Love i'm Idleness.

On the veranda of the seaside
clearinghouse at which they were
spending their holidays sat Vivian and
Vera. They had not known each
other a fortnight ago, and now-oh,
rapture!-they we're engaged.
The moon shown down on the
shimmering ocean before them, but
fortunately the roof of the veranda
afforded a pleasant gloom. They did
not speak. Their hearts were too
full for words, and they had only just
had dinner.
Presently it occurred to him that he
ought to say something-something
fitting to the occasion. But she got In
first.
Dearest" murmured Vera. "Just
think 1t is only "a little hours since
we plighted our troth!"
Vivian kicked himself. Why hadn
he said that? Then he got brain
wave.
"And yet, darling" he whispered
TO me it seems but yesterday"

aoId Mine Under His Feet.

George Sharp, a miner Of Pedro
Creek, Alaska, lived over a fortune
over nine years before he knew that
the fortune existed.
Sharp, when he first came to the
Fairbanks district, located claim on
the right limit OF Pedro creek, OPP
posite No. 2, and prospected for gold
on the claim at different times ever
since.
He spent most OF his time search
ing for the yellow stuff on his other
holdings, apparently neglectful Of the
possibilities right under the floor OF
his cabin. "a few weeks ago Sharp
sank a shaft near his cabin, got some
prospects and then tunneled On bed
rock for ten feet or SO.
He encountered coarse gold, some
fair-sized nuggets being included In
the dust obtained after sluicing 2
small dump.

Married Men Live Long.

Dr.. Hans Curadze, the German sta
tistical expert has discovered a new
barrier" between men and women
After studying the statistics of deaths
and marriages he declares: IF men
want to enjoy long life they should
marry; if women want to grow to a
good old age they should remain spin
sters''
He admits that his conclusions can
be established with greater certainty
when the city of Berlin publishes it's
proposed statistical tables of widows,
widowers, divorced persons and per
sons who secured separations at vari-
GUS ages, but he says that tables al
ready available show that married
women die sooner than the unmarried,
whereas married men live longest
Statistics show that the fatal age for
all males, married and unmarried, Is
about forty-four, whereas for the mar
red men it lies between fifty-five and
sixty.
The fatal age for all women is about
fifty, ten years, more for unmarried
women and nearly ten years less for
married.
Thus. If Doctor Curadze's statistics
are to be believed, the woman who re-
mains single may expect 20 years
more Of life than her married sister.
Marriages dissolved BY the death Of
the wife last, on an average, ten to fir
teen years, those dissolved by the hus-
hands death usually last 20 to %
years.
According to this the number Of
widowers in the average community
is always considerably in excess of the
number OF widows This Is only one
of the interesting questions which will
be answered by the elaborate statistics
now being collected in Berlin.

FACTS AND FIGURES

Last year President Grower of the
Empire State league made a ruling
similar to the one handed down by
President l. ]. Kalmon yesterday when
he threw out the game won by Cordele
from Americas yesterday 4 to 3.
Grower prevented Wassem from play
ing with Waycross after he had been
released by the Cordele club. The
rules of the league clearly state that
a player cannot be transferred from
one club to another within 80 days of
the end of the season without the COZ
sent of ALL the clubs. Cordele was
advised that Mccoy was not eligible to
play with Cordele, as they had not yet
gained the consent of ALL the clubs.
Both Reagan and President Bartholo-
new were notified that to play Mccoy
would be a violation of the rules OF
the league and they played Mccoy at
their own risk
For the edifcation of the Cordele
fans we might state that President
Kalmon refused to allow Winges to
join the Americas club several days
ago on the grounds that ONE club
in the league objected Hard luck,
Cordele. BUT THE RULES WE'RE
MADE TO BE OBEYED.
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1914-08-11

But the day before he published the
above he put the following across
on the Pilot fans:
While Americas has a good lead,
the old rag is not cinched yet. The
Muckalees have two more games with
Cordele and two with Brunswick, and
these two series may prove disastrous.
You just never can tell.

