Two O'Connors Who Will Probably
Face Each Other in Game Saturday
TUB O’CONNOR, BENEDICTINE
QUARTERBACK.
Benedidine-Academy Game Saturday
to Be Most Spectacular ot the Year
Coach Wilson is Putting His Men Through Grilling Work.
Benedictine Anxious to Make Better Showing Than Savan
nah High. •
'Die gridiron battle .Saturday be
tween Benedictine College of Savan
nah, and Richmond Academy, gives
promise of being the most spectacular
of the local season. Judging from re
ports, the B. C. eleven is mighty
fast, while local followers of the game
can vouch for the speed of the Acad
emy machine.
The Savannah men arc coming de
termined to show to better advantage
than the Savannah High. The rivalry
between the Savannah High and Ben
edictine Is as Intense as that between
Georgia and Tech —their annual
Thanksgiving game is the football
event of the year down in the coast
city. For the first time in several
years B. C. appears to have the edge
on their rivals. Savannah High held
the locals to a 19-6 score, which means
that the dope indicates that the Satur
day. match will he close.
Grilling Work for Locals.
Coach Wilson it putting the locals
through the most grilling sort of
training in preparation for the hard
games ahead. For the past two af
ternoons strenuous scrimmage work
ha,? been the order, the squad being
divided intcf two nearly equally match
ed teams. After three-quarters of an
hour of scrimmage, the regulars put
in a half hour or so of signal practice.
Several new formations are being
tried out, and it is expected that these
will open the eyes of the Benedictines
Strenuous Efforts For Retention of
Early Morning Train Into Augusta,
Say 40 People Depend on Picayune
General Manager Wickersham to Be Asked Not to Take Off
Early Morning Train Into Augusta---“ Let Picayune Come
From Union Point and Call it Anything You Like; Just Keep
a Train on That Arrives About 9 A. M.,” Say Those Who
Patronize “Pic.”
The patrons of the Picayune train on
the Georgia Railroad are not letting
any grass grow under their feet and
will -make a vigorous protest to Gen
eneral Manager Wickersham and the
• ieorgia railroad commission for this
train to be retained, or at least one
train which will arive in the city about
9 o’clock each week-day moning.
"We do not care whether it is called
the Picayune, the Buckhead or the
Union Point train.” said one gentle
man in discussing the matter, ’all we
want is a train. There are at least
40 people dependent upon the Picayune
to reach Augusta each morning. This
train has been operated for a great
many years and many of us have pur
chased homes long the Georgia road
with the idea of coming to and going
from- the city on the Picayune, and if
the first train to arrive in Augusta
comes at 11 o'clock we shall be so dis
commoded that we may have to sac
rifice our homes and come to the city
to live.
“We are not quarreling with the
Georgia mad about its desire to take
off at least two trains, that is one com

Coach Wilson has not decided upon
his line-up for the first kick-off: it

New Jerseys.
The team will come out for the first
time Saturday in their new jerseys.
They were ordered in time for de
livery before the Riverside game, but
were unduly delayed. The jerseys
are orange and black, but without the
letters. Under the new ruling of the
athletic association, the letter will he
presented, at the close of the season,
to all who have participated in two
thirds of the games, excluding prac
tice games.
The players declare that the new
jerseys will never be stained by de
feat and are. preparing to demonstrate
the truth of this declaration Satur
day.
ing out, for we realize that business is
not good now, and we believe that
General Manager Wickersham is sin
cerely desirous of doing all that he can
for the patrons of the road, but we be
lieve that he will make a mistake in
not giving the people along the road
a train to come to Augusta on early
in the morning. The Picayune can
come from Union Point each morning
and although the people will have to
get up early in the morning to catch
it, still that is no particular hardship
to folks who come to the city once
every two weeks or once a month. We
believe that when we show the matter
to Mr, Wickersham in the proper light
he will agree with us that we ought
to have some train on which to arrive
in Augusta early in tire morning. We
hope that the question will be settled
soon and permanently and we are con
fident that as soon soon as the gen
eral manager fully appreciates the sit
uation he will let us keep the morning
train.”

