Interesting Sport Items
Gathered Here and There
The race for honors in all leagues
is waxing warm.
The most surprising development of
the past week was the showing made
by the Nashville club of the Southern
League, followed closely by the team
battling for New Orleans.
Nashville was considered during the
preliminary practices to have the
weakest team in the circuit, but since
the opening of the season they have
held mid-season form, and are playing
the best ball in the Southern associa
tion. Aside from the fact that their
pitching staff is rather weak, this team
should keep right up in the running.
The Pelicans are creating no sur
prise over their showing. Before the
opening they were conceded to be a
strong aggregation and their record of
seven wins and two defeats is not at all
surprising.
Atlanta with Charley Frank guiding
the club is away off form, but after a
bit of time this superb lot of ball
tossers should develop into pennant
contenders.
The feat of Birmingham in packing
twelve thousand people into the ball
park for the opening game is unusual
iii the South. But this was no record
for that great Alabama city. Last year
the high mark was reached when near,
ly thirteen thousand people paid for
the privilege of seeing the club per
form. Atlanta had a crowd of over
eleven thousand, and really that is
quite some crowd. New Orleans des
pite her greatness in failed
to cop the cup for attendance.
The local baseball system for a while
hinges in the great series to be played
here by Mercer and Auburn.
It is estimated that the largest
crowd ever packed into Dudley Field
I will gather for these games, and it is
r.und to be a great advertising medium
to the city, when a great crowd gathers
for the festivities.
The Americus High school rested
Monday after the brilliant contests of
Friday and Saturday. Coach Holst an
n ounces himself as elated over the
prospects for the locals, and is confi
dent that the Americus people will sup
port the team.
Everybody’s playing it, talking.

It is a family tradition with him. One of his ancestors used to meet Henry
Clay at the Old French Market, New Orleans, and discuss the affairs of the
day over a cup qf French Market Coffee—the famous Old Secret Blend.
Today he has the same identical blend served at his own table. He wants
to be so sure of always having it that he orders a hundred pounds of
French Market Coffee at a time.
For a hundred years the secret of French Market Coffee has remained a
| secret. All attempts of others to duplicate it have failed. The secret is in the
expert blending of famous coffees from different parts of the world, and in

MURRAY’S PHARMACY
you might say. And that “it” is base
ball. Everybody’s talking about the
coming Mercer-Auburn struggle, every
kid in Americus is playing it, and
everybody is thinking of the pennant
chasers in all the leagues.
The kids opened their season Mon
day with a mammoth struggle between
the Prince Street Sluggers and the
Hast Americus Champs at Dudley Field
and certainly it was a battle of the im
mortals. For nine innings these young
exponents of the game who are allow
ing Ty Cobb to become president of
many banks, threw epithets at his
umps, and cracwed the horsehide all
in Aunt Mollie’s back yard next to the
park Monday. And they certainly
knew how to do both things.
The boys from East Americus smear
ed it all over their opponents of Prince
(street and the score, 5 to 1, tells the
tale of a manly fight. Pantone, the
i
southpaw twirler from the district out
by the cemetery, had everything at
his disposal, and ten of the sluggers
from Prince way fell victims to his
.might.
Slade, the pitcher for the Sluggers,
showed lot of stuff, but his teammates
were unable to connect when hits
meant runs. The only feature of the
contest was when Bolton of the Slug
gers cracked a three-base clout to
deep center. Monahan, catcher for
the East Americus lads, played a very
good game, although his batting was
way off.

will be continued to the High school
auditorium, where the speaking exer
icises will be carried out. At the con
delusion of the exercises here the pa
rade will be joined by the High school
students, and from thence the march
will proceed to the cemetery for the
conclusion of the exercises.
Right here we would say that the
ladies composing the Daughter of the
Confederacy, and who have the Mem
orial exercises in charge have deviated
somewhat from their usual custom by
having the exercises in the forenoon.
This is for the reason that it is better
mid more convenient for those old
veterans living in the country to at
tend.
The program is detail is as follows
Music —Pickens’ Orchestra.
Song, “Maryland, My Maryland.”
Prayer—Rev. Lansing Burrows.
Introduction of Speaker—Mr. Harry
Hawkins.
Address—Rev. C. B. Wilmer, of At
lanta.
Song, “The Faded Coat of Grey.”
Music—Pickens’ Orchestra.
Delivery of Crosses or Honor—Mrs.
frank P. Harrold, president of Daugh
ters of the Confederacy.
Song, “Tenting Tonight.”
eßnediction—Rev. J. A. Thomas.
Music —Pickens’ Orchestra.
The members of the D. A. R. are re
quested to meet at the Library at 10
o’clock Wednesday morning to go in a
body to the cemetery. Automobiles
will be furnished for carrying the
party.
HUDSON IS IN THE
CITY FOR CfflPIN
According to announcement already
made, Marshall A. Hudson, of Syra
cuse, N. Y., was in the city today and
addressed the Baraca and Philathea
societies of the Baptist churches in
the city this afternoon at Furlow Lawn
Baptist church.
The following program had been
■.prepared, and was rendered.
Program.
Meeting called to order by Mrs. Jes
sie Hyman Lown.
Song by Congregation, “Showers of
Blessings.”
Prayer—Mrs. Luther Lott.
Chorus Song by Choirs.
Introduction of Speaker, Marshall
A. Hudson, by Mrs. Sam Edge.
Solo —Miss Melva Clark.
Philathea Song—Congregation.
Closing Prayer—Rev. R. L. Bivins.
Prior to the exercises at the church
in the afternoon, at 10 o’clock this
morning the speaker was treated to an
automobile ride over the city. He
expressed himself as charmed with
Americus and delighted over the at
tention and cordial reception accord
ed him by the citizens and the Baraca
[ Philathea unions.
j A large number of visiting members
of other Baraca and Philathea unions
are in the city attending these exer
cises. Mr. Hudson will speak again
at the First Baptist church this even
ing.
and the government requires speedy
means of communication with the
northern country. The route has al
ready been surveyed, but because of
the lack of funds no construction work
has been done. The probable cost of
the line is $12,000,000 Mexican. Part
of this sum will be realized from the
profits of the Peking-Mukden and the
Peking-Hankow government railways,
and the remainder will be made up by
the flotation of a short-term loan.
