ers were in bed at that ti1ne-but
we are now discussing Gilliland.
We have to admit that Gilliland
never uses tobacco-but then he
probably would il, he did not
know it would hurt his playing
value to the team. Can we have
such dissipator on our team?
Again, he is so old that he prob
ably has but a few more seasons
OF ball playing, considering how
he dissipates Gilliland is actual
~ 70 years Of age. We want a
tall club-1lot an old mems home
so he won't do for our team.
The third count against him is
that he is so slow on bases. In
the four games he has been in, he
did not play but three full games
and part of another, he stole only
three bases. John Monahan stole
something like six or seven out OF
SIX full games so this slowness is
ineNcusable. More than that he
always runs out his hits, whether
they look like safe ones or not.
Any experienced baseball player
will condemn this practice ?????:
His eyesight is also very poor
His batting eye is simply awful
In the twenty times he has toed
the rubber this league season, in
gliding the times he got free rides
to first, he has actually struck out

Tuesdays Triumph

Tuesday the club from the
colony city decisively defeated
Dawson by the count OF 9 to 4.
There was never any doubt about
the outcome of the game from the
first inning, when the locals scor-
ed three, until the last Dawson
ian was out. Although the home
team hit nearly as hard -as our
club, they made errors when fast
fielding was in order, Dawson err
rors and punched Fitz hits be
ing responsible for the first and
eighth inning runs. Fitzgerald
completely outclassed the home
team.
Norris and Harper both did nice
work, Norris getting two singles
out of four chances and Harper
getting two doubles out of foui
times at bat.

THE ROTTENEST PLAYER
ON THE TEAM

OF course every fan who has
followed the career of the club
this season knows to whom that
title belongs-Gilly Gi1uliland
We have five objections to that
man as ball player.
The first is that he dissipates.
We can produce several witness
es to testify that he was sitting
up on the hotel porch as late as
eight o'clock one day last week.
OF course none of the other play
The Leader, enterprise and press. (Fitzgerald, Ga.) 1915-1921, 1916-06-14

How about that long, skinny
second baseman of ours? He is
without doubt the most valuable
man on our club right now-bar
none. Mr.. Milligan, all-southern
utility, is ready at any time to
pitch, catch behind the bat or play
any position on the team where
there is hole Milligan is knock
ing the old pill quite a bit himself
also. With men on bases and
one or two runs badly needed we
would feel pretty safe with Milly
at bat.

time. Out of eleven times at bat
which count in his average this
Weak-eyed, decrepit veteran hit
safely three times and connected
the other seven, ran for first as if
his life depended on it, but was
thrown out. A, man who can hit
the ball into the big ring but ten
times out Of eleven chances GER
tainly needs his eyes treated????
But one Of the greatest troubles
We find with this fellow is that he
IS 50 extremely unpopular with
the fans Every time he comes to
bat everyone starts making a big
noise with their hands and faces.
They either do this to give him
They either do this to make him
ian or to rattle him so he will
strike out. However, they have
been unsuccessful so far. When
ever anyone tries to encourage
him by asking him to knock the
hide off" or chit a homer" the
rooters all make big noise to
drown out the encouragement.

best pitchers advised a bunch of

Gilliland was lent to Cordele
for the week by the earnest en-
treaty of the manager of that club
Although we need Gillie ourse1-
YES quite some it is a cinch our
neighbors need him worse, so the
local fans should not begrudge
his absence too much, as long as
we are going to get him back.
A great deal of credit is certain
ly due to Skipper Cochran for the
way he has brought the boys into
line since he came. At least four
ball players have made vol derful
improvement since his arrival and
the credit is due to the skipper to
a great extent.

Coach Donahue would not say whether or not verbal agreement had been made whereby the game would be played annually in Birming- ham. but 1t Is thought that this is the lone binding cord of the big clash between the two foes, always near the front in the final ranking
 The Auburn-Vandy game, in the past years, has been one of the most inn portant staged in the south. Auburn is generally the strongest eleven in Dixie with Vandy challenging every bit of the way. Last year Auburn's high standard was slightly blurred when Vandy administered, a terrible licking to the Crimsonmen.
 TEAMS ARE STRONGER
 The game this year promises to be the greatest in the history of the strug- gle. Auburn has a stronger team than last year, while Vandy, too, bids to surpass her record of 1915 although it won the championship. Football fans in all sections of the south flock to Birmingham to witness this great struggle, truely booked as the "gridiron classic of the south"
 Several games came up to the equal of the Auburn Vandy struggle last year and the big game must improve greatly this year or else it's lofty ranking will be threatened, and threatened seriously. With the exception of last year, the struggle was easily the best staged under Dixie's sun and although the 10000 spectators who witnessed the fray were somewhat disheartened over the failure of Auburn to play their standard game, the Throne of the Car of Dixie grid iron contests was not shaken.
 Every effort will be made by the joint alumni, who has charge of the game, to increase the attendance to at least 5000 people, which means that over 5000 must

The Birmingham age-herald., 1916-10-15

Although no contract calling for the game to be played in Birmingham has been signed or will not be signed until after the scheduled game is played here this season, Coach Donahue stated that the game would be played in Birmingham for years to come, with out doubt.
 Birmingham has given the Auburn Vanderbilt game excellent support" said Coach Donahue, and there's not some other southern city. Auburn and Vandy are both satisfied with Bir- mingham as the location for the game and it's reasonably safe to predict that as long as Birmingham continues to be a good football town, which l think it will, the Auburn Vandy game will not be given to any other city"
 RUMORS GROUNDED
 Coach Donahue's statement brings an end to the countless rumors in circula- ton over the south that the 1916 sea- son would witness the last Auburn Vandy game to be played in Birming- ham. Nashville people have called" the Vanderbilt authorities for their fail ure to play the game on Tennessee soil but the rich inducements which Bir- mingham offers was too much for the Nardy officials to turn down and take a risk on Nashville turning out big crowd.
 Although the Vanderbilt officials have not made any statement recently as to their view concerning the mat ter, Coach Donahue would have hard : ly spoken so positively had he not

 Mobile, as expected, followed their cus- tom, bringing up the rear with an at tendance of only Ss,9S0 less than the num- Der of fans to witness any one of the past worlds series games in Boston. Mo bile suffered a big decline from 1915.
