This year finds Chance in as bad a pre-
dicament as ever before. With the season
not three weeks gone the peerless one
already has tried out three men. Derrick
started and went out because OF illness.
Sterret came next, being followed ~
Hartzell the present incumbent. How
long he will last is as problematical a
query as is any dealing with the exact
age of the pyramids.
Back in 1906 Charley O'Leary had things
all his own way at Detroit. threatened
only by the few final outbursts of Bobby
Lowe, whose big league career as a reg

the scene in 1907, vying with O'Leary for

the season. Then came owen Bush. fresh

Right at the present time the shortstop-
ping point is the very least OF Hughey s
worries.
Mcbride Gusts Altizer
Things in this line are just as quiet
and serene in Washington, where George
Mcbride holds out. Previous to 1907
George wasn't even known. In that year
Altizer, Perrine and O'Brien endeaypred
unsuccessfully to show they knew some
thing about playing shortstop. Then,
quietly and ostentatiously.s Mcbride ap-
peared, unsung and unheralded, and from
that time on the big league averages have
shown but one name, that of Mcbride,
as playing short for Washington. He is
in these again this year, steady as a
lighthouse on a rock, yet doing nothing
really spectacular. His work is the same
day in and day out, and only If he be-
come disables in any way will National
fans and Griffith, fully realize what an
unassuming star he is.

represented the Southern league in fas-
ter company.
Dock Birmingham, manager of the
Cleveland team, has gathered together
this year very promising team. On il
are Joe jackson and Doc Johnson. both
of whom finished their baseball leduca-
tion under Charley Frank of the New
Orleans team. In 1910 jackson led the
league in hitting and was promptly
grabbed by Cleveland. A year later
johnson followed his former team mate
to Cleveland.
Many Others Appear
There are several other Southern
leaguers on the different American league
teams, among them are Casey purchased
by Detroit from Little Rock i'm 1909; Lord
Of Philadelphia, who was picked up in
1908 from the New Orleans team; Derrill
Pratt of the st. Louis Browns, who was
obtained in 1911 from Montgomery; Jim
mie Johnson, the former Baron, who
was purchased last year by Chicago, and
Clarence Smith, another Baron, who went
to Chicago in 1912.

that Navin, when he declared that no

The reserve rule is hard but it is

Manager John J. McGraw of the
Giants makes the declaration that
Matty accomplished a worlds record
when In the game against Philadel-
phia he pitched only 81 balls TO re-
tire his opponents after pitching 81
tails means he pitched 40 balls to
the three batsmen that, on an average,
would face him each inning. This is
at the rate of a fraction more than
two balls to each man.
Had he struck out every batter he
would not have had so good a record
in the matter of pitched balls, because
then he would have had to deliver at
least 81 balls, not counting fouls after
to three men each of the nine innings.
Mathewson did better. He put the ball
where the batter had to hit it-and
except five times it was always hit just
where the fielders were.
If their performances up to date may
be taken as a criterion, the major
league pitchers as a whole will un-
doubtedly enjoy the biggest year they
have had and the batters the worss.

A Kind Hearted Tramp.

Umbrella members, trampS and beg
bars are generally considered by peo-
pie as belonging to one class and are
as a rule Stunned by the people gen.

they do from desire and others from
force of circumstances. That all are
not altogether bad was shown few
days ago when an umbrella mendef,
who also sold coat-hangerS, entered
the Grinstead poultry house to show
his hangers. Plying the mans con-
dition, Mr.. J. M. Millen gave him
dime for which the man seemed very
grateful. AS he left the poultry house
he met blind-man and after gazing
at him a moment, he drew from his
pocket a quarter in small change and
put it in his hand, saying, Here

Died at CampbeIIsyille.

Mr.. VIM L. Farris, who was in his
year, died at Campbells-
vile last Saturday. The interment
was near Game Valley, this county,
where the deceased lived for many
years. He was fine old gentleman,
and his death brought sorrow to many
homes. An honest man, Christian
in its truest sence, he passed over to
the other side like sleeping child.

Mrs. Victoria GarneIf.

