MILL|ONAIRES LOOK
GOOD IN FIRST GAME
THE FIELDING WAS A BIT RAG
GED BUT THE SHOWING OF THE
TWIRLERS WAS REMARKABLE
WITH A BIT MORE POLISHING
THEY WILL BE READY.
(From valdosta Times.)

The showing of Herold's Millionaires
in the game with the Montgomery
Billikens yesterday afternoon wa,
very encouraging. The locals haC
never played game together before
and were naturally somewhat nervous
and unsteady. Their five errors were
costly and accounted for all seven 81
Montgomery's runs. With errorless
fielding behind the pitchers the game
would have been a sure enough cork.
err.
Love and Garwood looked mighty
sweet in the box. Both OF them had
plenty of stuff and appeared cool UNI
der fire. Love worked his splitter tc
nice advantage and his fast mail ha.
a nice hop on it. Garwood had a nice
break on his curve ball and his fas
one looked good. His control was :
bit better than was Loves. Both OF
these lads look to be good enough fol
regular berths.
The fielding of the Millionaires was
a bit ragged. Schwartz didn't have
his usual life and was a bit of stride
He will come around, however, "'cause
we know dat boy can git EN-" Dedon
handles himself nicely around that
first bag. He is bit slow in recover
ing wheA he fumbles, but should over
come this with a bit of practice. Kipp i
work was gilt edge. This boy is go
ing to show 'em all something about
fielding that short field this season.
The hitting of the locals was woe
fully weak. They were up against one
of the best men on the Billikens' staff
however, and were not due to hit very
much against him. With the addition
of one or two hard hitters the Mil
lionaires will be ready to put uT
some baseball this summer or we miss
! our guess mile.

THE HOUSE IN HAPPINESS
SQUARE

~ (Hazel Phillips Hanshew.) 4
= = y 4 4 \ + = 4 \ 4 !
There's house that stands in Happi
ness Square,
On little hill just above.
And it is built of brick that is solid
and strong.
Joined fast by the motar of love.
Wee windows smile with their glad
bright eyes,
That glow with the warmth within.
And the walls are white as Gods day
light,
That knows not sorrow or sin.
But it isn't mansion great or grand
Though its treasurer is wealth untold
For if walls are bare, white love lives
there
Which nobody gets for golG.
And kings may dwell in their marble
halls
And palaces rich and rare,
But there isn't home in the whole
wide world
Like the house in Happiness Square.
Oh, Happiness Square isn't hard to
If only you know the way;
And the little house waits, with open
gates,
To welcome you there-today.
And to those who love, and to those
who know,
They may find it's counterpart
In that tender clasp of a good mans
Or the warmth Of a woman's heart!

REPORTS FROM CITIES IN FAST
LITTLE CIRCUIT INDICATE SUE.
CESSFUL SEASON = SCHEDULE
WILL BE DRAWN UP THIS WEEK

Rome, April Especial THE
schedule committee meets in Rome to-
day. The lateness of the. meeting has
been caused by reason of the fact that
the committee wished to consider the
complete schedule when it assembled
again and it is thought that this will
be ready to be put before the moguls
the latter part of this week.
The latest dope on the local club
has it that Manager Reidy has cor
rallied most likely bunch of young
sters for the spring training season
which begins here next week. The
pitchers and catchers will arrive
first and the manager hopes to get
jerry to the pick Of the bunch by the
time the rest of the players begin to
arrive.
All over the entire Georgia-Ala-
bama circuit is activity in prepare
ton for the opening of the league
on May 5.

busily engaged in getting in touch with
local officials and with his players sign
ed for the coming year. All players
for the various clubs will begin ac-
tive practice during this week.
Kirk Newell, at Opelika, is also
on hand, and has notified his men
to report not later than the 18th,
many of whom will report before
then.
At Admission Bob Ragsdale has
been there for the past two weeks, and
many of his players have already re-
ported. He secured two players from
the Rochester team and may get one
or two more At Selma, Artie Riggs
is expected to arrive Tuesday, and il
is likely that spring practice will be-
gin there within the week.
Bruce Hays, at Gadsden, is al
ready on hand and many of his play
crs are already in condition, as many
of them come from New Orleans. Carl
Pace, the Talladega manager has in
structed many of his unknown guam
titles to report this week, and the

MUCKALEES SLAM BALL

CASTOR And His Grew Of Suggers Make Things Merry at
The Park. MiddkDiQht, Florida IRfielder, Looks

By TOphGaVy score

It's going to take some tall pitching
to head the Muckalees this season. The
other teams in the league will do we'll
to send for Walter Johnson, Christie
Mathewson, Chief Bender and all the
rest of the big boys if they hope to
stop the wrecking crew that Dave Gas
ton has trying for his teams It's cinch
that if the boys hit during the regular
season like they do in practice, the
pennaHt is already won.
The boys got after the pill yester-
day at two practices and knocked the
cover off half a dozen balls and lost
enough over the fences to start a
branch store for A. G. Spalding. They
had their batting lamps trimmed and
waded into everything that came over
At the afternoon practice CASTOR
and his Muckalees corralled more hits
than the Whang Doodles, and piled up
Ii to win. The regulars made
enough hits to win half dozen bail
games. And the Whangs were not far
behind them when it came to singing
the ball.
Big Boy Ellis, who is stationed on
first, picked couple that were seen
going over the gas plant the last time
they were noticed. Manager Davie Gas
ton rung up three hits for a total Of
nine bases. Erb poled one over the
fence that cleared the bases, and Bob
Riley and all the rest got more than
their share of bingles. Five home
runs were chalhed up on the Regulars

EASTER MORN

Easter is time of renewing things;
one of the nice things about it is
that most people make it the OC-
CaSiOn of new clothes, new hats,
new things -tO-Wear generally.
That is part Of the real meaning
of this great holiday; everything
becomes new.
Time was when the ladies did
most of this sort of celebration
of the day; but OW-a-days men
are making Easter their time for
new clothes; and it is good
idea, too. Every man in this
town who pretends to be we'll
dressed, or to care about his
looks, should be dressed in his
new clothes Easter morning.
Hart Schaffner & Marx clothesare
such as you will find best suited
for this occasion. The new ia
brics are beautiful. The new
models are particularly smart in
style.
We shall be glad to show you the
latest things-to-wear; fine suits,
new neckwear, new shirts and
all the latest STYLES in straw and
felt hats.
Come to see us. -.

They're sure pretty" assented old

But" objected Wilhelmine, grow

gay apparel make them easy marks
for the enemy's shot? Would not
soberer hahiliments lessen the slaugh-

Owing to your sex" old Kaspar
rejoined. you don't know much
Can't you see that these glad rags and
shiny guns serve to stir the patriotic
ardor of those who stay at home and
pay the taxes? Of course, it doesn't
