Play ers around the circuit began to throw the Insult at me and told me McElveen had started it As a man I couldn't stand it I might have Jumped on Mc- Elveen at the ball park yesterday, but that would have hurt baseball. I might have waited until he came to Mont gomery. but that would have been eon - ardly There was Just one time to thrash him and 1 improved it. 1 will « hip or try to whip any man who says about tm what McElveen did.

S. A., Transferred From r / 17th to Negro Regiment. ■ Captain George Stuenenberg, the United States army officer who took a fling at Atlanta and things in general in Georgia - when he came here from San Antonio with the Seventeenth infantry, has been trans ferred to the Twenty-fifth infantry, a negro regiment, stationed at Fort Lawton, r Seattle, i Orders effecting Captain Steunenberg's transfer came just before the third bat talion of the Seventeenth left for Annis-. 1 ton for the summer maneuvers. The gal- I lant captain, still retaining his own and none too complimentary opinion of At lanta. left immediately for the Ear West. It will be remembered that Captain Steunenberg. a brother of the slain gov ernor of Idaho, hailed from Boise. He said in a letter published in a Boise news paper that Atlanta was an over-grown country town. The people here, he de ■ ilared. always were asleep. The banks and the banking system he pronounced , atrocious. The streets were cow paths, lanes or something or other not named nor numbered, and the pedestrian didn’t walk, but shambled. t’aptaln Steunenberg is famous in the army as a poet. His verses about the cats at the Fort Leavenworth are army traditions. He is sometimes accredited with being the "funny” man of the army. ONE GIRL KILLED. 2 HURT IN A JOY RIDE SMASH-UP READING.