Last Tuesday, just before this paper
went to press, the subject of this
writing, in the presence of loved ones,
crossed over the dark river and was at
rest with the God she had faithfully
served for many years. She was a
daughter of Edmund L. and Nancy
Willis, and was born and reared in the
Zion community, and from early in
life was lady highly respected for
her many Christian virtues. We can
not recall the name of a lady who was
more widely known than Mrs. Victo-
Garnett. A woman of strong charac-
ter, her advice was sought by the
young people, profit resulting, as her
admonitions at all times contained
good and wholesome teachings.
When quite young woman she was
married to VIM. H. Garnett, who was
a brother of the late Judge James
GARRETT, and who was a prominent
citizen Of this county. To them a
family of three children were born, j.
E. GARRETT, who is in the West, w.
A. Garrett, and Mrs. Ella Scott, the
two latter being at the bedside when
the end came.
We have already spoken of the good
ness of this excellent lady, but to
show her tenderness even to a person
who was not the remOteSt akin, we
have only to relate her interest shown
in Will Judd, who lived in her home
for nine years, and who was cared for
as one of the family: and her passing
lost the best friend the young man
ever had. His every wish was graf
flied, the deceased longing to see him
grow and become useful man in the
affairs of the world.
Mrs. GARRETT was born September
II, 1874, making her little over six
ty-eight years old when death came.
When quite young woman she made
profession of her faith in Christ,
united with the Baptist Church, liv-
ing devoted member until the final
dissolution.
The funeral services were held
Wednesday forenoon, conducted by
Rev. o. P. Bush, at the residence f
Mr.. w. A. Garnett, the deceased old
home, in the presence of a large circle
of relatives and friends. Atthe con-
clusion all that was mortal of this
good woman was laid to rest in the
family burying ground.
Besides the children mentioned
above, the deceased is survived by
two brothers, H. P. and Anthony
Willis, and two sisters, Miss Harriet
Willis and Mrs. Caroline Jeffries, sew
eral grand children and number of
nieces and nephewS.
The survivors have been left
priceless heritage-a good name; and
to again see and know the departed,
godly lives must be lived.

Commencement Exercises, Graded
Sch0Ol.

The closing exercises of the Graded
and High School began on Sunday
night, May IS, with the baccalaureate
sermon by the Rev. ]. n. Crawford at
the Presbyterian church. The speak
er's remarks were confined with par
ticular reference to the graduating
class, but were inspiring to the entire
audience as we'll. His thoughts were
practical to every school boy and girl
present and he had their attention at
all times Tuesday afternoon the an
nual Glass Day exercises were held on
the school grounds in the open air.
The program consisted principally of
the Glass Prophecy by Miss Avis Tup-
man; Glass History-Miss Leonora
Lowe: Knocks-Miss Nell Tarter; and
Glass Will-MisS Mary Williams. The
musical part of the program was also
rendered by the four young lady grad
yates. Among the numbers was die
LOreli," a quartette sung in German.
On the whole it was most interest
ing program.
Tuesday evening was given over to
a reception to the High School pupils
in honor of the graduates.
Wednesday morning at 9 O'Clock
unique little play entitled "Bibi'' was
given by the pupils ofthe primary and
intermediate grades. 1t was a story
of Gluepot's Toy Shop and in spite of
it's nature held the attention of the
grown-ups throughout. Although it
was only given to the patrons of the
school, standing room wasat a prem
ium and many were not permitted to
see the play.
Wednesday afternoon was given
over to the Track Meet and Field
Day at the Fair Grounds. In spite of
the threatening weather a large crowd
was out and witnessed some very in
teresting(contests. Rex Holiday
won first place with four points, Ed
gar DiddIe was a close second with
three and one-fourth points. Else
where in this issue will be found a
list Of all the winners.
Although in the midst of a down.
pour of rain large audience was pres
ent at the Presbyterian Church
Thursday evening at the annual grad
uating exercises The theses and
graduates were "Feudalism." Miss
Avis Tupman; 1.-THE Art of Music, p"
Miss Mary Williams; 1.-THE HELENE of
the Past, Miss Nell Tarter; "To the
Stars through Difficulties, Miss Le-
onora Lowe.
Contrary to usual feminine abilities
on the platform each young lady read
her thesis as to be distinctly heard
by every one and hardly member of
the audience could tell it was raining
in no small quantity.
The reaching of the papers was in
terspersed by splendid vocal solo by
Mrs. Sam Burdette ''In the Garden of
My Heart" and an excellent reading
by Miss Loretta Dunbar, "The Hazing
of the Valiant"
Following the theses the class ad-
dress was delivered by Judge H. G..
Baker. He held the undivided atten-
ton of the audience during the entire
time. A splendid picture of ideal
womanhood was held before the young
lady graduates and discussed from a
practical standpoint.
In short, inspiring and interesting
talk Mr.. Turner presented the diplo
mas to the class of four young ladies.
