FRIDAY, JUNE 18. BOTH TEAMS HIT THE BALL; CASTRO LOST BY ONE RUN Griffin Couldn’t Check the Ferocious Clouting of • Dobbs’ Men, While Tourists Hammered Mc- Kenzie and Gaskill. CHATTANOOGA.—The Lookouts won the opening game of the current series from the Augusta Tourists by the bloated score of 10 to 9. Both teams hammered the ball, Castro’s premier pitcher, Griffin, being touch ed for a total of 13 safeties, while Dobbs was forced to use his two best mound men, McKenzie and Gaskill yielding a total of 15 swats. The locals scored two runs in the first inning On Castro’s wild heave of Meek’s grounder. Subsequently they rang the bell by clean hitting. Grif fin apparently had everything in his aaeortment at easy command, but the Lookouts simply had their eye on the ball, and the big Augusta right-hander couldn’t stop them. The Tourists led off with a run m the first inning. Bierkotte singled, went to second on Hohnhorst 4 sacri fice, and scored on Henn’s single. In the second they got two more. McMahon singled and advanced on Carson’s sacrifice. He took third on a wild pitch and scored on Castro’s grounder to short. Castro barely beat out the play, and when Wilkes fum bled Griffin’s grounder he took third. McLauren went out to Dobbs on a sac rifice fly, and Castro scored. At this juncture Gaskill relieved McKenzie. Henn fanned and Coles doubled to light, scoring Griffin. In Jhe third inning the visitors an nexed another two runs, but could do no more until the ninth, when a batting rally hammered in four more. With only one run needed to tie the score and none out, Carson, Castro and Griffin retired in quick succes sion. The box score follows: Augusta AB. R. H. PO. A. E.

SUMMER SEASON CLOSES AT THE GRAND Vaudeville After Satur day Night Will He Trans ferred to the Lake Casino After running for about ten weeks the vaudeville season at the Grand will close after Saturday night’s per formance and hereafter the energies of the management will be devoted en tirely to the season at the Casino. Manager Bernstein has been pretty busy this summer with the Grand, the Casino, the Wistaria, to say nothing of the preparation entailed by the next year’s campaign of the Grand, for the regular season promises to be one of the best and heaviest of the recent past. So it has been decided to take off vaudeville at the Grand and transfer it to the Casino, except when musical comedies hold the boards there. The Grand and the Casino work against each other in the summer and it has been deemed best to push the Casino season and give the Grand a rest. Harris, R. H. Johnston, W. S. Jones, G. L. Kelley, C.

A RARE BALL GAME IN NORTH AUGUSTA Married Men Will Play Baracca Class of Baptist Church. The married men of the North Au gusta Baptist church and the boys of the Baracca class will cross bats on a baseball diamond near the “old switch” Friday afternoon at 5.30 o’clock. The game will be particularly in teresting and amusing on -account of the wide range of talent signed to represent, the “Married Men.” Mr. M. Robinson is to pitch for the mar ried men. He is in fine form, and Mr. Henry Frey, who is to catch, will no doubt have a hard time hold ing Ills famous "Fade Away” ball. The Rev. E. M. Lightfoot will hold down first lia.se and feels confident (hat he will play ail errorless game. Mr. Janies R. League is one of the fastest second basemen In the busi ness and will put the lid on the stunt of stealing second very early in the game. Mr. W. C.

Robinson, pitch; Rev. E. M. Lightfoot, first base; Mr. Jas. R. League, second; Mr. Rice, third; Mr. T. L. Vaughan, short; Mr. J P. Bates, left field; Dr. Mealing, center field; Mr. W.

