Closing of Franklin Academy

No public exercises of any charae-
ter will attend the closing of Frank
lin Academy this year. This course
was decided upon at a recent faculty
meeting, and is due TO the fact that
as there is no graduating class this
year it would be out of place TO hold
exercises. According
to the school curriculum the eleventh
grade constitutes the graduating class
and on account of the crowded con
dition of the building there was no
eleventh grade during the past year.
The examinations will begin May 81,
and at the conclusion of these exam
nations school will be quietly dis
missed without public exercises of
any kind or character.

board is a great Improvement over
the old one, and is more convenient
for the operators and for the patrons
of the company. The old system Of
ringing a bell is done away with. and
the subscriber in his place OF busf-
ness or at his home merely takes
down the receiver and the signal
reaches the exchange automatically.

this means the operator is saved the

The new board has a capacity for
twelve hundred subscribers. and is
so constructed that additional sec

TWO GAMES

BALL, But THE BOOGIE MAN
WAS IN THEIR WAKE AND
THEY LOST TWO GAMES.
Milton, Who Started in to Pitch Mon
days Game, Went Skyward, and
Was Succeeded by Wright,
in Last Three Innings.

Columbus lost out in the opening
game at Meridian Monday afternoon,
Samples bunch having won by
score of eight to two. Milton started
in to pitch for Columbus, but was ex-
ceedingly wild, and at the close of
the sixth inning was relieved by Man
ager Red" Wright. The Columbus
manager does not claim to be a star
pitcher, but something bad to be
done, and as his pitching staff is none'
too strong and he did not wish to
overwork any of his men, there was
nothing to do but go in the box him.

Perhaps no one in Columbus knew
that Red" Wright was a pitcher un-
til he went In the box at Meridian
and pitched the last three innings of
Mondays game, having relieved Mil
ton, whose wildness necessitated his
removal 1t is true that Wright did
not win the game, but not single
run was made. by Meridian after he
went on the firing line, and the fact
that he consented to appear as a
twirler shows that he has the best
interests of the team at heart and is
willing to do everything in his power
to win games. The locals have been
extremely unfortunate, and num-
Der of games have been lost through
no fault on the part of the players,
but on account of sheer bad luck.
There are a number of crack-a-Jack
PLAYERS on the Columbus team, and
in Wright they have an ideal leader.
Things may look dark at present, but
the end of the season is long way
off, and the Columbians will yet
forge to the front.
In connection with the release of
Buck Freeman by Boston to Wash
ington there lies tale. 1t is said
and on good authority that Freeman
was the player slated for the first
base Job on the Milwaukee team and
that if Joe Cantillon had waived his
claim on the player he would now
be in the brewer lineup. 1t is known
that President Havenor had lines out
for the crack fielder, who is one of
the most famous batsmen in the big
leagues, and that he had the prom
ise of the Boston management that
Freeman would be sold to Milwaukee
If all the American league clubs
waived claim on him. Six of the
clubs, it is claimed, waived on him,
but when it came to Washington
Cantillon thought that he could use
Freeman in the Washington or Min
neapolis outfie1d, and accordingly re-
fused to waive This resulted in the
release of the player to Washington,
and now If Havenor gets the oldrtime
star he will have to purchase him
from CantilIon.
