BY EARL “LIBERTY” BELL.
HANK YOU.
hoth of you
Mikes, Kelly
and Roman. It
has been snld
that men may
go, but brooks
go on forever.
The poet must
have bad In mind
one Mr. "Bab
bling" Brooks,
who helped Au
gusta win the
PM'I
pennant hack In
1916. Brook*, recently turned over
to Auguela by Mike Kelly, peppery
pilot of the Spartans, made Ida "re
debut'' for Augusta and Warren
I'ark Wednesday afternoon and
made the Recks look like they had
attended a big barbecue or sump'll
the night before. That'* how sick
they looked against Brooks' stellar
tossing. Greenville managed to get
hut seven scattered hits off him,
and lie eaiused nine Beck* to mur
der the w. k. oxone. Mike, the Ro
man'*. triple with hasea loaded In
the flrat rack Bowed up the game
for the Tygera, giving three wins
In the four-game series. The final
score was 6 to 2.
AUGUSTA SCORES
IN TWO INNINGS.
Augusta hit •'King" Lehr rather
hard, hut was able to score In only
two Innings. Three Bpinnors dou
ble-plays to to do with 1L
Haworth, Spinner catcher, was

fourth Inning for protesting a third

left garden to finish the game be
hind the hat, lllcthen taking Ills
pluce In the garden.
Odle Strain had another good day
with the mate, rapping out two dou
bles and & single In four tries.
Brooks showed that he can also
serve In thee ride of pinch hitter by
collecting three singles In four
tries, and nearly getting a home
run Hurtllne, the old reliable, also
came through with three ainglea In
a quartet of rndeavors.
Smith, with three one-timers In
five efforts, and Blothru, with two
out of two, were best for the Spin
ners. Blilnchardt was held to one
two-haerr In four efforts, while
Beck managed to get hut one sin
gle.
Both teams put up a good brand
of fielding.
FOUR FOR TYGERS
IN FRSI STANZA.
Ne» walked to open Augusta's
first. Thomas si ruck out, Bank
ston was passed. Strain then cam*
through a double down the Beck
line which scored Nee and put Ev
erett on third. Tutwller walked, fill
ing bases Mike and Oman then
crashed one of Lehr's straight one*
to right center for three hassocks
cleaning the path*.
The Spinner* put one across in
the sixth on Khtnehardt'* two-baser
to right center, lleck * out and Per*
rltt's fly to center.
Another for the Becks In the sev
enth when Elethen singled to left.
O'Connell strolled and Smith smash
ed a long one-timer to left.
BROOKS DRIVES
IN A COPLE.
With two down In the eighth
llartltne heat out a hit. Roman
singled to left. Clayton walked,
filling bases. Brooks, who had col
lected two singles, then stepped Up
and nearly knocked one down the
visiting shortstops throat. The
hall bounced to the outfield and

ahead of tlielr nearest rivals, the
Charlotte Hornets, left last night
for a week on the road. They play
In Macon the rest of the week and

SHOW HELD IN HENDERSONVILLE
More Than 2000 People Witness Season’s First Horse
Show; Ring Colorful Scene During Events; Augu

