FITZGERALD LOST GAME .
FRIDAY TO MONTEZUMA
Friday Fitzgerald was defeated
by the “Rowers” five to threc.
However, the score did not tell
the worst of it. The game was a
farce the whole way thrdugh. The
fans say they never enjoyed a
game so much for a long time.
The home team was very badly
handicapped from the first. Bon
ner started to pitch with a sore
arm but had to quit in the third
mning. Skipper Cochran was cer
tainly in a quandary, not.to say
on a dilemma. Puckett and Milli
gan had both pitched two days
before and’ Fuss had worked the
first' game of the series. Bonner
was out for the day.
Since it seemed impossible to
pull a victory, Skip pulied a sur
prise. The surprise Wwas George
Norris. George, never suspected
of being anything like a pitcher,
stepped into the box. But Nor
ris did some nice work, allowing
but seven hits and walking only
three men, Pretty good for a
‘classy third baseman.
Milligan went to third base,
where he pulled a little high-class
comedy, and some tumbling
which should get him a job with
Ringling Bros.” circus.
Dick Stevens furnished quite a
little amusement also. Very car-ly
in the game it was discovered that
he was casily excited and the
bleachers “rode” him like he was
a jitney bus. Dick was hot as the
old Nick some of the time. Con
sidering as hofv he saved us from
a drop in the percentage column a
few days ago 6 we don't think it
was very nice of the fans to “peck
on him” like that. Dick was mad
enough to kill something and as it
was within casy reach he killed
a lot of time, which added vol
umes to the remarks of the
bleachers,
But it was an enjoyable game,
if not air-tight.

MONTE WINS SERIES
Montezuma won the series Sat
urday in a six inning set to which
resulted in the score of three to
one in Montezuma's favor. Fitz
gerald would have had a great
deal better chance to win if the
full nine innings had been played,
but old Jupiter Pluvius stuck his
nose into it and the game was
called by Umpire Barber in the
sixth,
The feature was in the fourth,
Cochran’s catch of Rowe's fly and
doubling Clements on second, té
Milligan. Also Cochran spoiled a
pretty hit by Morrison, catching
the fly in right left field. Milligan
alsg pulled a sort of “farce-fea
ture” by catching Dewberry's
pop up in the third. Zimmer
man was under the ball waiting
for it with upstretched arm and
Milligan stepped over and caught
the ball about one {foot above
Zim'’s fingertips.

One of the best fielders we have
had on our team is \V. T. Barber,
formerly right-fielder for the
Colonists. In the out-field “Tar
Baby™ is a cross between chain
lightening and a large sized tar
bucket. He is sure death on all
fly balls. In his prep school days
he was also a terror with the
mace. His batting average in
1914 was 475. But since he came
to Fitzgerald he has been unfor
tunate in his hitting and led the
league in strike outs. However,
it may be that with another club
his batting will again pick up. We
certainly have hopes for Mr. Bar
ber, as he is a mighty good out
fielder.
If you need some clean old
r.ewepapers for different uses
around the house we will supply
you at ocne nickel per large bun

