'Twelve Inches Make a Foot"


 "Talkin' about feet" remarked the bak- ing powder drummer in a retrospective way as he leaned back against the wall,
 an old sehool chum of mine name O Jim Carter had the most enormous feet I ever saw. We used to court sisters and Jim did the most of his sparkling out on the front porch with his feet propped up on the ban isters. He got mad and quit when the old man asked him to please keep his feet on the floor, as it made the front yard so shady the flowers were all dying There wasn't size shoe made that he could wear. The shoe box was too low in the instep, and nothin' but a baby coffin ever seemed to fit him at all comfortably He could dam branch with one foot and one of his tracks looked like a place where a mule had widowed. Speakin' O mules, old man Gasser had mule that just wouldn't work nowhere but in harness. No Twin human being had ever been known to ride him until one day us boys wanted to go to barbecue over at Ticktown, where there was lot of pretty girls Every buggy and horse in the village was engaged days be- forehand, and not another could be had for love nor money Jim came home from a small trip off on the morning of the barbe- cue and was just wild to go but there was no rolling stock except Old Gasser's rnule Finally, in sheer desperation, Jim proposed that eight or of us would hold sOld | Beck" the mule, until he could get on her | and we readily consented as we expected | some fun. Jim climbed on with much hnx- l iety, and tho boys sprang away and awaited | the circus. Old Beck slightly bumped her | back but before throwing him about 15 | feet high she turned her head a little to l one side, looked back at Jim and then | walked off as quiet as lamb-she thought | Carters feet were a pair shafts. He got | very mad once at a Birmingham bootblack when the sinner proposed to charge him Si | for enough lumber to build scaffoldng | around his shoes so that they could be shined. Oh, I tell you Jim Carter had Jim | Dandy feet from away back, and don't you | forget 1t. e-s7zs=-} sas tN "He was in bathing once at Pensacola bay | and they fired on him twice from Fort | Pickens and beat the long roll before. they found out 1t wasn't d couple os torpedo | boats coming up to attack em, but only a | pair of feet. Gentlemen, I've been raised l by pious mother and I wouldn't tell you a lie to save your life, but Carter actually | lost dinner bucket and a Latin dictionary | In one of his shoes at school, and the teacher | licked half the boys in school for stealth em before they were found"

Results of Yesterdays Games.
Standing.

Well, the problem has about been solved. Three straight losses to Atlanta are real ly more than expected, but the inevitable had to come.
 Mcdonald was in the box, though Adams was slated to do the twirling, and the Atlantas got eight hits off the Qttle pitcher and won the game before F'ricken was called in from the outfield to relieve him.
 It was hoped that Adams would do the pitching act and with his speed ana de- ceptiVe curves puzzle the Crackers as to give the Blueblrds a chance to get the last of the series, Manager Fuller per haps knows what is best and put Tn MIC Donald and lost the game
 It was on the slate for Katz to figure in the left garden but judging from the ap- sence of his name in the box score, It IS presumed that he had mot gotten over the jag with which he was credited on Tues day night. The local fans and rooters can forgive a heap of things, but it is safe to say that they will not soon forget Joe Katz's action in the Gate City.
 The following tells the tale:
 Atlanta Ga, June 1.-The Atlantas took the third game of the series from the Birmnghams without trouble this afternoon Sechrist and Mcdonald were the pitchers and both were given good support. Birmingham made five hits off Sechrst, while the Atlantas got eleven off Mcdonald. Birmingham received al- most perfect support. Following IS the