BANKER KILLED IN AUTO ACCIDENT BOSTON. —Joseph Breed, a wealthy lumber merchant and banker, was killed, his wife seriously injured and two others were slightly injured In an automobile accident at noon Fri day. r,: c Ithen POST OFFICE TO BE REPAIREO AGAIN Capt. J. H. Devereaux, of Charles ton, superintendent of federal build ing repairs, is in Augusta, for the pur pose of recommending certain changes and Improvements in tile lo cal post office. He is stopping here several days. For a long time the city delivery department of the post office hast needed more room. The smallness of the building cramps that division of the service. As il will he at least three years at the. very closest calm lation, before Augusta gets a new post office, even though congress makes the appropriation at its next session and the work proceeds without in terruption, Postmaster Vaughn made application to the Washington au thorities for certain inexpensive im provements to afford more room, in the meantime, and his -•''quest was granted. Two plans are under advisement. One is to add a room to the building, one-story in height, and the other is to set the lock box partition out. sev eral feet, utilizing some of the lobby to make more room for the clerks in the city delivery division. Capt. Devereaux is no) certain as yet wh inil one of these plans he will decide is the better. He may hit upon a combination of the two. Recently the postmaster has re ceived numerous complaints from lock box patrons because their boxes refuse to slide without friction. Capt. DevereauX’s attention has been call ed to this matter, and he will give it his attention. He calls attention to the oportunlty for some skilled local cabinet maker to get the work. ANOTHER STORM THURSDAY AFTERNOON Severe Electric Disturb ance and Rain, Accom panied By Wind. For the second day in succession, Augusta was visited Thursday after noon by a severe wind, rain and elec tric storm, it was even more spec tacular and fearful than the disturb ance? of Wednesday evening. About. 5 o’clock a heavy black cloud rolled up from the southwest. Just over the city it merged with another squall coming from the south, and the combined energy of both storms burst like a hurricane. For nearly half an hour the light ning flashes followed each other 111 rapid succession. The disturbance was of extreme force, and the thun der was deafening. Many telephone's were put out of commission ami other wires in the city suffered consider ably. The wind attained a velocity of 24 miles per hour about 5:30 o’clock, mul kept up that pace for about 15 minutes. The rainfall was 1,07 of an inch. At. Adam station, on the? Augusta Southern railroad, a small passenger waiting room w s toppled over by the wind. It is reported that a corner of the residence of Mr. Ben iGreene, at Hephzlbah, was struck by light ning, the damage being slight,. TRADES MELONS FOR SWEET CORN Ronmania Sends Strange Delicacy Here and Gets All American One in Re turn. America’s sweet corn has been trad ed for Rournania’s little watermelon. Horace G. Knowles, formerly Amer ican minister to Roumanla, who is soon to start for ills now post as minister to Nicaragua, consummated the transaction In the interest of good living, says the New York Her ald. The Roumanian watermelon has a thin skin, and the meat, which Is less fibrous than that of American melons, is both yellow and red In color. The flavor Is delicate and delicious, but above all, its chief characteristic Is Its size—about that of a grapefruit. When Mr, Knowles found this melon growing in the Carpathian foothills he realized that it would be just, the thing to serve individually In Amer ica. Instead of hotels serving huge slices of watermelon it would be possible to serve a whole uncut watermelon, equal in flavor to the largest, Georgia "mill, yun," but which an ordinary person would be able to cut and eat. with ease. He obtained a quantity of the seeds and transmitted there through Now is the Time to Save Money on Summer Clothing Every season just at this time we make preparations for inventory, and the prices go lower accordingly.

BARRETT IDE DIRECTOR Milledfceville Road Out of Augusta To Be Used By Capital Highway Asso ciation. The directorship for Georgia for the Capital Highway Association was offered to Mr. Thomas Barrett Thurs day by Mr. Frank Weldon, represent ing President Tufts, of the associa tion, and the executive committee. Mr. Barrett, who is deeply interested in good roads, accepted the position. Mr. Barrett expressed to Mr. Weldon his desire to co-operate with the as sociation in every way, and that he would do everything in his power to further the Interests of the proposed boulevard. Mr. Weldon had a conference Thursday afternoon with Judge Win. F. Eve and Secretary E. S. Johnson, of tlie Chamber of Commerce. They decided to use the Miiledgeville road out of Augusta, as Richmond coun ty's link In the road from Atlanta to Washington. The gentlemen were very enthusiastic over the out look for the road. Judge Eve told Mr. Weldon of his desire to aid the pro moters of the road In every way, and expressed pleasure that such a fine body of representative men, as the officers and directors of the associa tion were behind the movement, as they were bound to make it a suc cess. Mr. Weldon told Judge Eve and Mr. Johnson of the proposed route and the exact plans of the as sociation, and the work that had to be done. Mr. Weldon will be back in the city in a very few days. CAPT. E. G. MILLER GOES TO SEA AGAIN Capt, E. G. Miller, a citizen of Richmond county, who follows the sea as a profession, passed through Augusta Wednesday on his way to Philadelphia, where he will enter the service of Haldt & Cumins, ship own ers, taking command of a four-masted schooner, chartered for Savannah, lumber-laden. For several months Capt. Miller luis remained at home. On Ills last voyage, from Porto Rico to Mobile he lost a vessel in the Gulf of Mex ico, about 90 miles off Fornandina light. The schooner sprang aleak and made so much water that, the pumps could not keep her afloat. Capt. Miller is a splendid naviga tor, and a tine gentleman. He has a host of friends throughout the coun ty who will wish him a successful voy age and a safe return. PROGRAM FOR SACRED HEART COLLEGE OUT The program for the annual com mencement of the Senior class of the Sacred Heart college has booi printed. The exercises? will be held at the Grand Opera homte on Monday night, June 21st, at 8:15 o’clock.

Reserved seats for the performance will be on s o at, the Savoy Satur day morning at 9 o’clock. the state department to the depart ment. of agriculture. The little water melons have been cultivated wtlh suc coe* at the government experiment stations In those regions where huge American melons ure grown —Georgia, Alabama and, in fact, all over the South. The Waldorf-Astoria hotel, in New York, and the Bellevue-Stratford, In Philadelphia, it is said, have agreed to take all that can be grown In the United States during the next year and will feature them on their menus. Having gained this desirable deli cacy from Roumanla, Mr. Knowles was anxious to repay the gift. He noticed that corn was the chief ar ticle of agriculture In Roumanla, but that the people were utter strangers to sweet corn. Accordingly he ob tained seeds for this product from the department of agriculture, hired several plots of ground himself and Instructed the Roumanians in Its cul tore. The result was that the court had American corn all last year, en joyed It hugely, and the king called Mr. Knowles to a private audience and warmly thanked him for making It posslbh- for the Roumanian people to gain this delicacy. The transac lion, due to Mr. Knowles’ Interest In agriculture, lias done much to draw Ihe two governments more closely to gether.
