PLANS ON FOOT TO PROVIDE FOR
HANDLING THE BUSINESS
ACROSS THE RIVER.
County Attorney Instructed to Open
Negotiations With j. T. Dent for
Road Right Of-Way Through His
Rice Plantation.
Rice Plantation.

The board of commissioners of
Glynn county have finally realized
that, in order to bring visitors from
the North and East to Brunswick and
to secure trade and visitors that
should justly come to this city, some
means of transportation across the
Altamaha river must be provided, and,
realizing that it is impossible to con-
struct a bridge just at this time, the
board has taken up the question of
operating ferry between Glynn AID
Mcintosh counties.
County Attorney Meador has been
requested to open negotiations with J.
T. Dent for a right-of- way through
his rice plantation from the county
public road to the Altamaha river,
and, if this is secured, then the com
missioners will take up the matter of
providing the ferry.
The county already has a road lead
ing through the rice field to the banks
of the river, it having been construct
ed a few years ago for the purpose
of providing a road for the automo-
bilists, but when it was built the
right-of-way was given by Mr.. Dent
only for the use of automobiles, there
fore if the ferry We're put into opera
ton and under the terms of the con-
tract with Mr. Dent only automobiles
could use the road.
County Attorney Meador Will at
once open negotiations with the own
er Of the land through which the
road passes with view of securing
from him the right-of- not only
for automobiles, but for vehicles of
any description. If this is done then
the Mcintosh county authorities vii,
be conferred with and the result will
no doubt mean that ferry will be
maintained between the two counties
at all times.
The matter was discussed at the
regular monthly meeting of the COM
missioners held on Tuesday, and steps
looking 10 the securing Of the the right
of-way will be taken at once.
Just what kind Of ferry win be
provided has not Of course, yet been
decided, but it is the plan of the COM
missioners to construct one large
enough to accommodate the largest
automobiles. 1t will be kept in OPP
GRAFTON at all times, and it will not
be necessary for an auto party to
make arrangements ahead Of time for
crossing the river.
If this plan is carried out it is be-
lieYed that the serious problem of
means of crossing the Altamaha will
be relieved for a time at least, and
it is believed that it will then be
demonstrated that a bridge is neces-
sary. The commissioners will prob
ably go further into the matter at
their next meeting.

frankfort, Ky, Nov S.-President
Taft arrived here at 92O this morning
and was entertained at breakfast by
Governor Wilson The occasion OF
his visit to this place was his ad-

Mir. Taft appears to be crushed by
the news of the elections yesterday,
the democratic victories in many of

state, weigh heavily on the presidents

NEGROES IN SHOOTING scRAPE.
Carl Flowers Shot and Badly Injured
by Zenora Junis.

Carl Flowers, a we'll known negro
man, baker at the bakery of G. A..
Faber, was shot and seriously injured
yesterday afternoon near the corner
of G and Amherst streets by Zenora
Junis, a young negress. Flowers s
wound appears to be quite serious,
but it is not thought that it will re-
suit fatally.
The negro woman has been arrested
and placed in Jail and will not be
given a preliminary hearing until the
result of the injury is known. Just
what caused the trouble is not known,
but it seems that the two got into a
dispute which soon resulted in a fight.
The negress secured a pistol and fired
at Flowers, the bullet taking effect
in the left shoulder. Dr. Christie was
summoned and dressed the wound.

INDOOR BASEBALL
RECA|NINC FAVOR
Game Almost Same as Played
Outdoors Has Aroused Fans.
LEAGUE may Be FORMED.
Promoters Plan to Place Clubs In Sew
eraI Big Cities-Big Major League
Ball Tossers Have Taken Up Game.

While winter holds sway in many
cities and the air is tinged with Jack
Frostican twang, making the outdoor
game impossible, the game of indoor
baseball has been so perfected that,
minus the grass, the fence ads. and the
bleachers, it is one and the same thing.
Interest in this perfectly fine game
is picking up in nearly every big city,
is as enthusiastic about it as they are
about the real thing. In fact, the game
has become so popular that the pro-
moters in several large cities are about
to form big circuit, with many of the
major league stars as players. In New
York Andy Coakley, formerly star
pitcher of the Chicago Nationals, is
one of the most active promoters of the
game, and he predicts a great future
for the game. Coakley says that he in
tends to do all in his power to organ
ize the circuit.
Among the major league stars who
have taken up the indoor game are
Hans Wagner, Tommy Leach, Chris
ty Mathewson, Heinie Zimmerman,
George Browne, Rube Waddell, George
Wiltse, Sherwood Magee and a num-
Der of others. These men are pleased
with the game and believe it splen-
did way to condition themselves for
the coming season. In the different
cities where these players have ap-
peared the games have been largely
attended and the fans are enthusiastic.
Recently in Rochester, n. Y, Rube
Waddell established new strikeout
record. In a battle against John Gan
zers team he famed twenty-five men
in nine innings.
Indoor baseball of today is not the
game witnessed several years ago.
where a big soft ball was used and a
sawed off broom handle was brought
into play for a bat and where the run
ner was hit with the ball to be retired
instead of throwing the sphere to the
baseman-not like that at all.
All the rules and all the plays which
have made baseball the national pas
time Of this country and are forcing
it into all lands where q real sport is
sought are in vogue, with but one mod
ification-when a batter is hit by a
pitched ball he cannot take his base.
A ball an inch larger in circumference
than the outdoor ball is used, and it il
but little softer. Regulation outdoor
bats are used, and the diamond is just
as large as that demanded on the big
circuits. Ninety feet base lines are
marked off.
The ball can be curved not only II
little bit, but wide shoots and bends
are put on the ball, and the catcher
necessarily must use the chest pro-
tector, the mask and the big mitt. The
fielders wear gloves.
