Clay Steals Second The ability of the Power Company boys to hit when hits meant runs coupled with a few timely errors by the locals proved fatal to Lefty Wil lis and his teammates here Wednes day. The local twirler pitched a fine game, but let the visitors bunch their hits just a little too often. Keys, pitching for the Arkwright men, also pitched a good game, giving up ele ven hits while his teammates gleaned twelve off of Lefty. Things started .off wrong in the first frame for the Smokers when Chatham, the second man up for the Power Company singled after Hicks had gone out on an infield fly to Wil lis. Dowda next up doubled, sending Chatham to third, who scored on a sacrifice hit by London. Here Lefty became master of the situation again and whi‘sked three swift ones past Thurmond before he realized that he was up at the plate. This ended the fireworks. . In the next three innings Lefty pitched beautiful ball, striking out two and allowing only one hit. The visitors scored again in the fifth when Dargan, first up singled. Englet is still looking for the three balls he struck at. Marion forced Dargan ati second on an infield hit and took third on a long single by Keys. Hicks pushed Marion across the plate. for the second couwnter when he sent a long single to left field. Keys went out trying to steal second. After there were two out the lo cals found Keys for four hits which when ccupled with Hicks’ error proved to be four runs. After Es kew and Willis went out on long flies to the outfield Partridge singled and stole second, scoring on Mauriers double. Maurjer in turn scored on Pug’s double. At this stage of the game Hamilton went in for Clay who had hurt his leg when sliding into third during the previous inning, Hammie delivered with a short single advancing Pug to third. Old Ham bone stole second and he and Pug both scored when Hicks tossed the ball over the second baseman’s head. Jake struck out, ending the scoring. Keys had the locals at his mercy from Sparkles From the Diamond “Whoop ’em up” men old Freckles Barnes is due to arrive in town to morrow. The local fans are awaiting the arrival of this prodigal son just like a bunch of kids waiting for a circus to make its spectacular en trance into their town. Red has cer tainly been missed. If this “spec kled” lad hits them like he did before he departed for summer school he will certainly prove a blessing during the hard games that are staring the locals in the face for this last month. Ed % % The joy of the return of Freckles to the fold was somewhat dimmed by the departure of old Joe Barton. This lad has won a nich for himself in the heart of every local fan by his hard playing and winning disposition. Joe has only been with us for a short time but he made friends that will never forget him and if he ever wants to come back we can assure him a hearty welcome and maybe we can get the “home town band” out to meet him. * * * Porter, Canton’s veteran catcher, is still contending that Marietta only made eight runs instead of the nine credited to them. He is still una ware that Maurier trotted home from third in the eighth while Bloodworth was winding up. We can hardly blame Porter from not seeing this greased streak of lightning. * * ¥ What a treat the fans have in store for them this month. Starting off the month by playing the Naval Air Service team two games followed closely by four with Joe Jackson’s Waycross sluggers, and after mixing it up with a few more during the middle of the month they end the #season’s campaign with four strug gles with the Tate Marble cutters.

In the ninth the visitors scored four runs off of two hits, a base on balls and two errors. This gave them a lead that was impossible to overcome and the game ended 7 to 4 in favor of the Atlanta outfit. The feature of the game from the local viewpoint was the playing of old Clay Parrish before his injury made it necessary for him to retire. Out of three trips to the plate he connected with three—a double and two singles. But that isn’t all, he‘l actually stole second. We wonder if the fan who said “The day of mira cles isn’t over” is right. The box score follows: MARIETTA AB. R. H. E. TR BN . ... .8 1.1 0 ...

He ‘appeared on the field in an old straw ' bonnet like he used to wear down on ‘the farm.

Lefty Willis had a little hard luck | Wednesday. He crossed the plate twice but couldn’t score. The first time he took one base too many af ter the Ump had been hit.

