SPRING PLACE, MURRAY COUNTY, GEORGIA, JULY 31, 1908.
BASE BALL.
Eton Drops Double-Header.
The Eton base ball team, rein¬
forced by four Spring Place play¬
ers, went to Fairmount last Sat¬
urday for two games with Fair
mount.
Strawn went in to pitch the
first game for Eton while Will
banks was doing the baekstop
•ping. Bragg and Roach were
the battery for Fairmount.
Strawn was batted hard ip the
first and second innings and he
was replaced by Sarvis in the be¬
ginning of the fifth inning.
Strawn allowed fourteen runs in
four innings, while S a r_v i s
allowed only two runs in five in¬
nings, making a total of sixteen
runs, while Bragg, Fairmouut’s
pitcher, was a puzzle all through
the game, keeping hits scattered
and allowing only five runs. ' „
Following is the score by in¬
nings :

In the second ganfb Richards
and Roach made up the battery
for Fairmount while Sarvis and
Willbanks were doing the battery
work for Eton.
At the beginning of the second
round of play Sarvis was relieved
by Dickson, with the score
1 to 1.
Therewas nothing more doing
until the fourth inning when
Fairmount made three more runs
making the score 4 to 1.
The run getting stopped until
the eighth when Eton scored four
more runs making,the score 5 to
t hr their favor, but in Fair
mount’s half of the eighth they
made four more runs leaving the
score 8 to 5 in Fairmouut’s
favor,
Eton scored two more in their
half of the ninth, and the score
stood 8 to 7 in Fa,jrmount’s
favor.
The Fairmount people said the
game belonged to Eton, as
Groves was called out at the
plate when he was never tagged
with the ball, and Bragg was
called safe at home when he was
out a country block, but his
majesty, the umps, never called
anything in Eton’s favor.
If Eton had been given justice
by his umpship the final score
would have stood 8 to 7 in Eton’s
favor.
There were five of Calhoun’s
best players in the Fairmount
line-up,
A Calhoun battery was work¬
ing for Fairmount, but Dickson
pitched rings around Richards,
who was batted hard, and with
anything like proper support
Dickson would iiave won his
game in a walk.
Errors were made at times,
when they counted runs.

TEXAS PROHIBITION
AMENDMENT LOSES
Incomplete Returns Show
Measure Is Voted Down.
Dallas, Tex., July 29.—Incom¬
plete returns from Saturday’s
Democratic primary election
show that the state-wide prohi¬
bition amendment was defeated.
The vote so far received is 68,805
for and 77,726 against the amend¬
ment.
The total vote ,is estimated at
600,000, and of this number
208,000 have been accounted for,
many persons not voting on this
proposition. The election law
declares that no specific demand
for legislation shall be made in
the party platform unless it shall
have received a majority of all
the votes cast in the primary
election, and the submission
proposition, it is believed, will
fail of this requirement complete by peif
haps 50,000 votes when
returns are received.
