Locals Piled up rs Runs to
5 by OpeIika

While Auburn was putting a brown
fricassee on the Mercerians here yes
terday, Americus was slaughtering the
Opelika hopefuls on Alabama territory
According to the most authentic re-
ports, the final score of the game
was 28 to 8, though several runs may
have gotten lost in the shuttle and dis
regarded.
Local fans were treated to a joke
when some wag hung up scores on
the board for Opelika and row Of
goose eggs for the Muckalees. This
was before the authentic reports of
the game began coming in. 1t was soon
seen that Americus had a cinch in
landing the last game of the series.
Manager Weber's men will get back
to Americus today and rest up in pro-
paration for another few days of siren
uous practice. Two practice games q
Gay will be played as usual. The team

DEATH CLAIMED
MRS. WORTHY
On SATURDAY
WOMAN MUCH BELOVED here
The End Followed Illness of
Long Duration

In the death of Mrs w. B. Worthy,
which occurred shortly after o'clock
Saturday afternoon, one of Americus'
bLst known and most beloved women
has passed away. In view of her crit
zeal illness during the past few days,
the death Of Mrs Worthy was not un-
expected, though none the less de-
+ lored among her many friends here.
Mrs. Worthy's health had been i'm
paired for several months, but not un-
I'll within the past week had her con-
dition become such as to cause appre-
hension. Since Friday last she de-
clined gradually until the summons
came Saturday afternoon.
During her long residence in Ameri-
Gus, Mrs. Worthy had by her many
lovable traits of character, won the
love and esteem of many very sincere
friends. In her church work and in
her home life she was ever the true
and admirable woman, and her death
is loss to the entire community
Mrs. Worthy was the only daughter
of Mrs. G. P. Sans, of Americus, who,
with the bereaved husband and four
sons and daughters, Misses Caroline
and Nellie; Benjamin and Kinche1
Worthy, and brother, Mr.. R. F. Sans,
of Atlanta, mourn her taking away.
Pending the expected arrival of
members of the family today, arrange
ments for the funeral services had not
been completed last night. 1t was stat
ed, however, that the hour of the fun
eral would be announced this morning
in the several churches of the city.

Skies that dawned threatening and
gloomy yesterday, with chill wind
out of the northwest and light showers
at intervals during the morning, finally
cleared before the time for the Me-
mortal Day exercises in the afternoon.
affording the people of Americus a
beautiful day for honoring the memory
of the heroes of the Confederate cause.
The exercises were held at the audi
torium of the High school, and the in
teresting program announced yester-
day morning was carried out in its en-
tirety, including the Grafton, the sing
ing of patriotic songs, an invocation
and later, the decoration of the sev~
eral hundred graves in Oakgroye Gem
-etery.
At the appointed hour, 4 o'clock, the
impressive exercises were begun with
the hymn, How Firm Foundation" !"

GEORGIAN KNIGHTS TENPLAR
At Approaching Meeting in
Columbus

Knights of DeMolay Commandery OF
Americus are particularly interested
in the forthcoming annual conclave OF
the Grand Commandery of Georgia,
Knights Templar, from the fact that
Sir knight A. G. Miller, of DeMolav
No. 5, will at that time be honored
with election to the office of Grand
Commander of the Grand Command
cry of the state of Georgia. The state
commandery assemblies in Columbus
on May 14th and 18th, and Americus

interesting session.
Although at present resident of
Waycross where he holds the position
of superintendent of schools, Mr. Mil
Ter retains his membership in DeMo-
lay conmmandery, No 5. of which he
was formerly eminent commander, and
it will be an honor to the Americus
commandery to have one of it's men,
bers chosen to the high office of state
commander
Mr.. Miller has also been an officer
of the grand commandery of the state
for several years, and at present holds
the position of deputy grand comman-
der.
The knights of st. Aldemar COM
mandery and citizens of Columbus are
preparing to entertain the state Grand
Commandery in May, and the attend
ance, it is expected will be the larg-
est in several years. Many social en-
tertainments at the clubs will mark
the two days session there. Ameri-
Gus will be well represented, and it
| is by no means improbable that the
Grand Commandery may vote to hold
its next annual conclave in this city.

Completely outclassing the Mecer
ians in all departments of the game,
the fast Auburn nine yesterday took
two straights from the Mercerians,
which added to the victory of the day
before made a clean sweep of the Sc
ries for the Alabama team.
MERGERS crippled team was no match
for the Auburnites who had little diff
Guilty in landing all three games of the
series Auburns fielding, hitting and
base running was tip-top and consist
ent Mercer showed remarkable form
at times, but the Baptists also devel-
oped a tendency to throw the ball
away at critical moments. An even
larger crowd saw the afternoon game
than that which was present in the
morning.
Locke and Williams opened up for
Auburn in the box and behind the bat
in the afternoon game. The southpaw
was found later in the game by the
Mercerians, who almost landed the
game by timely and consistent hitting.
He was replaced by Driver, who held
the Mercerians safe
Roddenbery was on the mound for
Mercer and did effective work for sew
en- innings. With the bases full he
was replaced by Hunt who held the
Auburnites down very we'll till the
close of the game. Roddenbery's arm
failed him, and he left the game when
be went out of the box.
Auburn began the run-getting in the
second, when errors by the Baptists al.
lowed two runners to score. In the
third Auburn scored two runs again.
MERGERS first tally was in the fifth,
when one run was scored In the sixth
Mercer scored twice and in the sew
enth. Auburn landed one more run
in the seventh and three in the eighth
GavaraI times tho Meroarians had an
opportunity to win the game, but they
could not hit the ball Both Of yes
terday's games, especially the morn
ing game, was characterized by the
desperate base-running of the Baptists,
who failed to get the hits when needed
and took all chances on the paths.
The box score of the afternoon game
was as follows:

There were no smiles from the
weather yesterday morning when the
Mercer and Auburn teams faced each
other for the second game of the sa-
ries. 1t was cold enough for over
coats, with dash of light showers
scurrying over the diamond at inter-
Gals while the playing was in pro-
gress.
The game opened with Davis on the
mound for Auburn and Williams re-
ceiving. Mercer's battery was Forres-
ter and Rice. Both teams played ais
tight ball until the fourth inning, whea
the run-getting began. Mercer and Au-
burn each scored a run in the fourth.
In the fifth, however, the fire.
works broke loose After timely hit
or two from the Auburnites, the Mee
cerians began an aeroplane excursion.
which did not end until five runs had
been chalked up by the Auburn play
ers. 1t was merry-go-round for
the Auburnites, while the Mercer play
ers We'd with each other in throwing
the ball away. Very few of Auburn's
runs were earned. There was no need
of it, The Mercerians handed 'em to
the Alabamians on a silver platter.
The fifth inning might have fadei
out of memory more easily had not the
Mercerians sprung the same stunt ii
the error line in the sixth Again they
commenced pegging the ball about m
discriminatory at critical moments,
while the Auburn team proceeded to do
tangos, bunny hugs, turket trots and
marathons around the bases. The net
gains for Auburn this inning amounted
to four runs, which was plenty, for
any we'll behaved baseball team. They
stopped then and didn't get any more
during that game.
