PAYS ITS BILLS

plicated Syatam—Olffiffeultie, a Now
Contractor Eaperlencea if Ha At

The above are the pennant winning
Highlanders who have made such a
great race during the past season, and
■who going to the front In the opening
days of the league, never to be over
taken. Although they were pushed
somewhat towards the last. It had no
bearing In the final wind-up. It simply
served to geAr local us well as foreign
Interest up to a higher pitch of enthu
siasm.
The thirteen hard working athletes
whose likenesses are portrayed In the
above cut have worked hard the season
through and each and every one de
serves praise. Since the first game in
which the Macon club took port until
the last contest, which Is to be played
this afternoon, great team work and
heady playing has characterized tho
efforts of the Highlanders. In this re
spect the 16cai aggregation had the
call upon all others of the league clube.
The steadiness with which the club
played through the months of warfare
was almost remarkable.
Of the thirteen players in the group
above nine have been with the Macon
club since the opening of the season in
April. But few changes have taken
place In the team, Manager Smith
picking the winner at the start, and
thinking It a much wiser plan to see
players Improve under his caro.
When the season opened the follow
ing nine of the thirteen players were
enlisted in the ranks of the local squad:
Hoffman, Blake, Stinson. Sentell. Stew
art, Smith, Lipe, Bayne and Ilarnfsh.
The new men, Chandler, Polchow, Mat
thews and Segars have all been secured
within the past two months. Both
Chandler nnd Polchow were secured
from the Augusta club, Matthews from
the Tennesaee-Alabama league, and
John Segars frhm one of the city teams
of Georgia.
Manager Billy Smith is from Ohio.
IIo Is the man who deserves a big
share of the credit for the landing of
tho pennant It was Billy who scoured
the country before tho opening of the
season in search of players. From the
middle western states to the gulf he
traversed and his efforts were not
spent wantonly. Smith la not a now
man at the game. He has played ball
a number of seasons and Is well veij^d
In all the Ins and outs of the game*.
By the players he is well liked und to
the Macon small boy he is slmqst an
idol. Billy has not committed more
than three errors during the entire sea
son. lie has brought the stands to
their feet cheering, many a time, and
now nnd then to vary the scenes has
tapped the hall over the fences. Smith’s
team is one of the best training
schools that might be found for young
players as the local magnate takes a
special interest in his men. The man
ner in which he has developed the local
players during the season gave him
the honor of being selected as mana
ger of the All South Atlantic League
team.
Xick Hnmish was rounded up by
Manager Smith from Dayton, where
Kick learned the game. Being offered
an inviting salary, he jollied the local
club before the season opened. Ha
caught nil the games that Macon
played before the regular season
opened. His work in these ante-season
games pleased every one and he was
retained. As a hard worker Nick has
hardly on equal In the league. After
the game this afternoon he will have
caught D) out of 112 games. This is
working with a vengeance. While Tom
Quinn was with the Highlanders Xick |
had a day off occasionally but since the
time Quinn left the Dayton backstop
has figured in every game. When the
cold winds are sweeping through the
ball
mg
of the
question Nick works In Dayton putting
up cash registers.
Alvin Bayne, the son of 'a Macon
lawyer, is the printer twirier of the
league without the smallest shade of a
doubt. Bayne has worked out, In forty-
six games this season. Out of this
number he bus drawn thirty-five vic
tories. ten defeats and one, tied up
fray. Xo other twlrt*r may boast of a
r*- ord anythl •? In this nHghbocbso l
When he wished to Alvin would float a
ball over the plate on slow ns a crip
pled snail. Then to vary tho style ho
would whip one across with speed and
more steam behind It than a twelve-
wheel mogul engine. It Is doubtful If
Bayne stays In a minor league another
season, though ho says he likes Macon
better than tho rest combined. IIo
goes to Join the Colonels In Atlanta to
morrow. Alvin will be around Macon
during the winter.
Johnny Segars of Georgia made his
debut with tho Highlanders down at
Jaytown some months ago. There he
sprang a leak In his arm and was out
of the game for some tlem. IIo opened
up again here, however, by shoving
the Gtllls of Charleston In the shade
while Eddie Ash weeped. John will be
back next summer nnd in tho mean
time will shovo out merchandise across
counter of a store at Winder, irt
this state.
Louis Polchow was secured from tho
Augusta Tourists. Polly was with tho
Montgomery club of the Southern
League last season and knows tho
gnme from ono end through. During
the months when there Is no ball play
ing In sight ho is a huntsman.
George Matthews was secured by
Manager Smith from tho leading De
catur club of the Alabama—Tennessee
league. Matty worked In n number of
games for Macon and landed the big
ger part of them. lie Is still a school
boy nnd will return to tho University
of Alabama this full. Xext season Mat
thews would In all probability make a
star man for Billy Smith.
