Gaines Team is
Victor Over Squad
Led by Chambers

Two score of famished golfers invaded
the dining hall of tho Country club last
night and when they got through with the
sumptuous spread that was laid visitor
would have thought somebody had turned
loose couple of Krupps on the place.
The banquet was the spoils of a big
team golf match that was staged at the
club yesterday. F. II. Gaines led one
team into the battle and Bill Chambers
was the battle-scarred warrior who COM
manded the other army. 1t was a COM
bat to the bitter end. but Gaines proved a
craftier general than Chambers. He
picked the best golfers and copied the
doings by ten strokes. Ten strokes isn't
much of margin, but it was suffi-
cheney.
As a result the Chambers crew had to
provide a banquet for tho victors. And
FROM all accounts Chambers and his gang
did themselves proud. for everybody
present agreed it was some feed.

ESCORTED TO SAFETY BY COPS

BOSTON. Sept. 16-Tho Detroit Tigers
and the Boston Red sox came to grips
today in the first game of the most
critical series of the year between teams
in the American league, with the result
that eDtroit scoring six runs to Boston's
one. narrowed tho margin OF Red Sox
league leadership to one and one-half
games. Partisan feeling ran high during
the exciting game. IL showed between the
players of the two teams when Ty Cobb
threw hts bat at pitcher Mays in the
eighth inning. after two balls had passed
close to his head on the next pitch
Cobb was struck on tho wrist.
Again Cobb was the person against
whom the feeling was evident. when at
the close of the game he was surrounded
by bleacher crowd. They pushed the
Detroit player and he shouldered them
back while he answered their gibes Wads
OF paper weer thrown.
Police Rescue Cobb.
Policemen had difficulty in reaching
Cobb's side. but eventually forced a clear
space and. assisted by eDtroit and Boston
players, escorted him to the clubhouse.'
The demonstration against Cobb mani
tested itself every time he appeared at
the plate, the crowd "booing" him each
time. The game itself was decided by the
strength and speed of eDtroits attack,
which sent Foster. the leading Red Sox
twirler, TO the bench In the fifth inning.
Collins finished that inning and was sue
oeeded by Mays. who allowed two hits.
Cobb's impetuous base running resulted
in another run after he had been hit I'm
the eighth.

GOVERNOR ALONE:
WILL DECIDE AS
TOEXTRASESS|ON
especial to Times-Recorder)

ATLANTA, Ca, Aug. 1.-THE ques-
ton of prohibition which has been put
up to Governor Nat E. Harris in con-
nection with the call for an extra leg
islative session, is in its way as pain
full a problem as the Frank case ap-
parently was to Governor Slaton.
No matter which way Governor Har-
ris decides, and there is ample evil
dence to show that his mind has nor
vet been made up, he will displease
barge number of good and conscien-
tious Georgia citizens and voters.
If he decides to include prohibition
lin the call, those who wish it exclua-
cd will say that he is sacrificing the
material interests of the state, leopard
fzing the appropriations bill and the
Western and Atlantic situation and
letting down the bars for a repetition
nf what occurred at the regulare SEES
sion.
If he decides to exclude prohibition
from the call, those who believe t
should be included will say thta ne
has interfered with the wishes OF tAe
oeople, as represented by the sleglsla-
,ture, to say whether they want u
max any change in the prohibition law
.or not. Some of them, the more eA'
IRENE and radical will even say per
hans. that he is in sympathy with VIVA
they call ''the liquor element.
Those who know Governor Harris
know that which ever way he decides
he will act in accord with his o"'
conscience and without fear OF crl'
icism which, in any event, he Will nc
be able to escape.

AMER|CUs HAS
A PROSPEROUS
FALL BUSINESS
FULLY ASSURED IF COTTON
PRICES HOLD.

Americas merchants are far from
pessimistic over the prospect for fall
business, and will go to the Eastern
markets to make their usual purchase;
for the fall and winter trade. While
the cotton crop is not all that could be
desired, either in acreage or prospec-
tive yield, there will be cotton to sell
in Americus-it is being sold here al
ready-and if prices continue even
moderately good there will be a large
volume of business during the fall sea-
son.
There are no wild claims that bust
ness will be better than it ever was
before, for. of course, the volume of i;
will depend great deal upon the price
of cotton, which cannot now be fore
told.
But even now there seems to be a
firm conviction that when note-paying
day comes around and the time comes
to settle up with the merchants from
whom supplies have been bought dur
ing the last six months there will be
few requests for note renewals and for
the merchants to carry old accounts
longer.
If the event proves that convic-
ton to be we'll founded there is no
reason to be apprehensive as fall ap-
proaches.
1t is a fact that more money than
ever before has found its fay into far
mers' hands this year from buyers of
meat, and a great variety of crops has
helped them to be less dependent upor
cotton for their welfare, and hence they
are in better shape to face a season Of
low priced cotton than they were last
year at this time.
And then there is an excellent
prospect that cotton will yield good
profit because of smallness of the cost
at which it was made.
