Pilots Walloped M’Rae
in Game Yesterday
Afternoon
H\l\ STOPPED EiRST GAME
In the Eighth Inning When Pilots
Were Piling up Runs, the Umpire
Called the Game. Mcßae Win
ning by Score of 7 to 2.
Mcßae, Ga., Aug. 20.-—The weather
cleared up just long enough this af
ternoon to permit the Brunswick Pi
lots to simply wallop the Mcßae ag
gregation. anil when the dust, had
cleared away after the ninth inning
the scorer announced the result to he
13 to 2 in favor of the Brunswick club.
The game was witnessed by a good
crowd considering the weather and
they saw their home team de
feated in great styie by the Brunswick
hoys.
The mighty Harry Moses, the Crack
a-jack pitcher, he who commenced the
season wth the Atlanta Southern Lea--
gue team, was in the box for the lo
cals and the Pilots kept the fielders
busy from beginning to end. The
great Moses was made to look like
thirty cents by the ameteurs from
Brunswick, while Walker, who was
in the box for Brunswick, made the
iMcßacj a.-.,?', ration look like mon
keys. He pitched a brilliant game,
and the home boys were never able
to solve his mysteries. He had speed
galore and his curves were “all wool
Md m. yard wid. and very near half
the men wl: > fac and him were struck
out.
The feature of the game was the
heavy hitting and all around good field
ing of the Brunswick team. There
were ■ i : ■ v■— - i.-.’i rooters
were badly needed by the home boys.
The boys are all having a good
time at this little burs, and are quite
jubilant over their victory this after
noon, inasmuch as they defeated a
team composed of Atlanta, Augusta
and Mcßae players.
In the morning game Grimes pitched
well, but the game was iost on ac
count of the rain.
The third game will be played this
afternoon and both nMos are sanguine
of winning. If the weather permits
it will be attended by- a large crowd,
as considerable interest, is manifected
in the deciding game.
The Morning Gams.
Mcßaff. Ga., Aug. 20.—in a heavy
downpour of rain tits morning Mcßae
defeated the Brunswick Pilots by a
score of 7 to 2.
In the eighth inning the Brunswick
team scored two runs and had two
more men on bases when the umpire
called the game on account of the
rain. There was only one man out and
the boys were hitting Davenport at
a rapid rate. The score was then
seven to four, and had the inning been
completed the Pilots would have no
doubt succeeded in getting two or
three more men across the home plate.
However it, was raining too hard to
finish the game and the game was car
ried back to the seventh inning when
tile score stood ! to 2.
Grimes pitched for the Pilots and
did 'very good work considering the
wet ball. Davenport was in the box
for Mcßae and held the Pilots down,
but they fell onto him in groat style
in the eighth and wore going around
the circle at a rapid rate when the
game was called by the umpire.
Drawing to a Close.
The season at. noth Cumberland and
St. Simon are gradually drawing to
a close. Both of these well known a:tu
popular resorts have enjoyed an unus
ually patronage till- year,and, .espec
ially has been the case with Cumber

proved for the next summer and it is
expected that the coming season wilt
break ail previous records.

IHEAR CASE TODAY;
DELEGATION OFF
Railroad Commissions to
Take up Advance in
k Tie Kates
INTEREST IN THE RESULT
A Number of Brunswick Crosstie Deal
ers and Others Left for Atlanta
Last Night to Attend the
Meeting
A large delegation of Brunswick
erosstie merchants , and representar
tives of the board of trade left last
night for Atlanta, where they go to be
present today at the hearing, before
the Georgia railroad commission of
the mooted question of crosstie rates,
which are to he advanced by t he rail
roads on September first, if no agree
ment is reached
Those who left last night were: F.
D Aiken, president of the Brunswick
board of trade, W. B. Cook, of James
K. Brodhead & Oo.„ Mike Brown, of
Brown & Cos., N. Emanuel, of N. Eman
uel & Cos. and L. T McKinnon.
Crosstie merchants from other sec
tions will also probably be present.
The lumbermen will be represented
by W. M. Toomer, Boon A. Yvllson,
and .T. H. Crawley, o? Waycross.
The result of the hearing today will
he watched with genera! interest by
the people all over the state Identified
with the crosstie industry. This case
is familiar to The News readers and
it is not necessary to go over it again
.t the time. The railroads simply
want to advance the rate on cross
ties to that charged on lumber, and
the tie merchants strongly protest,
claiming that it is impossible for them
to pay the advanced rate. Efforts
have boen made to amicably settle the
matter between the crosstie people
and the railroads, but no agreement
could be reached.

