LET S CO MILLEDGEVILLE
In years passed, some learned
hombre made the statement that if
a baseball team fails to win the
first half pennant, it would be very
wise to make un effort to win the
last half. Since that time this state
ment has degenerated into somewhat
of a bromide, but nevertheless it
stills holds true as a very’ wise adage.
In speaking of this adage, we have
in mind the Milledgeville Bluer. We
hope that the Blues will try again
and we have every belief in the
world that if they do they will win
the last half pennant.
Various ixr-iscs could be brought
forward as to why the Blues Jailed
to win the first half, and no doubt,
the early sea-on failures of the team
are the mai- reasons for their posi
tion in third place instead of first;
however, the players, manager, and
president are to be commended for
their efforts in bringing the team
out of the hole. At the beginning of
the season, the team as a whole was
only mediocre. The pitching staff
was practically a nonenity; even the
fans were playing their position
badly. But gradually new and better
players were secured until just be
fore the close of the first half, Mil-
1< dpeville was leading the league in
t -am fielding and team batting, and
rtany of the individual leaderships
w*rc held by Blues players. So here
we are now at the beginning of the
second half.
■We're no baseball expert, but from
our amateur eyes, it looks like Mil
ledgeville all the way. The pitching
staff, one of the weak spots of the
team. ha« strengthened until it is
undoubtedly the best in the loop; the
club is fielding better every day; and
unlesr something unforseen happens
there is no pitcher in the league,
bht who will wilt before the murder
ous onslaught of the Milledgeville
batters. It is doubtful if the Blues
even know their own strength. Cer
tainly they are as strong as any team
that 'may have been in the old South
Atlantic League. We'll oven, be so
bold as to say that it is well nigh
impossible for Milledgcw'lle to
lose this second half race. Gee! but
they’re powerful.
LADIES DAY THURSDAY
Thursday will be ladies day at
Davenport Field when the Mil
ledgeville Blues meet the Barncs-
ville. Smithies .The management
has announced that each lady ac
companied by an escort will be ad
mitted for fifteen cents to the
game Thursday.
CONE
Ir, recent months, two objects,
animate the ether inam-.le have
disappeared from the daily life of
Milledgeville.
We have reference irst to Wilkins
Ba ley, the negro porter and man of
all work, who died several months
ago. At the time of his death, “Uncle
Bailey", as he was known to
white friends, was working for the
Horne-Andrews Commission Co., but
this was only one of many jobs held
by the old negro. “Uncle Bailey"
was as much a fixture in this com
munity as pot liquor or corn pone.
He was known by all people and
especially those connected in any
way with cotton. Although he held
many jobs during the course of his
life, 'Uncle Bailev” was essentially
a "cotton man”. He was as court
eous and as respectable a person as 1
we've 'ever known. Surely this com- 1
munity has suffered a loss—what
ever kind it m»y be—in the death
of “Uncle Bailey”.
The second and inanimate object
to which wo were referring is the
old wooden bench that for years Fat
in front of the store of W. W. Mil
ler. When Mr. Miller went out of
business some three months ago, this
bench was removed and long since
has doubtless been used an kindling
wood by some one who may have
taken it from the city garbage heap.
Having missed this old bench our
selves, we went to Mr. Miller in
search of information concerning said
bench. We learned that the bench
was first placed in front of the
store in 1908, twenty-five years ago.
It wa-j primarily placed there for
the use of the cotton men who fre
quented the store in search of cot
ton quotations that came in over the
telegranh wire which for a number
of years was lora'ed on the rear of
the store. After the telegraph off'ce
wns removed and the cotton men
passed, the bench fell to the use of
whomever might desire to use it- ’
And s'O for twenty-five years thif
bench was “among us as one who
servea." Truly then it was a land
mark t>f the city.
