ferent story however, when the
Men - S A n_ star , met the Bibb City
Men for with Adams in rgre form it
was practically no trouble at all for
the local men to dispase of the vis
ilors 5 ‘ 4 - Th « score was close but
the ultimate winner was never in
doubt.
The end of the first half of the
soft ball league found the South
River team and the High School
team tied up for top position. There
is however, one ball game still in
status quo, due to a protest and
until this protest is decided the
winner of the first half cannot be
determined. The standings t^t the
end of the half including the pro
tested game were:
W L Pet.
South River___ ___7 5 .583
High School______ ___7 5 .583

The Hertz Drive Your Self Team,
of Atlanta, defeated the Porterdale
All-Stars Thursday evening on the
local ball diamond 6-4. The game
was spirited and w'ell attended. And
incidentally the largest crowd of
the season witnessed the Porterdale
Coiumbus games Saturday night.
Macon is coming to town Satur
da y for threejjames and the manag
ers °f the different tea^ls are put
ting out all efforts to be able to ex
tinguish the Macon fires all around.
The teams* will be well fed and
everyone will go home happy re
gardless of the outcome of the
games for ’tis ever thus when Bibb
meets Bibb.
BASEBALL
The following is exactly the word
mg of a write-up of a game played
between Porterdale Red Caps and
the Scripts Athletics, two colpred
baseball teams, at Rose Hill Dia
mond Saturday afternoon. The re
porter is a resident of Rose Hill and
the official scorer of the Red Caps,
p'dale won the game 10 - 2 .
"July 16, 39—The Porterdale Red
Caps was seen in a battle with-the
fast Scriptors Athleticers Club with
Wild Bill Hicks on the mound. Bill
had no trouble but one time and
after that Bill went to town. It was
hard but fair. He shut them out.
The boy Hicks struck out ten bat
ters and oh my them reds did pound
them balls off the center field
fence. The Red Caps’ new first base
man is hot on the bag. His name is
r.,- -
triples in his first game. If you
want to see a real ball ciub, come
to Rose Hill. I don't think Haynes
wants to face those Red Caps no
more, he gave up one dozen hits and
left the mound that brought Mr.
Gun Dock to the mound; he
bore down then but it was too late,
Reds had ten scores and it was
10 Scripts 2.’’

Few mortals willingly give their
lives for others, except in moments
of great mental activity, yet we oc
casionally hear of individuals nobly
seeking danger for the good of man
kind in the aid of science. The New
Orleans Times Democrat relates an
incident, "Speaking of the bubonic
plague.’’ said a physician, I doubt
whether the entire history of the
world affords a more remarkable
example of personal heroism than
was exhibited by Dr. Franz Mueller,
of Vienna, whj fell a victim to the
disease when it was first under bac
teriological investigation in that
city in 1897. Dr. Mueller contracted
the malady from the bacilli in cul
ture tubes and when he became ceiv
tain that he was infected, he im
mediately locked himself in an iso
lated room, and posted a message
on the window pane, reading thus:
I am suffering from plague. Please
do not send a doctor to me, as, in
