Rev, Dr.. White Almost Makes
Hit in Ball Game-Chris-
tianS Win, g to Z.

Just suppose you went for a stroll
through Grant Park on a glorious
summer afternoon. suppose you
should see a couple of hundred kids
yelling at the top of their voices while
they romped over the grass covered
hillocks and scores of women and
girls taking luscious things from big
suppose you should see two silver
haired pleasant-looking old gentle
men down on their "all-fours" PUNK
ing marbleS-real ones, "agates" the
Kids call them; suppose, a little far

a dignifed looking individual, in a
light monair suit and a panama hat.
whom the bleaCheTites are cheering
on TO the tune Of Hit il out, Brother
White, you can do it,
Just suppose this much and a little
more. and you should have a pretty
fair idea of that joint picnic affair of
the Second Baptists and the First
Christians Tuesday
Never in the history of Atlanta has
there been such a Sunday school pic
nic-both in point of numbers and in
spirit
John s. Spaulding. superintendent
of the Baptist brigade, started out
long before the lemonade gave out
for tho picnickers came from all di-
rections and in such pell-mell fash
ion that even the Second Baptist eff
tiCient method Of Checking up"
proved a failure
The fun-and real, genuine, whole
some. unadulterated fTolic 1t was too
started early in the day and it last
ed long into the evening hours. when
many of the picniCking Johnnies and
Marys are usually tucked away in
their little beds.
This fun was not restricted to class
(Sunday school; nor was it restrict
ed TO size, sex or age
And just here we beg to introduce
Judge John T. Pendleton, of the Su
perior Court of Fulton County, and
DIR. r. L. COnnally. an Atlanta ply
stefan of wide reputation, who took
full advantage of the picnic to engage
in their annual game of marbles, and
Justice B. d. Evans, of the State Su-
preme Court, who refereed the game.
Whether Judge Pendleton put il
over DR.. Connally or whether the
Doctor Judged out a victory with
that long, bony thumb of his is Of
little consequence. Besides, the pho
tographer promised 20 depict he game
pretty accurately Suffice il to say il
was a cracking good game from start
to finish-one that kept the wonder
struck kids on their tiptoes till the
last big "suCkie" had been plunked
out of the ring by the Judge
Nor was this the only hit made
at the big Baptist Christian affair as
the reporter learned later when he
paid an official call at the ball game
Determined not to be outdoue by
his worthy but froliCsome deacons,
Dr. John f. White the popular pas
tor of the Second Baptist Church,
went into the game-mohair suit,
Panama and all-and almost sue
ceeded in batting out a victory for
the Baptists, but not quite, for the
final score was Christians g. Baptists :.

WOODWARD FOR
REFORM, THEN
TAX RAISE

Mayor James G. Woodward de-
cIared Wednesday that he was op-
posed to any bond issue or increase in
the tax rate until some radical re-
forms were made IN the City Council.
He said a more businessiike attitude
on the part of Council as a whole was
necessary, and that the privilege of
making this adjustment would be in
the hands Of the people at the fall
elections when four Aldermen and ten
Councilmen are to be chosen.
His statement is particularly sig
nifcant as an announcement Of the
big issue in the fall elections. The
fight will be against the faction now
in control of Council-charter re-
forms against present conditions
Also 1t is an attack on the efforts Of
a number Of officials who are trying
to provide a means of securing more
funds. A special committee of Coun-
ell is now at work to report on the
advisabtlity Of a bond issue or an in
crease of the tax rate.
Mayor Charges Waste.
Il haven't any fight to make in this
matter" said the Mayor. but the
people of this city are not going to
give the present Council any more
money.
There has been waste in the ex-
penditures of the last $4,000 900 bond
issue and of the regular taxes. Who
does NOT know Of the faulty work on
sewers and the crumbling school
houses?
Council dehed the demand Of a
mass meeting of 5000 for charter re-
forms More than $500 signed post
cards insisting on these reforms-a
greater number of voters than nomi-
mated me for Mayor. Yet Council
turned a deaf ear to them
The matter will be in the hands
of the people in the fall elections. The
new charter that Council will refer
to the people then is only new in
name, except for the tokers."
List Of Coming Elections.
Here are the members Of Council
whose successors Will be named this
fall:
Aldermen-James f. Warren, Third
Ward; J. B. Everett, Fourth Ward
F. J. Spratling, Seventh Ward. and

Anyhow, the Newark Toronto Sc
ries stands four games to three in
Newark's favor.
Jack Frill won a game after several
disastrous attempts. And he had
the honor of pitching Buffalo into
first place.
Rochester is coming into It's own
and Baltimore is coming back.
Newark has an opportunity to
climb higher within the next few
days. The Tigers are scheduled to
play tomorrow, while the other teams
are idle Aitchison should pitch.
George Truesdale. the Buffalo sec
ond sacker. is likely to be dragged
into the big show il he continues to
shine for the Bisons. Yesterday
George had triple, stole two bases
and handled i've chances at the
Keystone sack.
And as though that was not
enough he figured as a pivot in two
double plays.
Northen got only one hit-but that
hit-was a triple.
Somebody said that Shack walked
those three men in the second in
ming to get the pitcher" His dope
went wrong. Hearne singled and
broke up the game. as subsequent
developments showed.
Other teams can knock Hughes OF
the rubber, but Newark can't do IL.
Hughes was pounded out Of the game
by Baltimore, but Rochester won the
game. SO Tom escapes a defeat.
Balks are getting common in the
International League. Maybe the
peppery quality of the coaching is
responsible. Bill Clymer ratified Bran
don so that he committed this offense
at Buffalo yesterday.
With the Bisons playing on their
home lot It viii be hard task for
any team to dislodge them just at
present. Clymer's men are playing
at top speed. The Baltimore-Buffalo
series. which starts today, is going
to make or break one OF these jeans
