Bill Lindsay Finds Fortune
 And Decides 10 QuH Baseball
Will Reside on Plantation in Madison, N. C., in
 lhe Future

there Bill went on home, however, and directed the activities on his farm. Tobacco producing proved most prof. table and soon Bill bought the tele- phone company, paying 5000 and talk ing it out of the receivers hands.
 Last month Bill was offered s8000 for his company but he refused. He pro- poses to make some money off the project and then sell it for another big profit later. He is sole owner of the company, which controls all telephone lines at the present in Madison and Mayodan and Stonewall, two adjoin- ing towns. The company is prosperous and everybody in that section gives Bill the claim for bringing the tele- phone back into use in these sections.
 Now that Bill has acquired such prosperity, he has decided to quit the national pastime and live the remain der of his days like prince" He can afford it, however. with the best plantation in North Carolina in his
 name and the boss of a big telephone company as a side issue
 Danny takes the responsibility for all # the above. He says it's all so, an' his word is taken as the truth.
 It all goes to show that there are few good fellows among the ranks of ball players yet. Bill acquired all of his money to start his prosperity by saving. Now he's glad he did it. Congra tulations, Bill. F. B.

Former Baron Leaps From Ranks of Ball Player to
 MultimilliOnaire

Leaping from the ranks of an ordi- nary ball player to that of multi millionaire in a short time, is some jump, but that's exactly what Bill Lindsay, former Baron third sacker, has accomplished. The news of Bills phenomenal rise was brought to Bir- mingham recently by Danny Clark, second sacker for the Barons, who spent the winter with Bill in Madi- son, N. C.
 According to Danny, Bill is the "big cheese in the section surrounding Madison. Bill Is the owner of a large tobacco farm, perhaps the best in North Carolina. But in addition to be- ing a plantation owner, Bill acquired so much wealth that he invested still more and now he is owner of the Madison Telephone company.
 Lindsay was with the Barons last season, but was busted for the third sack position by Eddie Mcdonald. Bill then tried to play short, but he couldn't show the right kind of stuff to Moley Kid Caton was his success sor there. He was then shifted to right field and he was replaced again, this time by Jimmy Eschen.

CORNELL LEADS
 GUN CLUB SHOOT Walter Huff, Noted Profess sional, Makes Usual
 Good Score

E. NJ. Cormwell led the shooting with the splendid score of 49 out of 50 in the 50-target race and 95 in the 1O0-target race Cormwell was the only one to make a perfect score of 25 and also made the long run of the day. His shooting was the more remarkable as there was a very hard wind blowing in the face of the shooters, making the targets very cratic.
 Walter Huff, the noted Macon profess sional, was on hand, and made his usual good score, leading in the double-target race by breaking 20 out of 24.
 Sixteen shooters were on hand to com pete in the various events and the com petition was keen and the scores are splendid considering the hard conditions,

Anniston, March 10.-(Special )-Terry Joe Wiley of Rome were the work horses among the pitchers in the Georgia-Ala- bama league last season. Terry led the league in innings pitched by flinging the ball through 1855 2-3 innings during the three and one-half months season. Joe Wiley was a close second working in TT innings. Watkins worked in more games than any other man in the league, talk ing part in 9 games. Terry worked in 24 and Wiley in 20. Terry led the league with 100 strikeouts. Watkins, by giving 3 passes, led in bases on balls given. Wiley and Watkins were tied in games won with 15 contests each to their credit. Watkins is credited with more putouts than any other pitcher, having retired 19 runners Williams of LaGrange led the pitchers in assists with 62, and also led in errors with seven boots out of 75 chances.
 Big Harry Matty Matthews record of last season does not agree with the gen. eral opinion of the fans that the veteran catcher has seen his best days, as the big fellow led the league in both putouts and assists by assisting in 91 outs and making 353 putouts and only six errors in 450 chances. The only thing that Matty can't do as well as he used to is in circling the bases. Gooch of Talladega was second in both putouts and assists and led the catchers in errors by making 19 misplays. He made 313 putouts and S4 assists out of 416 chances.
 In the outfield Don Flynn of Newman, who led the league in hitting and stolen bases, also led the league in the largest number of putouts, with 136, and in as- sists with 17. He made four errors and had 157 chances. Shaw of Rome was sec ond in putouts, with 130, eight assists and two errors out of 140 chances.

GADSDEN FAVORED
 FOR GA. |. BERTH Good Collection of Players Goes With Franchise of
 Newman Club

Anniston, March 10.-(Special 1.-The city which secures the open Georgia Ala bama league franchise which was for feited by Newman, Ga, will draw a good collection of players with the franchise, which should make the foundation of "a strong club.
 Harry Matthews who managed the club last season. will be at the head of the Griffin club this year. He finished the season of 1915 with Newman only a few games behind Rome, the pennant winners
 In Hal Griffin, a first baseman, and .265 hitter; MacSie, at second. and .305 hit ter; Gondolfi, at short who hit .252, and Showers at third, q 204 hitter, and who lined out 13 two-base hits out of 25 con nections. q complete infield will go with the franchise Besides an outfielder in Boyd who hit .242 and fielded .976 and two pitchers in Lowery and Watkins. The former pitched 500 ball last season, while Watkins pitched brand that gave him an average of .652.
 Gadsden which was in this league in 1913 and 1914, is favored by most of the clubs in the league to the take the place made vacant by Newman withdrawing. A movement is on foot in that city and Alabama City and Attalla to or ganize club to be known as the Tri- City team. The three cities are in spten- did condition and new people are being added to the populations of the cities daily. It is thought that ball club would be given good support there. Then, too. the other cities in the "Gaf' would save mileage on jumps between towns.
 Marietta, Ga, is making a strong bid for franchise. However. it is thought that this city is too close to Atlanta to draw well with a class D club. This was demonstrated with the Bessemer club in the Southeas stern league in 1912, as the club had to disband because the fans in tha tsection had access to class ball in Birmingham.
