MILLIGAN WINS FOR
THE LOCAL, TEAM
Auburn Star Has Dawson Slug
gers Feeding Out of His Hand
In a walkaway game Thursday,
Fitzgerald proved her superior
ity over Dawson beyond the pos
sibility of a doubt, by winning 6
to 1. And the home team played
circles around the visitors from
the first to the last, Milligan
was a prime feature of the game.
This peerless Auburn star not
only let down the visitors with
one clean hit but made good on
cight of nine chances in the field.
He also hit once out of three
times at bat.
The locals pounded Fox, of
Georgia, all over the lot. He was
found for seven singles, two dou
ble-baggers and one home run.
Mize grabbed his share by maul
ing one double and one home run,
both in Ginn’s terrirtory. The
home run was the longest hit of
the s€ason. It cleared the score
board by at least twelve feet.
First inning—Ginn passed to
first. Sosebee sacrifices out, Mil
ly to Mize, Ginn taking second.
Irascible Ike Thrasher out, pitch
er to first. Lackadaisical Loke
Thrasher sizzled one down to
short-stop who muffsd Ginn
takes' third and starts home. Zim
throws wild, allowing Dawson’s
first and only run. Wilkes out,
Mize to Kates. No hits, one run.
Norris, base on balls. Zimmer-
‘man safe on fielder’s choice and
Norris out, pitcher to second.
McCullom busts one to short,
who errors. Kates hits to left
field and Zim scores on the throw
in. McCullom romps around to
second on the hit, third on the
throw in and home on a passed
ball. Mize fans. One hit, two
Tuns.
Fifth Inning
Harper out, Milligan to Kates.
Floyd dies the same way. Fox
safe on Milligan’s muff. Ginn
out, pitcher to first. Milligan’s
own inning. McCullom flies out to
left. Kates out, third to first.
Mize hits a four-bagger over left
field fence. Monahan makes the
“Handsome Sosebee” error with
a scorching grounder. PBarnett
doubles, Scoring Mony. Cochran
out, pitcher to first. Two hits,
two runs, :
Eighth inning—Ginn grounds
to Norris, safe on Kateg' error.
Sosebee gets fielder’s cfi)ice and
Ginn dies, Zim to Mize. Ike
Thrasher takes three beautiful
swings and walks back to the
bench. His bud out, short to sec
ond. Cocdhran beats out a bunt,
out Thrasher to Sosebee omt Mil
ligan's grounder. Milligan steals
bath second <and third. Norris
passed to first, for third time,
steals second, Zimmerman hits
to left, scoring two runs. Me-
Cullom out, pitcher to first. Kates
passed. Zimmerman attempts to
steal home, dies, second to catch

sixth—Milligan and Norris out,
Rhodes to Floyd to Thrasher.

THE GRAND OLD DOPE
Fitzgerald and Dawson are
now tied in the percentage col
umn with this afternoon’s game
deciding the leadership of the lea
gue—and Montezuma forging
steadily to the fore. In the last
three games played the dope was
all in Dawson’s favor for taking
the three straight. But Fitzgerald’
copped two of them (we refer to
the games of Wednesday and
Thursday). The rest of the week
the breaks should be with the
Colonists and we may expect to
be a full game ahead at the begin
ning of next week.
But what then? The outlook
is bright, to say the least, though
the first series is against Monte
zuma. We will be lucky to take
two out of three from the rejuve
nated Montezuma crowd, while if
Cordele holds out at its present
rate, Dawson will take three
straight games. But after that
we have six games with the lea
gue “goats” and unless a miracle
18 performed in the next week
that means five victories while
igfio well - to. take
three from Montezuma. Thus
we figure Fitzgerald will Dbe
ahead of Dawson on July 25,
~ But this dope reckons entirely
without Montezuma. Despite
bad start they made this séason,
that team is now a very promi
nent factor in the league race.
Fitzgerald will have to beat both
those teams to come out on top.
Well, Fitzgerald, it's up to us.
“Let’s go from here.”
' PUNK ATTENDANCE
At Thursday’s game there was
!a record attendance-—in the nega
tive sense. People! People! Do
you think Fitzgerald is going to
win the pennant without the
!hcarty support of you all? It is
just as impossible for a team to
win a race without enthusiastic
support as it is for a camel to pass
through the eye of a needle. Take
Cordele as a “horrible example”.
'l"coplc there never would turn
out in any large numbers and
jthun they don’t make any noise.
Look where Cordele 1s! Yet, tak
en man for man, Cordele is as
good a team as there is in the lea
gue. They have splendid pitchers
and good hitters. They have as
many individual stars as any oth
er team on the circuit. Yet look
where they are! Purely from lack
of real, enthusiastic support and
“fanning”. s, |
FITZGERALD GETS BIG
- END OF DOUBLEHEADER
Puckett Wins. Fuss Loses When
Wolfe Allows One Hit
How was that double header in
Dawson Wednesday? Fitzgerald
played eighteen , innings with
about eighty fielding chances and
not an error. In those two games
four boys demonstrated that they
'mu]«l do what some believed im
possible for them. No team in
’:m_\' league plaved such ball that
aay:
| In the first game Puckett and
Wilder clashed. One result was
’Hw expected pitcher’s battle. The
lother was that “We Showed
‘Wilder He Ain't No Bear.” The
little man only .gave our boys
three hits though. Three errors
at critical moments helped us to
a two to one victory. Puckett
gave up an unusually large num
ber of hits, for him, the Dawson
ites knocked him to all parts of
the field for five hits, on in each
part of the field.
Score by innings: RHY