Paul Scntoll who Is picked an the
first short atop In the league, hall
from the Crescent City, where he will
return when the pennant Is hoist
over the local ball yard. Sentell has
played In nearly every game with Ma
con this year nnd despite hundreds of
tho most difficult chances has made
hut few errors. He wna in tho Sugar
Belt League last year, working along
side of Billy Smith. Paul la ah
skilled with the tonsorlnl tools aa with
the ball and bat. He will preside ov
a chair In a barber shop during the
winter. May be ho* will work here In
Macon.
Bill Blake learned the game In tho
back lota at Louisville. In the land- of
rye. He wna at the top In the school
of slug here for a long time and
probably yet. The truth will be learned
when the official reports are sent out
by President Boyer. Blake made the
record of going fourteen games with
out on error. This Is a record by Itself
as he handled on the average of seven
or eight chances par game. When the
season Is over hero ho goes to Colum
bus. Ohio, to work In a series of after
s^o/on games with that club. During
the winter he Is In business for him
self In LoulBvllle.
Perry Lipe Is another of the old
stand?bys. He has played In every
game this season either at third or at
the short station when Sentell was In
jured. Lipe has time and time again
proven the best hitter In the pinches
of the leaguo. Many games have been
won for the locals by his timely hit In
the closing Inning. He has a great earni
and shoots them over to first as true
as a rifle shot. When not playing ball
Lipe is a railroader working between
Irwin and St. Louis.
George Stinson, the consistent swat
ter and right fielder, is from MlllMge-
ville. He was at Mercer several years
ago and played with the collegians. Of
late Geoi^e has been hitting over 360.
, Stinson has worked In every con
test during the season and is consid
ered by not only the local fans but the
rooters in all the other league towns a
clean gentlemanly player. He fields
bis poidtloa well and has a knack of
doubling hose runners out at-the sec
ond station. When a sacrifice hit Is
needed George has presented the goods
many a time. He has not decided
whether to play ball next season or not,
but If he does he will be offered a
comfortable berth with the lorals.
During the winter he will probably
accept a position either In Macon or
Columbus In the billiard parlors. Man
ager Smith hopes to secure the posi
tion as coach for the Mercer l«ll team
next spring. No better selection could
be made (ban the local manager.
Hoffman was with Smith and Hen*
tell last season. He has played In ev
ery gam** this season and has Improv
ed rapidly. Aa a first baieman he
Is *sr sure ft one as could be wUhetf
for, having the knack of digging low
throws out of the sand or going high
in tho air for wild throws to his sack.
Hoffman took good caro of himself
during tho season and was always to
be found In tho best rorm. Ills Home
is In Xew Orleans where lie will winter.
H. Chandler, who was secured along
with Louis Polchow from Manager
Carter of the Augusta Tourjsts some
weeks ago, has shown tho Macon fans
that ho la a steady going and sure
fielder. For a pnrt of tho season ho
was with Charleston, then with Au
gusta, but of ull those towns he liked
Macon the best. While with the locals
Chan blfTcd the leuther over the 340
gait. Two home runs were rapped out
by him on tho local park within the
past two weeks and as a result of
each swat he was presented with a
hat full of the long green. Chandler
will probably winter fn the woods of
the state, gunning for nn Augusta Ho
tel. Ha Is ono of the surest shots with
a gun and makes good money hunting.
When Harry Stewart was secured
he was placed on tho local pay roll ns
a Iwirler. During tho opening weeks
of the season Harry worked from the

A thoroughly respectable looking
man was found In the Brooklyn navy
yard yesterday afternoon, talking very
loudly to himself and saying very im
polite things about the navy pay sys
tem. After he had been quieted down
by several employees ln the yard, he
explained that he had been trying to
understand the method of getting a
bill through the general storekeepers’
office, and after having spent some
thing like an hour and u half, knock
ing about from one "section" to an
other, and from one "division" to an
other. he had given up the task In de
spair.
The case of this unfortunate man Is
one of a number that turn up every
year __ ft nd In almost every Instance
they prove to br "green" at It. When
once thorough!)’ understood, the navy
method of paying bills in as simple as
the caution of handling the people’s
money will Justify ; but in too mntiy in
stances. those furnishing goods seem
to think that Uncle Hmn docs business
ln some mysterious manner, which the
ordlnnry mortal can never hopo to un
derstand. And so It happens that tho
most ordinary rules of business are
neglected by the contractor.
One of the most frequent of these
neglects Is thnt of falling to send In
a bill (It is better to send in duplicate
bills, one td tho general storekeeper
,nnd to the navy pay office In Broad
way and Chambers street, Manhattan).
It seldom happens, in the ordinary
course of business, that parties dellv-
; cring goods fall to send ln a bill, very
■ promptly. Yet It is a fact thnt, by
some perversity of fate., business
houses selling wares to the navy de
partment, many times In a yonr depart
from this simplest »»f business rules.
