months of time and such stations a.

the limpid waters Of Dicks river,

aud inpatient drivers.
This driving was done mostly in
the Fall it being the intention of
the drover to get his stock beyond
the Cumberland and Pine mountains
before the roads lroze up and W.

Another common sight at that
time was the gangs of negroes VINO

HOPE TO CONQUER
COMMERCE TEAM
Chamber Nine Will Play
First Game of Season
This Afternoon.

While not in the best condition, the
Georgetown team is confident of de-
feating the Chamber of Commerce nine
son this afternoon at Georgetown Field.
The Chamber of Commerce players have
been practicing for some time, and their
rooters are sure of victory.
The Georgetown lineup in yesterdays
contest at the Hilltop, when the Blue
and Gray was shut out to 0, was the
weakest that has been presented this
year, and support accorded Pitcher Tai
bot Lynch was similar Captain Sitter
ding. Murphy, and Davis were out of
the lineup, and subsituations were made
which detracted greatly from the
strength of the nine.
Lynch pitched a much better game
than the score would indicate, but with
his teammates making ten errors behind
him it would be too much to expect
victory under such circumstances.
The victory y0es to the credit of Dave
Robertson, who caused thirteen of The
Blue and Gray batters to strike out.
Five hits were all Georgetown could get,
and three of these were made by Cogan
Hunt, the star fielder and hitter on
the Hilltop team, was struck by n

work of little Martin. who relieved
