The Atlanta Journal will furnish the program from 7 to 8 and the At lanta Constitution from 9to 10. If the weather conditions are favorable the Pittsburg program will be given from 8 to 9. This will be a fine opportunity for everybody who has not yet heard the wonderful Radio concert to do so. A THRILLING GAME In one of the best ball games ever seen in Bamesville, Gordon Institute defeated Sixth District A. & M. Mon day afternoon, 1 to 0. The only tally of the game was made in the second inning on two successive er rors by the shortstop and third base man of the A. & M. team. Frank Alford, pitching for Gordon, fanned fourteen men and allowed only two hits, while Cox, for the A. & M. nine, surrendered but one safety during the entire game, and fanned six men. Alford’s best work was done in the ninth inning, when he filled bases and then retired the side without a score. Shugart, first man up in this inning, walked. Aaron singled to left. Bid dy fanned. Walker drew four wide ones and filled the bases. Alford fanned Arnold and Smarr hit over second base, the ball looking good for a single, but Pinkston, coming in on the run, made a great catch for the third out, thereby ending the game and leaving three A. & M. run ners on the sacks. This is the first game between Gor don and the A. & M., and the spirit shown by the two teams and the peo ple of the community was fine and to be commended. The result of the game showed that the A. & M. team is one of the best prep teams in the 3tate, as Gordon had already estab lished that record. Score by innings: R. H.E. Gordon 010 000 000—1 1 1 A. & M. 000 000 000—0 2 2 Batteries; Gordon, Alford and Freeman; A. & M., Cox and Walker. COL. BERNER DEAD Col. Robert L.
