UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA.—
Preparatory to the real big ’varsity
baseball season, a schedule of class

urdays before the regular season
opens. In case of inclement weath
< r, the schedule will be moved up one
date, or as many as necessary, until
Wednesday, February 24, when class
games must stop for fear of their in

of these class games, some material
for ’varsity that might otherwise be
hard to find will be brought out. Fol
lowing is the schedule:
Wednesday, January 27—Freshmen
vs. Sophomores.
Saturday, January 30. —Juniors vs.
Lawyers.

MULL IS AFTER
NEW SHORTSTOP
Cad Coles is Now in Jay
ville Visiting His Par
ents There.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla.— Mullaney,
the prize leader of the Scouts, can
he found In his pool-room every nigh;
sending out letters to who are
anxious to perform witn tho local
team during the coming season.
He is now after a corking good
short slop, a player well known to
local tana, anil if he lands this player
he will have one of the steadiest and
headiest infields in the league. Mull
will be on first and the chances are
that Johnny Bierkotte, alias Kid
Berkle, will he seen on the keystone
cushion.
The man who bents Tim Dwyer out
of his position at third will have to
be a good one, and the prospects look
pretty bright for Timothy holding
down the difficult corner another sea
son.
Dwyer has returned to hiß home in
Providence and in a letter to the wri
ter ho says he Is already in splendid
shape and he is anxiously awaiting
the time when the Scouts will report
in this city for training purposes.
Mullaney says that he has practi
cally closed with the short stop that
he was after, but that until he had
secured the signature of the player
to the Scout contract he did not wish
the name of tho player to bo made
public. He will be a great help to
the team, being one of the brainiest
bail players that ever stepped on an
Infield. Johnny Dobbs, Chattanooga,
Is after tho player, but Mull hopes
to land him.
Connie Lewis is still In tho city
and says he may not play ball this
season. He has a position on the
owning paper, in the circulation de
partment. and he says he is so well
satisfied that he may not go back ty
the diamond. He has had numerous
offers, one from Macon, but he says
he has not yet signed and may not
do so. But it's a safe bet that Con-'
nle will be playing ball when tho
spring time comes around. He says
if he plays he expects to remain in
the Sally league.
Cad Coles, who piaved such bril
! liaut ball for Augusta last season, is
I now in the city visiting his parents
■in Riverside. He was drafted by one
of the major league teams but tho
chances are that he will put in an
other season in the South Atlantic
and then go to faster company.

Annie Oakley, George E. Maxwell
and Frank Butler, a trio of the
world’s finest shots, will give an ex
hibition of rifle, shotgun and revolver
marksmanship at the Georgia-Caro
llna fair grounds on Monday, Feb
ruary Ist., free of charge.
Annie Oakley Is perhaps the most
famous shot in the world. She travel
ed for a number of years with the
Buffalo Bill Wild West shows and was
a drawing card with that organiza
tion. She performs practically ev
ery possible feat or markstpanship
with the revolver, rifle and shotgun.
George W. Maxwell is a one-armed
expert. He ranks as one of the fore
most trap shooters of the world. Dur
ing the year 1908, he recorded an av
erage of 95.2 per cent out of 10,000
shots. He began trap shooting in
1903, and entered the professional
ranks in 1907. His( feats are all the
more marvelous because of the handi
cap imposed by the loss of his arm.
Frank E. Butler is also one of the

best-known living shots. He has es

countries of the world. His marks
manship at ciay pigeons is almost un
equalled.
Some of Miss Oakley’s performances
with the revolver are said to be
astounding. Small woden balls are
thrown into the air and broken with
case, the larger fragments being shat
tered again before they reach the
ground. All manner of small objects
are thrown up, and a miss for Annie
Oakley is exceedingly rare. Small .22
calibre cartridges, almost too small
to he seen while in the air, are hit
with unerring aim. One of her won
derful feats is to roll a tomato can
along the ground by repeatedly aim

edge.
Wide interest is manifest among
the local gun club members, and a
large crowd will see the exhibition.

Outlook is Better, Though
But One Manager Has
Been Signed As Yet.
JACKSON, Miss—Although it is a
difficult mater to stir up baseball en
thusiasm during overcoat and fur
muff weather, the six associations
composing the Cotton States league
seem to be making fairly good head
way with the work of getting their
financial affairs in shape for the ap
proaching season.
In Jackson, Gulfport, Biloxi, Colum
bus, Meridian, Monroe and Vicksburg
committees are actively engaged in
soliciting tree will contributions to be
used in wiping out exisitlng deficits
and there is every reason to believe
that in each of these towns sufficic
ent money will be raised to get the
teams for 1909 organized after paying
off encumbrances left over from last
season.
In this city it is necessary to raise
about $1,500, and the committee has
over S7OO pledged, with pome of the
principal devotees of the game yet to
come forward with their contribu
tions. ,
Monroe is the only town in .the
league that has signed the Vicksburg
veteran, having secured contrcfl of the
team, and this means that the Louisi
ana town is going(_to make a better
showing than last year, for Biack
burn has some good players on his
string, and there are few men in!
minor league company who know the,
game more thoroughly.
Jackson has not yet signed Carlos I
Smith, the ex-B'rmtnghaiTT outfielder. 1
but the chances are about 10 to 1
that he will lead t. e Lawmakers this
year, for he is anxious to take charge i
of the team if proper terms can be
arranged.
No information can be gathered
from Vicksburg, Gulfport, Monroe or
Columbus indicating the managerial
plans, but it is known that boards of
dtrectors at those places have ne
gotiations pending with several
players.

TOOTHSOME GUINEA
SEASONABLE DAINTY
JFowl More Popular Than
Ever Owing To the High
Prices of Turkeys.
WASHINGTON.—The little guinea
fowl is proving popular with the
Washington housekeeper this winter.
In fact, it usually does, but the high
turkey plices this season has made
it more popular than ever.
Of all the different kinds of fowls
shipped to the market, the guinea
alone ranks half way between game
and poultry. When game and poultry
have supplied the demand, the guinea
always comes in for a strenuous sea
son on the market along toward the
close of winter. The season is just
now gaining headway.
“Blindfolded, I could not tell the
difference between guinea meat and
that of prairie chicken.” said a prom
inent poultry dealer today. "The
meat is as well flavored and certain
ly has the taste es game.”
Just at present the wholesale quo
tation on guineas ranges between 12
and 14 cents. The supply this year
is said to be running short, and, con-
I sequently, the price is expected to ad
I vance rather than recede with the
progress of the season.

CHARLESTON, S. C.—President
Wilson Matthews of the Charleston
baseball club has been expected heie

shown up. Two to three letters hav*
been received here daily for Ma*
thews, and regularly forwarded by
former President J. Alwyn Ball te
Matthews. Mr. Ball is making ar
rangements to attend the league
meeting at Savannah, and it is likely
that Matthews will also show up at
the meeting. Mr. Ball will fight vig
orously any proposition to bar the
paying of a salary to a president of
a club, as this proposition would put
Matthews out of business as far as
Charleston is concerned.
