g PEAKING of umpires. Bill Smith
- got a frenzied appeal for judgment
from GAINESVILLE, Ga. yesterday
There had been an alleged ball
game in that vicinity. and the whole
works had split up over a question of
parliamentary law and the baseball
code. This is it:
A batsman, having been given his
base on balls, was strolling leisurely
in that direction and had not reached
1t when the succeeding batsman took
his place at the plate. The pitcher
was in position, and suddenly took it
into his head to make a play on the
gent travelling slowly toward first. He
did this.
Now, can that man be put out
before reaching first base2" is the
frantic query.
For answer, our personal opinion
would be as follows;
Help"
But nobody showed the problem our
way. It's Bits debate.
HERE'S some more about that new
L draft ruling on which the Glass A
leagues are kicking:
President Galloway. of the Crack
ers, has a reply to his recent letter
to Judge Kavanaugh. president of the
Southern League, in which the judge
sustains Mr. Callaway's contentious

intention 10 go to the mat with the

matter, except when authorized by

Also the judge says:

And the judge is ready TO stand by
that to the finish.

BLEASE ON HIS NATIVE HEATH.
Abuses His Enemies With Char
acterisfic Virulence.

Whitmire, May 20: - Governor
Blease arrived here about o'clock
from Newberry. and after consider
able hand-shaking addressed the
crowd which had assembled in the
public square to hear him. He be-
gan his talk about 2::30 o'clock. His
speech touched on many subjects,
and it was to a large extent of a
personal nature. Shortly after he
began to speak of matters particu-
larly of interest to Whitmire, MIR
William Coleman. president of the
Glenn Lowry Manufacturing COM
pany, rode up, and in few minutes
after his arrival Governor Blease,
singing Mr. Coleman out, stated to
the audience that he wanted to ex-
plain why Mr. Coleman hated him.
Mr. Coleman Immediately stood up
in his buggy and. interrupting the
Governor, told him that he did not
hate him, and that he wanted an ex-
planation as to why he accused him
of hatred. Governor Blease said that
any man who would oppose motion
in his behalf at a club meeting was
his enemy, and that MIR Coleman had
done this. Mr. Coleman stated that
such was not the case, as this could
be easily proved, for a great many
present were members of the club,
and he was sure no one would state
to the contrary. Governor Blease
then brought up another matter,
which Mr. Colemandenied, ,and begged
to be heard. The Governor refused
absolutely to entertain any expla-
nation whatever,> whereupon Mr.
Coleman told him to go to hell and
drove away.
After the above incident the
speech was mainly a criticism of in
dividuals who were not after the
Governors liking. The Governor
and his friends who accompanied
him here left in automobiles about
7 o'clock for Newberry.
