Chief Mcguire Invited to the Inter
national Fire Chiefs Convention.
Fire Chief Mcguire has received an invi-
tation from Mayor Fred B. Farnsworth OF

mittee on invitations to attend the TWEEN
ty-fifth annual convention of the Interna.
tional Association of Fire Engineers.
which will be held in New Haven Aug. II,
4S 10 and 20. He will probably make a
request upon the commission for permits,
sion TO attend the convention. The re-
quest will doubtless be granted, it hav
ing become a settled policy apparently to
allow the city officials to attend the an
nual conventions Chief Mcguire has
never attended one of these conventions.
THESE conventions bring together the
most Intelligent and successful flremen OF
this and other countries, whose aim Is
the best interests Of the municipa titles
they represent and by exchange of
thought, ideas and experience upon topics
and questions Of Importance they mate,
rally aid and educate one another The
various manufacturers prepare exhibitions
Of the latest appliances and inventions
for the betterment of the fire service and
the protection of life and property, and
from the first to the last day of the con>
vention the visitors are acquiring new
and valuable information. The topics
and papers form a small part of the sub,
Jects that will be discussed. Each topic,
while under discussion, will bring up
questions and answers that would not
otherwise be asked or discussed, and In
this way much valuable information will
be had
The programme of the convention con-
talns the following topics for discussion:
How should perforated pipes or sprink-
ling system be constructed for the protec-
ton Of places containing oil or other in
1ammable material.
The best, safest and quickest plan for
fighting fires in high buildings
Should not tool wagons, for carrying
extra appliances be adopted, instead of
loading same on hose wagons and en-
gines?
Should cities with a population of TO-
600 and over, organize and maintain an
efficient electrical bureau to supervise new
and old installations Of electric wires, mo-
tors and generators?
The feasibility of taking into oonsid-
GRAFTON the organization of a fireman's
benefit association on the assessment
plan
Self-propelling engines-Can they be used
successfully and are they practical? Have
they advantages over those drawn by
horses?
What system of government is most pro-
ductive of good discipline and efficiency In
fire departments.
What constitutes a well equipped and eff
ficient fireman?
Would a national flremens' exhibition
and tournament, held in some central To-
cation, be beneficial to the fire service Of
the country? -

BESIDES attending to his duties as a

The feature which Mayor Meldrlm SEEM

which concluded the series of three games
between the University of Georgia and the
University OF Virginia, and resulted In

Mayor Meldrm Is not a base ball fan.
but he gave a vivid description OF the
game. The fact that four men of the
Georgia team were playing In defiance of
the order of the faculty which had de-
creed that they should not do so on ac-
count OF certain failures In their studies
gave an added interest TO the game. These
four students held OFF until the crushing
defeat OF the Georgia team by the Virgin
ians Thursday on a score Of IS to l. Then
they could stand IL no longer and decided
to play even at the risk OF being barred
from the university next year
The game was most intensely Interest,"

the second. Then our boys started to work
and crawled up one run at an inning until
they had equaled the score OF the Virgin

score stood 60 3. In the first half OF the
tenth round tho Georgiang made one run
giving them 4 TO Nirginla'ss Then tho Vir-
glnlans came to the bat. Two men were
put out, but the next man got 20 third
base. The man az the bat had two strlkes
and three balls. Tho interest was so great
that the crowd almost held lis breath. The
batter struck a hot fly which was caught

SAVANNAH GOING UP TO WIN.
Augusta Will Have a Lively Lot OF
Visitors Tomorrow


Visitors Tomorrow,
The Catholic Library Association base
ball team will leave over the Central this
morning for Augusta. where II will play
the team of that city tomorrow after
noon. The Savannah team will be a
strong one, and ths Augusta boys can
look for a hard fight.
The team will play as follows;
Krenson, pitch
Charlton, catch.
Brown, first base.
Brady, E., second base.
OConnor, third obase.
Hopkins, B., short stop.
Schley left field.
Founder, center field.
Hopkins, H, right field.
O'Byrne and Ennis will go along to be
ready in case of an accident to one of
the team Manager John w. Gleason will
be in charge and Peyton Gin" Stokes will
be property man.
The excursion train will leave at $40
o'clock, railroad time, and a large crowd
Of rooters is expected to go up. The c.
L. A. RIOTERS Club will have tin horns
and maroon and white colors galore, and
intends to make it's presence known at the
game. A number of ladies' are expected
to make the trip.
There is a probability of the double UNI
pire system being inaugurated at the
game. There has been 50 much trouble
in past games between Savannah and Au-
gusta that this has been suggested, with
a view to giving more satisfaction. Au-
gusta has requested Savannah to bring
up an umpire.
The Augusta team will be made up the
same as when here, with the exception of
the battery. Sullivan viii catch and eth
er Sanford or Kreitzburg will do the twlrl-
ing. The team Is playing well and will put
up a strong game.
The game will doubtless be bulletlned at
some point here. as the interest felt in II
Is intense. The boys feel that they must
win, and If they don't 1t will not be their
fault.
The Reds and the "Yellows" will play
a regular game of indoor base ball at the
Young Mems Christian Association Thurs
day night.

Another foray, by the officers of Justice
Nathan's court, resulted yesterday in the
capture OF four negroes charged with SELL
ing policy tickets. They were Frank
Evans, Charles Creek. Sam Reynolds and
Peter Doins. All gave bond for their APP
pearance before the superior court.
The arrest OF the negroes came about
through the animus borne them by Julius
Halnes. Julius had been buying tickets

too much for him, and his efforts 10 guess

sold him his tickets, and against the Joint

rancor that moved him at the thought
that he had been cheated, was too much
