BIG ENGINE A SCARECROW

ROBINSON TO PITCH IN
FIRST OF THE StRIES.
Will Iwirl the Sphere in
Game Monday.

Amerlcus fans will welcome for the
first time here the much touted Thorn
asyille slabmen who come tomorrow
for a series of three games, Monday
Tuesday and Wednesday, playing a
return engagement with the Amer1cls
Champs, Who were there for three
games the past week.
And they are anything than a
bunch of backlot boys as their excel
lent playing in numerous games has
demonstrated.
Among the star fan wielders with
the Thorn. boys is c. C. Ansley, once
the idol of the Champs camp here and
who will throw the ball at his old al
lies.
Old &c. c." is still the goods, and in
a recent game put the blue tag on the
Americus bunch
Pitcher Robinson, who has few
equals in amateur society in the
SoutI when it comes to box work
and all round playing, will twirl the
ball in the opening game tomorrow for
Americus, and if properly supported
will more than likely string it with
our victories.
In addition to his pitching abilities
Robinson ranks Al at the bat, and is
wholly dependable in any place on
the field.
Three good games with Thomasvil!e
are assured, and when these are COM
pleted Wednesday the Champs viii
prepare for the pilgrimage to Albany
next day to tackle their friends, the
enemy, in two games, Thursday and
Friday.
And these will be rattlers, or rather
such is the anticipation now The
team has recently been strengthened
by the addition of Cooper and Donal-
son, Of the Quitman aggregation While
Albany's bunch took three from the
Quitman team when it disbanded re-
recently.
Eight more games of the series of
twelve arranged with Albany remain
to be played.
Of tine four games played to date
She score stands tied, each team win
ning a game and tying up two. Of
forty-nine games played to date Amer
icus has won forty and tied" in sew
eral others.

SOME DUCATS ARE JINGLING y
IN POCKETS OF THE FANS
As Result of Betting Upon Games
Here Recently.

Americus fans fingered a few extra
ira bank notes yesterday when bets
upon the ball game of the day prev,
ious had been settled and the van
quished hosts departed. So strong
was the faith of the Phillistines in
their newly acquired boxetic Samson
that they backed him against the un-
tanned Wolfe at the ratio of eight SIM
oleons to five, and oftimes upon a
two to one basis. Zeal and undue
exhuberence got the better part Of
and-it was sad trip go

ALBANY MAN LOST SUITCASE
IN AMERICUS POKER GAME
"AffectiOn" That Exists Between the
Two Towns.

That Americus and Albany love
each other with AN intensity that pass
eth understanding, even as the bull
dog in one yard cherishes affection
for tie tomcat over the fence, is
fully expressed in the following good
story appearing in the Macon Tele-
graph yesterday from it's Albany cor
respondent.
He might have added, by way of ex-
PLANTATION, that the suit case referred
to was retained here on a royal fash.
Here is his story:
The rivalry between Americus ana
Albany is intense. These two towns
love each other like one tenor loves
another who can sing higher than ne
can. The rivalry is manifest in many
ways, some of them, perhaps. peculiar
to Americus and Albany.
"Tiley are rivals in baseball. in
good roads, in growth of population
and even in the skill of their poker
layers. 1t is said to be an actual
fact that two Alranians who ara rec
o&ni2ed as his2.y, not to say danger
cusly proficient IN the gentle art Of
to&sr, went 10 Americus once up
On a time to clean up Americus.
One of them had recently been
there and had found such easy marks
and so much coin of the realm per
capita that he took a suit case along
to bring back his winnings.
But Americus had only been giving
an imitation of the easy thing. When
the Albanians returned home they had
lost even their suit case.

A MILLION CANS FRUIT
"MADE IN AMERICUS."
IrainIOad of Timed Goods
Made Here.
Three Busy Plants Op-
Grated Here During
the Season of Canning
Just Ended.