| Second Game
The seeond game went to Daw
son by the heart-rending score of
one to nothing. . Place the blame
on the shoulders of the venomous
Wolfe. This wonderful twirler
actually let our boys down with
one hit. This is an unknown,
heretofore, occurrence and ail
credit is due to Mr. Wolfe. Little
Asby Fuss pitched like he was
grown up. Three hits were the
net results. Asby sure had hard
luck in that direction. It seems
like when he pitches four hit
games his opponent gives up
three and so forth.

There was no fighting or steal

I tell you this Pere is no bluff
That tellow Fox has got the stuff,
But it got mixed up with® Mizes’
sense
And he sent one straight over the
fence.
Then Barnett’s time had come to

He got a bat, he handled it slow.
"T'was Mr. Fox, the base did split

Milligan, the ball did throw,
The Dawson boys, they tried to

Just how he did it, I don’t know,
But he had them pa:, they could
not score,
The best catcher in this land
I believe they call him Monahan.
If you want to see a pretty stunt
See Skipper Cochran make a bunt.
Another fellow knows his place
"Tis the man that holds second

Mr. Cochran sure did pace
When Dawson got him in a chase.

THE “AGE OF RUBBER”
IS NEAR AT HAND
Akron, O, July 10--So many
'imlustrics are face to face with
iu»n.\tumly decreasing supplies of
{raw materials and ever increas
!in;;’ demands due to population
|gru\\‘ll, that the contrast:afford
!'ul by the rubber business looms
{up vividly.
! [n” 1905, according to figures
groen out for publication by the
B. ¥. Goodrich Co., uncultivated
or "native” rubber comprised 60.-
l?i(.‘if) tohs, while in 1914 the pro
| duetion kad dropped back to 60.-
GOO tons. But cultivated or plan
!l:ltiun rubber in the same space
of 1 e had risen from 145 tons to
I(H».K‘H,) tons. :
Forecasts Great Supplies
'n 1917 the Godrich company
estimates that while native rub
ber production will have fallen tol
34,500 tons, plantation rubber will
an ount to 147,000 tons. By 1921,
it is predicted that 209,000 tons uf‘
cultivated rubber will be available
wiile but 30,000 tons of native
rubber will be produced. |
Thus 1917 will show a total in
crease of 30 per cent in crude ruh
ber supplics over 1914, due to the
fast growing production on pian
tations. And when rawg rubber
reaches that level of ¢)st which
vastly increased supplies would
indicate. niyriad new uses will be
adued to those for which the pres
ent lelatively limited production
15 requered. ’
Leather Extremely Scarce
A tanches and open ranges be
come converted into farms, and
the number of cattle decreases,
lessening the supply of leather,
while the population which must
wear shoes and the facteries
which must have belting increase,
rubber will step in more and more
to furnish better service at even
lwoer cost. ¢
IMustrations of these changes
are already at hand. The B. F.
Goodrich. Co., has announced
Textan, a composition sole which
owears leather and is superior
in many respects. Goodrich Rub
ber Belting is fast supplanting ex
pdgsive leather belting and is pers
forming the work as well or bet
ter. >
- Goodrich Holds to Fair Prices
’ Keenly alive to the importance
of “tomorrow” in the rubber field,
!the Goodrich company states that
it beligves in holding to fair and
moderate, prices upon all it pro
duces, as ';\'\pxample its prices
on tires, which rapge 15 per cent
to 30 per cent per cent below fig
ures which their quality could
command thro&gh comparison
with other tiregy listed at 15 per
cent to 50 per c?nt hgher prices.
Thus it hopes to hasten the
“Age of Rubher,” which, in its
conviction, means greatly increas
ed benefits toall humanity. ‘

SOUTHERN SENATORS}
WANT TICK BAN LIFTED
Washington, D. C., July 14—
Efforts of Senators Underwood,
Broussard and other southern
members to get authorization for
raising the cattle tick ban so as
to permit of the importation into
southern states of tick—iniestedj
cattle from Mexico and Central
America, were blocked finally to
day in the senate.
When the agricultural appro
priation bill was taken up the
senate, by a vote of 31 to 27,
struck from the measure an
amendment to lift the quarantine
below, the southern guarantine
line. Senator Underwood gave
notice that he would later move
to suspend the rules to make the
amendment in order, but when he
pressed his motion it was defeat
ed, 44 to 18,
Senators Catron and Sheppard
opposed the amendment.
An amendmexlby Senator Cat
ron repealing %‘filaw which per
mits importatiqgaé tick cattle in
certain section%’ “Texas, was
adopted by an ‘oyerwhelming
vote, R ]
