HIGH SQUAD OUT
FOR BASEBALL
Roland Broadhurst Is
Named Captain; Olin
Perkins, Manager
The Americus High school lads
have started baseball practice and
for the past week the playground dia
mond has been a scene of activity.
Nearly all the hoys in school have
turned out and are trying to make
the team, and out ol the lot an ex
cellent nine should be picked.
Officers for the team were elected
at school, Roland Broadhurst being j
picked to captain the team and Olin
Perkins named manager.
Captain Broadhurst states that he
has prospects for a strong infield,
some of the players out for these
positions being so good that lie will
be puzzled as to whom to give reg
ular berths. The pitching staff
looks promising, two or three young
sters showing up wilh good speed
and curves. The outfield has many
candidates, most of whom are show
ing up well, according to the cap
tain.
Altogether the 'prospect for a
cracker-jack high school nine for
Americus is good and the Americus
boys say that they are open for
games with any high nine in South
Georgia .
HE FEELS FINER
THAN IN YEARS
At Age of 93 Wichita Man Ob
tains Wonderful Benefits 1 ronti
Tanlac.
“Not in years have I enjoyed such
good health or felt so well generally
as I do since taking Tanlac,” said
Benjamin Boyce, 901 Spaulding St.,
Wichita, Kan., a well-known retired
farmer.
"I am now eighty-three years old
and I hudn’t expected to ft el as well
again as I do since taking Tanlac;
and I must say 1 have never seen
anything to equal it for building a
man up. For ten years I gradually
went down hill and finally became
very weak. I had no appetite, and
what little 1 did eat lay heavy on
my stomach like a lump of lead and
caused ine misery for hours.
“Well, 1 heard so much about
Tanlac I decided to try it and see if
it would bring me back to myself,
and it certainly has done a fine job.
A few days after 1 started taking
the medicine my appetite got better,
so I kept on taking it until now 1 am
getting along fine. My appetite is
good, I am never troubled with indi
gestion and have also gained a lot
of strength. 1 have recommended
Tanlac to a number of my fiiends,
and sevei-al have taken it with good
results.”
Tanlac is sold in Americus by
Carswell Drug Co., and in Sumter
by Ewing Mercantile Co. adv

THE AMERICUS TIMES-RECORDER.
AMERICUS HIGH
DOWNS ALBANY
Win Fast Game Here By
Score Os 45 I o
30
Tfle Americus High school basket
ball five routed ti e Albany five at
the Salvation Army gym here Sat
urday night by a score of 45 to 30.
The game was hard fought, in the
first half both teams fighting for first
place with the score close, but when
Americus opened up in this last half
—good-bye Albany. Americus rang
more goals in the last half than Al
bany got in the whole game, making
34 points in this period.
Albany got the first goal of the
game, giving Americas fans a scare.
Americus got a foul goal a few min
utes later followed by a field by Al
bany. Scoring then see-sawed back
and forth, first Americus getting a
goal and then Albany. The half end
ed with the score 16 to 11 in favor
of Albany.
Americus lads, in the rest period,
decided that in the next half they
would defeat their old rivals or die
trying. They were considerably weak
ened by losing their star guard, Fet
ner, who was injured in the early
part of'the first half but when the
second half was called they went into
the game with all they were worth.
The tide was turned thiere, the first
part of this half giving Americus
an additional 18 points while the best
the visitors could do was to secure
four points. This gave Americus a
score of 29 to Albany’s 20. In the
last quarter the Albany lads recover
ed a little from the daze caused by
the fast, and brilliant playing of the,
locals in the previous quarter and
tried desperately to even up the
score. Though they did better in this
quarter than in 1 e disastrous third,
their efforts were in vain, Americus
going still further in the lead, run
ning lip sixteen points more to the
visitors’ 10, making the final score
45 to 30 in favor of the local lads.
The game was fast and clean from
the start to finish and many brilliant,
plays were made by both sides.
A return game will be played the
Albany lads next Friday.
The lineup;
Americus —Wooten and Perkins,
forwards; Glover, center; Fetfier and
Williams, guards; Johnson, Wallis
and Dudley, subs. Albany—Smith
and Hall, forwards; Harper, center;
