A CANOE IN FIRM

A change has been affected in
the firm operating the Johnson
Market whereby Mr.. Merrill
lloughton acquires all the inter
terest OF Mr.. j. F. Carney, who
retires from the business. The
firm as now composed is excep-
tionally well adapted to the con
duct OF the business they arc
handling.
Mr.. Johnson, beside being a
genial gentleman and generally
popular, is hustling business
man and has a knowledge OF live
stock which will prove invaluable
in the purchase OF stock for their
slaughter pens. Mr. Johnson's as
soclate, Mr.. NJ. Ii. Houghton, is
we'll known to the trade of this
city, having served four years I'M
der that prince of caterers, Mr.. L.
O. Tisdel, SO that his KNOWLEDGE
OF the grocery, frui; and vege-
table business may BE accepted
as par excellent. With these
gentlemen at the head of the
business, Mrs. Hazel Dampier as
order clerk and book keeper, a
corps of veteran meaJ cutters
consisting of Messrs. r. Perry
r. l.. Griggs and A. Nipper. and
with both auto and bicycle deliv-
cry, it would seem these gentle
men had the business organized
to give the trade as near perfect
service as is possible. The stock
carried will consist of a complete
line of the best fresh and cured
meats obtainable, cereals, grocer
les, fruits, and green goods. In
tact, they guarantee to furnish
you everything usually kept in a

The Foot BnW Done NNr9 to BE Unset TOdnN
Georgia Tech. Is PLAYING infornna
foot ball this year all right. Ask any
team they have played.
TWO CLUBS AFTER
THIS YOUNG MAN
Cleveland and Chicago Oubs
Both Have Catcher Tom DAILY
on Reserve List; What's
Answer?

Inspection of the reserve lists filed
by clubs OF the major leagues reveals
that a club in each league lays claim
to Catcher Tom Daily and the mixup
gives him the first chance to get into
public print. at least as a major
Lacquer, that he has had all season.
DAILY figured in a trade between the
White Sox and Cleveland that made
him an Indian. but he decorated the
Cleveland bench until late in the sea-
son, when he was sold to Buffalo. He
finished the season there and the next
| news of him was that Buffalo had sold
him to the Chicago Cubs. However
that may be. his name didn't appear
in the published list of purchased
players, nor did it appear in the list
of players recalled, but there was a
Bailey" recalled by Cleveland from
Buffalo. A little thing like a mistake
in the letters of name doubtless won't
interfere with Cleveland's claim, but
it would be interesting to know Just
how ; Buffalo and Chicago thought
they could make a deal for player
belonging to another club. One of
Charley Weeghmans clever ideas for
rebuilding his Cubs, perhaps.
Granting that Cleveland proves its
claim, DAILY may yet have his chance
with the Indians, for Manager Fohl
may, have more need of an extra
catcher next year than he had this.
Steve O'Neill can't continue doing all
the work and Billings and Deberry
have yet to show themselves as first
string men. This is not the FIRST time
Tom Daily has been the subject of
dispute, by the way. The Boston
Americans thought they had pur-
chased him once from Lowell, but the
validity of the deal was disputed and
when Boston withdrew its claim
Lowell sold him to the White Sox.
DAILY was rated big prospect as a
catcher at that time, but Ray Schalk,
like Steve O'Neill with the Indians,
refused to yield to him.
TOMS greatest claim to fame lies
in that home run he made before the
king OF England when the White Sox
and Giants, on their tour of the world.
were playing their final game of the
trip in London. Ii was ! great battle.
that game. Each team wanted 1t. for
there was a good deaL of rivalry as
the tour drew to a close. Recollection
is that it went II innings and that
when DAILY broke IL up with homer
even King George stood up and
eheered Just like an ordinary fan in
the bleaehers.

EBBETS IN FAVOR
OF SHORT SEASON
Brooklyn Magnate Sees Million
y Dollars for War Fund in
Taxes From National
League.

Charles H. Ebbets, manager Of the
Brooklyn base ball club, says: The
policy OF, the National league, l am
positive, will be to continue opera
tions of 1918. | believe that it would
be unwise to discontinue, for several
good reasons. In the first place
1t is the patriotic duty of club own
ers to keep the game alive for, by
so doing, the government will receive
from base ball nearly $1,000,000 in an
nual taxes.
The public will require some form
OF recreation during the continuance
OF the war. Base ball is healthy
amusement and should be maintained
lui4 as the theaters will be kept open.
bf closing our gates the national
game would be seriously injured,
property interests destroyed and
thousands of young men deprived of
! means of livelihood.
Il believe that the sport should be
continued precisely along the same
lines that have prevailed for the
last fifteen. years. Players salaries
should be paid consistent with a
clubs income. The government re-
quires that, the public must pay the
10 per cent tax on admission so that
the tariff will have to be increased
accordingly.
"The length of the schedule for next
year is matter for Joint action by
.he major leagues. / favor l40 games,
beginning about April Is and closing
September 2S. 1t is preferable to pay
l9 or 20 players a fair gross salary
rather than divide the gross among
Rs men,"

Heine Zimmerman's chase of Col

weren't the only goats, however.
There were Others. This story is OF
a man who was made the goat; there
in it differs Nom the woeful tale OF
Henie and Urban. They were the
molders of their own fortunes.
James c. McGill. president of the
Indianapolis club, is the unfortunate
who is to be the hero" of this tale.
Mac, having won the American asso-
citation pennant and later the double
A title, was quite prominent figure
at the worlds series encounters. That
helped make him a target. Every
body was busy congratulating him on
his good year in the lobby of the
Blackstone hotel, in Chicago, when
UP marched a man slightly known to
McGill. He was a distant relative
too distant to know McGill under Or
dinary circumstances, but rather
closer when it netted gain.
why, hello, Jimmy" cried the rel
ative: '1et me congratulate you on
the work of the Indians. So glad to
see," etc, ad inf, accompanying the
greeting with a pumphandle opera
ton of McGill's hand.
After the effusive greeting died
down and while they were talking
comh1onplaces, the new-found friend
suddenly interjected:
Say, Jimmy, can you possibly get
me a ticket to today's game? I've
come all the way from home and
can't buy a ducat anywhere"
Mr.. McGill, who is nothing if not
obliging, volunteered to try. McGill
went to the Sox office to get one
that was coming to him. For it he
shelled out SIS; in other words $5
pasteboard for the three games in
Chicago. I
The indianapolis man sauntered
back to the hotel, found his man and
handed him the ticket.
MAC, you don't know how many
times obliged l am for this favor"
blurted out the tickets recipient. "I'll
never be able to repay you for it. A
thousand thanks" He took the ticket, |
placed it securely iH~his~ wallet and
vanished.

fading figure of the very friendly rel
ative and began to realize that he |
