Work Not Curtailed. However.

With its facilities taxed the utmost, and with
demands upon it constantly growing. the Presby-
terrain Hospital, at Park-ave. and Sevenueth-sI'
needs help from that part Of the public which can
afford to aid a worthy charity. Although the hos
pitfalls annual deficit has been growing, and
amounted to more than $5S500 for the year ended
September 60, the managers have not curtailed the
work of the institution or lowered its standard OF
excellence IN any department, having faith that the
public will sooner later appreciate the true value
of its services the sick poor OF the city and come
to its support.
In the year the hospital gave medical or surgical
service TO 1915 persons OF these patients. 6S per
cent were unable pay anything. and were treated
free; per cent endowed beds. and there
fore were not charged for treatment; IT per cent
paid only 81 a day. and the remaining per cent
were patients in private rooms. who were charged
little more than the cost of their care The aver

Over 10000 persons made 1913 visits to the hos

furnished enabling thousands to continue their
daily work and escape more serious sickness. To

persons The hospitals electric ambulance re-
sponded to 2,SH calls in the year, and this meant
that hundreds of persons were snatched from the

the year. and its revenue to the hospital amounted

and Atlanta, asking about the game to
be played with Charleston, and the in
dications are that a large number of
the University of Georgia men and At
lanta admirers of the blue and white
will go over to witness the contest. At
Athens there is a belief that Savannah
will win. even against the strong men
from Clemson that Charleston will use.
These men are entitled to play on the
Charleston team, as no agreement has
been made as to excluding any players.
Savannah, however, will not play a
single man who does not live here and
work here every dav in the week.
big Crowd Will Go from Savannah.
Over 200 persons have already spoken
for accommodations on the special
train which will be run from Savannah
to Charleston on the day the game is
played and it is believed that at least
500 Savannah rooters will go over to
cheer the blue and white to victory.
So far Charleston has not arranged a
game for Christmas, and Savannah will
have this one advantage of having
played a hard, bruising game one week
before the New Year.
Mr.. G. Reuben Butler who will have
charge of the special train which will
be run from Savannah has made final
arrangements with the railroads for the
train, and accommodations can only
be furnished to about 400 people, so
those desiring to go on the train can
engage seats now by applying to Mr..

The official batting averages of the
Southern League have been given out
by President Kavanaugh. Smith of
Shreveport turns out to have been the
best all-around player in the league.
He lead the shortstops. lead in base
stealing and stands high in hitting and
run-getting. Among Others who were
good all-around players, are Beck and
Norcum of Shreveport, Stafford of At
lanta, Delehanty and Lynch of Little
Rock, and Wordsworth of Montgomery.
Norcum lead the run-getters with los
tallies to his credit. Wordsworth of
Montgomery and Smith of Shreveport
stood next in order.
Though Crabill and Kennedy of Bir-
mingham and Hugh Hill of Nashville,
were the leaders, Jim Delehanty of Lit
tie Rock was the real leader. His
average of 3S2 for ninety games is a
fine one. Fisher and Smith of Shreve-
port were next in order; altogether,
there were thirty-six batters over the
300 mark.

leans to-day for Savannah, where he

meetings. Caps says he will be here
in time for the Christmas matinee, and
will enter both of his horses. Dock
Mayer and Kingfull will be entered
in the same race Friday at even
weights, and the superiority of the two
horses will be determined. Last Fri
day Kingfull beat Mayer in the first
race, and in the last Mayer turned the
tables, finishing a scant head in front
of Hand Organ, whose performance
was most creditable. Hand Organ may
also be entered in the same race with
a few pounds off, and will be able to

AVERAGES OF HITTERS AND
PLAYERS In SOUTHERN LEAGUE

Stafford of Atlanta lead the first
basemen of the league with percen-
tage of 9"1. He only made eleven err
rors all the season. Vaughn of Biz
mingham was next. with a percentage

in fifteen games.
Hennager of Little Rock and Beck
of Shreveport lead the second base
men. O'Brien of Birmingham and
Prout of Shreveport lead the third

port lead the shortstops of the league,
though Atz only played in fitty-eight
games, while Smith played the whole

A meeting of the Executive Commit
tee OF the Savannah Athletic Associa-
ton was held yesterday afternoon to
consider the resignation of Mr.. Michels,
who has managed the football team
since the commencement of the season,
and after comforting with Mr.. Michels
he was induced to withdraw his resig-
nation, and will continue to manage
the team throughout the season.
All of the financial affairs of the as
ISOLATION were satisfactorily exhibited
to the board of managers, and Mr..
Michels was highly complimented on
the manner in which he has conducted
the business affairs of the football
team.
Mr. Neyle Colquitt, who made the
arrangements with the FIT. Mcpherson
team, stated that he had found the
team disbanded when he reached At
lanta, but after looking into the matter
and going over the record of the team
he decided it would be a good drawing
card to have the soldiers get them
selves in shape for a contest with the
Savannah team. He accordingly made
them the flattering offer of 1925 guaran-
tee. which was accepted and a tele-
gram was forwarded to Sandy Beaver
to come up from Stone Mountain and
commence coaching the team for the
Christmas game.
Mr.. COlquitt stated that he believed
the soldiers would give the Savannah
boys a hard game, and that too much
confidence here of victory would mean
defeat, as the team is one of the heavi-
est that the blue and white team has
ever lined up against
A Hard Practice Last Night.
Capt. Cope had the squad out for a
hard practice last night. Every man
was present and went through the diff
ferent plays with all the ginger and
snap that has characterized the play
of the team this year. Capt. Cope is
working hard to have the team put up
an unbroken line before the Charleston
men when they line up on New Years
Day, and will have many new plays to
present
A number of letters of inquiry have
been received in Savannah from Athens
