Discussion of plays In the Georgia- Tech football game last Saturday, cou pled with u smooth tile floor In the lob by of the Piedmont Hotel, proved dis astrous for <\ H. Kersey, a well-known New York drummer. As a result of this combination he 1* now walking about the hotel with Ills arm In a sling, after n surgeon had put together some broken bones. E-Jndny morning Mr. Kersey and svtne of his friends were discussing the game the day before and some were telling what should have been done and what should not have been done. Mr. Kersey Is an enthusiastic football fnn and he differed with some of his friends, lie told them a certain punt made by one of the men was not made correctly. He said It was a punk punt. So lie doubled up a piece of paper and Illustrated how Ids idea of a punt would look. He put the paper wail on the floor and gently kicked It as an Blast rat Ion. But he didn’t think that kicking from • a sodded field was letter and safer than from..the tiled, floor «f the Piedmont. The next Instant he was In a heap on he.iloor. Ills arm hurt afterward and, he next day it hurt still more, but he didn’t think anything was seriously w rong. Then he culled in a doctor and the medico saw at a glance that the arm was broken. Now Mr. Kersey Is thinking unkind things about football and football play SMART CONDUCTOR HAD TO BACK UP It happened on a Central train, close to Griffin. Traveling man sat next to the window and a big suit case sat beside him. Along came Mr. Conduc tor. J “Take that grip off the seat,” he said. The passenger paid no atten tion. . “Take that grip off the seat," In sisted Mr. Conductor. Still no atten tion. Mr. Conductor picked up the grip and slammed It down In the aisle. After he passed on some devilish fellows ucross the aisle picked It up and put It back In the seat. Along then catne the conductor again. He put the grip In the aisle. The Jokers put It back ugain. This hap pened three time*. Then the conductor got mad. real mad. He picked up the offending suit cose and hurled It through the open window Into the ditch. “Now. I guess you’ll keep that grip off that seat, as I told you,” he re marked to the traveling man. The latter aroused himself for the first time and looked languidly at the conductor. “It wasn't my grip,*' he said. "I found It In the seat.’* "Clang!” went the bell, and the train bucked toward Griffin. When the bad ly smashed grip was picked up half a mile back the conductor, very repent ant. found the real owner in the smok ing car and settled for the damage done. But lie nearly broke the bell cord with the yank be gave It when he started again. And that's one reason why the Central was late that day. johnsonITounty WINS IN DISPUTE HHMIHMMIIHMUHMM 1 “A MESSAGE OF LOVE FROM A QUEEN" .. .
