Eddie Mcdonald made a great stop
and play that robbed Stutz of a safe
hit in the second inning. Lester Shee-
han made two great leaps into the air
and speared the pellet on blows when
a safety seemed certain Bill Webb
also came in for his share of the honor
In rewarding the star Baron nurler by
making great play on ground ball in
the seventh inning.
Only four Travellers reached first
base. Three of these gained life on mis-
plays on easy chances. In the third,
Sheehan threw wild to first on Wares
grounder. In the fifth, Kirkham was
passed. Two men were out and AL Ellis
dropped Chapman's long fly. It was an
easy chance. Boman struck out to end
the rounds
SOUTHY MAKES ERROR
The only other Traveller to gain life
on the path was Chapman, in the eighth
inning, when Bill Southworth dropped
his fly to right field on another easy
chance
OF the four Travellers to reach first,
one advanced as far as third, while one
more reached second. The remaining
two were left stranded at the initial
bag.
Hill pitched great ball throughout. He
had perfect control, especially after a
runner had gained life on the paths.
The outfelders had eight putouts, con-
sidered busy day.
PALMERO HIT HARD
,Palmero, the Cuban southpaw, started
on the slab for the visitors. His offer
sings were pounded to all corners of the
Il ut from the start and after being
4ched for eight hits for four runs in
shr innings, he was relieved by Tur-
ky Boman. The former Alabama star
\ as also numerically hammered.
y Eleven hits for eight runs were nicked
off his delivery.
The Travellers performed we'll in the
field, committing but two errors. Each
of these let in one run. Fine outfieiders
were kept busy in every inning, the
inielders having few chances.
Moley's men got a one-run lead in
the first when Bill Webb singled to
Tfeft was sacrificed to second by Nc
AlyonaId and scored on Lee Sheehans
pscorching single down the third base

SHERIFF Is THANKED
BY PHILIP COOK
ATTENTION is CALLED TO SOME
OF THE MOST FREQUENT vIo-
LATIONS OF AUTO LAW

Sheriff Turner has received a let
ter of commendation and thanks
from Secretary of State Philip Cook
for his hearty cooperation in en-
forcing the state law regarding the
operation of motor vehicles.
The greatest number of complaints
throughout the state refers to the
failure of drivers of machines to
comply with the law and obtain
drivers licenses. Every person who
operates car other than his own
IS chauffeur, in the meaning of the
law, and is required to register and
obtain badge. One construction
OF this provision is that any
member of an owners household
may drive the owners car without
such registration, excepting when
the car is used for hire or CONNER
cial purposes; in that case the driv-
er would be a chauffeur and would
be required to comply with the law.
Frequent complaint is made that
persons under 16 years of age oper-
ate cars. This is against the very text
of the law and should be stopped.
During the twelve months of last
year there were issued 1853 IL
censes. In the month of March of
the present year the department
lacked just one hundred of having is
sued the same number.

CARLOAD NEGROES
GO THROUGH DAWSON
WERE EN- ROUTE TO WORK FOR
SOUTHERN. WERE JOINED
BY SEVERAL HERE.

A solid car of negroes, going
north, passed through Dawson over
the Central railroad Friday.
The car was taken by the Central
from the Georgia, Florida and Ala
bama railroad at Cuthbert, and the
passengers were gathered along the
route from Tallahassee, Fla. Several
joined the party here.
The men, it was learned, were be-
ing taken to South Carolina to work
for the Southern railroad in rebuild
ing many bridges and fills that were
washed away by the flood of last
August.
None of the negroes bought tick
cts, and is presumed that a repre-
sentative of the railroad was aboard
and paid their fare.

ED NO-HIT GAME.

The local high school baseball team
showed themselves an aggregation of
much promise on Friday afternoon
when they completely wallobed the
high school aggregation from Rich
land.
From the beginning the game was
clearly seen to belong to the home
boys, yet the visitors were determin-
ed, even if playing an uphill game.
For them there was hardly a feature
except their fighting spirit, while for
Coach Dixon's boys too much praise
cannot be given. They worked as one
machine, yet the major part of the
glory must go to Hitler Brim, who
pitched for the locals. In nine full
innings not one nit could the Rich
land boys make from his delivery
while he made two hits out of three
times at the bat off his opponent.
McNulty and Dixon also featured at
the bat
