The Washington High School team) The cadets w***> going to s,r»*d _
came here last Friday to play a cc/Uule little good feeling over the to™!! Friday
9 t V II itL U Z’ . . . . *
of games of baseball with G. M. C.
One of the Washingtonians the pitch
er—played ball; the other enembers of
the team played pxycutiaemy, a game
in which each player dees what he
shouldn.t have done.
The soldier boys ta.lisd 13 times. The
Washingtonians scored ix-y times, Unit
is, they didn’t score at all The first
game was a swat feat «m! gaining Iras-
ez on passed balls for “G. M. C. from
beginning to end. G. M. C. outclassed
Washington in every department of the
game, hence the score of 13 to 0.
The game Saturday was a repitition
of the Friday affair #n a broader scale.
If every time G. M. C. scored, the scor
er had been given a tooth pick, he would
have had to get the dummy to hrul the
load away. Add 6 So 400 and div.de by
2 and vou’ll have a number somewhere
night in honor of the first victory of the
season, by giving a parade headed by
the band (which meant there wta going
to be some noise) but the parade I never
got as far a« ths big gate on the campus

of Milte4peville are. We're still on the
map if we're not mating any noise.
We Imve some real baseball on tap for
Monday. Mercer—not the law clast—
is coining over for a came. The game
is guaranteed under the Pure Food and
Drugs Act, so you know there'll be
something doing.
P. E.—The new tariff laws haven’t
effected thepricoof ball tickets. Twen-

near the score. The tally man says it; ‘he ball park cxcepting*the grandstand
was 15 to 0, but there’s a suspicion that j — tlie ladies can go these for a quarter

A FOURTH OF JIM
Crowd ol Progressive Citizens Plan-
Ring For Old Time Jubilee Gather
ing on Nation’s Natal Anniversary
To close down business, forget every
thing in a general celebration, to get
people from city and from country to
gether, to mix mid mingle without a
thought of business cures on the Fourth
n d\i'y. Is a plan that has been evolved
during the past week by several pro
gressive citizens of Milledgeville. It
is ayerred bv those pushing tha move-
merit that tho event would be a crown
ing one for the people of the city anJ
country and everybody would thorough
ly enjoy the affair.
While tho movement is yet in its
embryo stage still It lias taken dslinite
shape and will soon resolve itself into a
form of great proportions. It is plan
ned to have a groat spread and barbecue
dinner combined, together with a free
baesball gam \nnd, in fact a genuine
old fashioned gathering where there’ll
bo nothing but g>>! will anl joy ex
pressed or Implied.
though the tioia is aomowhat dis
tant yet it is considered not too early
to bavin the goal work and from now
until July the Fourth the plan will be
pushed forward.
