MURPHY CAN MAKE
MONEY WITH EASE
Hugh Fullerton Says c. Webb
Can Coin Cash at ANY Time
He Wishes as His Luck is
Enough to Make Dame For
tune Look Sick.
BY HUGH 5. FULLERTON.

c. Webb Murphy. former president
of the Chicago cubs, is hard to stop.
Since his retirement he has found that
il is harder work to loaf than to run
a ball club.
He has invented an automatic de-
vice which attaches to the rear OF
automobiles and signals the machines
following it which way the driver in
tends to turn, or whether he lntends
TO stop or slow down.
He thinks there is more money in
il than there was in baseball Know
ing Murph's luck we believe IT, He
could start a department store in the
middle of the Sahara desert, advertise
a bargain sale of fur overcoats, and
it would turn cold I'd the Bedouins
would buy the lot beAore noon.
If they haven't plowed up the old
White SoX park in Chicago there
still is a trail from center field to the
exit, via the home plate, and that was
worn by Fielder Jones when he was
manager. Federal league jumps are
notified that he probably will wear
another on their park. Jones had a
habit of running in from center field
to the pitchers. and not infrecuently
to make Inquiries OF the umpires.
1t grew TO be a custom of the Amer
lean league umpires to permit Jones
TO run in as far as the slab and then
motion toward the stands and yell:
Just keep on going" And usually
Jones departed after stopping TO speak
his mind at the plate. The path
through the grass grew so we'll mark
ed that it was visible from the stands
and was known as Jones route among
the rooters
Jack Hendricks, Indianapolis man
ager, has a yarn showing how obsessed
in their business ball players become.
one of his players was reading about
the struggle at Liege.
Say" ne asked suddenly, what
league is this they're fighting so in?"
Which recalls the 1amented Tim
Donohue, the famous old catcher. one
day the Chicago team was riding east
ward and Tim picked up a paper and
glanced casually at the first page be-
fore looking for his batting average.
Holy Mackerel." he exclaimed,
did you see this?''
No, what?" inquired Jimmy Ryan.
Why" exclaimed Tim, they've got
Barney Dreyfuss out on an island
somewhere in the middle of the
ocean"
He showed them the paper telling
of the exile of Capt. Dreyfuss.
Inc most recent row III the teueral
league raises an interesting point in
baseball. The score was l to in
favor of Baltimore in the eighth in
ming. Chicago had a runner on first
base, with Zwilling at the bat Pitcher
Bailey of Baltimore was given a new
ball.
Violating the rules he sOiled the ball
and Umpire Van Sickle held up his
hand, calling time and ordering the
ball thrown to him. Instead of obey
ing Bailey pitched and Zwilling hit
home run. Umpire Van Sickle refused
to allow the hit and sent the runners
back causing a riot lasting almost
half an hour. Van Sickle was right.
He was forced by the rules to pen
aliZe Chicago because Baltimore vio-
lated the rules In pitching ball that
was out of play.

FARMER 4 BUSINESS
MAN THANKS To
RURAL PHONES

Atlanta, May 3O.-Rural telephones
are beginning to play just as import
ant if not a more important part thai
either rural free delivery or parcels
post, in putting the farmer on an econ
omic equality with the city business
man.
The growth of rural telephones or
the lines of the Southern Bell through
out Georgia and other Southern states
is as interesting as a romance A gen
Grafton ago the average farmer was
isolated. Today he is no more isolated
than his city neighbors.
1t is directly as the result Of these
facilities that the average Southern
farmer has developed into compe-
tent business man, a salesman of hia
own products, as well as a producer
of them.
The day has passed forever when
the farmer laborously loads his crops
on wagons and takes them to thc
county seat and then either sells
them or not at prices which may OF
may not be below normal. Today the
farmer with a telephone uses the wire1
to two or three towns before deciding
where he will market his wares, anc
often makes the actual sales over the
wires before he even starts to load his
wagons.