AUGUSTA “TRY-OUTS”
PASSED ON BY DUDLEY
Future Augusta Manager Likes
Selection Made By President
Kalbfleisch. Good Prospects.
President Kalbfleisch, of the Augus
ta Baseballe Association, received a
letter from Manager Dudley this morn
ing stating that he, Dudley, had gone
over the list of try-outs given him,
taking each individual player in turn
and as a result of his observations had
decided that all were worthy of a
"try."
All on the list handed Dudley by Mr.
Kalbfleisch are good men, taking it
from Augusta’s future manager. Where
the local association’s president re
ceived his dope to get eleven good
try-outs cinched can not be learned.
All that is known, however, is that
President Kalbfleisch connected with
them, and “hit the nail on the head”
In every case, that is. so far.
Dudley also stated that he is not
waiting until the last moment to build
up his team but is using every method,
and has been doing so since the sign
ing of his contract. As a result, with
the co-operation of the local president,
he now has every thing mapped out
tor the try-out period, the training
season and then the opening game of
the season —and last but not least, if
things go through without a hitch,
which they will no doubt do, for a
team that will make a name for Itself
during the 1515 season.
Augusta created somewhat of a
sensation last year. “Dud” says that
he is not making any predictions, hut
is willing to say that if its possible he’s
going to have a set of thrillers for the
coming season.
Things are somewhat dead In base
ball circles Just now in this burg, the
only baseball "game’’ being talk of the
future team. However, Judging from
the enthusiastic talk, the local team is
going to be well supported next year,
jf so—Augusta will be prominent in
that first division.

THE AUGUSTA HERALD. AUGUS'A, UA.
BUSINESS ASPECT
NOTARY MEETING
Mr. Tracy I. Hickman, Cotton
Manufacturer, Advocates the
Adoption of Khaki Uniforms.
Condemns the “Buy-a-Bale”
Movement.
Tiie question of the adoption of
khalci summer uniforms for officials
of railroads, police and fire depart
ments was taken up at the regular
meeting of the Rotary Club of Au
gusta on Wednesday, Nov. 18, in a
wav which is calculated to bring re
sults. The speaker of the day was
Mr. Tracy I. Hickman, president of
the American Cotton Manufacturers’
Association, who lent his hearty en
dorsement to tlie plan, known as the
Hudson Plan.
Mr. Hickman pointed out the mani
fold advantages of the aclieme as a
solution of the "cotton consumption”
problem.
He laid particular stress on a point
which has been clamorous In the minds
of eotton men for a long tinne, —but
which few of them have had the tem
erity to voice,—and that Is the iniquity
of the “buy-a-bale” movement.
Doesn’t Solve Question.
As Mr. Hickman pointed out, this
buy a bale proposition does nothing
towurcis solving the question of cotton
consumption. Through it a certain
amount of cotton will merely be held
off the market for n certain length
of time, to flood the market later. Tt
is not a solution, only an expedient
for postponing the evil hoc
should he used, taken permanently oil
the market, put into some form of
value and, in short, consumed.
In no way, Mr. Hickman said, couhl
tills consumption be effected better
than through the co-operation of the
railroads, electric railways, and mu
nicipal authorities in adopting cotton
goods for officials’ summer uniforms.
A khaki uniform, in the first place,
can be procured for one fifth tlie
price of the serge suits at present in
use by conductors, motormen, police
men and firemen. They could have
five suits instead of one for the same
Price. Secondly, hr called attention
to the great benefits the. railroads,
especially, derived from the cotton
manufactories and the consequent
support which they ought to lend lo
the industry. From his own mills,
Mr. Hickman said, where 60,000 spin
dles were in operation, he paid an
nually lo the railroads more than
SOO,OOO in freight. What must they
derive from tHe 30,000,000 spindles in
the country?
In Any Color.
Khaki or similar material, may he
obtained in any color desired. It Is
more sanitary than wool, bring wash
able. It Is more comfortable ns well
as rpore appropriate for summer wear,
and altogether there seems to be every
reason for Its adoption, and no reason
against.
By using its own cotton, Mr. Hick
man said, tlie South will lie helping
to support itself, which is in the end
the question of the most vital Im
portance at the present time.
For Its Adoption.
A resolution was adopted by the Ro
tary Club that the club, as a body,
lend its weight to the support of the
plan in inducing the authorities in
this vicinity to adopt the khaki uni
forms. Furthermore, a committee was
appointed with Instructions to com
municate with every Rotary Club in
the country and enlist their co-opera
tion in the movement, which may he
spread to (he entire United States.
Captain Hudson, the originator of
tlie idea, was the guest of the dull
at the luncheon and made, a few re
marks.
Air. Frank Rarrett, cotton factor,
and Mr, George Wilman, cotton ex
porter, also gave the club some views
bearing on Ihe question. Roth gentle
men heartily endorsed the movement
as an excellent notion and expressed
themselves In accord with Mr. Hick
man’s views.
Last Night’s Play
"The Silent Voice" has a message
for every ope. It is a play with a [im -
pose and a punch. It is a. pity every
Augustan couldn't see it, for Mr.
Skinner delivers a lay sermon more
powerful than any prelate, more lienu
tiftil than the eloquence of pulpit
ministers, bringing home so forcibly'
the truth that the only happiness that
is lasting consists in doing for others
Otis Skinner improves with age. It
would be hard to imagine how he
could have ever been better than he
is in "The Silent Voice.” In this great
melo-drama he ban splendid oppor
tunities for the display of his power
ful talents, a vehicle, so to speak, by
which this great actor can deliver a
message to the world that is as old as
Christianity itself, yet which every
lime one tells it is sweeter than be
| fore. A gospel of love for one's fellow
man is preached by Otis Skinner, un
accompanied by any forms or rere
j monies.
Mr. Skinner has surrounded him
self with an able cast. Mrs. Skinner
ias Mildred, portrays that type of old
maid who makes the world sweeter
| and better by her having lived. She
was one of those noble women wno
-had not been mated to any man as tier
c< mpanlon for life, probably because
I she had been overlooked by the, mas
culine persuasion in their mad desire
|to grab the wall flowers or the friv
olous sort who never take life se-
I riously and who are ill prepared to
I assume the duties of wife and mother
hood. Mildred and Montgomery Starr
would have been well suited. Kach

