Fourteen years ago l had a

ROCHELLE SHUT OUT

Friday afternoon, at Rochelle,
the local bunch for the fourth
time decisively defeated the Ro-
chelle team. The final score was
8 to 0. 1t was SO easy it was a
shame. The Fitzgerald boys
played beautiful game all the
way through. Lassater, our new
hurler from Dalton, pitched the
first six innings and allowed two
hits. He famed six out of the
first nine to face him and eight
during his six innings on the
mound. Stewart went in for a
little practice the next three in
nings and let the home team have
three small hits, to give the out
field chance to exercise. Both
Lassater and I Stewart made one
hit out of two chances.
Mize featured on the bases as
usual. Barnett's perfect peg from
deep left spoiled the only chance
the Rochelle club had to score.
The splendid team work of the
whole club was we'll worth MOTTO
ing, also.

Mr.. G. H. COCHRAN

G.. H. Cochran, better known
as Skipper, arrived last night in
the city from Bowman, Ga,
where he has been coaching the
Gibson-Mercer Prep school teams
in all branches of athletics. The
Gibson-Mercer teams, under his
guidance, have made very good
name for themselves this last
year and testify to Mr.. Cochran's
ability.
G.. Fl. Cochran entered Mercer
University in the fall of 1911 and
very shortly earned his place on
the football team. He played
haif-back all three years he was
at school and covered himself and
his team mates with glory every
game. He also starred on the
basket ball teams all three sea-
sons, being one of the fastest men
seen on the Mercer court He
also made a name for himself on
the track team, winning many
points for his alma mater at every
meet.
But peerless as he was in all
these branches of sport, the work
he accomplished in' them shrinks
to insignifcance when compared
with his playing on the diamond.
AS baseball player he simply
can not be equaled, much less
surpassed. In the field he is as
fast as iris Speaker, at bat he is
to be feared by opposing pitch
e9s as that inimitable exponent
of the grand old game. Cochran's
leadership in all branches of
sport and his captaincy of many
teams, has earned him the title
Of Skipper" and a good skipper
he is. We all remember the in
vincible march of the Cochran
club which cleaned up everything
in South Georgia last year.

1t is is usually the custom for
every club in a league to have a
pet or nickname of some sort
and this very commendable
practice. The name should be-
token something which sets the
city or team apart from the gen
eral run. Fitzgerald has many,
many distinguishing characters
tics but one which may not be
duplicated by any of her three
colleagues in the Big Four" lea
que, that is the fact that Fitz-
gerald is Colony City," or in
other words, founded as a colony
for colonists and to colonize this
section. Considering this fact it
would be entirely appropriate to
call the Fitzgerald club the Col
onists. Any suggestion for a
nickname will be gratefully ac-
cepted.

those four runs by the Rochellites

SOME PHONE INFORMATION
TAKEN FROM TESTIMONY
From record testimony of N. c.
Kingsbury, vice president American
Telephone & Telegraph Co.. before
state utilities comm at Springfield,
May 8:
Q - Are you ready to receive any
information that the public in Chi
cago does not want this sale of the
automatic phone system to the Chi
cagO Telephone Co., or that the pas
sage of the ordinance authorizing
sale was corrupt and does not repre-
sent the public opinion of the city of
Chicago?
Al think that is a matter for the
states attorney and l think it had
better go there.
Q-Are you ready to receive it?
Absolutely ready. You cannot
insinUate to me that there has been
anything crooked on our part in this |
matter. AS far as public opinion is |
concerned I am perfectly willing to |
receive any evidence, but should be |
careful where it came from. The |
city council of Chicago considered I
this matter for a long time. They
are pretty good interpreters Of public
opinion. If there should be a terri
BILE wave of protest. say this trem-
bIing-if there should be a terrible
wave OF protest in Chicago, l don't
think we would do it (buy the auto