CHANGED ITS NAME ~
TO GLYNN ACADEMY
Mansfield Street School Building
to go Under the Name
Hereafter.
Beginning with the next, scholastic
year, the name of the city school on
Manfield, formerly known as the Nel
son grammar school and more i*ecent
ly known as the Mansfield stree*
school will be known as the Glynn
academy,
In this connection it may he of in
terest to t.he people of this city years
and years ago every county in the
state had an academy, or it had that
name given to one of the principal
seats of learning in the county.
Later, however, the name began to
become extinct, and at this time, in
addition to the Glynn academy, there
are but two schools in iiie entire stato
aiihering to the old academy name,
i 1.0 Chatham academy at Savannah
nil the Richmond academy at Au
gusta.
It. is thought, that there is a general
disposition on the part of the eduea
*’or'3 of the state to return to the old
custom of calling one of the schools
in each county an academy.
Hotel Is Still Open
Manager Jacobi, of the hotel Cum
berland, requests the News to state
that the hotel on Cumberland is still

CHALLENGER’S STERN
SHOWN TO SHAMROCK

Every Stretch
New York, Aug. 20.—Probably the
largest aggregaton of the lovers of
the yachti'ng sport from all sections
of this and other countries that ever
attended at international contest was
the one which gathered off Sandy
Hook this morning to witness the
great battle on the waves between the
matchless Shamrock 111. and the Re
liance, the defender of the cup, which,
for fifty years has pronounced Amer
ica the mistress of the seas, despite
the many repeatd efforts on the part
of Britania, who, in many other re
spects, holds this title.
The day dawned cloudy, a misty
veil overhung the great stretches oil
Sayidy Hoot., and the; breeze that
looked to be promising fluttered gent
ly above the topmast of tiie two great
grey hounds that reclined in beauti
ful ease just inside of Sandy Hook.
As early as sunrise countless craft
of every phase and condition began
to move rapidly about the harbor.
The government squadroii of revenue
cutters, who were to police the course
were on hand in good condition, and
even as.early as 7 o’clock were com
pelled to go into actual patrol duty
in order to keep the course clear and
to give the two yachts ample spare
for preparation.
it is thought that from 1000 to 1200
boats of all characters were chartered
for the purpose of giving visitors an
opportunity to witness the great
sprinters contest between the repre
sensative of the grandest powers oc
the face of the earth, and for fully
two hours these craft, with countless
other smaller ones, and other innum
erable floating houses and tugs await
ed the signal for the contesting yachts
to cross the line.
On board of Sir Thomas Liptons
haradsome Erin was a distinguished
party of visitors, including the earl
and countess of Shaftesbury, and the
Sunbfcam, tihe tender of. the Reli
ance, was also the scene of many
prominent personages of this country,
whose sympathies were with the de
fender. it was a scene of animation
off Sandy Hook that wiil not soon be
forgotten. Myraid colors of the red,
white and blue interspersed with John
Bull's dazzling flag showed above
many decks of staunch little craft.
On board these various vessels the
two colors again mingled and oeca
FIREMEN MEET.
Holding Interesting Convention in
Danville.
Danville, Va., Aug. 20. —The streets
of Danville are gala with flags and
bunting today in honor of the meuir
bers of the Virginia btate Firemens
association, whose 17th annual conven
tion and tournament is in progress.
The forenoon was devoted to the re
ception of the visitors who arrived in
large numbers from every quarter of
the stale,
This afternoon the first session was
held, at which greetings were deliver
ed by Mayor Harry Wooding and Chief
Retd of tue Danville fire department.
The discussion of topics relating io
methods of tire prevention and lito
fighting commenced tins evening and
will continue at subsequent sessions
of the convention.
The spectacular features of the
tournament program began with a pa
rade this morning. Other interesting
features included horse races and hook
and ladder drills. This will be the
most successful convention ever held
under the auspices of the association
sicmally a genuine shamrock in its
chosen green, was seen to flutter from
the vast Concourse of coJbrs that
marked the scene.
At 1106,10 the handsome prow of
the Shamrock dashed across the start
ing line under full sail, ar.d six sec
onds later was followed by the Reli
ance in a like condition.
As the two boats passed the begin
ning point they truly looked like great,
ocean fighters, their tall masts, like
spires pointing heavenward, bedecked
in all the frills and furbelows of
ocean races, were perfect symbols of
symmetry, and that they wore both
greeted with rounds of applause as
they dashed into the course.
The race, from beginning to end.
was one that displayed great and
almost wonderful a t on the part of
tuose in command. Both yach,s were
handled splendidly anil as the wind
graduated from a dead bocaim to a
great roughness, the respective cap
tains loaned t heir best efforts to the
and that their yachts may make the
best time as tlioy were adapted to
weather cotaditions.
It was clearly a Reliance day. The
Shamrock lost her lead very soon aftei
getting into the dash, and not for a
single instance did she ever pass el
even draw near the stern of the Re
iiance.
When on the return course the
breeze simply died out anil from then
on it was apparent to ail that ii
would he a drifting race with poor
chance of finishing in the time limit
A half hour’s more drifting, with
an occasional puff of wind, wiiii a con
sequent push ahead on the part of
both boats and finally the race was
called off, it having been more than
apparent that any finish anywhere
near the time limit was out of the
question.
While this result, of course, oeca
sions regret hero, it does not in the
least lessen the enthusiasm on tlm
part of the believers in the respec
tive boats. Sir T/jpmas Lipum and
Mr. Islin were b.rth seen after the
races anil in true sporting fashion ac
cepted the result gracefully, and bo’.u
of them- lejtpTtossed the belief that
their yachts would win in Saturday's
contest.
On the whole it may lie truly said
that the result of today's race lias nut
Increased or dimished the betting
CROWDS WATCHED BULLETINS
Everybody Here Was Interested in the
* Great Race.
During the entire time the yachts
.were racing yesterday bulletins were
received at the Arcade and hundrds
crowded around to hear the latest of
news from the great ilyers.
From the start the reports indica
ted that the the Reliance would v.iu
and consequently there was few H

