Venture; To Net About S3OO
jg Besides Permanent Seats
Approximately 2,000 persons at
tended the Detroit-Rochester exhi
bition baseball game at the Play
ground Tuesday afternoon. The
gante was staged by the Playground
association, with the backing of the
three civic clubs of tile city which
signed the guarantee, as a benefit
affair for the Playground. The to

968.80. The two visiting baseball
clubs received $577.62 each for a to
tal of $1,155.22. This left a gross
balance for the Playground of
$81:1.56.
Under the contract with the base
ball management/- the visitors were
guaranteed S7OO, but were to re

admission ticket sales. The Play
ground was to receive the next S3OO
and all over that amount was to be
equally divided. The visitors, by pre
vious arrangement, did not share in
the receipts of the reserved seat sale,
which amounted to $351.75, or more
than enough to pay all the cost of the
seating, including the permanent
stands which will be left on the
grounds. All of the 1,184 reserved
seats except 94 were sold, these be
ing withdrawn when the late crowd
rushed the grand stands and check

MUCHGOLDEN
RULE TRADING
Merchants Report Good Business,
Particularly From Out Os
Town
The Golden Rule sale yesterday,
which had been moved up one day
from the regular first Wednesday to
Tuesday because of the baseball
game, proved a splendid success in
practically all the stores heard from,
it was impossible to make thc rounds
and completely check-up the remits,
bui those merchants interviewed by
ciiance all reported good business and
most of them extraordinary trade.
Following are those reporting:
“We had a tremendous day, one
of the best days we have ever nad,”
said Chas. L. Anslcy, this morning.
“In fact 1 do not know of any day
in five years when we had so many
people to call and to wait on. Dur
ing the afternoon we could not wait
on tne customers. The men went
to the game but the women stayed
in tov/n to shop. We had customers
from Cuthbert, Montezuma, Dawson
and other towns some distance away.
We are more than pleased. We are
delighted with our day."
‘ From 6:30 yesterday morning un
til 7:OJ o'clock last night,” .J. E.
Hightower of Hightower & Taylor’s
Fashion Shop, said, “we had our
hand:; full, there was not a minute
in the day that we could stop. Wom
en came from everywhere.” And
W. L. Taylor stated “it was the be3t
day of our business—we are tired
out, but happy.” One thing seems
absolutely certain, and that is that
Americus is extending her trade ter
ritory. We are seeing faces 4>e nev
er saw before. People are coming
here in response to our advertising
from long distances. “As an evi
dence of the crowd,” Mr. Hightower
said, K I ran out to the Playground
during the game, just to count the
automobiles. I counted 475 on three
streets and there were cars inside
tile grounds and over beyond the rail
road 1 did not count. There coqid
not have been less than 500 to 550
cars out there.”
"We had a fine day and were
very well pleased,” said C. C. Wil
liams, of the Williams-Niles Hard
ware company. “Our trade was
about 50-50 between town and out
of-town people. Our garden hose
special sold out before the day was
over and we supplied buyers out of
other stock at the advertised price.
The trade kept up well all day until
the ball game, and then was brisk
after the game.”
“We sold four of our special porch
rockcrr, before breakfast, and all
were gone by ten o’clock. We could
have sold a dozen or two more if we
had ordered them. Four went to
Richland people.” This was thc re
port of Ed Gyles of the Gyles-An
drews Furniture company, one of the
enthusiastic supporters of the Gold
en Rule sale plan, which has report
ed good business in every sale thus
far.
The Rylander Shoe company had
a good day's business, D. It. Andrews
reported. Practically all the trading
was from outside of Americus.
Churchwell's had a splendid day’s
general sales. The men’s wear had
a lighter trade than the side in which
the women shopped, Manager Royal
reported. Sales during the baseball
game, he said, amounted to fully