WHAT'S WRGONG
The kind of baseball Fitzgerald
and the other teams of the “Big
Four” is playing certainly ‘merits
larger crowds than have been at
tending games for the last few
days. For instance, two cast-off
Fitzgerald players are starring in
the Dixie, at least tavo were until
one was called to join the Nat
ional Guard. ~When a Dixie lea
guer thinks he deserves a better
place than in that league he usu
ally tries out with some “Big 4”
team.. We have in the Big Eour
ieague and. i our own clup, mcn)
who reiused good jobs in the S;d—l
ly because they wanted to play|
jaster baseball in the “Big Futlr"!
Every day the local club furnish-|
¢s exhibitions which would do |
credit to any league in the st:uc.}
Besides that, there are in this!
same “DBig 4”7 league, at least half§
of the men who made the “All;
Southern” and who will as S(mnl
as they finish school make’ g“”dl
in Class B baseball or possibly in |
the Major leagues. There are on|
every team the setllar lights of
Mercer, Tech, Georgia, Auburn
and the other big schools of the
South.
Fitzgerald . baseball followers
are being given the chance to wit
ness games which are equal, if not
superior, to any Sally lcague or
Class C bascball ever pulled (,rff‘
in the state. With such games
right at home it seems as if our
people might appreciate it enough |
to turn out in numbers - large,
enough to pay the expenses of
putting on the games. l
Fitzgerald fans, come out and:
show that you appreciate good
baseball and want to see i‘i{zg'cr-i
ald come out on top. The scason
is now hali over. Let the cru\\*rls«'i
of the last half of the season m:fl\:arl
good for what the other crowds
lacked. ‘
Mr. Marcus Milligan m:’.sterbd{
many more means of making mo-!
ney than playing secoud basel
when he started out. He is not!
only able to play that position and |
every other position on a baseball|
team, but he is a good soda jcrk—!
er, and claims he can set type in
a newspaper office. He is also a
butcher, a cow-puncher and can
split wood. \
OFF FCR THE STATE FARM
Deputtfes Gordon Roberts and
Mose Prigden leave tonight with
Kort Land, Joe Drew and Math
ew Holden, who have been sen
tenced to three months on the
state farm.
Sol Bartield, who has been sen
tenced to twelve months in the
state prison, will also begin his
term tonight, having failed to se
cure a pardon,
DAWSON'S BALL TEAM
They say Wilder is some pitcher,
__But he'must be on the bum
FFor when he played at Monte
zuma 1
‘They sure had him going some.
Then they had another pitcher, l
I believe they call him Fox, |
W hen he comes to town again ]
We're going to knock him out
of the box. 1
Then the third one comes a blow
ing, : 1
And they say his name is
Wynn,
If they pitch him in Fitzgerald
The way we'll beat him, 'tis a
sin, |
|
Then théfourth one is the Wolfe,
You know he always tries to
blutt. |
But when these home boys land
on him (5
He will have to change his stuff.
I see two men on bases,
Skipper Cochran with the stick.
[f they keep them two from
sedring,
They will have to work a trick.
Look out “Baby,” hush your
crying,
You've been long enough a
bluff,
If vou win again from Fitzgerald
You will have to change your
stuff.
Spur up Fitzgerald, keep on play
ng,
You know the season is going
fast,
Come out people, watch Fitager
ald
Put Baby Wilder in his class.

CENTRAL TESTING |
| “DRY” LAW POINTi
’ Atlanta, Ga., July I—The opin-|
lon of the lecal representatives ufl
the Central of Georgia railroad to
i!h{' effect that/the new ]n'uhihi—l
tion law permits an individual to |
receive in the same shipment the |
!m:u;inmm amount &f beer, wine |
and whisky will now receive its |
test in court as the result of the
hearing held in police court.
At that time Recorder Johnson,
after hearing the cvidence against
the Central of Georgia, Dorris
Dean, Nathan Kahn and J . R.
Thempson, chief clerk of the mi}—'
road, sent the cases against the!
Central and Thompson to the
higer courts, requiring bond uf}
$5OO in each case,
The case against Dorris Dean
was dismissed last Monday. She
secured the shipment of !ir;uurs.‘
but it'was shown that she was un-!
der the impresgsion that she l‘.:zd{
a right to do so. The case against |
Kahn was dismissed 'l"}mrsd:a\'.l
there being no proof of wrong-do
ing on his part, It was :1]?@;':;:!'
that he was going to pav for the!
liquor when it was received. He
showed that the money with
which it was to be paid belonged
to the girl, and that he was keep
ing it in his safe for her.
The case will center consider
able interest owing to the prin
ciple involved. The makers of the
law hold that the act allows any
individual in Georgia to seeure
cach month one gallon of wine, or
two quarts of whisky, or forty
eight pints of beer. They declare
that the individaul is entitled to
any one of the three he or she
elects, but only to one of the
three. The Central attorneys
assert that the wording of the law
allows the individual the maxi
mum in all three classifications
each thirty davs.

THOMASVILLE NEGROES
ARE ANXIOUS TO “JINE”
Thomasville, ‘Ga., July I.—A
number of the negroes of Thom
asville are very much interested
in the subject of the war with
Mexico and express a desire to
enlist. One well known negro,
captain of the uniform rank
Knights of Pythias, colored, is
anxious to enlist with his com
pany. Should a negro regiment
he formed from the South, it is
probable that Thomasville will
send a large representation from
itg colored population. -
