En tries were numerous and many of the events were finished amid great, ex citement, the victors winning by a close margin.

MACON, Oa. —A very remarkable baseball game was played here Mon day afternoon between Macon and Mercer University. The game lasted but 54 minutes and might have been speedier had any effort been made to hurry It up. Another feature was thp superb pitching of Sam Weems. In the nine innings but 2f> Mercer batsmen faced him, according to the box score, as the 27th man was hit by a pitched ball and was later caught oft first base. Besides all this Mercer was shut out and neither side committed an error. The play was faultless at all times and the game was clean as a whistle. The only Mercerian to reach first base was Mall Fry, in the seventh inning. Macon found Davidson for five hits but "as unable to make more than one run. This run would not have been scored If Catcher Roach had been on to his Job. as Rod.v slid be neath Ronch's outstretched hands and touched the plate safely. Fourteen batters were struck out by Weems.

WEIGH YOURSELF BEFORE USING Weigh yourself before commencing to use Samose, the great flesh-form ing food. The wonderful sale on this preparation since first introduced in Augusta and the remarkable re sults following its use have made Green and Horsey such enthusiastic believers in the great value ot'fSa mose that they give their personal guarantee to refund the money if Sa mose will not make thin people fat and restore strength and health to those who use It. This is a strong guarantee, hut Green and Horsey have seen so many of their customers who a few weeks ago looked like walking skeletons be come plump and well, solely through the use of Samose that they feel they cannot say too much to induce peo ple to try it. This marvelous flesh-forming food is assimilated as soon as it is taken into the stomach, makes good rich blood, tones up the weakened system, helps to assimilate the food an makes the user plump, well and rosy.
