FACTS, FIGURESAND FABLES FOR FANS
(BY QUIMBY MELTON.)

At best an all-star team picked by
any one at thee lose of a season is 4
wild guess. No one can tell how such
team would perform when they get
together. A team that looks good ION
paper" might look like a bunch of dubs
on the field.
But as the season for picking sucn
team has rolled around, Facts, Fig
ures and Fables is going to take time
by the forelock and pick an all-star
Empire league team.
Now, if you fans of Americas have
already made up your minds on such a
team don't get peaved if we miss your
selection in several places. It's 100
to shot that if 100 different people
were to pick such a team there would
be 100 different line-ups presented
The league has been full of first-wa-
ter pitchers. Every single one of the
teams has had a man that has attract
ed attention by his good work. If we
had to pin our faith on five slabmen,
we would pick Hartner, of Brunswick;
Roth, of Thomasville; Fillingem, OF
Cordele, and Pratt and Dacey, of Amer
icus. Such men as wild Bill'' Clarke
Winges, Wilder and Gates would also
make good additions, but then there IS
salary limit in the league
Behind the bat we would place Dice
Manchester, because of his general
good work, and Manager Dudley, of
Townsville; Bowden, Pierre and Utter
are all good men, but the first two
picked would fill the bill admirably.
Therei no doubt about it that Mitch
Davenport and Hal Griffin stand mead
and shoulders above all other first
basemen in the league. Hal has it on
Mitch in experience, but because of the
Townsville boys ability to sting the
pill, he gets the call for the place, but
at that Hal runs him close race. Hur-
ley, of valdosta, is also a good first
sacker.
Otto Jordan is the man for the key
stone. Bill kaufman and Rip Reagan
are mighty valuable men, but the
crafty old Dutchman will fill this place
to entire satisfaction.

LOVES LIGHT
4 \ \ 4 \ 4 y \ 4 4 4 =
The light of the world in human eyes
Is the light of love that hidden lies
In orbs that are real and true;
For love is the motive power of earth,
And love is the mother giving birth
To all that Is rare and new.
The light of the world is the light OF
love,
The sweetest music of heaven above,
Where the purest love is known,
And the heart that has best this lesson
learned,
That clearest has natures soul dis
cerned,
Is the nearest to heavens throne.
Then sing of love as the days go by.
The love that expands as the moments
fly,
AS. the eye reveals what the heart
would hide,
can not concealed abide:
Love softens the hardest blow.

DICK MANCHESTER is
RECALLED BY ALBANY

Dick Manchester has been recalled
by Albany. The little fellow received
a telegram from there yesterday telling
him to report Immediately. He left
last night for the village. Whether o.
not Dick will get chance to perform
with them this season remains to be
seen, but we prophesy that if he IS
given the chance they will keep a
good eye on him all the winter. Be
good, Dick, and come to see us again.

Mullin, of Brunswick; Schwartz,
of Valdosta, and Bernstein, OF
Americas are all good shortstops.
Each one of them can be depended up
on to furnish classy ball. But the lau
rels will have to go to Murphy, of the
Thomasville aggregation. Bernstein
runs him a close second, but Abe has
not been with us long enough.
Grady Bowen can have third base on
this team any time he cares to sign up.
He is heady, bats we'll, and is nothing
short of sensational in the field. If
the league officials would allow us to
carry two utility men, Bill Kuhlman
would fill the bill admirably as utility
infielder.
In the outfeld we would place Chan
cey, Hawkins, of Valdosta, and Brazier.
of Cordele. Brouthers would draw the
utility role in the outer gardens.
Now this team might not be able tc
win from Pumpkin Hollow, but any,
ways it looks good" to Ficts, Figures
and Fables.

The Macon Telegraph has the follow
ing to say of our league:
Starting May 1, the Empire State
league at once claimed recognition, ami
has held it ever since. Many records
were made during the season, showing
that the Empire was a classy organiza-
ton and here to stay. OF the six teams
that began the race May l only two
finished without changing their mani
gers. Thomasville and Cordele have
this distinction. The other members
of the league changed their managers
several times.
The longest scoreless game of the
season was played at Valdosta, Ameri-
Gus and Valdosta battling thirteen in
nings without run. The fastest game
is claimed at Cordele, although several
games were played in less than an
hour and half. Pitchers Wilder and
of the Cordele team, hav,
credit for no-hit games, both Of them
against Waycross,, while nearly all
pitchers of the league have one AMI
two hit games to their credit.

MUSICAL COMEDY WITHOUT
THE MUSIC STAGED AT PARK
Buena Vista Boys Win From Muckalees 7 10 5-Bern
stein is Knocked From the Box haDCey Catches
Behind Bat Like an Archer.

