RUCKER POSSESSES A NOODLE
With Arm Dead" Brooklyn Pitcher
Continues to Win Games.

Alpharetta is very small dot on the
map of Georgia, about twenty
miles up along from Atlanta, but it is
n plRce Of great historic associations.
1t was there. as any citizen of Alpha
retta can tell you, that George Napol-
con Rucker first saw the light of day
back in 1880, and it was on the Alpha
Tetta lots that the great southpaw of
the Dodgers first won applause as a
tWirler. Little did they think, those
Alpharetta citizens who cheered the
red haired, barefooted, freckled kid as
he pitched the village nine to victory,
that they would some day be smoking
cigars and chewing plug tobacco
named i'll his honor.
Napoleon Rucker started his tenth
season in the Brooklyn uniform this
season. Ten years ago Pat Donovan,
the leader of the tribe Of Ebbets. sent
his Georgia discovery into the box
against the Boston club. Nap was Wis

TED MEREDITH, PENIS GREAT RUNNER,
READY TO START.
lotic world-frst came into prominence
about the time that Sheppard. after
eight years Of the most constant sue
cess ever enjoyed by an athlete, had
virtually run out his string, and it was
only a short time before his name
eclipsed that of Peerless Mel.
Meredith was a sensation Of the
! Olympic games at Stockholm in 1912,
/ when as a mere boy he won the 500
meters championship for the United
/ States and i'll doing so hung up new
worlds records for 500 meters and
500 yards, marks that compare favor
/ ably with any on the record books to-
day. From the day of his triumph in
the Olympic meet the Pennsylvania
/ youth--he is only twenty-three today
and with several of the best years Of
an athletes life before him-ruled SUI
preme as a middle distance runner, and
those who once said that Sheppard
would never have an equal are now
making the same assertion with regard
to Meredith.
Athletics is Il game of the survival
of the fittest for the most part, and
Meredith long since proved himself the
fittest of them all in his line.
There are two predominatfng reasons
why Meredith is today. besides the
worlds quarter and half mile cham
pion, also holder Of the national 44C
yard championship and both the 44C
and $50 intercollegiate titles. FiguTa
lively speaking, he has the strength OF
an OK, and he possesses a fighting spirit
that might have made him a formidable
man in the ring had his inclination
turned to boxing rather than to foot
running.
Beyond question Meredith Is the
strongest individual who ever essayed
to gain fame on the cinder path, and ii
is chiefly through his extraordinary
strength that he has been enabled tC
attain the success that has been his fol
nearly four years.
4 man of smaller and less rugged
physique than Meredith would long age
have broken down under the strain o.
the strenuous campaigns that the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania youth has beer
through. Athletic careers have beer
wrecked through the same course 0
work that has made Meredith the grea
runner he is. In order to keep in condi
ton and to attain his best form after
layoff Meredith. has to do almost twic
as much training as the ordinary run
ner, but his remarkable stamina Ell
dures all the work that is asked o
it by the stocky Pennsylvania.

never been put in touch with an athlet

his hands. After that little furry Nap
steadied down and pitched mastery
ball, and although he lost his first big
league game, the score was only 3 to 2.
In his younger days Rucker used to
put a lot of speed on the ball, but now
he is famous as the possessOr of the
best slow ball in captivity. The GeOr-
CLANS arm began to go back on him
about three years ago, bat he retained
his gray matter intact and developed
slow curve that has been the despair
of many star swatters. 1t is a more
difficult matter to connect with Maps
slow teasers, say those in q position to
know, than to connect with the mer-
chandise of the speed boys. Napoleon's
cranial appendage is a fling cabinet in
which he has stored the learning and
lore he has been accommodating for
years, and he knows the weak point Of
every National league batter by its
first name. Last season Rucker used
his slow ball exclusively, and his arm
grew stronger in consequence.

Raking athletic history in the region
Of 1912 one finds emblazoned the name
of Melvin w. Sheppard-Peerless Mel,
they called him then. Track and field
athletics had never known such d Won
derful middle distance runner as Shep-
pard, and experts predicted that there
never would exist a man his equal at
foot running. Yet the day came-and
was then not far distant-when "Shep"
first hit the trail to oblivion. His star
had only begun to fade when there ap-

than had Sbeppard's.

ENROLL.