DETROIT TIGERS
BADLY TROUNCE
STALLINGS’ MEN
Cobb Sprains Ankle In Americus
Game, But Gets 4 Hits In
5 Times
The following story of Tuesday's
exhibition game at thc Playground
between Detroit and Rochester was
written for the Times-Recorder and
the Detroit Free Press by Harry Bul
lion, of the Free Press staff, who was
official scorer of the game;
BY HARRY BULLION
Sporting Writer, Detroit Free Pres*.
Employing 16 hits to excellent pur
pose the Detroit TigPl’s Tuesday aft
ernoon administered their most de
cisive defeat of the spring series to
Rochester, 10 to 3.
Bert Cole, who went the whole
route for Manager Cobb, weakened
in the eighth and ninth, where, in
the first of these periods thc Rust
lers avoided a scoreless beating with
a single run and in the closing stanza
grouped a single and two triples for
two more markers.
There is no telling to what length
the Bengals would have carried the
atrocities on Stalling’s men had the
former miracle man failed to make
a good guess with his third pitcher,
Meador.
Keenan and Leonard were pound
ed unmercifully and while Cole re
mained strong it merely became a
question of how great a total the
Tigers would compile and how long
it would require the minor leaguers
to dent the plate.
Stallings took Keendn off the hill
at the conclusion of the fourth in
ning, by which time he had been
shamefully abused and Leonard, the
relief gunner, didn’t fare a great
deal better. With the introduction
of Meador, though, the artillery fire
stopped almost entirely.
Johnny Bassler and Lou Blue were
the only men in Cobb’s cast who fail
ed to participate in the slugging jubi
j lee. Even Cole, a pitcher who isn’t
supposed to carry a bat to the plate
except that the rules require it, add
ed to the discomfiture of the young
moundsmen who struggled to.please
their ranting manager on the bench.
Race for Honor*.
Cobb and Fothergiil ran a merry
race for batting honors, with the
iaurels finally resting on the brow of
the Georgian, although in the num
ber of jolts to untenanted spots Bob
tied Ty. In the Peach’s collection
wore a pair of doubles, however while
the Rochester graduate confined his
efforts to three singles and one blow
of the single extra base variety.
Afield the Tigers were not so
strong as in Monday’s game, but the
way the clubber’s took toe holds and
massaged thc leather an airtight de
fense wasn’t necessary. Emory Rig
ney was the principal offender with
two “boots,” while Cutshaw contrib
uted one.
Rochester’s defensive merit was of
a cleaner character than the Tigers’
but with them it was either a case
of the Tigers nailing the horsehide
straight at somebody or nowhere
near enough to be intercepted.
Liberties taken with Cole’s deliv
ery were limited, however. Bert
didn’t get away with much eclat in
the first inning, where he was solved
for a single and a double without
yielding a score, but thereafter or,
until two were out in the seventh the
sum total of the Rustlers’ achieve
ment., with the stick was one hit and
the lean southpaw set six of the en
emy down on strikes.
in th<’ seventh the strenuousness
of his toil began to exact toll, though
and a pair of singles bunched with an
error by Cutshaw scored a welcome
run for Stallings and in the ninth a
single by Archdeacon and triples
looped over the outfields’ heads by
Brady and Mcrkle accounted for two
more.
Detroit Starts Eearly.
Detroit started early to profit by
the inviting mark Keenan offered.
Cutshaw singled and doubles by
Cobb and Fothergiil followed for two
runs. Rigney opened the second with
a double to left, but he expired in a
double play with Cole after Bassler
sacrificed.
The second and third were dull pe
riods, but in the fourth singles by
Fothergiil, Mohardt, Rigney and
Cole, with a weird heave by Pearce
netted three more runs. Thn* f’nish
ed Keenan, who yielded to Leonard,
a big right-hander. Cutshaw greet
ed the second gunner with a double
to left and Cobb scored the ex-Pirate
with a single to right. Then while
Feathergill took a cut at the third
strike Cobb stole second and scored
standing up on Jones’s belt for a
base to center.
Leonard got by the sixth without
trouble, but everything was done to
him in the next round before he
could get a man out. He hit Cut
shaw to start the inning and Cobb
doubled George to third base. Foth
ergiil scored Cutshaw and sent Cobb
to third with a single to center. Bob
moved up on the throw and scored
immediately after on Jones’es double
to right.
That concluded the Tigers’ scoring,
but qp to that time the Rustlers were
still wondering when their first run
would arrive. It occurred in the
eighth on Cutshaw’s error behind a
lift to Murray and singles introduc
ed by Pool and Pearce.
By that time Cole was sagging at
the knees and plainly tired. He en

