ARLIE LATHAM WAS A
PRINCE OF BALL PLAYERS
Clown, Dude, Merrymaker
and Versed in All the
Arts and Tricks of the
Game, He Was a Figure
in Baseball History.
Wit, bon vjvant. optiml t, visionary.
Who? Walter Arlington Latham.
Wit—Mas given vole*' to more im
promptu sallies, sparkling with hu
mor, than any professional player In
baseball's history.
Bon vlvant —Knows the value of
terrapin and partakes ot It dlscrlmi
natinsly Also knows the value of
apple pie and partakes of It liberally.
Optimist—Never saw a cloud over
the sun In his life.
Visionary -Since 1858 has been
cheerfully tramping along life's high
way, expecting dally to catch up with
the hag of silver spoons at the end
of the rainbow.
Born In New Hampshire under the I
shadow ot the Green Mountains, Pu j
ritan by family, a Louisiana Creole
by temperament.
In his time he has played mans
parts, but the harlequin best of all
"I was horn with a smile and I will
die with one," said the Jester of the
dlamond one day In a moment of se

In his youth Latham could run 100
yards In lo seconds. When lie play
ed ha set I all In the major leagues he
was almost that fleet. He has been
known to make a running jump of HI
feet, 2 Inches. He could play roller
polo like a Head. He Is a typical
New England athlete—one of those
young fellows, and there are plenty
of them In Connecticut, Rhode Island
Massachusetts, Vermont and New
Hampshire —who can do almost any
thing on track or Held, and do It well,
even though they are not champions.
His First Game
The first professional baseball play
ed by Latlmm was ai Pittsfield, Mass,
in 1877. He played there the next
season. The Pitt afield chib could beat
almost anything In that part of th
known world. New England clubs
came to Pittsfield, invested with such
shin plasters as could lie spared from
tmmedfkte circulation, and walked
home after they hud finished the
games.

flirted with the girls and caught with
rare gallantry In those days. It woe

BASEBALL FROUG
BEGINS HERE
APRIL 19
Just a week from tomorrow and
the grand baseball frolic begins in
Augusta. The Tourists are scheduled
to trudge home next Saturday night
from Chattanooga, after three hard
fought battles with the Lookouts, and
with a full day’s rest to their credit
the fun starts on home grounds,
against the Jim Fox team from Co
lumbus.
The opening of baseball wiil be
marked by a grand blare of trumpets,
a street parade, partial suspension
of business activity, and a concerted
movement of the populace toward
Warren Park. The usual preliminaries
will be served up in letter-perfect
style, not to speak of numerous po
lite additions to the opening program,
and the game itself will smack of a
savor more than ordinary.
The parade wiil form al the Monu
ment, and move in stately proces
sion up the south side of Broadway
to McKinne street. Halting there,
the line-up turns, according to Secre
tary Farr’s Itinerary; and hikes
straight hack down the main thor
oughfare to Lincoln street, where
they get the order "Column right.”
A large band wagon will head the
march, loaded to the decks with mon
of music and baseball players In uni
form. Following close in the wake of
this omnibus come the various and
sundry turn-outs of gleeful fandom.
If Hannifan pitches the last game
in Chattanooga, Barrett will probably
share opening honors with Qriffin.
Fox hasn't sent word about his bat
ter.
The season will be opened on
Thursday, April 15, as follows:
Augusta at Chattanooga.
Macon at Columbus.
Charleston at Columbia.
Savannah at Jacksonville.
On Monday the four teams playing
abroad for the first three days will
return home to fire the big guns in
the preseee of friendly fanatics, the
Castro aggregation being among that
number.
The raising of a pennant over the
Jacksonville will start the season
at Jaytown in a blaze of glory, and
loud noises for that day.

