|T0DAY'S BASE BALL
I RESULTS I
WITH BRAIN GONE
MAN STILL LIVES
(By Associated Press. J

New York. May 16.-With four
ounces of his brain removed, Jacob
Ritz, 22 years old, of Brooklyn, is
preparing to leave St. Mary's hospit-
al, apparently in good health and
in possession of all his faculties.
The operation was performed by
the surgeons of the hospital, and is
regarded as having been entirely sue
cessful.
Ritz shot himself in the head with
a revolver on April 3, the bullet en-
tering the side of his head.
A tumor formed between the brain
and the wall of the skull and pressed
upon the frontal lobes. In removing
this it was found necessary to take
out about ounces of brain mat
ter. Because of the course of the
bullet had taken, it was thought that
Ritz's senses of sight and taste had
been impaired. Tests, however, in
dicated that these had not been af-
fected.

WILL BUILD A DRIVING
PARK IN AMERICUS
Association is Prepared to
Build Track.

Americus is to have, and at once,
a driving park that will be the
equal, for it's size, of any in the State.
All arrangements to that end were
completed yesterday, and a civil en-

work of laying off the grounds.
A fine tract has been secured for q
period of five years, and the Associa-
ton has money in the bank.
The site for the park is the level
tract at the foot of Church street and
lying between the Central and Sea-
board railway. 1t is as level as any

This was secured through the gen

and fronting upon two lines of rail
way where it will command attention
of hundreds daily, the site is indeed
an ideal one.
With the park and track completed
by the end of July, or before, the AS
sOciation will arrange a series of
trotting events here which will bring
to Americus some of the best horses
IN the state. The track will also be
an ideal one for auto speeding.
That it will attract thousands of
visitors to the city, and prove fea-
ture of interest to those here as we'll.
is an admitted fact
For some time the Association has
been trying to buy or lease a tract
suitable for driving park, and the
one thus secured is without an equal

long will be beyond doubt one of the
popular resorts about Americus.
Some of the city's leading business
men are behind the movement and
will make success of it.

by the fact that the company must

one which has never been attempted

of the goods in the Eastern markets.
