WHISKY DELIVERED TO
YOUR OFFICE IN ATLANTA

| ATLANTA, GA, September r.
Here is a little true story of an At
lanta blind tiger who is not blind
tiger in the generally accepted sense
OF the term, but is a gentleman who
provides a very select line of friends
with liquor at a reasonable price
whenever their necessities demand the
same.
An Atlanta citizen sojourning few
minutes in the Office of friend, along
toward the close of the day when the
stenographers and clerks had gone,
was asked by the friend this question.
Would you report me if | should
order a quart of whisqey?'
Il will kill you if you order quart
ard don't give me at least one drink,
replied the citizen.
The friend took down the receiver,
called for certain number, and when
he got it he spoke these words:
Come a running"
Presently there entered the office a
tall, well-dressed man. well groomed,
good looking man about thirty-tive
years of age. He walked straight to
the drawer of the gentleman who had
called him, reached down and pulled
open the drawer on the right hand side,
threw open a small leather hand bag
he carried, dropped into the drawer
quart OF liquor and closed the
drawer, then snapped the latch of his
hand bag, and Strengthened up
The friend opened his check book,
wrote a check for $500, turned it over
to the business-like visitor, and sale,
Much obliged, old man to which
the visitor replied. you're not obliged
to me. for | wouldn't be here if |
weren getting mine. Let me know
when l can serve you again" and out
the door he went, walking with the
erect, quick stride of typical high
class business man!
"Yu'd be surprised to glance over
that fellows calling list" remarked
the friend, taking couple of glasses
out of the desk drawer and setting
them on top of his desk. You would
find some of our most prominent citi-
zens on it"

AMERICAN LEAGUE VETERANS
NOT CONSIDERED OLD.

NEW YORK, September 12.-Since
Eddie Plank. Sam Crawford and Nap
Lajoie have been counted out of ac
tive competition in the American
leaeue the veteran class in that orgai>
zation has simmered down to just
few players, none of whom has spent
more than thirteen years in the big
show. Thirteen years is lot of time
but when considered alongside the
records of Lajoie, Wagner and a few
others of that ilk they fade away.
Not many persons would admit that
Terry Turner of the Cleveland Indians
is the Oldest player in point of play
ing years now in the American league,
but he is. Terry made his advent in
to the exclusive Johnson curcuit in
1904. going from Columbus. For many
years he was regular with the old
Blues, sometimes an outfielder and
sometimes an infielder He never
was heavy hitter, but his record
would make any ambitious youngster
jealous His best season with the bat
was in 1912 when he hit 3OS.
Leaving Terry, it is discovered that
Ty Cobb Eddie Collins and Clyde
Milan are the oldest players. Young
sters, they are considered by great
many persons who see their activities
on the field
Cobb has been a member of Hugh
Jennings Detroit Tigers for twelve
years. He never has played with
another big league Stub. Collins has
been big Lacquer eleven years. His
activities have been confined to Phila-
delphia and Chicago. Clyde Milan
left Wichita, Kan. ten years ago to
take up the business of baseball under
Clarke Griffith and he has enjoyed
most brilliant career. Other veterans
still soiourning in the American league
are Jack Barry, Ownie Bush, Frank
Baker and Iris Speaker.

nized in the records as old-timers is