That Pythianism is flourishing in
Augusta is evidenced by the fact that
the four lodges are continually receiv
ing applications for membership, not
alone by initiation but by reinstate
ment, which is very gratifying to the
officers of the various lodges.
During the past week applications
were read in eacij lodge and this
means work for the succeeding week.
Besides the additions to the subor
dinate lodges, Augusta Division No.
C of the Uniform Rank is taking an
new life and it is confidently predat
ed that in the course of another year
No. 6 will be second to none of the
companies of the state.
At their meeting last Wednesday
evening the following officers were
elected: Sir Knight Captain, A, J.
Renkl; Sir Knight First Lieutenant,
•I F. Henderson; Sir Knight Second
Lieutenant, P. P. Brinson; Sir Knight
Recorder, W. L. Burnside; Sir Knight
Treasurer, Aaron Silver.
Sir Knight Major S. B. Vaughn, in
his usual impressive manner, installed
the officers elect and in a few well
chosen remarks congratulated the
company and the officers. About ten
applications were read and acted up
on. It was decided that the company
would not enter the drill at Columbus
this year but it was agreed that at
the convention in 1910, wherever held,
they would either win the prize or
make the winner hustle for the honor.
Monday night Fountain City will
work in the page and possibly the es
quire ranks.
Tuesday night Augusta lodge will
confer the page rank.
Wednesday afternoon the Pythian
Sisters hold their regular meeting.
Wednesday night Company No. 6
hold their weekly drill.
Thursday night Woodlawn lodge
will confer the esquire and possibly
the knight rank.
Friday night Vigilant lodge will
create several valiant knights, thus
closing the week’s work.

Easter Parade Promises
Pleasing Display of Fashions
It is an old, old superstition that
the sun actually dances on Easter
morning; but even if the light-giving
ruler of the heavens were not habi
tually addicted to such antics there
would he a temptation on its part vjo
indulge in some kind of ecstacy of
movement when it gazed down upon
the Easter parade of Augusta.
Never before in the whole history
of our city has there bgen such a dis
j play of beautiful garments as those
prepared for today’s wearing. Dur-
I ing countless days, there have been
j hundreds of people busy wth the
: preparations for the adorning of Au-
I gusta’s lovely women who will go to
I church and appear on our streets this
; perfect morning of April the eleventh,,
in the year of Our Lord, 1909.
Many are the looms that have
j woven the fine cloths chat cover the
' graceful bodies, and still more nu-
I merous are the skilled fingers that
I have fashioned the clothes and eio-
I broidered them and made them things

Thursday.
Early Monday morning, while the
dew is damp on housetops, Louis Cas
tro's Tourists get under way. The
journey takes them into the camps
of three mighty tribes, to wit: Billy
Smith’s Crackers of Atlanta; the Bir
mingham Barons, of Slagtown, and
Dobbs’ Lookout henchmen, of Chat
tanooga. Which last aggregation
may be doped as the most dangerous
considering they take on the Tourists
for three jousts that mean more than
exhibition for hungry pre-season fans.
Count Louis is already scouting
along the line of march, having shak
en Augusta dust last night in time
to catch the Georgia train for Atlanta,
He went ahead -to arrange all the
"preliminary details’’ for Monday’s
matinee with Bill Sipith’s hired men.
The Tourists play twice in Atlanta.,
that is, Monday and Tuesday. Griffin
and Pierce will work the first day;
Barrett the last. The team leaves
here in good shape. Barring a blow
up, or a landslide of hits by the
Crackers, they ought to get away with
at least half the spoils.
On Wednesday the Castro layout
lays siege to the Baron stronghold,
in high-walled Birmingham. That
will not be child’s play, if the Tour
ists ever get inside and start a slaugh
ter. Slagtown is primed and cocked
for the first sign of an approaching
cavalcade, and the fans in that re
doubtable bailiwick will be furnished
something to see worth paying ante
season money for. Pitcher Hannifan,
whose work up to date has been of
a high order, will work in the Bir
mingham game.

Johnnie Dobbs has corraled one of
the fastest teams in the South Atlan
tic league. Throughout the long,
strenuous season Castro and his scrap
pers will not encounter a more dan
gerous foe, if Easter auguries mav be
relied upon.
There’ll be a three-game series jp
Chattanooga. Griffen is scheduled to
work the first day. Opposing him
will be McKenzie, the old Columbia
flinger, in all probability. On Friday
Castro will 3end Pierce to the firing
line, and Saturday it’s the turn of
either Hannifan or Barrett. The
pitching staff is in good condition,

Castro will not he seen again until
the season opens here, on Monday*,

“We fully expect to get away with
two out of three games in Chatta
nooga, he said. “Every man on the
team is in fine shape. The infield is
working like a machine. Herbert
Smith will, in my opinion prove the
peer of any fielding cutiielder in the
league, and he expects to boost his
batting average. Coles and McLaur
en will both hit better this season
than ever before, and jMerman shows
fine promise of picking up as a hit

Mahon can be depended on to pound
