We recall now how you stood in the
breach that day in the gloom of
early evening with your smile as
wide as ever. encouraging the boys
to keep at it.
GIVE me a one run lead, boys
you kept saying; just one run, and
they'll never beat us
I'VE remember the excitement,
too, when you landed on Monte
Cross jaw when Silk O'Loughln
had his back turned 1t was funny,
Bill, to see Monte sprawling on the
ground with 10000 wild-eyed fans
roaring for your ire blood. And
there you stood smiling and serene.
Poor Claud Ressman! Silk thought
it was he who hit Cross, and he
fired him from the game.
The Man of the Hour.
And. Bill, we remember that day
in Chicago. the last day of the
league season, when the three
teams-Cleveland, Chicago and De-
Independently tied for first place,
you were the man of the hour for
us. Remember how the kilograms.
letters and telephone messages
poured into the hotel for you that
night?
Detroit depends on you, Bill
was the gist of them all.
And we who were on the inside
remember. Bill, the tragedy of that
night. You were there with your
smile. telling the boys that you
never felt better-and they believed
YOU They did not know. Biz how
you writhed in agony from rheuma-
ttsm all that night. with Trainer
Tuthill and two rubbers working
over you. Bill They were kneading
your pain WraCked body into shape
for battle that meant the Ameri-
can league pennant. And by morn
ing they had you in pretty good
shape. You slept a few hours and
then told the Tigers that you could
win in q walk You were working
on your nerve alone, Bill, but you
didn't want the boys to know, for
fear it would affect their playing.
Staggered Ira Thomas.
And well do we remember that
game. Bill, We remember how. once
YOU got warmed up big Ira Thomas
staggered every time the ball shot
into his big mitt, so terrific was
your speed. We can see YOU now
with your ever present grin. hold

themselves champions of the

Wild Bill Donovan Popular
With Fandom Country Over

y OUTHERN friends of Wild
-, Bill Donovan, former Detroit
star, received with delight the
news that the once great hurler has
found not only comfortable but
an excellent berth as manager of
Providence in the International
league, now that his years of use
. fulness as major Lacquer have

Though Donovan was never on a
Southern payroll, he is a familiar
figure to Dixie fandom. For years
he visited the land of cotton in the
spring, and each year he made more
friends. This season he spent much
of the summer looking over bail
players of this section for the IL

been watched with the keenest per-

every fan beats in response to the
following tribute to his services

Beotleggers Warned.

From the Jackson Sun we notice that
I. G. CASTOR and w. F. Barry, president
and secretary, respectively, of the Jack
son fair, have answered petition from
the ladies, assuring them that the officers
of the fair association at Jackson will
positively refuse "near-beer" stands at
the fair grounds. These stands have
never been allowed at ali at the Union
City fair grounds, but in order to fore
stall any trouble of that kind which
might arise here The Commercial has
taken the pains already to consult with
Mr.. Farris and Mr.. Woosley, and they
also positively refuse to allow anything
in the way of near-beer or intoxicants to
be sold at the Union City fair grounds.
The Jackson Sun comments upon the
action taken at Jackson thus:
"The Fair Association officers should
go one step further: They should in
struct the ticket seller and gate keeper
to refuse admission to any man who is
under the influence of liquor.
There is not a respectable woman or
sensible child who does not detest the
presence of drunken man. There is
no selfrespecting man who will allow
one of these "drunks," temporarily be-
reft of his senses, to infringe on personal
rights or overstep his bounds to the
detriment or displeasure of some inno-
cent woman or helpless child, and out
of such conditions trouble frequently
arises"
Since the above notice was written
Mr.. Farris informs us that he has given
special instructions to the officers to
prevent bootlegging and the sale of in
toxicants at the stands on the grounds
and to arrest and invoke the law strictly
and promptly in case of violations.

In moving from Troy to Tullahoma,
G. L. Moffatt is first to separate from a
mercantile family which established the
first store probably in Obion County.
Mr.. Moffatt is grandson of the late j.
S. Moffatt, who came to Obion County
from South Carolina, a sturdy Scotch
Irish old-school Presbyterian, and en-
barked in the mercantile business there
some years before the Civil War. For
many years he conducted the largest
business of the kind in the county, and
it was often said of Mr. Moffatt that
anything could be bought in his store
from the cradle to the grave, that is,
anything at that time manufactured or
or produced. Two sons were for some
years connected with the business, but
the aged merchant survived them, and
then took his grandsons into the bust
ness. One of these was G. L. Moffatt,
who afterwards opened an independent
furniture store. AS stated the latter
goes to TuIlahoma as descendant and
a representative of one of the Oldest and
best known families in the county. He
leaves Troy with the kindest wishes of
hosts of good citizens all over the county,
especially of those in Troy and sur
rounding country. He leaves behind
him a good name, honored and re-
spected, and in moving takes one of the
good families, who have been part of
the best social and religious life of Troy,
to plant a new home in Middle Tennes-
see in the fair little city OF Tullahoma.
The Commercial takes the keenest pleas
ure in commencing Mr.. Moffatt and his
family to the people of Tullahoma. We
have known these citizens pleasantly IN
need for number of years and tender
the kindest wishes. May they live un-
der the smiles of heaven and in the
graces of kind and generous people.

Every man has HE habit and the
statement holds good with bail PLAYERS
the Smoke boys not excepted When
We say habits. We do not necessarily
mean bad mes. because II is a well
known fact that few Of the local boys
have such. Habits as meant here are
the characteristics OF the boys shown
on the ball field. Each player has
something TO distinguish himself from
the others. For instance. Willie Gray
will walk 10 the plate. and II IL has
ever been noticed he will always let
that first ball lass. That is not an
instruction from Goat but just a plain
habit OF Gray's. Willie allows the
hrst n TO 20 by. good or bad. for
the simple reason that he does not
like to swing at the first pill pitched.
Several pitchers in the league are on
TO the habit and as n result generally
put the first one over. Strikes never
worry Gray as he generally gets n
couple called on him before he gets
busy.
Whenever Servatius takes his posi-.
ton at the plate ne takes a little Jerk
at his belt with his left hand which
is a sure sign hat something's goin'

that means a two-bagger. and when

Whenever Jansen walks up TO the
plate he generally pulls his can down
over his eyes which seemingly adds
10 his confidence. Another habit with

When Dodd walked To the plate he
