in a college baseball game, we would enjoy seeing it. That sight will never come, because there is no ‘such creature. College men when they hit the diamond, are eager for honors, and they’re going to get them if the re gion of which Dante told about freezes over. Dope in this series of games will count for nothing-. Everything that has been said of Auburn’s sluggers can ' be off-set by some feature of Mercer’s, |work. ’Tis said that Auburn possesses ( the best pitcher in the South in Suggs, but nothing has been said of J Mercer’s freshman twirler, Ashby Fuss. People who are willing to back Auburn seem to think that Suggs is simply the whole cheese. They make their assertion on the fact that Suggs won from, the University of Georgia team and did not seein to lealize that in the Mercer-Georgia game, this same Ashby Fuss gave the Georgians only one hit, and that was a measly little Texas leaguer. It is true that Auburn defeated Tech, while Mercer went down in defeat to the same club. But that is no certainty that Mercer will not be able to hold her own when the games are called in Americus. Whether Mercer wins or loses, the fans of the surrounding country will see some of the best games ever play ed anywhere. And while the dope points to Auburn, the supporters of Mercer are willing to bank their last ; wheel on the Macon university. It is believed that the Mercer pitchers will be able to offset any advantage the i Auburn men might have in batting. It will be a masters’ struggle, sure enough, if Fuss and Suggs tie up for one of the games. "UNCLE JIM" IS "GUSSIN” WHILE HIS OPPONENTS LWGH ATLANTA, Ga.„ April 22.—’•Uncle Jim” Woodward's attempt to withhold payment of the $135,000 balance due on Atlanta’s famous crematory has fur nished a lot of copy for the newspa pers and cost the city of Atlanta $50,-1 COO or more, as the company erecting' the plant has won its case before Judge W, T. Newman of the United Slates district court, and the city must not only pay the principal sum unpaid, but also pay 7 per cent, interest on this amount for a year and a half, pay the company for operating the plant since it was built, and pay the costs of the litigation, which will be several thousand dollars, “Uncle Jim’s” political opponents are enjoying a lound resounding laugh at his expense, and “Uncle Jim” is cuss ing and vowing the city will fight the case all the way to the United States supreme court, and then some, before it will ever pay, NOTHING FOUND IN TRUNKS OF INKS ATLANTA, Ga., April 22. —Nothing i has been found in the trunks of Victor E Innes and his wife, in jail here, awaiting trial for larceny after trust in cinneetion with the mysterious dis appearance of the Nelms sisters, to connect them with the sisters after they left Atlanta on the trip from | which they never returned. I The reported finding of clothing of I the sisters in the trunks of Innes and his wife was completely exploded fate ■yesterday when Mrs. Mary Ellis, the dressmaker reported to have identified certain dresses and other articles ot wearing apparel, declared she was sor ry she ever got mixed up in the affair, ard then left the city. Mrs. Ellis' sudden notion to take her departure was the result of a message from Solicitor Hugh Dorsey, who is Americus people might think that High school baseball is not good enough to satisfy their love for the na tional pastime, but if they had witness ed the game Friday between the Amer icus High school and the Columbus In dustrials, their opinion would have changed all around. These young sters went after the old ball game like' big leaguers, and the score, 1 to 0, is proof enough that the few people pres ent received their money’s worth. Johnson struck out seventeen of the Columbus boys, and if that is not evi dence enough that the game was a good one, there is one other thing left: The game was played in one hour an I five minutes. Now, where can better ' ball be found anywhere? The locals have the best team in their history and they deserve the unstinted support of the fans of the city. It is a matter o' ' great expense to bring visiting teams here; that is, the teams who have an established reputation, and those are the only ones that local management feels inclined to bring to Americus. It has always been true that Americus loves a winner. Then let’s support these High school boys who have a team worthy the support of any city. If the fans of Americus only do their share, the Americus High school team will spread the fame of the city throughout the whole state. The championship of the S. I. A. A. seems to rest between Mercer and Au burn, and Americus will be given the opportunity to witness the struggle of the giants. This is not often afforded a city of Americus’ size and the fact' should be appreciated by all fans of; the city. It is going to be expensive to the management of the two teams, and if everybody turns out and swells the gate receipts, it will be a very good advertisement to the city. Be sides the games will be the best played in the South this year, and we should all go to see the contests. Let the motto be: “Be seeing you at the ball games." prosecuting the Innes, asking her to come to his office, presumably to tell what she knew about the contents of the Innes' trunks. Mrs. John M. Nelms, mother of the missing girls, yesterday admitted that there had been no positive identifica tion of anything in the Innes’ trunks as belonging to her daughters.