The canning season here end
ed yesterday with the closing down o!
THE large plant of the Americus Can
ming Co., of which Roberts Bros. o,
Baltimore, are proprietors. The plant
ran on full time during the season 0!
six weeks, doing an enormous bust
ness.
More than one million cans peaches
were put up here during the season al
the Roberts plant and the smaller ones
Of the Ware-Progres sand the Ray
mond Orchards Co., near Americus.
These one million cans of 3-In
weight added eighty carloads peaches
to the 23O cars shipped otherwise 70
the East and North.
Some idea of tkre magniture of the
peach canning industry in Americua
is thus given, when it is understood
hat it would require four long freight
trains to carry at one shipment the en-
tire output of the canneries here. The
Ware-Progress Co. alone shipped away
a trainload.
THE plant of the Americus Canning
Co., under the management of the
Messrs. Langrell, of Baltimore, had a
most successful run.
The Messrs. Langrell started their
plant in operation the first of June
and for six weeks have worked un-
ceasingly. Fruit was most abundant
at all times and the plant was oper-
ated ON full time.
This plant alone put up more than
100000 cans of 3-lb weight: a total Of
2,250,000 pounds canned peaches, or
about sixty car loads Their output
includes an excellent quality of pie
peaches, as we'll as the superior and
more expensive brands of table fruit
The seasons business just ended
is the largest the company has ever
lad here. During the six weeks Of
'usu work they employed a large force
Of operatives here, including hundreds
IF colored people. Their expense ac-
count, including cost of cans ami
crates, exceeded one thousand dollars
per day.
The 10000 cans peaches put up BY
1hem bear the label Made in Amer;-
Gus, Ga" and are shipped to every
state in the union.

Smithville, Ga, July 23.-Dr. T. H.
Clark's Maxwell and George III. Bur-
tons Overland and quite a number of
people were waiting when the Buick
hilf climber carrying the pathfnders
drew up here. The road from the
Sumter county line here is good, but
from here on to the county seat it is
rough in places, sandy in others and
in some places it is both. More than
that, it is crooked. Lee is a coun-
ty with fertile land, but it is thinly
settled in this section. What people
here are, however, wan better roads,
and have insisted strongly that they
shall be improved particularly the
road from Smithville to Leesburg.

on hazing would brand 10" on any
classman, for the class of 1910 is long
out of college, having graduated last
May. The fact that the numeral was
branded on Foote seems to show, Stan
ford students believe, that the work
was done by some one not familiar with
college life save in a general way.
COLLEGE TRADITION
The sophomore class is the class of
1913, but, according to all the traditions
of college life they would not brand
their own numerals on a freshman.
Further indication that the captors
were not students bent on hazing, but
robbers bent on plumber, is pointed out
In the action of the men in taking
Foote's money The police say that it
was natural that they would not keep
his watch, as all accomplished thieves
know that to keep such piece of evil
dence might lead to their capture.
Foote was in a neighborhood un-
known and never before visited by him
when he found the five men waiting in
their auto, and this seems to indicate
that he was mistaken for some one
else. He had gone to the postoflce TO
mail a letter to his parents in KaliSpell,
Mont, and walked out of his way TO
Waverley street in order to avoid the
attentions of some sophomores he saw
standing where he must pass them
HAZED TWICE THIS TERM
Foote twice during this term has
been in the hands of the sophomores,
but both times he complied good ma
turedly with their commands and made
no enemies among them. He is Well
liked by those few who know him.. On
one occasion the sophomores made the
student stand on chair and give his
high school YELL tapping his arms
meanwhile, as a rooster flaps his wings
when he crows. and again they had him
regale them with song. After this per-
Torrance the youth was made to strip
and then he was ''tubbedF The boy
went through the affair laughingly and
was released with good natured slap
on the back.
1t is known that Foote never drinks
or smokes, and that he is very quiet in
his habits. Those who knew him in
his home town speak highly of his in
dustry and modesty.
TIE story told by the student after his
return here last night tailed in every
respect with the one told Chief of Po-
lice Ahern in Sacramento when Foote
walked into Sacramento Friday, worn
out and moneyless. According to his
statement the men who kidnapped him
wore false mustaches and disguised
themselves as well as possible, but he
believes all of them to be somewhat
under 80 years of age. He says he
imagines that students would have car
ried out just such a wild program with
him. but for all that he does not be-
lieve that his captors were students.
