Couple of Errors in First Frame
Let Two Blakely Runners
Across But This Ended It
NORRIS WEARS UNIFORM
Former Arlington Hurler Works
for Americus and Pitches
Great Game
In a six-inning affair staged at
the Playground diamond here Mon
day afternoon, Americus won from
Blakely, 3-2. About a thousand
fans saw the exhibition, and Nor
ris, former Arlington pitcher, who
worked for Americus, was in good
form. A couple of errors grabbed
off by Brannen and Williams in
the first frame allowed the visitors i
two tallies, but after this men in !
Americus uniform played airtight |
baseball, and there was no more j
scoring for the visitors.
Americus was unable to tally un- '
til the fifth, when Lindsey was i
“pinked” by one of Cochran’s ,
slants and “got on.” Duren and
Norris who followed at bat both
fanned, and Nolan was passed.
Williams then laced out a double,
and Lindsey scored. Elmore fan
ned, and the side was retired.
In the sixth Americus scored
two more runs on Jackson’s dou
ble, Brannen’s sacrifice, a pass giv
en Folmar, a single by Duren and
Norris double. The box score:

NEW AUTO SIGNALS
MAY BF SOUNDED
• ATLANTA, Aug. 14.——Some ol
, i the Atlanta automobilists are ad
| vocating the adoption of two new
, ; horn signals, one to signify “Thank
, j you!” to the autoist who courteous-
■ ly makes way on the road and one
. to say to approaching drivers:
. “Look out!” We just passed a
road hog.”
t | Other local motorists point out
- that there is a signal needed worse
than either of those. It is when
said road hog has made us just
I graze a telephone pole or barely
I skirt a ditch when one turns out to
avoid being struck by- him. Autoists
Is i have said it but their voice did not
r. j have the carrying power of a
r. horn.

VACCINATION AGAINST
RABIES IS EFFECTIVE
NASHVILLE, Tenn., Aug. 14.
“Rabies is one of the most specta
cular diseases which, alike, attacks
man and beast, and inasmuch as
dogs are very susceptible to the dis
on’ed .-.nd can ouiekly transmit it
! > ’he human family, the people
heve been anxious to adopt a meas
ure looking toward a control or
cure,” says Dr. E. L. Smith, head
of the U. S. Dureau of Animal In
dustry he continued:
“We now have experimental
data to show the value of vaccina
tion and the high degree of im
munity it has conferred upon dogs
by single injections.
“Every dog owner should feel
it his duty to have his dog treated
immediately and further, if com
pulsory measures were adopted the
infection would be so controlled
that ultimate eradication would
likely obtain. A number' of state
boards and municipalities are mak
ing the treatment mandatory and
the veterinary medical profession
at large is prepared to do an im
measurable service.”