CATCH MAILS WITHOUT GLOCK 00 THE CLERKS I ATLANTA, Auril 22.—1 tis a mys- Aery how the clerks in the Atlanta I postoffice catch the trains with out going mail. They must be so well trained that they know the time of day by instinct, like fire horses know when they are going to be fed and paw the floor, or like farmer’s mules know when the dinner bell ought to ring and refuse to plow another furrow. For the clocks in the Atlanta federal building only run when an expert from the factory comes all the way to Atlanta to examine the works of the master clock in the basement. This clock runs all the clocks in the build ing, or is supposed to run them. But the custodian says the master clock is a regular snare and a delusion. “Dead again," he reported yesterday, just 24 hours after the factory expert had greased the machinery and caught a train back to the factory.

SALE OF GRAND OPERA TICKETS ATTEST PROSPERITY ATLANTA, Ga., April 22.—A return of prosperity to Atlanta, to Georgia! and to neighboring states is attested by the large sale of tickets to the week of grand opera in Atlanta next Monday night. Comparisons of re ceipts in past seasons show that the ! sale of tickets has always reflected the' status of the public purse. In pros-' perous years the receipts have been heavy, while in lean years, the ticket' sale has fallen off. There has never been a season, however, when the re ceipts were not more than sufficient to cover the guarantee fund pledged by' citizens of Atlanta. The seventh annual season will open ' Monday night with “Samson and Del ilah,” the famous opera written around the story of Samson and Delilah in the Fible. Among the stars in the Metro politan who will sing in various roles . are Farrar, Caruso, Alda, aßrrientos, Scotti and others. Atanta is preparing for a week of great musical enjoyment i and social gayety, with thousands of visitors in the city and a continuous 1 I round of functions.

Allison Furniture Company DANGER OF FIRES SHEJOOGHT OUT ATLANTA, Ga., April 22.—-Electric light bulbs attached to long wornout cords and left burning in places where paper and trash may set fire anj' moment by the heat of the burning bulb, piles of rags swept behind base ment doors and allowed to stay there until spontaneous combustion is likely to start from decay, matches scattered promiscuously in dark corners, furn aces fired carelessly and gas jets kept burning all hours of the night—these and many other flagrant instances of carelessness and neglect have teen exposed by Fire Chief Cody of Atlanta in a thorough inspection of the Geor gia state capitol, following two fires within ten days that threatened the destruction of the building. The people of Georgia need not be surprised, according to the fire chief, to wake up most any morning and read in the newspapers that their state capitol and all of its contents have gone up in smoke. The legislature has provided for the issuance of only meager insurance on the building, has provided none of the ordinary safe-guards against fire that building laws require in every city and has not even made an appro priation to employ a watchman to make his rounds of the building at night. The capitol is simply locked up and left alone at night, as a man n ight lock a worthless out house, and everybody trusts to luck that it won't catch fire. That it has not burned is a marvel. HJTTIE MM SAID HE Dlb. COURT SAID NO Hattie May Armstrong, an ebony reed damsel of the most notorious kind, will have to stand trial for ly ing, or in legal lore, perjury. It was so decided by Judge McMath at a trial be fore him Friday afternoon. Hattie had been the means of having a warrant issued for Walter Mathis, of ebony hue also, charging him with being a most disorderly “pusson.” The evidence against him, however, was not sufficient to hold, but on the other hand was so strong that Hattie May lied, that she roust now stand trial for doing so.
