TROLLEY LEAGUE
SEASON OPENING
IS NEAR AT HAND

Everything is now in readiness for
the curtain to rise on the opening of
the Trolley League season. Augusta
will play it's first game Wednesday,
June II, with the Winthrop team at
Winthrop. Winthrop has had it's team
together for the past month and has
not only been practicing hard but has
played a number of games. The way
Buckland is going it looks as though
he would keep some of the batters of
the league guessing to connect many
times with his offerings. He has been
pitching remarkable ball from the
start and if he keeps up his two
hit" games he looks dangerous. But
then, say the dopsters, the best of EN-
go wrong, and Buck is as apt to have
his off days as the rest of the pitchers
do. Augusta is practically ready to
play the game any minute. With the
exception of just who will play the
outfield, the team that will go up
against Winthrop has practically been
decided upon, although there may be
changes.

Charlie Doom said Tuesday that he
is too busy with his ball club to heed
Mike Doolan's talk about him. He
blames Business Manager Bill Nc
Cullough of the Pittsburgh Federals
for a lot of the things DoOlan is say
ing. Reports from Pittsburg had quo
ted Doolan as saying that Doom was
four flushing as manager and that
he would be out of a job by July 4th.
1.-THE trouble with Doolan and some
of them is that they. are not used to
playing before 300 people a day, and
they are getting peevish.

Sir Archibald Geikie, the famous
classical and theological scholar and
geologist, has celebrated his seventy
eighth birthday shortly after retiring
from the highest office which an Eng
lish scientist can hold-the presidency
of the Royal society. In 1911 he was
president of the classical association
and has been president of the Geo
graphical Society and British associa-
ton. The position he has attained
of first rank authority in the worlds
of both science and letters is almost
unique, and is the fruit of an extra
ordinary intelligence and scholarship.
OF Scotch origin, he was originally in
tended for a career In a bank, and
served for a short time in that BUSH
ness But nature called him, and
while he was still boy he wrote ar
ticles on the geology of Arran for
newspaper. This led to his being
appointed to the geological survey OF
the United Kingdom, and this was the
beginning of his career.

1t is not betrayal of confidence or
state secrets to recite that Jim Kelly
has been in a highly nervous state
owing to his hard luck in hitting. He
worried over it. During the last game
in Pittsburgh he was thrown out at
first and as the sides were changed
he remarked to Wagner: You would
think a man would scratch hit
through occasionally. hitting them so
often, don't you Think" Wagner put
his arm around the lads shoulder
and as they reached second base he
said: Don't let that worry you, old
boy l went through II games at one
stretch without getting a hit. Honus
went Baron Munchausen one better
in telling that stuff to Kelly, but his
object was to encourage a young ball
player. In his last two games Kelly
has hit two singles, two doubles, a
triple and a home run, and has driven
in FIVE runs, besides scoring three him
self.

Burton Indicates Minority Will
Support Move to Repeal the
Adamson Act.

PHILADELPHIA. Feb. 10.-That
Republican Senators will assist Pres
ident Wilson in his campaign To pre-
vent discrimination in favor of Amer
lean shipping passing through the
Panama Canal was the general belief
here to-day as a result Of speech
made by Theodore e. Burton, Of Ohio,
last night. Addressing the peace and
arbitration meeting of the American
Peace Society, the Senator said
AN unfavorable impression has
been created by our attitude upon the
Panama Canal The preference given
to our cosstwise shipping in relieving
1t from the payment of tolls when
passing through the canal is directly
contrary TO our traditional policy,
which has been one of insistence upon
the navigation of all channels"

Wilson and Sims Confer
On Repeating Act.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 1O.--The Pan
anna Canal tolls question was dis
cussed at a conference to day between
President Wilson.and Representative
Sims of Tennessee. The latter is a
member of the House Committee on
Interoceanlc Canals. 1t is said that
plans are now being made for putting
into action the proper legislative ma
chinery for repeating the Adamson act
providing for the exemption of Amer
lean coastwise shipping from the pay
ment of tolls. A definite announce
ment as to the procedure is expected
shortly.
Enough Senate Democrats are OPP
posed TO President Wilson's plan to
repeal the tolls provision, however. to
threaten the Presidents control over
that body. The minority is generally
opposed TO the Presidents view This
situation is the basis of the prediction
that the Democrats will caucus on the
questiaon and attempt to bind recall
citrant members by such action.

Special Gable to The Atlanta Georgian.
TOXIC, Feb. 10.-In the midst OF
Uproar and clamor Parliament day
voted down a resolution of no conf
6ence in the Government by 205 to
1863. The vote came at the end of a
bitter debate, during which number
of fist fights occurred. The violence
reached such pitch that it looked
as though soldiers would have to clear
the halls
The opponents of the Government
during debate on the resolution, at
tackled the policy Ct the Foreign De-
partment in DEALING with the United
States over the California anti-alien
land law.
During the melee Mr.. Ito, leader OF
the Nationalist forces opposing the
Government was struck upon the
head and was carried unconscious

An excited crowd of $4,000 persons,
held in check by troops, lined the
neighboring street waiting eagerly for
the result of the vote.
When the result of the vote was an
nounced the crowds began an anti
Government demonstration and made
an attempt to break down the in
closures and storm Parliament Build
ing.
Troops were hastily called to re-
inforce the police on duty and the
mobs were repeatedly charged while
the police used their clubs without
mercy.
Instead of being checked by the
display of military force, the disturb
ances gained in violence until it was
feared that rioting would continue
throughout the night. Much damage
was done to property around Parlia-
ment Building.