WALLIS NAMED
RECEIVER FOR
Savings BANK
OFFSPRING OF NATION'L BANK
His Appointment is Made
Yesterday

Judge 2. A. Littlejohn at a late
hour yesterday appointed Mr.. W. P
Wallis receiver for the Americus Trust
& Savings Bank, an offspring of the
defunct Americas National, and, prior
to the closing of that bank operated
by the same officers. The little saving
bank was organized under a state
charter, and had capital stock of
$4,000.
It's deposit account, at the time CT
the closing of the national bank, was
said to be about $4,000. Its assets
at this time are thought to be rather
small. Just what depositors will re-
ceive in the liquidation of the bank is
of course, largely a matter of con-
lecture.
About two weeks ago, Attorney Gen.
eral Warren Grice came to Americus
to see about the appointment of re-
ceiver for the little state bank, and
proposed the appointment OF MIR. L. G.
Council to that position. Mr.. Council
however, found it inexpedienct to ac-
cept the position and so notified Judge
Littlejohn, who has since named Mr.
Wallis as the receiver instead.
The exact status of the banks con
dition will not be known until Re-
ceiyer Wallis has gone fully into its
financial affairs. A number of its de-
positors, it is understood, we're women
and children.

REESE PARK CLUB
TO HOLD FESTIVAL

The Reese Park Civic Improvement
club will hold an old fashioned ice
cream festival Monday night from 1880
to 8 clock to raise funds for the inl-
provement of the pretty little park in
front of the High school. The ladies
who compose the club are anxious to
make Reese park the beauty spot Of
Americus. The improvements that the
club are planning to make include Il
tennis court, croquet grounds and n
sand sea" for the kiddies of the
neighborhood to play in. The whole
block will be cleaned up and benches
placed among the trees that are plen-
tiful in the park.
The festival Monday night will be the
first of a series of entertainments the
club will conduct to raise funds for the
work at the park. The park is well
located and spacious and a small
amount of work will make it brag
park for the city.

AMERICUS SHOULD INVITE
PARTY OF SAVANNAHIANS
En- Route From That City to
Columbus

While Americus has not been in
cluded in the itinerary of the Savannah
motorists who, with fifty machines
will make a ross-the-state tour from
that city to Columbus two weeks
hence, the fact may be attributed t.
oversight rather than to any deliber-
ate purpose upon part of the Chatham
ties to ride around the largest city and
the best good roads system on the en-
tire route. The itinerary includes
Cordele, Vienna and Montezuma, to
Oglethorpe and thence to Ellaville and
Buena Vista. 1t would be but short
detour, after leaving Oglethorpe, Il
come direct to Americus and thence IL
Ellaville and Buena Vista. Savannah
ians, perhaps, are not familiar with the
geogrophy of this portion of Georgia
and if assured that Americus is on the
map they would doubtless be pleased
to come this way, where a cordial wei
come would be given them.

HOSPITAL READY,
FORMAL OPENING
TO Be OCCUPIED THIS Week
Some FOrmaIity to Mark The
Opening Date

Completed and ready for the great
work of humanity for which it stands,
the Americus and Sumter County Hos
pital will open its doors this week to
sick and suffering humanity and extend
to all such a welcome there. The an
nouncement was made yesterday that
the new building would be put in
readiness within day or two, and that
some simple formality would mark the
opening date, planned for some after
noon or evening later in the current
week.
The ladies of the Americus Hospital
association are, indeed, to be congrat-
ulated upon the successful accomplish
ment of their great work in having
thus reared to the community and to
themselves this splendid and endu.-
ing monument
The new hospital will be capable of
taking care of any number of pa
tents it may be called upon to shelte,'.
The beautiful building of brick and
stone cost, completed, about $4,000,
and no Indebtedness remains upon it.
imbued with faith in their ability to
accomplish this end, the ladies have
erected this handsome building and
paid the cost.
Only one or two patients, SO far as
known now, will be transferred from
the old hospital to the new building,
but several surgical operations are
awaiting, and new patients will enter
there Immediately.
An entire change has been made in
the active management of the hospital
and an entirely new corps of nurses
will be in charge under the superin-
tendency of Miss Won Der Au, of At
lanta, who, With two girls in training,
arrived yesterday. Miss Breeden, the
very capable and popular superintend-
ent during several years, will remain
with the new management for a short
while. The fact that she is to sever
her connection there is generally re-
GREETED.
Miss Breeder together with Miss
Ridgeway and other ladies constitut-
ing the former hospital staff, will re-
main in Americus, at least for the pres
ent, where their services will be fully
appreciated.
