Now as the season progresses a line
can be had on just how the teams in
TIE several leagues of Georgia and the
South will stack when the final games
roll around. Romes, in the Georgia
Alabama seems to have the best team
in that circuit, winning so far five
contests and losing not a single one.
Close behind these leaders comes the
Newman bunch. The players from
Coweta have played five and lost only
one of that number. Dead Rabbit"
Pierre, the former catcher of the
Muckalee outfit is receiving for the

The prep. school situation Of south
Georgia is rounding into a question of
which school will prove better, Sparks
Institute, of McRae, or Piedmont In
stitute of Waycross. Both these are
cleaning up this section of the state,
and teams usually in the running
have left out in the cold. Fore
most among those freezing to death
just outside the doorway are Triton
aggies and Norman Park, two prep
schools always in the front.

SIMON ALLEN ESCAPES FROM
GUARD NOT FOR LONG

Simon Allen, a negro, was arrested
for petty larceny this afternoon about
2 o'clock He was put in the guard
house but not for long as he managed
to make his escape almost Immediately
by crawling through a hole onto a
tin roof dropping to the ground below.
He was caught very shortly afterward
in B. L. MAYORS yard, MIR. Naylor af-
fecting the capture. He was some the
worse for his fall from the roof, hay
ink sustained considerable bruises and
a broken leg.
He again languishes in durance vile.

Douglas aggies defeated Triton 10 to
7 and it was sorry imitation of the
good game it should have been. Doug
las had previously been counted out
by Piedmont, who seemed entitled to
the rag. But Sparks Institute must be
considered before the banner Is
awarded. This is the first year they
have attained much success in athletic
lines, but they have certainly made up
for lost time. Their operations have
been confined mainly to High schools
of the section, but in the few games
played the prep. schools, victory has
always been the result.
So there seems no way to settle the
discussion than to let the disputing
parties, Sparks and Piedmont, fight it
out on neutral territory. And as Amer.
icus has already been the scene OF
what promises to have been a cham
pionship series, we venture the as
sertion that if the series were to come
to this city, enormous crowds would
gather for the trays. So if they want
to play off the tie, bring them by all
means to Americus- best place on
earth for college and amateur ball.
