HOLDS CATCHING RECORD.
Agnew of Browns Went Through Sea-
son Without Passed Ball.

Agnew. the st. Louis Browns re
cruit backstop. is probably the only
catcher in the United States who
caught a hundred or more games last
year without having a passed ball
charged to his record.
Agnew caught for Vernon, Cal, in
the Pacific Coast league last year. He
caught hundred games and he had
no passed balls. In the American
league official records of passed balls
were not published, but in the National
league there was not one backstop who
did not have at least one.
The American association. like Bans
circuit, failed to publish a record of
passed balls, but in the Eastern league
there was one man who escaped the
passed ball charge, He is Curtis. who
caught for Montreal, Toronto and Jer
sey City. Curtis participated in only
thirty eight games.

PITCHER WlLLETT HAS ADJ
VANcED IDEA ON SHORT
ENING GAMES.

Edgar WiIlett, the Detroit
pitcher. has advanced an idea
as to a method Of shortening
baseball games, though it is not
original with him.
Edgar caught the idea while
watching Sam Crawford amble
around the bases after smashing
the ball into the bleachers for a
home run.
why not permit Crawford to
run to first and then return to
the bench instead of consuming
a minute or so walking about the
sacks" says Edgar.
There are, we'll say. fifty
home runs hit in the American
league each season. That means
an hour wasted. Every one
knows the hit. is a home run
when it drops into the bleachers
or goes over the fence. so what's
the use of wasting time and eff
fort?'

Atlanta Saloons
Face A Fight

Atlanta, Nov. 4,-Three sepa-
rate and distinct happenings OF
the past few days seem to point
out that the locker clubs and
near beer saloons of Atlanta will
be the center of a big fight this
winter.
The grand jury has been invit-
ed by Judge Ben Hill, now of the
superior court, to look into the
whiskey evil in it's relation to
locker clubs.
The Evangelical Ministers as
ISOLATION has called public mass
meeting for next Sunday after
noon when the prohibitionists of
Atlanta will be called on to rise
up in arms and wipe out both
the saloons and the locker clubs.
The Executive Board of the
Men and Religion Foreward
movement has announced its In
tention, through bulletins, of
fighting the saloons, the whiskey-
selling locker clubs and the
breweries.
All three of these things have
happened within the past few
days, and each is developing
along separate lines. The point
all are making, or rather the two
points they are making, are first
that the near beer saloons are
real beer saloons and don't even
make a pretense of selling any
thing but regular beer, and
second, that a majority of the
locker clubs in Atlanta could not
exist if it werenot for the money
they made in selling whiskey to
their members.

FrOst's Magazine
After Hearst.

Atlanta, Ga. Nov. 4.-Frost's
Magazine, "The Call of the
South" has crossed swords with
Hearst's Sunday American in a
journalistic polemic more heated
than anything the Georgia public
has been treated to in recent
years.
The denunciation Of M r {.
Hearst's methods is fiery and
scathing. Mr.. Frost's magazine
says in part:
William Randolph Hearst is
disgracing the word America. ,
No more filth could possibly be
Haunted in the slums of London
and the vice dens of Paris than
Hearst's Sunday magazine Sec
ton pushes insultingly into the
face of a respectable public each
Sunday morning.
"The first page of this false
crudity OH September 18th was a
sheet indecent in a brothel. VIM.
R. Hearst here parades one Sem
as a famous French satirist.' #
he were famous America would
know of him, but this is the first
mention America has seen of
such person. If he were a real
satirist he would not be vulgar.
Atlanta, Marietta, Griffin,
Macon, Milledgeville, Gainesville,
every town in the state of Geor-
gia and adjacent states will sus-
tain Chief Of Police Beavers in
his vice war. If we kill vice we
must not allow vice to be fed.
We should hush up the editors of
dailies which commend vulgarity
as art. )"

PENDANTS in injunction proceedings
brought by the Law Enforcement
League. The petitions for in1unc-
ton with the temporary restrain
ing order granted by Judge
Mathews, of the Bibb Superior
Court, are in the possession Of
Sheriff Hicks, and are now being
served
When the Sheriff finishes serv-
ing the injunctions and contempt
rules secured today in the SUPERB
or Court by the Law Enforcement
League, there will not be an open
saloon in Macon. In fact there will
be only four places where drinks
may be obtained-the Elks, Owls,
Eagle and Cherokee Clubs-aAd
each of these requires member
ship cards.
Supplementing the 43 iniunc-
tions previously obtained the Law
Enforcement League today filed
petitions for "a more, and also
brought to the attention of the
court information that twelve of
the saloonmen recently enjoined
from selling intoxicating liquors
had sold whiskey during the last
two weeks. The whisky was pro-
duced as evidence. Judge Math-
ews issued contempt rules against
these twelve men, who will pro-
badly 60 to jail, as notice was
given by the Judge six weeks ago
that this would he the penalty of
all who violated the terms of the
injunction. Their cases are set
for hearing on November Is.
Orders closing each of the "a
saloons enjoined today until the
date for the hearing of their re-
spective cases were granted by
Judge Mathews. Many of the
saloon proprietors have. not waited
to be served with the injunctions
or contempt rules, but have clos
ed their places and nailed up the
doors.
The Grand jury organized today
and was charged by Judge
Mathews to return indictments
against those saloonmen who have
been enjoined and who have been
shown to be guilty of selling liquor.
1t is expected that the officers OF
the Law Enforcement League
will be called upon by the Grand
Jury for evidence of whisky .sales
against the saloon and clubs.
