N. B. METHoDIsTs OF COBB

1t was deemed necessary to make
some readjustments in the several
Methodist charges in Cobb county
and / trust all concerned will accept
the changes made as the best arrange
ment for the general good of our
Methodist work. Hence the follow
ing changes: County Line church
was taken from Powder Springs and
put in the Acworth circuit; the Eli
zabeth circuit was absorbed, and Vim
ings, Nesbit and Bold Springs were
placed in the Smyrna circuit while
Elizabeth and Olinville go into the
Marietta circuit to take the place of
Mt. Bethel and Mt. Zion, which, with
Ebenezer from the Alpharetta cir
cult are placed with Roswell to form
the Roswell circuit. In view of the
whole field this was the best read
justment that could be made in or
der to conserve our work and give
the people the best ministerial ser
vice, and so let us all go into the new
relationships to make the coming
year the best in our history.

COL. MORRIS APPLIES FOR
COMMISSION AS INSTRUCTOR

Colonel Fred Morris has filed his
application for a commission in the
Ordnance Department, Officers Re-
serve Corps, Small Arms Division at
Washington, and has been placed on
the waiting list, for notification when
his services are desired. The depart
nent is placing men of experience
on the active list almost every day,
and the experience gained by Colon
ell Morris through the various branch
es of the National Guard service,
covering a period of Is years, and
especially his services as a member
of the expert rifle team from Georgia
well qualities him for the class of
service demanded. In the event of
his call to active duty his services
will no doubt be demanded as in
structor on the rifle ranges being
erected throughout the country.
Colonel Morris was recently placed
on the Retired list of National Guard
Officers of Georgia, with the rank
of Lieutenant Colonel, and under
the law, being member of the Cen
eral Assembly of the State, would be
exempt, but he has waived this, and
the fact that he has been retired, and
asked to be assigned to active duty.

ST. JAMES CHURCH NEWS.

The Synod of the Province of
Sewanee met in Charleston on Nov
ember 18th and lasted through the
5th. There are fourteen dioceses
in this province and as many bishops.
1t includes the state of Louisiana and
all states east of the Mississippi and
south of Ohio and Virginia. Six
clergymen and six laymen are elect
ed as delegates from each diocese.
There is much interesting work
within the province. There is the
work in the rural parishes, the ne
gro work, the work among deaf NUT
es, the work among the mountain
eers, and the regular mission work
which includes the smaller towns that
are not self-supporting and the set
tlement work among the mill people.
One can easily see that the synod
would be interesting from start to
finish. 1t was the livest meeting of
the kind that this writer has attend
ed. Social asides had to be cut out
entirely. We did not even accept the
invitation, though it was placed on
the program, to take a boat trip
Thursday afternoon around the wat
er-front. And it was after eleven
o'clock at night when the synod fin
ally adjourned to meet next year in
Louisville.
One of the most interesting sub
jects brought before the synod was
the plans of the church's War Com
mission. Perhaps it is generally
known that when the size of our reg
iments was increased, the number of
chaplains were not increased. That
means that there is one chaplain for
each 5000 men. The church propos-
ed to call for volunteer chaplains, to
equip them and send them to the
front as needed, so that the men may
know that the church is with them
wherever they go.
Bishop Perry of Rhode Island told
of service which he had for reg
iment of artillery just about to leave
for the front. He heard and started
Immediately, arriving after dark in
the rain. He and some Of the boys
arranged for it, the altar being pro-
tected by tent flap. At seven next
morning when notice was given, 450
availed themselves of the privilege
and marched in mud and rain and
kneeled for the service. One hun
dred and eighty received the Holy
Communion. Life now means more
to these men than to many of us, and
so their religious nature has greater
need. F or this work $50O,OOO is
to be raised.

One of the members of the engi-
neering corps, Mr.. Stein, of New

Y. M. C. A. had done for him in lift
ing his spirits mile high. One speak

and how the beneficent ministrations

close to the fighting lines that they

FAYORITES WIN IN
GRAND CIRCUIT
Butt Hale 0utclasses ALI Other
Two -Four PAGERS; Kelley De
Forrest Walks Away
With the Trot.

