Tech Baseball Club Od for First Workout Toda|
Team Looks Very Strong, Despite Serious Los5d
By "Bud'' Fishe,

football players This year there
are more baseball men than there is
room for and the wedding will start
in q few days.
Losses Are Severe.
Tech has lost several good men
from the last years varsity, and
their headwork and experience will
be missed more than ever as the
varsity of this season will be COM
posed mostly OF new men. The
most serious loss is at third base.
as only one man has tried out for
this place in the last four years,
and that was Harry Holland, the
best college infielder In the South.
In the 1911 Georgia series Holland
went to bat twelve times and
brought back eleven clean hits, and
this was when the iuvlncible Carl
Thompson was in his prime.
Sid Holland who played college
ball only one year and yet who was
picked as an all-Southern second
baseman, has also gone. He will
not be in school this year and there
IS another hole to fill.
McLin is out of school on ac-
count OF deficiencies. Mac was a
good outfelder; could catch and
was sure hitter, besides running

ASK FLAGMAN
TO CARE FOR
A CROSSING

Council Took Action in The
Matter Recently

A menace to the lives of many who
cross the tracks of the Central #
Georgia railway is found in the Spring
street crossing, according to the re-
ports heard at the recent meeting of
city council. AS the members of the
board of aldermen viewed the matt y
in this manner, action was taken to
have the Central place a fiagman at
this crossing to prevent danger 10
human life and to vehicles that make
use of this crossing.
The demand from the Central for a
flagman at this crossing will be made
a; once. In the discussion had Incl
dent to the action taken by the board
of aldermen it was pointed out that the
crossing had been proved to be dam
gerous one. The killing of a negro 1t
that point recently was one of the
cases brought up, while members of
the board of aldermen said that they
had experienced narrow es-
capes in crossing the tracks in vehi-
cles.
Discussion was favorable among the
members of council relative to making
still further demands of the Central
and the Seaboard as to the furnishing
of fiagmen at the most important rail-
road crossings in the city, as it has
been shown that these crossings are

Final Appeal to Governor
Mann in Vain

Richmond, Va, March 28.-Floyd
Allen and his son, Claude, the only
two of the Hillsville gunner to pay
the death penalty for the Carroll
courthouse murders year ago, were
electrocuted in the state penitentiary
shortly after l p. IN. today, after
a dramatic eleventh hour attempt to
save them had been thwarted by Gov
ernor Mann unexpectedly returning
to the capitol, thus preventing the
lieutenant governor from acting upon
a request for a Communication. The
elder Allen, terribly unnerved by the
excitement incident to the delay OF
six hours in carrying out the SEN
tence, went to the chair at 1:l0
o'clock. He was pronounced dead al
1926 o'clock.
The prison guards brought Claude
Swanson Allen, son of Floyd, into
the death chamber at 1:30 o'clock. He
was dead at 1:35.
Father and son, occupying separate
cells, heard the death warrants read
a few minutes after one o'clock.
Tears were in Floyd Aliens eyes as
he gazed upon his boy who stood be-
hind the steel bars across the cor i
dor. There was a pathetic farewell
as the old mountaineer, bent and fee
bic, was led away. The guards on
each side of him held his arms as
they marched through the door into
the death chamber. Two minutes af-
ter he entered the room the signal
was given and the current was turned
on. When the prison surgeon an
nounced at 1926 that Floyd Allen was
dead the body was hastily removed
and the guards sent back for Claude.

CINCINNATI and
LOUISVILLE ARE
ALSO Threatened
WATERS CREEP UPON Them
Floods Wrought Havoc With
Traffic

Louisville, KY, March %. - With
water already sweeping over the low
er sections of the city and the Ohio
river steadily rising, Louisville today
faces the second food of the year.
Profting by experiences in Janu-
airy when many persons were caught
in the rapid rise of the river, the
board of public safety late last night
ordered a special detail of police into
the flood threatened section with or
ders to forcibly remove those who
would not move. Early today the wat
ter began to sweep over what is To-
cally known as "the cutoff" but II
found only deserted homes. With the
work of rescue accomplished, charity
organizations today are feeding the
homeless at relief stations while 9th,
ers are being cared for at hospitals
and other public institutions, Cold
biting winds with snow and sleet gave
way today to sunshine and higher
temperatures.
At several points along the river
between Louisville and Cincinnati
bodies have been seen floating by. Al
Maysville a body was taken in tow by
boatman but the current caught It
and carried it under before he could
get it ashore. These bodies are be-
lieved to have come from the flooded
sections of Ohio
In the western part of the state
around Owensboro, Henderson and Pa
ducah, the water is spreading over the
lowlands.
Already high water has played hav-
oc with railroad transportation. With
washouts, weakened bridges and in
some instances the tracks entirely
gone conditions have resulted in an
nulling all schedules, Yesterday a
limited from Florida and other South
ern points was forced to go up one
branch line and down another zig
