Several of them were arrested and
were taken before a justice of the

ingly as safe from notice as though

According to appearances created by

GIRLS ATHLETIC CLUB
ORGANIZED YESTERDAY
High School lassies Will Add In
tercst to Program of Athletic
Association.

The girls of the Phoenix Union
High school held a meeting yester
day and organized the Girls Athletic
club. which is to be subordinate to
the High School Athletic association
The officers of the club are: Miss
Engstrom. president; Miss Bernice
Smith, vice president: Miss Edith
Teel, secretary; Miss Cynthia Marlar
treasurer.
The girls discussed at length yes
terday many questions pertaining Ia
the plans of the new organization, on
which final action will not be taken
until the next meeting, which will be
held Monday afternoon at O'Clock
One thing decided upon however, is
to organize class teams in both base
ball and basketball. II was tenta-
lively decided that the basketball
season will begin about the middle OF
November and that the baseball sea
son will follow, about two months
later.
The meeting was a decidedly en-
thusiastic one and the young la
dies are determined that they Will
keep up their end of the athletic
association in a way that will COM
mand the admiration and respect OF
the young gentlemen who think they
are about all there is of it in the
matter of high school sports. The
boys admit that the girls can shine
in basketball but they nave a lin
gering suspicion that when ii comes
to baseball they will make a sorry
showing. The girls however can see
no reason why they can't twirl a
curve or stop a grounder as well as
the boys do if they learn how and
they take no stock in the old theory
that a woman cannot throw a base
ball just as straight as anybody else
and with just as much speed and
effectiveness.

OciIIa VS. Nashville.

yesterday in quest of a victim
and glory and directly found them
selves in friendly combat with
the braves from Nashville. When
the dust of battle cleared away
the score-board revealed a victory
for Ocilla 4 to I. The game was
not SO one-sided as might be in
ferred by the score, as it was
hotly contested throughout the
score standing 1 each until the
eighth inning when Ocilla uncov-
cred a batting rally which netted
three runs and won the game.
Our own Freddie Harrington was
on the firing line for Ocilla and
gave up but two hits and gave
not one little base on wild ones
