COLLEGES READY
FOR THE SEASON

The college baseball season will soon
jar loose.
Already at every prominent college in
the south baseball candidates are prac-
ticing on the good days and working in
doors on the bad ones.
The playing season starts March 10,
when the two big Georgia colleges, Tech
and the University of Georgia, and the
University of North Carolina play their
first games. The University of Virginia
team follows two days later and Trinity
college at Durham, N. c., opens its sched-
ule March 49, The latter part of March
witnesses general opening, with Missis-
sippi Agricultural and Mechanical opening
March "a; Louisiana State university and
Mississippi March 20.
The very latest of the schedules call
for games early IN April. Vanderbilt
yanks away the lid April /, and two
other Tennessee colleges, Sewanee and
the University of Nashville get going
April g.
The season promises no extremely not
able teams but good even contests all
up and down the line.
In Georgia the Tech team promises to
be better than before while the Uni
yersity of Georgia will not be quite so
good. Mercer is uncertain.
Vanderbilt seems to have gone at it
little harder than usual and Sewanee
will doubtless have a good team.
The Mississippi colleges will both have
good teams this season and so will Louis
iana's two big institutions.

Jog down to the lake-a distance of a mile

If weather permits the same programme
will be followed each day. Coach Titus

1t is still possible that Titus, if he
finds his crew develops well enough, will
send a Princeton varsity crew to the big

CY YOUNG'S NAME
AND HIS RECORD

Few fans" know how the name ICY"
came to be applied to Denton t. Young,
who was sold to Cleveland by the Boston
club recently. After Young pitched his
second game for Cleveland in August,
1890, Forest City writer, Jack Foster,
referred to the new pitcher as Cyclone
Young. The name was taken up by the
players on the Cleveland team
Ed Mexican, shortstop, began calling
Young "Cy' as an abbreviation. In a
short time Young's real given name be-
came only memory.
"Cy' Young has been in fast company
since 1890. In that time he was won AIS
of his 760 games That's a percentage of
victories of .629. His record:

LAK THROWS DRIVER
 HIGH INTO AIR
Passengers on Norwalk Trolley Express Have Thrilling Experience.

Passengers on the Norwalk trolley express which is due in this city about 9:30 a. m. had thrilling ex- perience this morning as the car was passing through Black Rock in front of the Hill Coal Company when while going at full speed it came in collision with a two horse team. throwing the passengers headforemost from their seats. but not with force enough to cause any more severe injuries than good shaking up. The driver of the team. John Murray, who is employed by Clampett, the liveryman, was en- crushed stone from the Hill company dock The car hit the wagon almost in the center, knocking it about 50 feet and into the driveway of the Coal company Murray was thrown high into the air. and according to an eye witness of the accident did three som ersaults in the air before he landed on his hands and knees on the ground. The man was stunned for the moment, but arose on his feet with considera hle effort. The passengers of the car who were for the most part residents of Southport on their way to their busi- ness in this city, having recovered from their shock hurried to the help Of the driver, while some went to aid the horses neither of whom were hurt
 
 by the impact of the car Dr. J. W. Wright, who happened to be passing by in an auto looked over Murray and found out that all of his injuries con- sisted of a scarcity of wind and a few scratches on his arms, and that he had imbibed 1iotle too freely which In all probability accounts for his not now being sn inmate of one of the hospitals. It is presumed that Murray did not see the approachi car, as according to a witness, he had turned his horses in the direction of the Coal company driveway before he noticed that the car was moving down upon him. He pulled in the horses to start them agoing. but not enough to prevent the accident. The fender of the car was reduced to scrap The motorman of the car tried his best to avert the accident, applying the air brakes with full force. which undoubt- edly aVerted more severe accident The wagon will need a general over hauling.