ridge One of Judges
HENDERSONVILLE, N. C.—Lex
ington Bov, owned hy Mrs. A. 8.
Wheeler, High Cloud, Miss Henrietta
Briggs, and Little Mink, Mrs. Reuhen
Robertson, were the outstanding
horses In more than 50 of the best
saddle mounts In Western North
Carolina which took part In the sad
dle horss show held here recently.
Threatening peather and occasional
rsln failed to dampen the spirit of
more than 2,000 people who crowded
the grandstands. Each entry and
rider was applauded, with Miss Mut
lally as the star of the afternoon,
hy capturing two first places and one
second.
In all the show was a complete
success. Colorful sideline attractions
such a* the entire Greystone Camp,
composed of more than 100 girls oc
cupying an entire section of the
grandstands and a large delegation
and 15-ptece band from the Georgia
Military Academy.
Besides the exhibition of the sad
dle horses by both men and women,
Members of Troup F, Asheville's con
tingent of North Carolina's ■cavalry
regiment, gave a daring display of
horeinanshtp In Roman riding, trick
riding, and Jumping. Truck riding
by Corporal Clayton was a decided
feature of the army's part in the pro
gram.
Kidlny Gypsy, Miss Mullally was
awarded first prlie in the first event
on the program, women's three gaited
horses, over a field of mure than 25
contestants. So expert were those
entered, the Judges were forced to
make three cuts in the numbers of
entries before they were able to pick
the winners. Little Mink, with Miss
Earle up was awarded second place,
ami Bismark, ridden by Miss Brook,
took third honors.
While the competition for the
men's threo gaited horses was stiff,
there Were not as many entries, but
the Judges were forced to close study
before Lexington Boy, with Mr.
Fades. UP was given the blue ribbon.
Gypsy, ridden by Mr. Dodge, and Bls
niark with Sergeant Bryson, In the
saddle, were given second and third
ilbbons respectively.
When the children's pony class was
called there were so many horses of
various heights, some which might
have gone In the senior events, while
other* were Shetland*. This forced
the Judges to make two flights, th*
taller ponies In one while the Shet
land* made up th* other group.
Martha Argent, riding Blue Bear
was adjudged winner In the smaller
class, with Herman Davis riding
Billy, second. Frances Greynolds,
astride Kate, a Shetland not much
larger than a good alxe dog. taking
third honors. In the larger class.
Lady, ridden by Gladys Threefoot,
easily won th* first prlxe with Daisy.
Jack Baker up. second and Circus,
Kathleen Raoul astride, third.
This clas*. while lacking th# many
gal s of their larger competitors,

program.

