Lefty Willis Pitches Brilliant
Game in His Debut Before
a Local Crowd
Raymond Rice
Marietta’s baseball team demon
strated their fighting qualities again
Saturday when they overcome a two
run lead of Buford and finally won
the game 6 to 4.
The entire team looked good and
to pick the individual star would be
a hard proposition. However, Lefty
Willis, who was on the mound for
the localg, probably ‘deserves most
ceredit for winning the game. For a
time it looked like his teammates
were determined to give the game to
Buford, but this teady lad never
failed to give them all he had and
after an inning or two his comrades
rallied around him and put the old
ball game on ice. " .
The team work of the boys showed
much improvement over that dis
played in the Piedmont game and
with a little practice and a few more
games together they should reach a
high state of efficiency.
D. B. Eskew, on first base, played
the game of his life, Thig boy has
cshown more stuff so far than any of
the others when it comes to fielding.
He stopped several wild throws Sat
urday that had they passed him would
have meant defeat for the locals.
D. B. is a man that Marietta cannot
afford to lose: He is exceedingly
popular with the fans ag are the re
mainder of the team.
Buford started things off with a
bang in the first inning by pushing
two runs across the plate. Marietta
retaliated with one in the initial
frame. Buford scored again in the
ififth but this time the locals only ol

in Forsyth county and gave chase.
The liquor car, a Dodge, lead the way
through Milton county, Guinnett
county and intoe Dekalb before the
final capture Was made. The en

his name as Loy Rice, they found
120 gallons of liquor. One other
occupant of the car made his es
cape,

when Coyle and his assistants caught
two men loading five gallons of whis

the (car line. The men gave their
‘nantes as Chas, Childres, white and
Grady Rawson, colored.

| Tugsday when information furnished
- ,'vht; Mr. Coyle laid in wait
‘pperators of a still a few miles from
Marietta in the neighborhood of Mr.
Tom Garrett’s store. Mr. Coyle
placed himself in view of the still
and waited quietly until about 5:15
Tuesday morning when four men
came to the still and began work.
The men were at their task with all
ease and ceremony and were chat
ting merrily when Mr. Coyle ap
proached. Three men, John Waters,
Truelman Pace, and Chas. Helton
were arrested, the other escaped.
At the still was found 3000 gallons
of beer, 50 gallons of whiskey, 22
large fermentors and an 85 gallon
copper distillery. The entire equip
ment covered a large plot of ground
and from evidence later discovered

about two years. A good road had
been prepared right up to the still

H. SCHOOL BUILDING
To Be Ready For Pupils On Sep
témber 1, Says President
Of Board
The new High School building
looks very different now from -what
it looked two weeks ago. Where two
weeks ago we saw a pile of brick
and mortar, hardly recognizable as
a building, we now see the walls of
a Beautiful schoolhouse. The walls
of the building are even with the roof
in front and almost finished in the
rear. The walls. of sthe auditorium
are lowest and they are about half
way finished.
The heating plant has been put
in, the boiler being several times
as large as the one in the old build
ing. A great deal of the plumbing
is completed ané the rest is being
worked on at a top rate of speed.
Mr. Boston, president of the board
stated Lhat thirty percent of the
structure has been completed and un
less unseen trouble develops, the
building will be ready for occupan
cy by the first of September in time
for school opening. The board is
encouraged by the work that has
been accomplished and are doing
their utmost to have the buiiding fin
ished as soon as possible.
Park Rail Painted
By Civitans and
Rotarians Friday
A strange sight greeted all who hap
pened to be around the square last
Friday afterncon about four o’clock,
when the Civitang and Rotarians all
pitched in to paint the park rail
There were men in straw hats, felt
hats, black hats, and brown hats, a
still wider variation of suits, some of
them garbed in overalls, the most sen
sible clothing for such work. A
crowd soon gathered around and
laughed as a few men, unused to
work of that kind, tried in vain to
get the paint on the rail instead of on
their clothing.
On one sidesof the square a bunch
of small boys gathered and tried to
give advice as to how it was done,
but the men stuck seriously to their
task and finished without the help
of the young onlookers. The rail
looks fine now and their work is ap
preciated by the people as well as
‘the city officials.