Columbus, O., Sept 22-Four class
events were raced yesterday in
the fifth days meeting OF the grand
circuit; in every event fayorite was
victor. No stakes were on the pro-
gram and the class events proved to
furnish little competition, even in the
split heat events, the 2:12 pace and
the 2:l2 trot. Horses that dropped
heat through a mistake won the other
three rather impressively.
The 2:04 PAGERS were so outclassed
by Butt Hale that he had to do none
of his miles in better than 2:05A to
win. Ina Jay also had an easy team,
winning the 2:12 trot in slow time,
save for the second heat.
Kelly DeForrest walked away with
the three-year-old trot and Uhlan
Simmons had the speed of the party
in the 2:l2 pace.

Busher Pulls New One;
Hides in Crowd, Scores

y Clarksburg, W.. Va, is thriving
city of 10000 population and it has
the Norwood Park base bali club to
keep it acquainted with the national
pastime-. A Clarksburg daily de-
scribes the local Ty Cobb as follows:
Robert Cropp, local outhelder,
rounding third In the eighth inning,
saw that the ball coming from first
base would beat him to the plate. He
looked up, saw the umpires were
not looking in his direction and then
pulled probably the most amazing
and nerviest play in the history of
semi-professional base ball. He de-
liberately walked out of the base line
and hid behind a group of spectators
who were standing morelthan fifteen
feet back of third base.
Upon receiving the ball the Wis
iting catcher looked around for
Cropp, but saw no one. He was con-
vinced that man had been coming
home from third, but guessed maybe
it was the heat that was affecting him.
He then hurled the ball to second to
catch Stull, who was off the bag, but
the throw went wild. Cropp then
emerged from his hiding place and
scored. The visitors raised aihowl on
the umpires' decision, but as the lat
ter had not seen Cropp out of the
base line he refused to make re-
| yersai."

LATONIA> RACES
ATTRACT STARS
Cream Of Horse World Entered
in October Meeting; Eighty
Six Nags to Weed
! Out.

The announcement Of the entries to
the stake events to be decided at the
coming Latonia meeting, which opens
October IS, shows that the cream Of
the horse world is going to compete
at this meeting. A few of the big
eastern stables failed to enter, includ-
ing such ones as August Belmont and
Whitney,. but neither Of them has
much left, as sickness and accidents
have robbed them Of their\star per-
formers. Belmont's Houfless, the
only rival of Omar Khayyam,> has
been on the ailing list for some time.
His great 2-year-old Lucillite was
kicked recently and will be out of
racing for some time.
About the only 2-year-old in the
country which is not entered in the
Queen City championship stakes is
Sun Briar, winner OF the Hopeful
But with eighty-six to choose from
that stake is going to be some pump
kins. 1t will be the last big event Of
the year for the baby racers, and as
they will be asked to go a mile 1t
means the winner will receive as
much consideration for the years
championship honors as will the win
ner OF the Futurity or the Hopeful.
Quite certain it is that the winner
Of this event will be the ruling IA
vorite for the Kentucky Derby to be
run the following May.
The Latonia cup race is corker,
too. When one can get forty of the
best 3-year-olds and over in the coYn-
try to enter for a two-rnne and a
quarter race it is some task, And
every one of the entrants possesses
class. That list is headed by the
great champion, Omar Kbayyam, al
though he will have stout opposition
from Clematis II, Roamer, Ticket,
Bella Desmond, and a score of other
good eastern and western horses.

Sam Crawford Gets
Release as a Reward
For His Fine Service

Wahoo Samuel Crawford will be a
free agent after this season. The
great outhelder, who helped to win
pennants for the Tigers, will be given
his unconditional release without a
string attached to him. Every club in
the major league has waived on him,
not because the managers consider
that he is through, but Simply as a
compliment to the ex-barber, who has
been one of the most popular players
in the game.
Samuel will retire with plenty OF
this worlds goods. Not because he
needed it, but simply to give Detroit
fans a chance to express their opin-
ion of him, the Detroit club last sum-
mer donated all its .receipts Of one
game to Wahoo. Sam having a dis
position which abhors idleness, the
chances are that he will either buy a
minor league club or else manage one.
If he wants to he can return to Wa
hoo, Neb, and be elected mayor or
anything. else at the disposal OF the
home folks.
Crawford has been with Detroit for
fifteen years and in the major leagues
nineteen. He is one of sixteen men
who batted over 800 in eleven years
and his grand average of $40 for
eighteen years. OF the sixteen Ty
Cobb is the only one now in the game.

YANKS NEED MEN
WHO WON'T BREAK
Donovan Must Get a New Lot
or Drive Away Injury Jinx
Il. a That Follows His
Team. ~ j..