The attention of the Democratic
voter is called to the fact that under
the new rules and laws of the Demo
cratic primary it is necessary to have
a new enrolment every year. The
names of the secretaries and the
places where the books are has been
published twice in The Herald and
News. Some of the clubs have enroll
ed pretty we'll while some have not
enrolled. Two clubs announce this
issue that they will have the books
at the club precincts for the purpose
on Saturday.
The last day for enrolling is July %
We simply desire to call attention to
the regulations and urge each voter
to see to it that his name is on the
club roll. And you must put it there
yourself. You can not authorize some
one else to sign the roll for you.

CITY PURCHASES NEW
FIRE ALARM SYSTEM

City council at a melting on Mon
day bought new fire alarm system
which contemplates putting in in diff
ferent parts Of the city fire alarm
boxes or stations.
They bought an electrical bell
which for the present will be at
tached to the town clock bell and
also a transmitter which is so ar
ranged that box signals may be at
tached in the future. For the present
the alarm will have to be telephoned
to the engine house and the signal
for the bell sent from there. 1t is
the right thing to do. In the future
a regular fire alarm bell may be at
tached separate from the town clock
bell.

"I am strongly in favor of Labor
Unions. 1t is the God given right OF
every man, and his right as a citizen
of this great country, to organize and
unite with his fellow man for the pur-
pose of improving his conditions in
general. No man will dispute this
as general proposition. 1t is as
natural for men to organize for the
general uplift of all and for the bet
tering of conditions and surroundings
as it is for water to run down hill.
Lets look around, at our very
doors, and see what we find along this
line. The cotton mills, doctors, den
lists, lawyers, merchants, bankers,
and hundreds of other trades and
professions have their organizations.
Then why is it, wrong for the mill op-
eratives to organize? Why is ne
alone singled out as the one class OF
our citizens, "who shall not organize"
for the betterment of his conditions
It seems to me to be very short sight
ed policy of some of our mill pres
idents to pursue the policy some have
the past months. Would it not be
better for them to say to their help,
'Y >. % ahead and organize, try and

will meet you half way. We will

and home of the brave are actually
afraid to mention a word, above a

fear of being Immediately turned off
and thrown out of employment. I do
not vouch for the truthfulness of the
following, but it is generally talked,
that if man takes any part in the
getting up of a union, or even speaks
favorably of them, his job is gone.
And it is very difficult matter to
get another position with any of the
mills of this section. If this be true,
it is the rankest sort of oppression
and should not be tolerated. I hope
it is not true, for it is 30 unreasonable

JOHN A. HORTON
"The Peoples Candidate"
FOR CONGRESS
Is in Favor of Labor Organizing

on it's very face, it is hard to believe
business men would act so foolishly.
ANY person VINO would transmit, by
phone or letter, the name of any man
who had been discharged for the rea-
son he was in sympathy with labor
unions ought to be liable criminally
and any mill who countenances any
such act should be liable for damages
1t is an outrage that free white men
should be bounded from pillar to
post in any such manner when he is
only exercising his right as citizen
of this great country-the freedom
of which we boast so much about
81 say to the mill operatives to
organize. The longer you put it off
just so long are you standing in your
own light. The masses of the people
both town and country, are at your
back. If our mills continue the
course in which they have started
they will soon find themselves in the
very unenviable position the railroads
deliberately placed themselves by the
way and manner they treated the pub
lie a few years ago. They soon dis
covered the short-sightedness Of
their policy and set about putting
their house in order. But it took a
long time and they had to reap their
bitter reward I have heard that
some of the mills of the Piedmont
section of our State have about de-
cided it is the wrong policy to fight
the organization of their help and to
accept the situation and meet it as
men should This would seem to be
the only rational course for them to
pursue. 1t is not much trouble to
get along with men who actually
work for living when you treat
them like human beings. The
majority of the help in many of
the mills in this section when shown
that conditions did not warrant + any
advance in wages would accept the
situation gracefully. All they would
want, and they have perfect right
to be shown, that conditions were
truhtfully Represented as to profits.
When times are hard and no profits
can be made at the present wage
whatever that might be-the help
when shown actual facts would be
willing as reasonable men, to share
in the depression. Then, when condi-
tions improved and the margin OF
profits increased, it is nothing but
right that labor should share In the
increase. Political Adv.
