WOMAN ON HUNTING
TRIP SMOKES CIGARS

Moultrie, Nov. 25.-The natives or
rather number of them, of South
Colquitt saw movie-like spectacle in
real life yesterday and it shocked
them, 1t was a woman smoking a
cigar and it was long black one, too.
She was member of party of hunt
ers down South spending the winter.
The party had stopped near the road
to eat picnic dinner, and the hutress
was enjoying her after dinner smoke.
There is no privilege a woman
should not have the man has," she
said as she flecked the ashes from
the long black cigar why shouldn't
| smoke CIGARS" she militantly in
quired on interruption. Isn't it just
as good as putting at cigarettes as
some women do also some men.
AS she calmly shifted that cigar
from one corner of her mouth to the
other she looked like she didn't care
what we thought about it, one of the
"natives" who saw it said.

he swatted Goa performance that
sent him to Columbus He Joined the
Cleveland Americans in 1907 and re-
mained with them three years. his
averages being .22S. .231 and 1858.
Hinchman moved on to Columbus
again and then became a Pirate, hit
ting for 1907 In 1915 and for 1915 in
1916. Jacques Fournier. of the White

Men Subject to Draft
in Two Major Leagues

Chicago, May 16.-Approximate-
ly fifty-five men from each of the
two major ueagues are subject to ma
tional service under the selective
draft. according to an estimate made
by Ban Johnson, president of the
American League, after a trip over
the eastern end of his circuit. He
said the magnates are unwilling to
attempt to influence any athlete who
believes his country needs him but
that there is yet hope that the big
leagues will be permitted to finish
the season without the disruption of
the teams.
Upon the suggestion of Captain T.
L. Huston of the New York Ameri-
cans Mr.. Johnson is making arrange
ments to have American League
scores distributed to Canadian and
American troops at the front.