Cordele, Ca, Aug. 10.-(Special)-
In one of the most exciting pitchers
battles ever witnessed on the local
diamond this season, Cordele took the
first game of the series from Americas
here this afternoon by the score of 4
to 8. The score was tied by Cordeie
in the seventh and remained so until
the tenth when hit by Bankston and
another by Eubanks and the tumble
of a grounded knocked by Dacey to
Geary, made it two more runs. Carl
Eubanks, the best catcher in the
Georgia State, got four hits out Of five
times up, and Bankston, who leads
the league with home runs, also fea-
tured with long running one-handed
stab. The game was very interesting
all the way through. The box score:

Yesterday game between the Babies
and the Muckalees which Cordele won
4 to 8 in the tenth inning, has been
thrown out by President Kalmon. Cor
dele insisted on playing Mccoy after
they had been informed by Mr.. Kali
mon that he was ineligible to play on
any club, except Waycross.
The playing of Mccoy was a VIOLA
ton of rule 8, sec. ) of the constitution
OF the Georgia State league, which
reads: "No played may be transferred
from one club to another within thirty
days Of the close of the season with
out the consent of ALL the clubs in
the league" Mccoy was played, even
though Americas, one of the six clubs
in the league, a. we'll as another clu
objected.
So yesterdays game is lost to the
Babies. Their standing is unchanged.
President Kalmon made his ruling
promptly yesterday, instead of waiting
five days, the maximum time limit for
making decisions, in order that don
ble-header could be played today if
the two managers were willing Nc
Coy will not be in todays game, as
the umpire has been informed that he
is not eligible and has been given au-
thority to keep him out of the game.
In an interview with President Kali
mon about the game being thrown oat
he stated: Manager Reagan of the
Cordele club was notified by wire Fri
day night, 18th inst, that this player,

STANDING OF CLUBS
Georgia State League.

Errors cost Americas a pretty pitch
ers' battle yesterday. One after an
other each of the five boobies the
Muckalees cut loose figured in the
game which Cordele finally won 4 to
3 in the tenth. But Cordele made one
error that was more costly than all
five the Muckalees made. They played
Mccoy
While playing Mccoy in itself is not
a crime, still Cordele violated rule
of the league and played the man af-
ter the president had informed them
that he was ineligible to play on any
club but Waycross. That error cost
them the game as Manager Castor
was long-headed enough to protest the
game.
A double header may be played to-
day. On going to press last night the
two managers had not yet agreed on
the double bill.
Here is the report from Cordele af
the game, as the Cordele scribe saw
it:

The Valdosta paper throws the fol-

to hear him open up with his Don't

Suppose team had eight men with
as much life as Van has. 1t would
be some ball team. They would talk
the opposition out of many a game
and they would be the hardest team
in the world to beat The fans would
go wild over team of that kind. If
one thing brings applause from base
ball fans more than anything else it is
for their team to have plenty of life. 1t

Mccoy, was not eligible to play on
his club, and when l read in Sundays
papers he had played anyway, had
Secretary Melton notify President Bar
tholomew, of Cordele, that this man
was not eligible to play on his club.
Today, 10th inst, Manager Reagan
telephoned me he did not think the
rules of the league read as I thought
and asked me to read them over
again and advise President Barthol-
omew my decision, after investigating
the matter. l wired him that this man
was not eligible, because Article 8,
Section of this leagues bylaws
adopted when the league was founded
two years ago, states No club shall
dispose of a player to any other club
in this league within period of thirty
days prior to the close of the current
playing season without the consent Of
ALL clubs, etc. AS Player Mccoy was
only released by the Waycross club on
the 8th inst, and signed by the Cor
dele club the same day there was moth
ing for me to do but order the game
thrown out, but as the Americas club
is there tomorrow 1 wished to give the
Cordele club the privilege of playing
it over by having double header. The
Cordele club must be fully aware that
this rule is in our constitution and by
laws, as last season when they releas-
ed Player Wassem he signed with
Waycross and President Grower very
promptly refused to allow him to play"

Editor Leavy has just about sized us
up right:
The season is rapidly drawing to
a close and Americas is well in the
