Americus Wins Exhibition Game '
From Blakely Sunday by 3
to 1 Score
Only a small crowd of Americus |
fans journeyed to Montgomery
Sunday to witness an exhibition
game played there between Blakely I
and Joe Jackson’s team. The ‘Base- i
Special’ which was advertised ;
to leave here at 7 Sunday morning
had few passengers when it left
the Americus station, but others
from Blakely, Dawson, Cuthbert
and Union Springs added to the j
crowd. The attendance, including
Montgomery fans who went out to
see Jackson perform, and who were
rewarded by his making a wonder
ful back-handed stab of Mayer’s
drive that was labeled an extra base
clout. The game was a pitchers’
battle, with Wingard working for
Americus against the veteran Dick
Lowery, who was on the mound for
Blakely.
Lowery allowed only 6 safe bin
hles which, with perfect support,
would have netted only one tally,
but errors by Wagoner at critical
moments gave Americus her last
two counters and, incidentally, the
old ball game.
Blakely scored the first run of
the pastime in the fourth inning.
Jenkins, first man up, singled to
right, went to second on Wagon
er’s sacirfice and scored when Rose
doubled ovdr Elmore’s head. Amer
icus tied the score in the fifth, when
Lindsey singled, was sacrified down,
and scored on Wingard’s two-base
drive.
Americus put the game on ice in
the eighth bv scoring two runs on
errors by Wagoner and Lowery, two
walks and two sacrifices.

SOLID TRAINLOAD i
OFSTyOEBaKERCARS
Big Shipment of Light-Sixes
Leaves South Bend Plants
to, Fill Retail Orders
A solid trainload of Studebaker
cars, consisting of 120 light- sixes,
has just been shipped from the
Studebaker factories at South Bend,
Ind., to the Studebaker. Sales com
pany of Newark, N. J.
This shipment is unusual in two
respects. First, the entire 120 cars
have been sold at retail and will be
delivered to waiting buyers just as
soon aS unloaded. And second, it
is believed it represents the larg
est shipment to one dealer of a sin
gle model of car in the SI,OOO class
ever made by a manufacturer.
“It is not surprising that these ;
metropolitan motor car
buyers should create a tremendous i
demand for the Studebaker light- ’
six,” according to the Gatewood
Motor Co., local Studebaker dealer.
“To ttie majority .of these pur
chasers, price is a secondary con
sideration. They demand a quali
ty motor ear—rugged construction,
dependability, reliable performance,
thorough comfort and handsome ap
pearance.
“Some idea of the high quality
that is. evident throughout the
Studebaker light-six may be gained
by an inspectio nos the crankshaft
and connecting rods which are
machined on all surfaces—an ex
clusive Studebaker feature on cars
at this price and one that is found
only in a few other cars whose sell
ing prices are from three to ten
times as great as that of the light
six. This is largel yresponsible for
the practical elimination of vibra
tion.
“Coupled with its high quality, is
the remarkable fact that the Stude
baker. light-six is the lowest priced i
six-cylinder car on the market.
Therefore, it is no wonder that the
Studebaker light-six appeals to ex
perienced and discriminating motor
ists of the east just as it does right
here at home.”

I CLARA KIMBALL YOUNG
COMES TO RYLANDER
“The Woman of Bronze,” which
comes to the Rvlander on-Tuesday,
is said by Advance reports to pro
vide Clara-Kimball Young iih one
of her best roles. As a stage play,
with Margaret Anglin in the lead
ing role, “The Woman oi Bronze - ’
enjoyed highly successful runs in
this country.
The story is filled with exciting
incidents, as one would expect in
a story dealing with the attempt
of a sculptor’s wife to hold her hus
band, and to keep the flame of
| his artistry burning high, in the
■ face of his infatuation for anoth
i er woman.
j On the program with “The Wo-
■ man of Bronze’ will be shown a
Bull Montana comedy, “A Ladies
I Man.”
i Today’s attraction at the Rylan
-1 dor is Peter 13. Kayne’s world fam
;ous novel “Kindred of the Dust.”
KEATON BEGINS BIG PICTURE
Buster Keaton, he of the solemn
visage, is no longer featured two
reel comedy star. The phomenal
success of Keaton who, in tile
short period of two years has risen
from obscurity to the top of hi
profession, has signed to do
five-reel features.
The demand for Keaton 'com
edies has been unprecedented and
exhibitors ami movie fans alike are
anxiously awaiting Keaton’s long
feature, which gives promise of be
ing a combination of story and
mirth without equal in the history
of the cinema.
Three Sm He?
Polite but Pointed.
A motorist was stotft by a police
man for speeding, whereupon 'he
became angry and called the police
man an ass. After he had paid
his fine the magistrate reproved
him for what he had sgid to the of
ficer.
“Then I mustn’t call a policeman
an ass?” He asked.
“Cert, nly not,” said the niagis-
'irate. “You must not insult the po-
I lice.”
“But you wouldn’t mind if I call i
an ass a policeman, would you?” I
Why, no if it gives you any sat- I
1 isfaction,” answered his worship, i
: with a smile.
The motorist turned to the rfian ■
who had arrested him. “Good-by,!
, policeman,” he said, as he left the |
j court.—Tit-Bits (London.
No Hurry.
The burglar had just begun his '
term. Near him was an oldish man 1
. ; who studied him intently and
seemed to be awaiting an oppor-
Itunity to say something.
“How long arc you in for?” he
. whispered.
“Twelve years,” replied the new-
i comer.
i The veteran looked around ner
. voursly and thrust a letter into the
: burglars hand.
“I’m in for life,’ he said. “Post
’ i this for me when you get out.”
Cheap at the Price.
'Madam, you lost your thumb in
'this trolley accident all right, but
: how can you prove it, was worth

“Judge, it was the thumb I kept
Imy husband under.”—Columbia
