master and an excellent citizen of this
city, has just resigned his position as
postmaster here. A few months ago,
about in October. Mr.. Fulghum loaned
some stamps to neighboring post
master. The inspector appeared on
the scene as though the plot had been
we'll laid, and reported Mr.. Fulghum
short although he had the money
there to balance the amount The
proceedings all seemed to have been
the result of the work of a very few
enemies to get revenge or perhaps re-

inspector seemed determined to have
Mr.. Fulghum removed, whether right
or wrong, the latter resigned.-Fre-

GRIFFITH HAS RUN GETTER.
Has a Play for Steal From Third
Which Rarely Fails.

Atlanta, Ca, April fans have
become wise to the new squeeze play
in which Griffith has been drilling the
Highlanders for some time past, and
which seems to be his own individual
contribution to the novelties of the
season Of 1905. The play is said to be
the greatest run getter ever invented
in closely played baseball games.
The play is made with a man on
third base when only one man is out.
It requires careful coaching and ex-
act team play. All hands participating
must be on the alert passing the right
signals, and the runner must start at
the drop of the pitchers hand.
The coacher watches the pitcher
closely and in the jargon Of coaching
talk there is a signal at which the
runner starts toward home plate. At
the same time the batter hunts the bail
to the ground, and nine times out of
ten the run is scored, and often both
runner and batter are safe. This new
play is really a wonder, and while
Griffith merely speaks Of it as an
ordinary detail of scientific baseball.
he counts heavily upon it to help his
men win the pennant this season.
