Auburn, April 6,--(Special )-Coach Donahue is working hard with the Au- burn baseball squad in an effort to get the team in shape for the games with the University of Georgia this weekend The Georgia team which is always a formidable opponent, comes to the Au- burn campus for a series of three games, one game Friday and double header Saturday.
 The sames which Auburn played with Marion Institute last week were the first of the season for Auburn and enabled Donahue to get a good line upon the team s possibilities. The pitching in the series was very good for this early sea son and the fielding excellent as only one error was made by, Auburn in the entire series. The hitting, however, was not up to expectations and an increased amount of batting practice has been or dele ed by Coach Donahue.

 for Visitors

By playing superior ball, Central High school scored } to victory over the Bibb County High school yes terday afternoon on Munger Field be- fore the largest crowd that has ever witnessed home game for the locals The game was fast and interesting and despite the fact that nine innings were played after an agreement had been reached to play only seven and the larger part of the crowd and departed
 The game was featured by the play ing of Pratt, the twirler for Bibb. Not only did Pratt show effectiveness on the mound at certain stages but he also proved to be the best hitter and fielder that Coach Campbell brought with his prodigies from Centreville. Griffin, in right, for the visitors, is the most finished fielder seen in high school ball He made several sensa- tional catches and figured in dou- ble play as the result of one
 Rives was on the mound for Central and worked well, although he got a poor start. The Bibb sluggers took to his offerings at the first part of the game, but after the southpaw had his crossfire, etc, in perfect working or der, the batterS might as well have been setting on the bench as trying to hit. But at that the Bibb team made a fairly good showing, but to take defeat after a brief string of vic tories proved more than they could stand.
 BIBB TAKES LEAD
 Blob took an early lead when they scored in the initial session. With one down, Eddings singled to right and went to second when Harrell fumbled it. Jones went out but Pratt added counter in Bibb's favor when he smashed a drive to left for one bag. This ended Bibb's scoring until the seventh, when Pratt singled and scored on double steal with Thompson on first
 Central scored in the second inning when Lasseter tripled to deep left and scored on Berkowitzs infield out. Two more were added in the eighth when Baker singled to right and advanced to second when the ball evaded Grif- fin Balsam scored him with another single to right and immediately stole second. Berkowitz singled and Balsam counted.
 In the eighth Central sewsd the game up with another series of safe ties. Baker was hit by the pitcher ana was doubled at first when Griffin made a sensational catch of Balsam's drive to deep right. Lasseter doubled to left and scored when Harrell singled to right. Harrel went to second on the throw to the plate and counted mo- men later when Berkowitz doubled to right.
 Lasseter played star game for Cen tral both at the hat and in the field. Barks also played well at short, mak- ing several good stops Berkowitz's timely hitting scored two of Central runs, as well as contributing to the fielding hOnOrS.

PLATE MONEY OF THE PAST

Ono Of the largest coins ever strucl

pounds. and its coinage value In 1864
was eight Swedish dalers. which
would be about $3.50 In American

Coins Of this kind were called

in denominations of eight, four, two.
one and half daler pieces, with pieces
Of Eve and three dalers in one year.
The coinage had been In progress 10
years when the specimen now here
was struck. In 1H5 the Swedish
government melted down 116 bronze
and made them into 86,760
plate money dalers.
Such large pieces Of pure copper
were issued as money In order to
find an outlet for the products Of the
Swedish copper mines without depre-
ciating the value of the metal. All
plate money Is naturally becoming
quite rare. Daler and half-daler
pieces are most often found: twos
and fours are scarce. and the eight
daler pieces are no longer to be seen
in Europe except in the large mu-
seums.