CONQUERORS OF MARINES PLAY LOCALS SERIES This week-end gives promise to be: one of the liveliest spent by Captain Pug and his ball tossers in some time. The local boys will cross bats with' the Naval Air Service nine from| Pensacola. This is one of the strong-l est ameteur teams in the south. They have proved victor over most of the teams they have met. According to‘ a telegram received here a .few days ago they won both games from the Marine nine on the Paris Island dia mond. This has hitherto been con sidered an impossible feat. Marietta may come out on the little end of the score (we doubt it very serious ly however,) but the Bluejackets can count on a hard scrap from the “Fighting Smokers.” Cartersville will be the scene of the first encounter between these two teams Friday afternoon. On Satur day the boys come back to the local pasture for the last contest. The line-up for the Naval team is as follows: O’Keefe, second; Billings, catcher; Young, third; Peck, short stop; Jones, right field; Neil, first; Suchy, center field; Davis, left field; Smith, Surrat, Frick, pitchers; Mec- Call, utility. RELIGIOUS TEACHING The Scotch are a great people, clear-headed and self-respecting. They have kept the regard of the world through the centuries. One wonders if many of their fine quali ties have not been the outcome of their deep, country-wide reverence for the Bible and their constant read ing of it. One day I said to an old Scotch lady with whom I was having a cup of tea, “You tell me you never went to school, yet you are a well educated woman.” “Yes, I was a long mile from a school when I was a child,” she said, “but we children all learned to read from the Bible. We grew familiar with the words of the texts on our walls and from reading the Bible I learned to love to read other books.” The child who has no early reli gious training has had left out of his life something very great indeed. Its influence stays with him as long as believes whether he realizes it or not. Surely a life is enriched by having the music of the psalms and the wis dom of Solomon as part of his na ture. Familiarity with the Bible and the daily, actual living of its truths are a heritage all parents can give their chidren.—Progressive Farmer., P e 2N\ ‘\\ ‘A " /i 7 \ e \\ & \ // =7 \ \\\\ —/\ 3 :,.';: {' i &) £ S T'he Final N~ lros Of a Well Dressed Man is his Shirt and Tie.

Louie Clots Out Homer With Bases Loaded. Big Crowd Goes From Here to Support Locals. If Pug and his boys don’t slow up there won’t be any ‘“bacon” left in Canton for the locals “Brought home the bacon” from Canton for the fifth straight time this season last Saturday when they triumphed over the Cherokee boys by the score of 9 to 5. The game was marked by rather erratic playing on both sides. At one moment it looked like a Detroit- New York game while at the next it resembled a Chattanooga-Little Rock affair. Jake held the Canton boys runless until the sixth inning when five hits and several errors pushed across three runs. After this first taste of blood the home town lads continued to pile up runs until they amassed a total of five. old “Jay Bird” Partridge, the lead off man for the locals reached first on an error in the very first frame. Maurier next up advanced him to sec ond on a sacrifice. Pug did the un usual and struck out Then Clay, the “noblest Roman of them all” stepped to the bat and finding one to his taste lifted it out into the field for a long single, scoring Jay. Barton went out and ended the inning with an easy grounder to second. In the third the locals found Blood worth again for four runs. Jay again started the ball rolling with a long triple. Maurier popped up to first holding Jay on third. Bryant was hit by a pitched ball and took first. Parrish walked filling the bags Here old Lewie, the reliable, stepped up to the plate and deliberately knocked a homer, cleaning the bags. It might be mentioned here that Lew ie had to stop several times on his way home so as not to run past Clay Wall ended the fireworks with a long fly to left. The locals didn’t score again un til the eighth when Maurier got on after an error by Bloodworth. He went to second on the next play when went out, Boswell to Terrell. Parrish fanned and Barton got on by an error which sent Adrian to third. Evidently he got tired of standing around for he picked up his baggage and stole home. The locals scored three ‘more runs in the last frame off of four hits and a couple of errors. The box score follows: MARIETTA Ab.H R E Sarage. 2h. ... ...

The women who cannot buy receive them for Christmas; and even the men, who sometimes pretend to de spise them, delight in going to the barbar now and then and getting lo tioned and powdered. Talcum is one of those luxuries that becomes a necessity after famil iarity with it because after the bath it is like the bloom of a peach—not essential but delightful nevertheless. By the way, talking of peaches, be fore handling them dust the neck well with talcum to prevent irrita tion from your fuzzy hands touching the skin. All talcums are about the same but the perfumes that go with them are not. Therefore, select for the baby a pure talcum with a little boric acid and little or no, perfume, For adultsl any desirable perfume or wcolor can be chosen but like bottle perfume, for godness sake, have the fragrance light and clean rather than heavy and pervading.—Progressive Farmer R e — ~ Tomatoes once were called love ap ‘ples.

Sessions, won the light weight championship of the R. O. T. C. students of the Fourth Corps area at Camp McClellan, Ala., according to a dispatch received from the train ing center. < The fights were held under the su pervision of the recreation officer of the camp and produced some fine boxers. The tournament plan was followed, each student fighting until he was eliminated. Sessions won from C. H. Sense of the Citadel in the finals. The sportsmanship of the local boy won him much applause and praise from the vast crowd gathered for the finals. Lee could have easily knocked his opponent out in the first round had he seen fit, but when the oppo nent of the local boy would drop his guard Sessions would back away in stead of pushing the fight 1:0 a knock out. General Winnens, Commander of the Camp; Col. Shelden, Commander of the Eighth Infantry and the R. O. T. C. camp, and Major Hatfield, Com mander of the R. O. T. C. battalion were all at the ringside and were generous in their praises for the local athlete.