PRICE Of CONVICIS GO UP
Thirteen Counties Have Asked the
Prison Commission for Short-
Term Men t o Work on
the Public Roads.
Atlanta Aug 20.— I Thirteen emmt
ie-s have already filed their applica
tion:-. with the prison commission for
liu-ir quota of convicts as allowed un
der the recent act of the legislature
lor work on tho public roads.
These thirteen comities will be en
-1 died io about 377 convicts, (he appor
tionment being made on (he basis of
population which gives the county ap
plying one convict for each 1,1(10 in
habitants.
Tho commission has not as yet de
cided whether it will allow an extra
convict lor less than 1,100 population;
wlier-l |Uie remainder; after taking
ihe division, is greater Ilian half of
LlOo. Should ii decide to do so, then
some of the counties would be en
titled to one more convict Ilian is
given in the published list.
hollowing is a list of the counties
which have filed their applications for
oanvicts and the number of convicts
to which they will be entitled:
'Troup 21, Fulton 100. Bibb 45, Cof
feeir., Jefferson Hi, Thomas 28, Coweta
22, Clark lfi. Monroe 18, Ware 12,
Johnson 12, Rich mend Iff, l.ec a.
This is mkire than- half Ihe number
of convicts which can bo apportioned
to the counties under the new law.
The convicts so apportioned must be
for five year terms or under and of
this class there are. but 76b in the
state penitentiary.
Some of the counties mentioned may
gel one more convict than the number
stated, as already explained. Take
Bildi county for instance which has a
population of 50,473 according to the
Census report Dividing that number
by 1,100 gives 15 ami a. remainder of
J 7.1. 11 may be that the prison com
mi: sion may allow another convict in
cases like this where the remainder is
50 near in amount to the basis of divi
sion. . j .
I s expected that Many other coun
ties in the state will apply- for con
victs and the belief is that nearly ali.
If not quite all, of the available num
ber will bo taken for road work.
L'hut ham county has noi been heard
from yet. That county is expected to
tuheconvicts and is entitled to sixty
two Muscogee and several other of
(ho larger counties have not as yet
been hoard from.
'I tic result of the detnaind for con
victs by the counties for work on the
public roads will be an active compe
tition among the lessees for the re
maining men. II will require some
thing like 2,bbb men to supply the de
mand from those who use convict la
bor. It, is said that the lessees can
afford to pay s2u a month or S24U a
year before it, would conic cheaper
lor them to us - free labor.
The convicts will bo apportioned to
the counties in the order in which
they apply for them and ail of these
applications, must be in band before
December t.
It. is more t ban likely Dial they wilt