Yesterdays game with Buena Vista
was a musical comedy in nine acts,
without the music. With infielders In
the outfield outfelders in the infeld,
shortstop in the box and Home-Rur
Chancey handling the padded mitt, the
Muckalees attempted to win from the
strong Buena Vista team. The result
was the complete downfall of the To-
Gals and the winning of the game by
the visitors, Z to 3.
Mike Bernstein started in to pitch
and was knocked out of the box in two
innings The visitors registered five
runs off his delivery. Then Stewart
went in and held them down for a
while. The locals punched hits in two
innings On Perryman and managed 10
score three.
The Buena Vista team strengthened
by several league players, put up 4
good game, even after they had secur-
ed a big lead. Their fielding was fas;
in spite of the wet field, and they hit
the ball hard and ran bases like old
timers. Perryman, who pitched for
them, famed nine of the heavy-hitting
Muckalees. He worked like a good fell
low all the way and had worlds of
stuff On everything he threw across.
The only redeeming feature of the
game was the sensational work OF
Home Run Chancey behind the bat.
The little fellow played good game
and threw we'll to the bases. Chancey
formerly caught in the Sally league,
and he has lost none of his cunning.
e After the second inning the entire
team was shifted around until it look
ed something like the classy Muck2-
lees of yore. But the visiting boys hal
the game won then and there was
nothing to it for us Manager Bill
Huffman pulled off a spectacular
catch in the sixth inning. He scooped
clean hit out of the dirt and stood on
his head in the effort to make the
throw to first.
The whole Buena Vista team de-
serves special mention for their work
Houser got home run off Bernstein
and Forester and Zowen got three
bingles apiece. H. Clements at short
played jam-up ball.

The Raid on the Yosemite.

The persistent effort to despol one of the hnest
portions Of the Yosemite Park is matter OF national
concern Here is one Of the unique wonders Of the
world priceess in interest and charm. There Is
nothing in the world comparable with 1t, for there
is nothing like It: but It may fttingly be grouped
in value with the Grand Canyon. Niagara, the
Giants Causeway and the Grotto Of Capri.
Yet It is proposed to destroy 1t. not merely for
utiitarian but for actually sordid purposes II 1t
were the only possible source Of water supply for
San Francisco its use for that purpose would be
iustifable. But that is not the case. There are
other available sources, some Of them actually
nearer and more readily available than this.
The reason why they are passed by and the
Yosemite Is attacked is simply this, that the uti-
zation OF any Of them would cost something for
acquisition while It is hoped that the Hetch-hetchy,
being a public park, be grabbed for nothing,
lust as It has often been proposed to put all sorts
Of public buildings into the parks Of this city be
cause sites there would cost nothing.
1t is, moreover notorious that the Hetchhetchy
is wanted really less for potable water than for
water power for commercial purposes In order to
get free water power from which to make great
necunarv profit the advocates OF this raid upon the
Yosemite would ruin one Of the most precious natu-
raj possessions of the race. II is a scheme that
should be killed beyond resurrection.

appears that there are acceerators who can change

There is something truly Gallo in the charm ana

folks draw d sour smile and push out few growIs
when apologizng. Not His Honor.
The cases in the past are fresh in mind Unut
terable scoundres became noble watchmen OF hD-
erty worthy of a slap the back when their libel
suits were reached on the calendar. So now with
the "dunderhead captain who was supposed TO
have locked up two boys in cell. 1t appeared
later that the "dunderhead" who was about to re-
tire was away on vacation. SO the protest when
he made was plainly founded on fact HE is
nice old gentleman" promptly exclaimed the Mayor
with happy smile
We wonder If His Honor will ever live to retract
the praise he has showered upon his best or all
Police Commissioners. II he ever does and pro
ceeds to express the thoughts of his nmost soul

A PECULIAR RATE ARGUMENT
Where Rates Would BE Based on
Nothing at AL.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Recently several legal experts IN
various sections OF the country have
made peculiar argument concerning
railroad rates and rates Of other public
utilities The argument is peculiar both
in legal phraseology and in the idea ad-
vanced. The statement is made that
rates should re based on the "reproduc-
ton value less accrued depreciation
II is customary 10 have replacement
fund. which may he put out at interest
and ultimately utilized for it's legitimate
purpose. and II Is this fund that IS re-
ferred 10 as accrued depreciation lf
this. however. should equal the value OF
the property there would be nothing left
after subtracting IT from the "reproduc-
ton value" Rates in such a case would
be based on nothing at all and would be
nothing Railroads would be carrying
us free OF charge. and gas. water and
electricity would be furnished gratui-
tously No wonder officials and stock
holders do not become enthusiastic over
the idea. Thus by passing to the limit
as the mathematicisns say, the fallacy
OF the argument becomes apparent.