jNOTES OF THE i
BIG BALL GAME)
; l
Seeral small boys who squatted cm
the ground along the side lines to
watch the game had several hard foul
balls bounced o*f their ribs, but none
were hurt. TuC only distressing ac
cident was when an infielder, try
ing for a double play, overthrew to
first base and struck Edward Heys
eleven-year-old son of Mr. and
-M+mt -<>wycL Buchanan, on the cheek
below the right eye. Several physi
cians were on hand immediately and
the little fellow given emergency
treatment aim sent home. The De
troit physician gave him a league
baseball as a keepsake, which he took
home, it partly compensating for
missing half the game.
J. Ralston Cargill, president of the
Playground association, pitched the
first ball and Umpire Johnson gave
it to hi rnas a souvenir.
Col. W. A. Dodson, who has been
ill for a couple of weeks, but has
been getting out a bit for a few days,
was permitted to drive his car onto
the grounds and saw the game from
it, he being the only one accorded
this privilege.
Chief Bragg, on a spotted pony,
was on the job as traffic chief and
handled the job to perfection, as
sisted by his force of dependable
men.
The autographed baseball, bearing
the signatures of both Cobb and
Sjallings, donated for the benefit of
the Playground, was auctioned by
President Cargill and we/it to E. L.
Simpson, of Smithville, for $12.50.
C. J. Clark was on the job, with
a corps of helpers, in charge of the
drink stand at the grounds. He also
had general charge of the stands up
tovyn, with able corps of ladies and
men doing the selling.
All thc grand stand reserved seats
except 94 were sold, these being tak
en off sale when the crowd had ap
parently filled the stands. It became
apparent after the crowd was seated
that too little room had been allow
ed for each person, making the stands
less comfortable than 'they should
have been.
Barlow and Hill streets were roped
off for a block on each side of the
Playground, eliminating traffic con
gestion there.
“Much credit and appreciation is
due the ticket sellers, who remain
ed on the fobs, denying themselves
the pleasure of seeing the game,”
the chairman of the ticket sellers
said. “George Marshall, George An
derson, H. M. Sellers, O. C. John
son, H. B. Mashburn, Walter Ry
lander, R. B. Hightower, J. A. Walk
er, Jack McArthur, Lewis Ellis, and
Mrs. Lovelace Eve were on the job
from 1 until after the game, under
the able supervision of Emory Ry
lander who had charge of this part
of the game. Mrs. W. S. Kirkpat
rick and Mrs. L'f/elace Eve sold re
serve seats at the Timcs-Recorder
office, Saturday, Monday and Tues
day."
President F. J. Navin, of the De
troit team, one of the niogqls of big
league.Jiaseball, was here, with his
team nut was inconspicuous and few
knew of his presence,
Walter D, Hapgood, secretary of

MARSHAL TOLD
TO PROCEED TO
FI FA AND SELL
Nearly $45,000 Uncollected For
1921 And $25,000 To $30,-
000 Behind That Date
Let all those who have city taxes
to pay prepare to pay them now.
For the axe is about to fall.
The city council finance committee
having discovered as a result of the
audit of the city’s books which has
just been completed, and a oetailed
report of which is expected by the
first of next week, that large sums
of city tax money has never been
collected and no fi fas issued to
force collection, has issued positive
instructions to City Marshal Pouncey
to issue fi fas and proceed to sell the
property levied on in every case un
less due taxed are settled before
April 15.
Notice that this will be done ap
pears elsewhere in this issue over
Marshal Pouncey’s name.
The finance committee has been
informed by the auditors that the
records of the city clerk and treasur
er show that nearly $45,000 of the
1921 city tax levy remains uncol
lected. • The records also show, it is
said, some $215,000 or $30,000 of un
paid taxes on the books for previous
years dating back seven years, be
yond which time taxes cannot be col
lected by law. The total delinquent
is put at about $70,000. Tho
amount due from the 192) levy is
a third of the total of ad valorem
tax, which amounts to approximately
$119,000. According to Marshal
Pouncey, he will have fi fas to issue
against probably 350 persons, iri
amounts ranging from $1 up.
J. T. Warren, chairman of the
council finance committee, who re
ceived this committee assignment for
the first time at the beginning of
the year, is largely responsible for
the audu of the city's books and
the effort to learn the exact condi
tion of the city’s affairs, and the
order to the-.marshal to proceed to
collect due taxes was issued through
him.
“The city lias regular payrolls to
meet,” said he, “and we are going
to feed everybody out of the same
spoon. Many people have already
paid their taxes and those who have
not are going to be required to i *,y
them at once. The city has lost
thousands of dollars in the past by
permitting taxes to go uncollected
until citizens moved away lakmg
with them all their property and
leaving nothing to levy on. The city
marshal has been ordered to make
all collections at once and treat all
personsj alike.”
