witnessed on Quitman's diamond, and

organizations were Well pleased.
The locals, who have just returned
from series of three days with the
visitors on their OWE sdiamond, in
which they lost one, won one and tied
up the last, were in fine form, and
Wheeler Mangum, who lost his game
at Americus, pitched the greatest
ball OF his career. Able support was
given him by the other members of
the team, and once or twice it look
ed like the Atlanta boy would win his
game, but the hope was false one
ana the final result was a deadfall
doc" Wilson, he of Tech fame, was
on the slab for the visitors, and ne
had his famous s5rikeout arm in fine
trim. He famed twelve of the locals,
and gave up one home-run hit to
Cooper, but walked only two men.
He was ably supported by Ills team
mates, Peddy, Dunn and Vibert star

partly responsible for the bunch of two
runs which the locals managed to
crowd over the rubber in this round

runs on two errors and hit, Peddy

home run, but after this Wilson Was
a mystery and not another man could
be gotten across.

from the grandstand and bleaclaers
alike. There was no unseemly Wrang-

game proved one of the most interest
