 The Crimson and White never had a chance to score, much less to win. And seeing the helplessness of the home team Georgia played like cyclone. She never let up; her men ran bases, bunted squeezed and hit the ball out of the lot. At times hits fell as thick as ripe apples in the fall, and the visitors presented a panorama of flying white legs.
 Pollard sent Merrill Pratt in to pitch but after five runs had been garnered by the Georgians In the first inning he re- tired him in favor of Smith, For two in nings he fared very well, but in the fourth Georgia put four more runners across the pan. In the sixth she added three more, in the eighth one and in the ninth one, Sturdivant having replaced Smith in the eighth
 Harmon, the lanky Georgian who pitched the first game, was again on the slab. and he was master of the situation throughout He gave up only four hits and had admirable control. The tale by innings: R.HE Alabama :. .. .. :. .. .0OO 900 COO 8 Georgia .. .. .. .. ..5O0 4o3 311--17 16 1

operation of Dr. Leroy Pope Walker, the only surviving son of General Walker. He resides in New iork city and has access to much rare material nll of which he Is contributing for use
 n the work. Other branches of the family are lending all assistance in their power. It Is gratifying also Go know that I have the cooperation and sympathetic encouragement of the United Confederate Veterans, United Sons of Confederate Veterans. the Daughters of the Confectionery, and of other Confederate organizations. In the preparation of the work, I have been ahe recipient of assistance from historical societies and historical de- partments all over the south.
 But perhaps the most touching evil dence of interest has been received from the various surviving officers of high rank in the Confectionery, as well as from many survivors of the civil service. Many of the private soldiers of the first year of the war are famli- far with the part General Walker took in the great struggle and have given me many valuable facts. I shall leave no stone unturned In the development of furthe materials, and as indicated l shall be grateful for any and all as- sistance. As far as may be able to do so, the work will be absolutely full and complete and exhaustive.
 Papers Wanted.
 Tn addition to the memoir, or life proper, the work will contain such of the public papers. reports and corres- pondence of General Walker as. can secure. While have already accumu- lated considerable number and have the promise of others. I am sure that Tn the literary remains of many of his contemporaries there must be number of letters from General Walker to them. I would esteem it great favor if such things could be lent me. in order that they may be copied for my work. The best of care will be given the originals, and they win be promptly returned after being trans Gcribed. I shall regret very much to omit any papers or documents whica ought to De included. and therefore the assistanceof all persons who may have facts. papers or other data, will be appreciated"

Would you pay the Pelican Ball club s4OO for Lave Cross release If you were in the pennant chase with rival club! The question Is being answered negatively by the Southern league moguls this week. They are all shy of bucking the Dutch mans game. even though any of them would unhesitatingly acknowledge the major peer of Southern league tniro-sach- CTS so far shown.
 c. Frank, manager of the Pelicans, and a "foxy grandpa" of the south's crack association, has way all his own.

YOUNG GRIFFIN BETTER

Cullman, April 12.-(Spccial.)- Gull man is rejoicing today over the success of the high school movement. Fifteen thou sand dollars has been guaranteed for a building alone, and this guarantee was signed Friday night and Saturday by 209 citizens, who, while many of them are poor men, are all worth in the aggregate over S500,000. A great many prominent citizens of the town have not yet been seen. The committee is to continue it's work in town tomorrow, and afterward solicitors will be sent throughout the county The Cullman Tribune issued an extra last night, giving the splendid re- port of the committee, which consists of Fred J. Buchanan, chairman; D. ". Smith, S. J. Griffin, s. K. Mcdonald, J.. F. Weeks. S. L. Fuller, w. H. Day and R. B. Thompson.
 News from the bedside of little Willie Griffin, who accidentally shot himself through the bowels last week, and is now in a Birmingham hospital, aie more fav- orable for his recovery from the wound and the very delicate surgical operation performed in sewing up the seven punc- lures the bullet made In his bowels.
 Superintendent If Construction John Woodrow reports work progressing rap idly on the Odd Fellows home during this fine weather. The workmen were en- gagged last week in getting the flooring down and the walls will go up speedily now. A deep well is being drilled for an ample and permanent supply of pure water for all purposes The building will occupy one of the prettiest sites around Cullman, about one and half miles north of town, on the east side, and within sight of the railroad. If Cullman suc- ceeds in securing the state high school 1t will be located on the same side of the railroad, and on the pipe line to be run from the city water works to the home. The same main electric wire will furnish light for both institutions.

WHAT OTHERS SAY.

Bill Bartley, good pitcher and hot sport
 wired Manager c. Frank yesterday, say ing he would leave Philadelphia Sunday for New Orleans, and would help the lo- calls open the season. An urgent letter from Frank probably brought the derelict finger to his senses, and his wire was the cause of intense satisfaction around base ball headquarters yesterday. Bartleys bashfulness, after having looked over the local situation, was the cause of some embarrassment when he skedaddled back to his Quaker home. The Dutchman was as much puzzled by Bartley's backward ness in bringing his wife down here and starting in practicing as were many oth- CTS. If Bart had any intention of hold ing out however. 1t is extremely probable that a few words from Connie Mack, the Athletes manager and Pelicans' friend, put him right.-New Orleans Times-Demo- crat
