Vale. good Pathhnders!
Let your glorious achievements in
the final struggle for the goal speak
for themselves.
1t was but mete that the season on
the local diamond should close with
a double victory. Since the midsum-
mer days when the present band of
athletes was assembled the campaign
has been one full of victories for the
blue and white. To those who
brought it we say Vale,

in the second game. Oh, that second
game. Why couldn't Jack Spratt give
up without the formality of going
through a contest. Anyway Mr.. Ralph
Bagwell wanted to pitch some. He was
allowed to do so to the satisfaction of
all concerned. The locals counted their
tallies in blocks. They belted out the
last block in the sixth with a trio of
singles and numerous troubles among
the opponents and the visitors had no
ammunition with which to come back
In spots the pale athletes showed d
feeling of lassitude-a sort of numb re-
action following the fearful strain of
more subdued, sos head of chivalry and
beauty being present. All the fierce
anlnosity OF the previous series with
Charleston and Macon had died away.
Several gentlemen applauded Mr..
Black when he visited the home bench
for the batting order and Mr.. TRULY
patted him gently on the back.
Fast From the start.
From these signs we infer that every
thing is now all right. Hitting in the
pinches, with here and there a bungle
or base on balls. soon decided the bat
tie in the last game.
In the first contest the visitors made
a brave start. After Mr.. Whipple had
famed, Engel singled to left, went to
third on Cobbs double over Burt s
head, and scored on Wilson's tall fly
10 center.
In the sixth the locals emitted a few
sparks and tied the matter up. Little
Casino walked and was sent to second
by Truby's sacrifice Burt singled and
King scored Burt went TO second on
the throw in, went to third on a pass
ed ball, and was caught at the plate
on Mulls hit to short. Oyler singled
and Yancy whitfield with two on bases.
From then on the engagement was
fast and fierce. In the eleventh two
spanking singles by Burt and Null
laney netted nothing, but foretold of
what was to come in the twelfth. Null
is not much of a believer in signs, but
Andy Roth is. Yancy opened the round
by whiting. Whipple grinned. Miller
fouled out to first. Whipple took a
fresh cargo Of tobacco. Andy Roth en-
tered the box. swung high and clear
and over the left field fence as before
stated Andys method of breaking up
these long-winded contests was highly
applauded.
MIR. BngwelI On the Stage.
Mr.. Ralph Bagwell. Jr.. Of Jesup.
Ga, is youth with Hamlet hair and
an ambition. The ambition was knock
ed silly. and the hair was cut last
night From now on it's all off with
Mr.. Bagwell. Bag said he'd hit just as
many as hit him, and started of in the
very first round by humping Messrs.
King and Burt. He anticipated that
these two athletes were going to do
something to him later. They did.
With two out and Burt and King on
the corners Oyler singled. King getting
caught on long distance run to the
plate. SO much for Mr.. Bagwelrs
lucky hair.
In the second round the Human
Whipcord braced up and whitfield Yam

Such prosperity was too much for the
Jesup athlete and he walked the So
cial favorlte. Holmes was forced at
second on Rips rap.
Tired of the unproductive play al the

athletes braced up IN the third and
