adopted policy that they contend will
work for the best of all teams in the
circuit and that will prevent any petty
internal dissension from arising in re-
gard to corraling of major league
talent
A list of players has been sent to each
club and that club will be permitted to
make overtures to only those players that
have been allotted to them on the list
In this way it is hoped to do away with
any argument among clubs as to which
should get certain player, and that all
of the clubs will work together for the
good of the league. The plan so far has
worked successfully and it seems as If
1t wa some of the best movements made
by Federal officials since the raid on orr
ganlZed talent was commenced.
Realizing that his best days as PLAYER
We're over and that only the minors lay
before him, Doc Seabough, the veteran
receiver who has played with Nashville
and Memphis since his entry into the
league in 1903. has decided to retire AL
though Seabough had an offer to mana ge
the Dallas club in the Texas league next
season, he turned it down. preferring to
step out of the game, as he put it, before
he was asked to. 3iiH
The rumor is now circulating that Ezra
Midkiff. the third sacker of the Baltimore
club, IN the international league, has
signed with the Feds. If the Federals in
tend to maintain a high standard of play
ing, they will have to secure only the best
talent in order to keep up with their
policy and not attempt to sign players
of inferior quality from the minors Mid
kiff was tried out last season by Frank
Chance, as was found wanting, proving
that he has not the ability to deliver a
high class article of ball.

Long Time Has Elapsed

Glancing over the history of the court
tennis title it develops that no champion
ship match has been played out of Eng
land for nearly 100 years, though there
have been several international matches
From 1919 to 1929 the championship was
held by an Englishman, old Fox.
From 1929 to 1862, Jedmond Parres was
supreme and unchallenged, and the cham
rionship rested in France In 1862, Ed
mund Tomp1ns and Bares played a draw
at London. In 1885, there was another in
ternational match, when George Lambert
of England was defeated by Tom Petit
of America. The championship thus for
the first time came to America. 1t re-

J ERILY is fate unkind to Char

Dodgers have been toiling
along in the lower ranks of the Ma
tional, unable to climb up into the
fight, and now just as prospects for
the 1914 season have taken on a rosy
hue the Federal 1eaguers come along
and deal a crushing blow to his plans
for next season. Although other clubs
in the National have suffered more or
less from the raid that the new league
has inaugurated the 1owly Dodgers
have been the worst sufferers. SO far
they have lost Joe Tinker, and ac-
cording to reliable reports. Shortstop
Fischer and Catcher Otto Miller. Enos
Kirk patrick another member of tho
Dodger roster, is also being sought by
the Feds
While the loss of any one of the men
is keenly felt that of Joe Tinker is
the hardest that is their portion to
bear. In persuading the Cincinnati di.
roctors to allow the great shortstop
to come to the lesser New York team
the Dodger management was forced to
give up Pitcher Yingling and Outfeld
er Moran. which reduces the roster of
Ebbets club considerably. Should none
of the other National league teams
rally around the Dodger standard and
help it repulse the attacks of the new
organization then there will be little
left tor Manager Wilbur Robinson to
mould a high class team from.

Senator Declares Governor Is
Mentally Capable and Might
Broaden in Washington.

Senator Benjamin r. Tiliman of
South Carolina, who is taking a two
weeks rest in Atlanta at the Robert
son Blackman Sanitarium, consented
to an interview on his arrival here,
in which he showed that he still knew
how to WELD his mighty ''pitchfork.'
although he would anoint all wounds
inflicted wit ali cheerful philosophy.
Coming to Atlanta from Columbia,
where he testified before committee
of the South Carolina Legislature in
vestigating charges against officials
of the State Asylum for the Insane,
his nina was filed with thoughts of
Governor Cole BleaSe, some of them
bitter, but relieved by the Senator'S
sense of humor.
That investigation" he said, was
instigated by underlings and satellites
of Governor Blease who want to GUST
the woman physician in charge of the
white women to make place for the
wife of the newly appointed State
Pathologist, DR.. Blackman
Expects Blease To Be Senator.
They fired a good pathologist and
replaced him with one who does not
know any more about pathology than
l do.
You know Governor Blease stands
by his friends and Furnishes his enc
mics. His enemies include everyone
who did not vote for him"
Senator Tillman said he feared Gov
ernor Blease would be elected to the
United States Senate. He was asked
what he thought Blease would do in
the Senate.
Il would say he would be small
potato" he said. II have been struck,
though, with the similarity of reasons
given for sending him to the Senate
that were used about me when | first
ran In 1894.
LAS they said about me, they say
they want to get Blease out of the
State, because thew can't do anything
with him in the state.

"lf Blease gets in the Senate, he
may fool them.
"As | told a friend of mine in a
letter during the last gubernatorial
election. Blease is eminently qualified
mentally, but he seems to be lacking
in moral fiber
I'm the Senate he might develop
into bigger. broader man"
Senator Tillman said the real res-
son for his coming to Atlanta was to
give Mrs. Tillman a rest He has
been III in Washington and he said
he wanted to get his wife away to a

from the strain of attending him.
His daughter, Miss Sallie May
Tillman, who is a student at Agnes
Scott College, with her sChoolmate,
Miss Alice Fleming, of Lynchburg,
Va, were visiting him at the time of
the interview.
Recalls Former Trip Here.
Sitting on the porch of the sani-
tarium he recalled his last trip to
Atlanta when he was very feeble. He
referred to his good health now, al
though at that time his condition was
so serious that some newspa pers al
most went so far as to publish his
obituary.
THAT tree there was torn into a
terrible wreck by a storm when l was
here before" he said, pointing to a
well-rounded elm In the yard. "They
wanted to cut it down, but l told
them no, and it was pruned under
my direction as | sat on this porch.
You see what 1t is now, a good
tree; and it will be beautiful one
when the leaves come out"

WOMEN IN PERIL

CATCHESF|RE

Mrs. ID. o. Dougherty, her son and
her mother. Mrs. Raine, were forced
to flee down the back stairway when
fire started in the basement of their
home at No. 1876 Juniper street Wed
nesday afternoon and filed their
apartment on the second floor with
smoke.
The lower floor of the house is oc-
cupied by Frank r. Logan and his
family, none of whom was at home.
Their negro cook, when the smoke
came pouring from the basement, ran.
screaming, from the house and
aroused the neighborhood. Mrs. j. G.
Harris, who lives across the street,
called the fire department. Little
damage was done
A farmer named Rosser, who lives
on the Decatur road, was knocked un-
conscious and probably seriously in
jured on Peachtree street, near the
Georgian Terrace Hotel, when his
horses were frightened by the pass =
ing fire engines. He was taken TO
Grady Hospital.
r. r. Otis, driving out Peachtree in
his automobile, saw the runaway and
tried to catch the running horses, but
was unsuccessful. He arrived at
Eighth and Peachtree a moment after
the man had been thrown out, and
found him lying unconscious in the
roadway. Mr.. Otis placed the injured
man in his automobile and took him
to the hospital.

sought to break the will which they
had offered for probate.
Mrs. Shewmake claimed this was

and that it had not been signed by
him until some time after the date
on which 1t was witnessed by

tered the plea that under a ruling

that it had been signed by him, else
r. could not be his will, and con-
tended that the will had been signed

In the belief that he has suffered
enough for his crime, Judge Hill has
asked Governor Slaton to pardon James

was convicted largely upon his own tes-
timony. His victim. he said, leaped out

accept the most responsible posi-
lions, and the increasing demand
made upon the school for stenogra-

The excellent record of Miss Full

that the courses at Bagwell Bust

shown by the strong Endorsement