Wbsn the New York Yankees were
bought three years ago by Colonel
Rupert and Captain Huston it gener-
ally was considered that/before many
seasons had passed the american
league would have a pennant winner
in base balls biggest city. The new
owners were capable business men
with plenty Of money to spend and
the inclination to spend it. Z,
The result goes to prove that no
amount Of money can pitch, bat or
play the outtield. A fortune has been
spent in building up club and yet its
highest hope appears to be to finish
in the first division. Not much was
expected of the team the first year,
since it had to be completely rebuilt,
Last season it started off bravely and
even was leading the league in July,
only to finish in fourth place. This
year high hopes were entertained for
the Yankees, but they have come to
nothing,
Their failure cannot justly be
charged to the owners, the manager
or the scouts. Never has frfore effort
been expended upon a club and never
has club had such continued series
of misfortunes. In the three years
of the new regime there is hardly a
man who has not at one time or an
other been out of the game. 1njrses
or il&aess have followed the Yankees
in unbroken succession. Almost never
have they been able TO put their full
strength in the field.
Every regular has been out of the
game somewhere from five days to
five months. Bill Donovan was laid
up with the grippe. Home Run
Baker came to the team with bad
hand and later broke his ribs, and
hurt his legs. Maisel and Gilhooley
have broken collar bones and Gllhoo-
ley broke his leg. High and Bait
mann both had blood poison. In
addition to this, Baumann was spiked
and hit in the eye with a thrown
ball.
Caldwell had a bad finger on his
pitching hand and an injured knee.
Nunamaker had tonsiltis and was
spiked. Peckinpaugh was out with
a twisted back. Shocker and Mo-
ridge pulled ligaments in their arms.
Walter Pipp sprained his. ankle;
Walters was spiked, and Hendryx had
bad Veg. Alexander had split fin
ger. Lee Magee had various injuries,
and Joe Gedeon was forced to un-
dergo an operation. Marsans had
scarcely settled himself in his new
Berth when he broke his ankle. UntA
the Yankees manage to secure some
nonbreakable players they never will
be pennant contenders.

LIFTS MORTGAGE
WITH SHOOT PURSE
Winner Of Grand American
Handicap Makes Good Use Of
Coin He Earned by
Victory.

When the national amateur cham
pionship event was called in the
Grand American Trapshooting tour
nament held recently at the South
Shore Country club in Chicago, the
word came down the line in the usual
mysterious manner to keep your
eyes on Larson OF Wisconsin"
Larson had broken ninety-nine
clays to win the championship OF his
home state, being "some shooter"
Larson had got off at the wrong
station on the way to the shooting
grounds andsi,is squad shot without
his in the Chicago Overture event.
There was only one event left in
which Larson might distinguish him
self. That was the Grand American
handicap. 1t was this event in which
Larson was picked to do his best
shooting. He went out on the first
day with 70 in 80, and just as soon
as his score was posted many others
began to pay attention to him. The
fact that he was shooting from twen-
ty yards indicated that he was wor-
thy. In his final twenty targets Lar
son missed one target, and Mark
Arie of Thomasboro, ILL.,, who also
had 79 in 80. dropped one. so that
there was a tie for the Grand Amer
lean handicap at oS. Arie was shoot
ing from twenty-five yards-the back
mark.
1t isn't every shooter, after missing
his first target and shooting against
one of the best trapshooters in the
world, would have had the courage
to continue as Larson did. Larson is
of the stuff from which real cham
pions are made. He missed the Sec
ond target in the second string, CIV
ing Arie the advantage. Arie missed
his thirteenth target and Larson fol-
lowed suit. Arie missed three more,
but Larson was through missing.
That is the reason that Waupaca,
Wis, is talked about so much these
days.
Larson is the owner of the general
grocery and market in Waupaoa. He
opined he could make use Of the
a43.40 he won in putting little paint
on the old homestead, buying few
pairs of shoes and lifting the mort
gage on the farm. Larson is "a years
old, the youngest trapshot to win the
Grand American handicap. He is, a
sturdy youth. strong as the pro-
verbal bull and chilly as the day
was when the shooting took place,
Larson fired at the clays in a shirt
with the sleeves cut off at the elbows.
Others with much more clothing on
were chilled through, but not Larson.
He had more important things on his
mind than thinking about the
weather.
