of in civilized nations afterward. Sen

Jack Grim, ex-manager Of the Co
lumbia baseboll club has signed a
South Atlantic League contract and
will handle the indicator as long as
Bailey, who has resigned to accept a
position on the pitching staff of the
Decatur Ala, team.
Grim says he is willing to take fall
out of the bullyraggers, and those who
know him feel confident he will have
order, above all things. This will be
his first appearance in the role OF a
professional umpire but there are few
men in the country better capacitated
to fill the position than he is. He has
seen long years of hard service in near
ly every league in the country, and has
successfully managed pennant- winning
teams. He has every point of the game
at his finger ends and his judgment,
as indicated in yesterdays game, is ex-
cellent.
Many wondered who the ump was
who walked into the field at the end
of the first half of the first inning and

Umpire Quinn was scheduled to off,

selected from the players to umpire, but

he was asked TO finish the game, which
he did.

Mr. and Mrs. Thatcher reached Sa-

big fellow was out in uniform in the
afternoon. He is about the size of Dan
Burt, and if appearance goes for any
thing in a ball player, he should be
the star pitcher of this league.
Thatcher says be is in excellent con-
dition, has good control and will do all
he can to put Savannah back on the
winning side.
Chris Heisman, the star slabman of
the Columbia forces, will be on the fir
ing line. 1t was this elongated south

only be for six days, instead of fif-

which intended going at first will not
do so, as it is hardly worth the long
trip, some of the officers claim, Just

sides, only $500 Georgians are to be
allowed.
No explanation of the action of the

time had been cut to six days and
for the adjutant generals office to be
governed accordingly.
