after which the cords that held the

Leesburg, Ga, June IA. - Not
withstanding the fact that the
weather was unsettled and threaten
ing, the unveiling of the Chehaw me-
mortal and the exercises connected
with the unveiling were carried ont
yesterday in a manner which was
successful in every particular. The
attendance was large and represent
tative, showing clearly the wide inter-
est which had been aroused in the
event.
The cordial spirit of cooperation
between the members of the Council
of Safety chapter, Daughters of the
American Revolution, and the people
of Lee county was shown in the care
full preparations made for the enter
tainment of all who attended. A band
stand from which an excellent band,
conducted by Mr.. Henry Witt, of Amer
icus, furnished music, had been con-
structed. in connection with a large
number of tables for the sumptuous
barbecue and dinner which was serv-
ed while the grounds had been carefully
cleared. Toothsome barbecue suffi-
cient to feed four times the crowd
present was prepared for the occa-
sion.
On account of the fact that brisk
wind had blown practically through
cut lhe entire night previous and a
heayy rain had fallen, many stayed
away who would otherwise have come
In view of these facts, the attendance
was unusually large, and the enthus-
lasm of all who attended was mani
lest and pronounced. The music fur
nlshed by the band added largely to
the enjoyment of the occasion, which
was most enjoyable in every particu-
lar.
1he platform for the band and the
speakers was beautifully and appro-
prlately decorated for the occasion
with numerous streamers of bunting
and United States flags, inspiring il
me almost sylvan surroundings where
'he exercises were conducted. The
members of the local chapter of the
daughters of the American Revolu-
tlon prepared these features with the
greatest care.
seated on the platform were Mrs
william Lawson Peel, of Atlanta, vict

SCOUT KAHOE PAYS
VISIT TO HILLTOP
Davis and Hunt May Be Lost to
Georgetown Nine This
Season.

Mike Kahoe. the Nationals scout, was
on hand at Georgetown yesterday after
noon, and assisted in the stiff work out.
Kahoe took great interest in Big Dave
White. the star twirIer Of the Hilltop
team, and gave him q few good pointers
II Is hoped that the team win be able
to play a game outside on Sunday. The
players are all eager for a chance to
show In the open. Coach Sprigman IS
a little bit worried over his outfeld. At
present there is some doubt as to whether
Hunt, last years star center fielder, will
be able to play. This Is Hunts last year
In the medical school. an II is doubtful
whether he will be able to devote much
time to baseball.
The coach is also a little worried over
'lnky' Davis. II is at present feared
that this crack third sacker might not
De able 10 spare the necessary time for
baseball Davis played a splendid game
at third last year, and aided materially
In the success Of the team.

Amateur Athletic Union
Finals.

Trials for the South Atlantic wrestling
championships were held last night at
the Y. NJ. c. \. building, but men in only

as It was hoped that the local athletes
would be able 70 capture the majority Of
the matches at the finals, to be held at
the Baltimore Athletic Club next week
The two classes represented last night
were the 135-pound and 1S5-pound classes.
These were won by Moore, OF Gallaudet,

TRAINING CAMP NOTES.

Pop" Lanisan, the famous trainer. OF
Virginia, said he had never seen pitchers
work as hard on the second day out. The
boys, after getting warmed up q little,
would cut loose and speed up.
Joe Ergel and Carl Cashion were the
real boys with the hot stun, although
Dixie Walker cut loose on several oc-
casions, causing Griff, who was doing the
catching. to set up howl.
The work OF Engel is being commented
upon ON every hand, as this youngster
has the earmarks of being a real big
league hurler, one who will be able to
stand the gaff OF a long season, and one
who VIII not be easy to put on the sore
arm list.
Another youngster who is now in good
condition, is Joe Boehiing. the Richmond
amateur hurier, who made so good an
impression on the fans while pitching
for the Rattle-Ax team, the Richmond
