MOT since the days of Noah has
baseball suffered as much at
the hands of the weather man as
it has this year Not satisfied with
raining all the spring and making
training impossible, it has rained
almost every day since.
Yesterdays game was off on ac-
count of the rain. The second
game Thursday ended in shower
1t rained the day before that. 1t
rained the day before that. 1t has
been raining as long as human
mind can remember-not all the
time, but usually at game time or
shortly afterWard.
The Southern league magnates
are feeling the strain. SO is the
league. If it rains, you can't play
baseball And if you don't play
baseball there are no gate re-
ceipts. It's certainly tough prop
osition
On the other hand, the moguIs
have been helped out by a close
race. There isn't a team in the
league except Nashville that isn't
in the hunt And a close race
means money for the moguls SO
maybe they will do fairly well aft
err all.

THE Cracker club, after to-
days game, is off for the
far south. When the festivi-
ties set for this afternoon end the
locals will hike out on the Jinx
Trip of the season. Maybe the
curse is off this trip this year, and
possibly it will run as smoothly
as a dynamo. But If It does, it
will establish new presidents For
in years past the second jaunt of
the Crackers among the southern
teams has ever been the Trouble
Trip
1t was on this second southern
trip when Bill Smiths famous
rubber ball" charge was made,
that Otto Jordan was arrested and
that the league was thrown into
turmoil that kept ii seething the
rest of the year. 1t was, If mem
DRY serves. on a second southern
trip that jim Fox received the
wound in his arm that ruined the
best first baseman Atlanta ever
had. 1t is a trip that has been
marked with injuries. defeats and
ructions.
But maybe the luck has changed.
THE runs made in the forfeited
J. game Thursday do not count.
To many it might seem an imma
terial point whether they counted
or not: but to the many who are in
baseball pools the question of how
many runs were made Is an inter
esting one. And for the benefit of
this ii may be mentioned that the
score of forfeited games is to 0
Though what logical reason there
ever was for making the forfeit
score 9 to 0 has never been demon
strated).
In order to get a definite ruling,
The Georgian wired President W.
NJ. Kavanaugh of the Southern
league. His reply was According
TO rule o. averages do not count,
as 1--WE innings not played"
AS a matter of real fact rule q
does not cover specifically this par
ticular point. 1t relates only to
games terminated by the umpire
under rule % section 3 And
Thursdays second game was not
covered by that particular section,
for 1t was not called on account Of
darkness, rain. fire. panic or any
other cause which put patrons or
players in peril.
However. even II the president
quoted the wrong rule, it Is appar-
ent that nothing counts in a game

Mr.. John Hankins,
Jasper, Tenn.
Dear Sir;
We wish to write you and express our
appreciation of the benefit derivedfrom
the medicine we bought from you. Our
daughter, May, a girl Of IS years of
age, had suffered greatly with female
trouble. For months she had no use of
her mind at all. She was perfectly
helpless, some one had to be constant
ly with her We had several doctors
to wait on her, but none of them SEEM
ed to do her any good.
We bought from you a bottle of
"Watkin's Female Remedy" and used
it. Then we bought the second bottle.
May was much improved by this time.
And now we are on the fourth bottle
and she is all right. Her mind is good
and her physical condition is spendid.
In fact the medicine has completely
cured her, from all appearances.
We want to highly recommend Wat
kins' Female Remedy and advise all
women suffering With this trouble to
try it. With best wishes,
Very truly,
BEN HARRIS.