Mildred was the proper age for the
afflicted musician, for It wus she who
gave him comfort in his hours of
trouble, it was slip who saved him
from a leap over the parapet wall and
the world thereby would have lost a
character it could ill afford to have
relinquished. The logical ending of
the play wns for Marjorie to go to
Bobby and Mildred to comfort Monty,
hut the dramatist did not so decree.
He brought Marjorie to the feet of
her noble and generous Monty, over
awed by hts all consuming love and
unselfishness, and in tlie new Marjorie
there was a regenerated, reconstruct
ed woman. Miss Florence Fisher as
Marjorie, was splendid. In fact, when
every part was played as it was laHt
night one does not criticise and can
only adulate.
In the first place, "The Silent Voice”
demonstrates that it often requires
some sorrow in one's life before he
can come to himself. In Monty's case
it was, first, the deprivation of the
greatest gift thnt nature had endowed
him with, added to the realization
that his wife did not love him. only
married him through a sense of grat
itude and admiration for his noble
qualities, ami an accidental view of
the sufferings of others which made
his own insignificant by comparison.
Many a son never comes to him
self until a gray haired mother’s heart
Is broken; many a, drunken father;
never reforms until a white hearse
heads for the cemetery with a. little
coffin In which lies that which waa
nearest and dearest his heart. Monty
went down Into the depths of sorrow,
he drank bitter dregs of disappoint
ment in love and in his art, but it took
the former to bring out the real Monty.
The mistake of one of middle ago
taking to hlmHelf a mere child to he
his lifetime companion has been
preached upon nd Infinitum for
countless years, and this was not the
strongest point of the play anyway.
The strongest feature was Monty’s
sermon to men.
"Man's inhumanity to man makes
countless angels mourn" is a truism
which has rung down ttie centuries
nnd indeed, it is a wonder that sor
row isn't brought to Ihe door of more
people that they might look through
the lenses into mote parks in this
great country and see and sympathise
with the thousands who have been
left homeless and stranded by a for
tune they could not control.
Again, the only real happiness in
life is in making others happy and
“The Silent Voice" strikes with pe
culiar force now while thousands of
unemployed men roam the streets In
our cities, leaving other thousands of
babes nnd mothers at heme without
sufficient nourishment; while millions
in war-torri Kurope are suffering the
pangs of hunger nnd feeling the frost
bite of winter, Insufficiently clad,
homelesa, helplesa, almost hopeless.
It would seem that those who have
an abundance of worldly goods would
get their chlefest pleasures from help
ing others, in Augusta, in America, In
Kqrqpe, everywhere, for 'Tnnsmueh as
ye have done it unto on# of the least
of these ye have done It unto me."
