Child Here.

day of the baby girl who came here the
day before, all alone, from a distant
Alabama town and found no one at the

able interest and a great deal of sym
pathy for the tiny traveller. AS stated
yesterday, Lieut.. Cobb took the little
unknown tot to his own home and
cared for her during the night. Yes
terday morning he ascertained the
name of her parents, who reside far out
in the country, west of Americas, and

grandmother in the Alabama village
for long time and was icing sent to
her home here. Her name is Essie
Cook, and the five-year- old tot, with
her doll baby trunk, made the long trip
to Americus all alone, expecting her
father to meet her, which, for some
reason, he failed to do.

COMMISSIONERS WON

There were two sets Of games in the
District Bowling League last night. Car
roll Institute playing match postponed
from Monday. at the Jolly Fat Mems Club,
and the Golden Eagle five competing at the
Saengerbund. The CAROLS took two games
from the Fat Men and the Saengers twice
defeated the Eagles, so that both of these
teens pulled up few points on the jolly
Fats. but the latter have such strong
hold on the lead of the league that they
were not noticeably Jared by this move
ment.
At the Saengerbund the Eagles started
out In excellent shape. though they were
without the services of their star bowler,
Eiker. who is sick with an attack of in
fiammatory rheumatism. His place was
taken by Campbell. and with his assist
ance and strong work by Pearson. who
bowled the highest string of the evening
213-and by Krauss and Brandt who each
had good strings, the Saengers went down
with forty pins too few in the first game
This game was closely bowled, the Eagles
being slightly behind at the end Of the
fifth. But long run of strikes by Pear
son and strong finish by Brandt gave
the Eagles the advantage. and they cap
tured the decision.
The second game saw the Eagles slump
very decidedly, their small score is ex-
planned in part by the unusually large
number Of splits that came their way.
The SaengerOund played up fairly strong
and with Miller bowling 202 the side quit
winner by a margin of over a hundred
pins. Burdine made things lively in the
middle stages by running a bunch of four
strikes, but as split came to him i'm
mediately after this his chance for a big
game was spoiled.
The Eagles were again victims of the
split f1end in the last game, and were not
able to get much Of a total. Up to the
seventh frame the game was remarkably
even, only about twenty pins separating
the teams at that point, but from then on
the splits came like snow flakes on bliz-
zard day. and the home team won hands
down. The scores follow:
