which Is quite a record. The majority
of the games Dent lost last year were
the result of being showed into the box
with men on the bases, after some otner
pitcher had been hammered hard.
II don't see why Manager Grifith does
not give me a chance. I told him was
a slow starter in the spring. and even
offered TO stand suspended until I was in

to take my time. Now, when I am

Dent.
Dent has been working out at the ball
park every day since the club left town.
and appears to be in splendid shape. He
has been pitching to the high school
teams for an hour or more each day a
scholastic game has been scheduled. and
never failed to put the ball over the
pan. A big fellow, Dent is able to put
plenty of stun on the ball, and also has
a fast-breaking curve.

solutely to give him a trial here. II

Eckendorf Slams Out Double with Two on in the
the Eighth Innine Giving Manual Trainers
the Game-Ochsenreiter Steals Home.
By c. W. SWAN.

When Earl Eckendorf smacked one of
Taggert's fast shoots 10 center in the
eighth inning, scoring Hanlein and Och-
senreiter, Tech won the Scholastic game
fro Central yesterday at American
League Park. The final score was to 3.
"Ecky'' put up a clever game through
OF, getting a pair of safe blows and
taking care of the two chances he had
like big Lacquer. and one was a snappy
bounder at second base, at that. Yes,
Eek is developing into a real infielder.
Taggert, who sailed 'em over for the
O-Streeters. deserved a better fate.
Lefty allowed only six hits, three of
them very scratchy, and famed no less
than eleven Ids from Mckinley High.
Taggert was given rather indifferent

pitchers ere also given poor support.
Errors played a big part in the decid-
made by either team. passes and mis-

In short although charged with three
errors. He handled eight of his eleven
chances. and connected for two iniield
hits. Ochsenreiter also stole home in the
sixth inning with a run which tied the

.sUFFRACETTEs WANT
MATRON At JAIL

Atlanta, Dec. 2.-The Atlanta suffr2-
gettes have made their first definite re-
quest of the men voters, pending the
time when they themselves hope to
vote and settle such questions. They
have asked that a matron be installed
for the Fulton county Jail.
Whether the suffragettes contem-
plate a militant campaign that will
land some of their numbers in Jail, AID
are therefore figuring on the need of a
matron, or whether the move is purely
from impersonal motives has not been
stated, but the latter is supposed to be
the case, since no signs of militancy
have yet been noted in connection with
the local suffrage campaign.

BROYLEs WOULD
GIVE GID OFFENDERS
LONGER TERMS

Atlanta. Dec. 1.-THE Car tf the At
lanta police court wants more power.
Recorder Nash R. Broyles issued a
statement this morning commenting Ga
the criticisms of the large number OF
arrests made by the Atlanta police, ami
declared that if he were given the
right to sentence habitual offenders to
Ionger terms, the number Of arrests
would be lessened.
1.-THE majority of the cases which
come up daily before this court" he
said, "are we'll known police court
characters. They come before the
court, many of them, dozen times a
year. Each case is counted separately,
and 200 or 800 habitual offenders will
in the course of year figure in more
than 1000 cases.
''The recorder is now limited in At
lanta to a thirty day sentence. In Biz
mingham and other cities, the recorder
can impose a sentence of IL months.
"As to the blame for the frivolous
arrests, that is up to the police court.
When a man has violated the law AMI
il is proven in court, am compelled .
fine him The police might use greater
Judgment in making cases, and thereby
bring about greater respect for the
law, but to obey the letter of the Law
he is often compelled to make cases
where he would rather overlook tnc
incident"

ORIGINAL CONFEDERATE
flag DESIGNED IN
MARION, ALABAMA

Montgomery, Ala, Dec. I'm view
of the controversy that has arisen as
to who was the designer of the orig
inal flag of the Confederacy, the Ad
vertiser states that Nicola Marschall, "a
chief craftsman of engineers under
Gen. Dick" Taylor, Col. Samuel II.
Lockett and Gen. Stephen D. Lee, not
only designed the original flag, but
also the gray uniform adopted by the
government of the Confederate States
of America.
The Advertiser declares that the
original designs for the flag of the
Confederacy were painted by Nicola
Marshall, in his studio in the town
Of Marion, Ala, % miles west of Selma,
in the latter part of April, or early in
May, several weeks after the opening
of hostilities.
Explaining the designing Of the
flag, Mr.. Marshall, who still is haze
and hearty at the age of "a, said
81 was at work in my stadio late one
afternoon when Mrs. Napoleon Locket
entered. She said: Mr.. Marschall,
the South has seeded, and we. want
you to paint flag for u.s. took up g
card and my materials, and in about
fifteen or twenty minutes dashed OF
three designs for flag. While / was
engaged with the task, Mrs. Lockett
stood by and made few suggestions.
When / gave her the card, with the
three designs in colors, and she turned
t. go, was just on the point of turn
ing back to my other work, when sha
stopped on the threshold. oh, yes she
said, we also want you to design a
uniform l realized at once thai this
would have to be worked out carefully
and painting the human figure, too,
would take time. The following day
gave her the designs for the gray
uniform"
The Mrs. Lockett referred to by the
venerable artist was the mother of
Col. Samuel H. Lockett.
The designs for the flag and the uni
form, according to Mr.. Marschall, were
taken by Mrs. Lockett to Gov. Moore,
who in turn submitted them to the i'm
spection OF several men prominent n
the South at the time Of the secession.
He does not know who these men were,
or whether the wishes of Jefferson Da-
Wis were considered when a choice
among the three designs was made.
