1 NOT NEWS, BUT VIEWS
By PERCY H. WHITING.
Vacation time is here.
We don’t know this yet from actual experience, our only at
tempt in that line having been nipped neatly in the bud, but our
friends tell us so.
Which leads us to suggest to those about to have a vacation—
spend it in the open.
If a better way of getting recreation and building up a tired
body and worn out nerves than a camping trip has been invented,
we don't know it. (That sentence is constructed in sections, but
you can put it together any one of four ways and it makes sense.)
Get a tent, sonte cooking apparatus and plenty of good grub;
and chase out into the woods somewhere.
Preferably on a lake or river, where you can have boating
and fishing. But right out in the mountains ought not to be so
bad. Get alongside of a supply of good drinking water, and some
where where the air is fresh and plentiful and you can't • make a
bad mistake.
It doesn’t much matter how you spend your days—tramping,
hunting, fishing, or just plain loafing serve the purpose. It is the
fresh air. the bip appetite and the change of your way of living
that turn the triek.
Camping is only one of a hundred ways to get out into the
open. Walking trips are fine and cheap. Canoe trips are exciting
and not over-expensive. Automobile trips are fine, exciting and
not as expensive as you might suppose. (N. B.—First catch your
automobile. Then proceed as directed.)
Just the best way to get. near to nature is a matter that de
pends on many things. Chiefly a man’s inclination and his pocket
book. But no man is too active or too lazy, too rich or too poor to
find some way of spending his vacation that will carry him into
the fresh air and give him a change of occupation and a change of
diet.
Don’t he afraid to tackle it.
Cut away from the old ideas and get out into the fresh air.
Fish, hunt, camp, sleep and work in the open.
You will be surprised how you will improve physically and
mentally from an “open air vacation.”
Give it one trial.

“Cap” Anson Sued
By Mrs. C. P. Taft
CHICAGO. July 8.—Captain Adrian
C. Anson, one time leader of all Chi
cago's baseball hopes, "let one set thru
him” yesterday when a suit for a year's
past due rent was put over on him In
the municipal court by Mrs. Anna Tnft,
wife of Charles P. Taft, the Cincinnati
editor and brother of the Republican
presidential nominee.
Mrs. Taft Is the owner of the build-
in* at Ml Madlson-at., whers the
former baseball hero conducts a pool,
billiard and bowllns emporium.
NOT A SINGLE RUN.
Lady Fan Makes
Just Complaint
Sporting Editor The Georgian:
Will you be so kind as to give me A
little space In your valuable paper, In
regard to some nuisances In the grand
stand at Ponce DeLeon baseball park?
First. There have been several ladles
had their skirts ruined out there by to
bacco Juice and dope bottles being
turned over on the floor behind them
after they had taken their seats and
were not expecting anything to happen
I think this could be very easily rem
edied by placing a small strip on the
floor behind the seats. 1 have been one
of the sufferers myself and have seen
others suffer In the same way. I think
, the ladles should have better protection.
9 as we enjoy the games as well as the
men. 1 don't think there is any spe
cial place for ladles to sit, and the men
go where they please.
8econd. The men are getting too hold
In their betting on the games, as It
was not that way a year or two ago.
Also there Is too much profane lan
guage In the presence of ladles.
Thanking you for your kind atten
tion, I remain, a patriotic lady fan,
MRS. W. P. M.

MOBILE. Ala., July 8.—The Atlanta
team, somewhat battered by three hard
games and more than a little disgusted
with three straight defeats, left here
this morning at 8:46 for New Orleans.
The deep blue fog of the early morn
ing was a cheerful thing compared with
the "Ught-heartedest” man on the team
and a new-made grave was a thing of
Joy and gladness alongside of Billy
Smith.
If the bunch had been getting out to
go to a funeral they could not have
looked more oppressed with the outlook.
“We had hard luck here," said Bill
Smith before he left. "We can come
back and beat them three straight If
e had their luck.
"We will win some In New Orleans.
You can write that down and sign mv
name. The team Is all right, the men
are In good trim and we will make
some of them hustle before this is over.
"I will not say positively that I shall
make no changes In my team this year.
But you can put It dsown for me that
nur team will stay right up with the
best of them, at home or on the road."
Will Play Thursday.
NEW ORLEANS, July 8.—The At
lanta team Is expected here today, but
It will not play. The Nashville team
has a postponed game here today and
will play that off. Most of the Crack
ers will turn out to see their opponents
perform.
It is rather likely that Atlanta and
New Orleans will play Thursday aft
ernoon. No game Is scheduled between
the two until Friday, but Atlanta has
one postponed game. left over from a
rainy May 26. and this will probably
be decided Thursday.
Siffon Wins Two
From Macon Team
MACON, Qa„ July 8.—On account of
costly errors and failure to connect
with the ball when hits were needed.
Macon suffered defeat In a bunch Tues
day afternoon In the form of a double-
header. The Jays fielded better and
were abl# to hit when they most need
ed them.
Murdock’s home run In the second
game was made off of the first ball
pitched and cleared left , field fence
without trouble. Sltton. who held the
slab In both games for Jacksonville,
pitched wonderful ball, only giving up
seven lilts during the entire afternoon.

This is ths pitcher who worked moil of the game. against Atlanta
Wednesday. Ths Craekers lit onto his curves without much trouble.
Atlanta Team Leaves Wed
nesday For New Orleans
to Play Pelicans.
MOBILE, Ala., July 8.—Atlanta's un
lucky star has been shining here nights,
days and In between times. When the
Crackers' fielding was better than Mo
bile's, their batting was a shade worse.
When their hitting was better, woolly
fielding and hard luck beat them.
Yesterday the Crackers lost their
third straight game by a combination
of hard luck a costly error and hits when
blngles were Atlanta disasters. The
score was 3 to 2 and the game was a
simon-pure stinger from start to finish.
Cnstletq, pitched a nice game. He
allowed six hits, walked but two men.
hit only one and made one error and
yet two of the hits, the "hit batter"
and the error combined to beat him.
All the trouble for Atlanta was
bunched In the fifth. Mclver, the very
first man up. was soaked in the vicinity
of the slats, and walked to first. Gar
vin bunted and Castleton tried to pinch
Mclver at second. He threw wild, tho,
and Mclver and Garvin reached third
and second safely.
Gasklll. who hits like a fish, managed
to pop up a Texas leaguer that allowed
two men to tally. This hit proved
tnough to tie tbe game and when Gas
klll scored on" two outs and a hit by
Daley he won It. The best Atlanta
could do was to make two runs. The
team rallied time after time, but never
quite strong enough to win.
The game was brilliant In the ex
tremfc. The players on both teams tried
their beet to outdo themselves and ev
erybody else and one-handed stops and
marvelous throws followed each other
Ith a rush.
tn the eighth the Crackers lit
Ga«klll, scoring a run and forcing him
to retire. Lltle Gordon Hickman took
hla place and put the Atlanta players
to sleep.
