The first game was protested by Au-

Smith threw to catch him, he claims
that he had touched the base, and that
it was not fastened to the stake. NO

GRIFFIN WANTS LEAGUE
MEETING NEXT YEAR.
Mayor Bailey Has Written to All the
Mayors.

Griffin will endeavor to get the meet
ing of the League of Georgia Munich
palities for next year. The secretary
of the league, Mayor David ]. Bailey
of Griffin, has written to all the May
ors who are members of the league,
urging them to vote for Griffin as the
next meeting place.
Mayor Myers has received one of
Mayor Bailey's letters, asking him TO
vote for Griffin next year, as Savan-
nah has the league this year. 1t is
more than probable that Griffin will
get the convention, as this is the Sec
ond year the city has rendered an in
vitation. 1t would have secured the
league for this year had not Savan-
nah asked the Mayors to come here.
There were really a few who preferred
Griffin to Savannah, but it is not
thought they had ever been to Sa-
vannah, or perhaps to Griffin, either.
Savannah officials are favorably in
clined to Griffin's invitation. Mayor
Bailey has gone about securing the
convention in a business-like way, and
will probably be successful. 1t is I'M
derstood that he already has a number
of votes pledged for Griffin.
Griffin's City Council passed a reso-
luton unanimously urging the league
to select Griffin as the next meeting
place. The Commercial Club of that
city passed d similar resolution. So
far no other town that wants the con-
Vention has been heard from.

THATCHER RELIEVED BY
SAVIDGE IN THE SECOND.

About the best line Of athletic news
ever sent to Hill City, Mo. trickled
into that town late last night through
a leased wire. The Tidings were to the
effect that Mr.. Ben Herr had been here
and turned the furniture on the Savan-
nah baseball club. His deeds We're not
as glowing as those of the angler in
the first event, but they were just as
resultant.
Our athletes were not feeling as pert
in the last contest as in the first, and
the big Armour pitcher. though hit
hard, was exhibiting his teeth at the
finish just as in the first. There were
many reasons why Herr wanted to
twirl in the second. On the way to
the ball yard a horde of youthful pi-
rates threw things at the gray uni
forms. One miscreant, at present I'M
known to the juvenile court, threw a
portion of watermelon rind, which
smote the man from Hill City, Mo-,
among the eyeballs.
Herr Was Angry.
This assault made Mr.. Herr so an
cry he wanted to do the pitching in
place of Murray and work off the
fierce feeling of hatred and revenge
pent up in his system. The outraged
Armour sample had right to feel
insulted. He is a gentleman, an ath-
lete and land owner at Hill City, and
the treatment he received while en-
deavoring to res IN the grounds saw
ors very much of Charleston or Au-
gusta. In all Mr.. Herr was hit nine
times, exclusive of the one on the way
to the park.
Mr.. Thatcher also felt bad after a
hearty dinner. He had not had the
training of a hard fishing trip as did
the Angler. and after pitching a while
he felt worse than before. Mr.. La
ROGUE, "A gentleman of large ideas,
aspired to hit nothing but home runs.
He damned one out of the lot into
Henry street to the vast delight of
the inhabitants of that thoroughfare.
He also ripped several hard singles
off within the gates, and 2,l94 of our
beauty and chivalry enjoyed an inside
view of these mastodonic clouts which
produced four of the seven tallies.
That is stacking them up some.
WeIch Was Not There.
Mr.. Welch was not present to view
the form reversal. Con went fishing
to get in shape for the next bout. The
angler offers novel excuse for failin z
to report Thursday. While waiting
for a bite on Wednesday he fell over
board in Warsaw sound. He went
down head foremost in thirty fathoms
of water. and before he could right
himself all the money in his pockets
slid out and went TO the bottom like

From the Philadelphia Record.
Jersey Shore, Pa.-To be bitten by
a rattlesnake when nine miles from
medical assistance, and in the middle of
the night at that, is an experience that
none care to have more than once in
a lifetime. John Kuntzman was I'M
lucky enough to have just such an ex-
perience. however, under circumstances
thrilling enough to make a novel. For
two days Kuntzman was not expected
to recover, but his robust constitution
and the application of some of natures
remedies resulted in his pulling
through.
Kuntzman and a companion named
Allen went up into the otter Run dis
trict, two weeks ago, to spend several
days trout fishing. Their headquarters
was to be in a deserted cabin, which
was formerly used as a cook shanty for
a lumber camp. The shack is of logs,
with the chinks filled with mud. The
men got to the camp in the middle of
an afternoon during a rainstorm. They
were wet to the skin, and the first
thing they did was to build roaring
fire of pine knots on the crumbling
stone hearth, and 1t was not long un-
til the shack was warm enough to dry
anything.
Fouhu spruce beus heuuy.
The men found that party of fisher
men before them had left beds of spruce
boughs lying on the floor. The spruce
had dried considerably, but rather than
go into wet woods to get new beds

would use the old beds With deep
twilight the rain ceased, and indica-
tons pointed TO fine opening for trout

Felt sting in His Foot.
Kuntzman had never seen a rattle
snake. How long he had slept he
cannot tell, but he was awakened bv

his feet away with jerk. and at that
