Before one of the largest crowds as

season, Boys High school went down in
defeat yesterday afternoon at the hands
of Georgia Military academy at Ponce
DeLeon by the score OF 10 to O.
For the High school the work of Fox and
Knox stood out above that of their fellow
players. The team was in a back condi-
tion for the game, two regular backs be-
ing out. Fox intercepted one of G. NJ.
y. S passes and ran 20 yards before he
was downed by Brown.
For g. NJ. A Brown was easily the star.
Besides preventing his team from being
scored upon by downing Fox. he made
both of the touchdowns. one for a run
of six yards and the other for so Bahb

This victory gives the pennant of the

II is believed that an organiZa-

good for every one interested in
the game.
The fraternity has adopted
b.oad-minded constitution. the aim
of which is to propagate the best
interests of baseball. One of its
most sacred principles is to compel
strict observation of contract by
both parties and to force its mem
bc"s to conduct themselves in such
fashion during the playing season
that they will be able to give the
club owners their very best services
