Our sporting editor being otherwise
engaged this week, and this scribe be
ing unacquainted with the finer tech
nicalities of the game, our readers must
be content with a brief summary of the
the opening series of the league season.
The three games were played on the
home grounds, the contest being be
tween Rome and Newnan. Monday's
game went to Newnan, 5 to 3; Tues
day’s game to Rome, 1 to nothing,
(tenth inning;) Wednesday’s game to
Newnan, 5 to 4. They were great
games, all of them, the contending
teams being pretty evenly matched.
After several years of faithful ser
vice in that office Mr. E. ip. Fouse
tendered his resignation as tSjty Clerk
at. the regular meeting of Council on
Monday night last. Mr. J. I‘. Shackle
ford, former City Marshal, has been
strongly indorsed for the vacancy, and
at a special meeting of Council, to he
held this afternoon, the chances are
that, he will lie chosen for the position.
He is splendidly qualified for the place,
and our city fathers would do themselves
credit by electing him. P. S. — Mr.
Shackelford was elected at 4 o’clock
this afternoon and will enter upon his
duties at once.
Peeved and soured by the defeat of
the Rome team in Monday’s contest,
the party delegated by the Rome Trib
une-Herald to report the game for that
paper strayed far afield in his effort to
find an excuse for the obvious deficien
cies of the “invineibles” so widely and
blatantly heralded by “Hill City” tout-
era for days arid days before the open
ing event. Seeking to gloss over the
weakness of the Rome aggregation, the
reporter’s account of the game was so
distorted as to be little short of slan
derous. The report contained but one
really accurate statement, and that
was the official score showing Newnan
the victor by a score of 5 to 3. His at
tempt to ridicule the Carrollton band —
a splendid organization of eighteen
pieceB — was belied by the excellent mu
sic rendered during the afternoon, and
which was thoroughly enjoyed by ev
ery one except the “Hill City” crowd.
By the way, the only semblance of
rowdyism manifested during the entire
series was when the manager of the
Rome team, in Tuesday’s game, un
dertook to usurp the functions of the
umpire and was driven off the grounds.
The Tribune-Herald's reporter evident
ly tried to be funny, but unbiased read
ers of his account of Monday'o game
are of the opinion that he missed being
something else by the merest scratch.