Press-Box Pick-Ups
By HUGH KINCHLEY
THAT’S PITCHIN’, BROOKS!
The husky righthander who was
Instrumental In hoisting the Sally
League pennant of 1916 to the top
of the flagpole at Warren Park,
boosted the Tygers a notch nearer
the championship of 1924 when he
twirled superb ball against the
Greenville club on the occasion of
his debut as a member of Johnny
Nee's aggregation.
Only seven hite were chipped off
Brooks’ delivary, and these were so
spacsd that they could do no real
damage, while nine stnke-outs ara
recorded to th# cradit of tha latest
addition to the Tygers’ hurling
staff.
And Mr. Brooks also made It
evident to those assembled to gaze
upon yesterday’# pastime, that he
brought batting power as well as
pltchltg ability to our ball. Three
tlmrs during the afternoon did
Mister Brook* connect safely, and
each of his blows were reguiar he
htts.
Mike Roman, of the Augusta base
ball club, who in private life is Mr.
Must Chromyak, of Mahanoy City.
Penneylvanta. took a leading part
In the Tygers' victory on Wednes
day afternoon.
Mike, who as offtimes been ac
claimed the noblest Roman of them
all. smacked out a triple with the
bases all occupied in th# first in
ning, and batted In enough runs to
win the ball game.
Just a quartette of the Tygers
did the hitting for the whole crowd
Wednesday, but they hit In har
mony.
Strain hit a pair of doubles and
a single. Brooks and Hartline each
hit for a trio of single*, and Mike
Roman whacked out a three-bag
ger and a one-bagger.
Strain's clutch of O'ConneH's wal
lop that put the 9am* m motion,
ond our Shippoe's interception of a
difficult roller off Carter in tho
third, wars among th# brightest
bits of dtfentivt play on behalf of
tho Tygers.
Eiiggs up, was given the blue rib
bon m the women’s five gaited horse
cl.iF.s, over a large field. While on
many occasions the horse broke his
strides in the various gaits the
Judges gave him the decision over
iGnger, ridden by Miss Mullally.
Moonshine ridden, by Mrs. Kraft, was
given third place.
Little Mink, ridden by Mr. Eade*.
was adjudged winner of the blue no
bon in the men’s five-gaited horse
class. Mr. Fades easily won this
event, his horse responding to the
various gaits upon call and other
wise demonstrated his ability as a
saddler. High Cloud, with J. T. Bunn
up was given the second ribbon and
Chaj-lesy with Norman Hildebrand
up, third place.
Only three hunters and Jumpers
were entered in the Jumping events,
all being owned by Troop F and rid
den by members of the military. Dan
ger, a horse able to clear a six-foot
bar, with Corporal Clayton up, was
given the blue ribbon, with Bumble
bee, Sergeant Bryson up and Fleet,
Sergeant SKytle up, taking honors as
named. All of the horses cleared the
l»a reasily, showing splendid form
with their riders sharing in the
honors.
Following the jumpers the Judges
had their hardest job of the after
noon in picking the best woman
rider. More than 30 riders con
spicuous in their blazer riding habits
made a pretty scene, while their
mounts glistened in the sun. Round
the ring they rode at gaits suiting
themselves before the judges award
ed Miss Mullally, astride Gypsy as
the most finished of the entrants.
Miss Elizabeth Martin on Bumblebee
was second choice with Miss Brook
on Bismark as third.
Only two entrants among the wom
en entered the ring for the women’s
jumpers and hunters, and while there
was little competition both Miss Cath
erine Rouland of Augusta and Miss
Cox cleared the bar at more than
four feet. The former was given the
blue ribbon with the latter receiving
second place.
Among other riders from Augusta
who took part were Miss Nancy
Clark and Miss Betty Wallace.
Following the various classes,
Sergeauts Bryson and Shytle and
Corporal Clayton gave a thrilling ex
hibition of Homan, pyramid and fancy
riding the closing feature.
Corporal Clayton gave a show all
by himself in trick riding
At the conclusion of th© program
of Troop F. Lexington Boy, Mrs. A.
S. Wheeler, Gypsy. Brookshire Sta
bles. and Little Mink. Mrs. Reuben
Robertson, were led into the ring for
Judgment as to the best horse in the
show with Mrs. Wheeler’s entry re
ceiving the blue ribbon, and the
other two entries second and third
places in order named.
Winners of the various classes
were presented with handsome loving
cups In addition to the ribbons.
Judges for the show were: Major
Williams, M. W. Partridge and WildV
Brown.
Haworth, who performs behind
the bat far the Becks, took exoep
tlon to Umpire Frank Shaeffer's
Judgment on a called third strike,
and gave vent to his disapproval
by throwing his war-club into the
air.
This action caused a fine to, be
assessed against the Greenville
catcher, and wa* followed by
orders to spend the remainder of
the afternoon within the confines
of the visitors' dugout.
Haworth, who had fanned twice,
was replaced in the batting order
by Blethen. who hit safely on each
of his trips to the plate, so the
Spinners wgre rather helped than
harmed by their backstop'a expul
sion.
Umpire Frank SHaeffer, address
ing tha folks uptown last svaning
after the game, made known that
ha had assessed fines agsinst John
ny Nes, "Rsd” Thomas and Hart
line during tho aeries just closed.
It was suggested by one of the
fans who was seated near the
press-box , Wednesday afternoon
that a klan be organized for the
purpose of visiting vengeance upon
offending umpires, and someone
else was heard to remark that the
two officials upon the diamond
would have nothing to fear from
such a society, aa^ neither one of
them was any part of an umpire.
And the Higginses beat the Hor
nets again.
We'll have to send some silver
up to Asheville.

Detroit Beats Yankees, 7-5
St. Louis Wins Sixth Straight
EW YORK. St.
Louis continues to
burn up the Am
erican League cln
derpath and to at
tract more atten
tion than any other
club in the circuit.
As a result of their
fifth straight vic
tory over Wash
ington, 6 to 5,
which Incidentally
was their sixth
straight win and
their ninth in ten
starts, the Browns
Thursday seriously
threaten the supremacy of the three
leaders. Sisler’s sensational aggrega
tion is only three and a half games
behind the top-notch Yanks, two and
a half in the rear of the Tigers and
a half game in the wake of the Sena
tors.
An opportune rainstorm at the
close of the fifth Inning gave Detroit
a 5 to 2 decision over New York on
the strength of a half day's work.
The Tigers drove Bush to cover In the
first frame and were even less con
siderate of Mamaux. Ruth hung up
his 3Gth circuit drive In the fourth.
Cleveland, emulating Its Missouri
neighbors, is nursing an embryo win
ning streak of its own. By their Bto
5 triumph over Boston the Indians
made it four straight. Boone of the
Red Sox hit his third homer of the
series.
The Giants added .another game to
an already overwhelming lead by
downing Chicago 5 to 2 while Pitts
burg was losing to Brooklyn. The
National League champions are now
In the van by eight games and a half.
McGraw’s outfit salted away the con
test in the opening round by counting