When dealing with the navy, these us
ually sound-headed men of affairs
seem to act ns If they rely on the
vague hope thnt a crisp check (with
the picture of Admiral Fnrrogut on it)
will turn up in their mall a few weeks
afterword
"You would scarcely believe it," said
a veteran ln the navy yard yesterday,
"how many hard-headed business men
come Into the general storekeeper’s
office with fire ln their eyes and thun
der In their voices a few weeks after
their goods have been delivered, link
ing why. In the name of common sense,
they had not received a check for tho
some. When nsked if they had sent in
bill, they blankly stare at yoa nnd
any: ’Why, do you wont a blllY
With the contractors who hovo
supplied tho navy yard some yearn
little or no trouble Is experienced In
settling accounts promptly; but un
fortunately, owing to the system of
receiving bids from nil competitors, a
large percentage of ’green’ contractors
crop up every year, and It Is almost
as exciting as bronco busting to break
Into tho navy’s system of pay
ing bills.
There were something like three
hundred separate firms or Individuals
furnishing goods to the navy yard in
last fiscal yeor, and of these three
hundred I doubt if more than ono hun-
dr*’d w»-ri* old h ind i at fh»* buslne'is.
Nearly all the others were entirely
new at supplying the navy, nnd you
can Imagine better than I can describe
the lively scenes some of tho clerks
have In explaining mntters to them.
"And the funniest part of It all Is
that, usually, the smaller the bill tho
more Impatient and Irascible tho con
tractor becomes over delays. Why,
within a short time n slfiglo check was
mnde out to the tun»r of 51.760,000, to
the order of one party, with ns little
fuss, delay, comment, or running
around ns if It hail been nn everyday
matter; hut for hills amounting to
anywhero from II to $50 we hive ex
perienced the liveliest klndH of cross-
We have had hills go through
here for 8 cents, 12 cfente nnd 24 cents
thnt had to go through the exact for
mality that thf 5t.7i0.000 Mil -lid. »•!.d
ln some cases tho ii mount of postage
nnd carfare exceeded lh«- total of these
small bills.
"I admit that our system of paying
bills is more complicated than that
adopted in the ordinary business house,
•but when you conald'-r that we are han
dling the people’s money nnd not our
own. sod that we p.»v out every busl-
ness day of the year hums running fr<un
1100 to $500,000, or un aggregate of $27.-
000,000 for the last fiscal y»* ir, you must
admit that cv*-r> reasonable precaution
should be taken to guard against
fraud, or worse, even if it does occasion
vexatious delays and seemingly
goods, which, all things considered. Is
reasonably fast time when we remem
ber thnt many business houses make
It a rule to pay the bills only once a
a week or twice a month--nud I have
been Informed that some never pay.
Taking It all in all. then, we And that
the navy system of paying Is not so
bad after all.
"On the receipt of the triplicate
vouchers, the paymaster general In
Washington enters them In books kept
for that purpose, approves them for
payment, and makes out a requisition
on tho treasury department for tho sum
called for In tho vouchers. Of course,
tho paymaster genera! cannot commun
icate directly with the treasury depart
ment, so the requisition must go to
the navy department nnd from there Is
forwarded to tho treasury department—
nnd It comes hack through the same
circuitous channel.
But hero is where several days have
been saved to tho contractor so anx
iously nwaiting his check In Now York
—or any other city. According to a
strict interpretation of the regulations,
the paymaster-generul could not re
turn tho vouchers to the nnvy office
In Manhattan until the requisition for
same had been returned ’approved’
nnd with ‘financial ability’’ from the
treasury department. This delay of
several days has been avoided by tho
treasurer placing on deposit in tho
sub-treasury In Xew York, subject to
the order of tho navy department, a
tm that averages $300,000.
"So the paymaster-general, without
waiting for tho requisition to be re
turned from tho treasury department,
once returns two of the triplicate
uchers (keeping the third on file in
Washington) to the navy pay' office in
York; ono for filing there nnd
one for filing In the navy yard. Imme
nsely upon the receipt of llieso two
vouchers from Washington, tho navy
pay office notifies the contractor rf
the happy event nnd that a check will
be made out for him at his conven
ience. When the contractor feels like
—nnd thnt, generally. Is instanter—he
appears In the nnvy pay office, signs a
rccolpt for tho check, and then re
ceives the check.
"As a rule this routine takes from
two to three weeks from tho day tho
goods are delivered at the general
storekeeper’s office to the day tho con
tractor receives his chock In payment
for tho same. There have been cases
where payments have been delayed a
yenr, owing to complications arising
from failure to conform to the sys-
tern. In other cases contractors (when
the hill Is small) havo purposely neg
lected to perform their part of tho
routine and were delayed some months.
A case occurred not long ago where
tho contractor got so mad (tho bill
was for something like $2.40) thnt
when he received the check ho tore It
up and fient it back, saying that his
cnrfnre nnd postage had nmounted to
more than tho bill, of courso thnt was
n very silly thing for him to do, fo»*
the money cannot bo touched, and Is
■till floating around—somewhere.
1 remarked before, tho nnvy de
partment saved tho contractor several
days by not waiting for tho requisition
on^tho treasury department to be re
turned. When this requisition, in dun
course of time, ronchen tho navy pay
fflce, it Is credited to the $300,000
lump sum deposited In tho nub-treasury

George Bidder, the son of a Devonshire
