Sport Snapshots
(By Jack Keene.)

The writer ran across an item in
an exchange paper the other even
ing which announced that this would
be Hughie Jennings last year as
manager of the Tigers. The item
added-youve guessed it already
that Ty Cobb would succeed him as
pilot Of the Jungaleers.
The yarn went on to state that
Hughes repeated failures to bring
a remnant winner to Tigerland were
responsible, that the fans were OFF
him for life and that the club had
decided to let him out, Maybe so.
And maybe the Georgia phantom
will succeed him as boss. But know

Ne10s From the World OF Sport

| ing Tyrus Raymond as we do. we'd
| like to lay a little bet that he has
| brains enough to duck the job.
1t would be foolishness for Cobb
to end his days in baseball as a man
ager.
Ty is baseball's superman. He
will be as long as he plays, even at
| ter he slips as a batter, fielder and
base runner. Fans always will see
| him as he is now-at his best.
II Tyrus goes from actual playing
| into retirement he will carry only
glory and honor with him. Fans
will give him the glad hand every
| time they see him.
But Tyrus will step into a new
game If he decides to become a big
| league manager.
The fans will forget his wonder
full playing ability.
We can see now what would hap
pen. The first time Tyrus allowed
one Of his hurlers to stay In the box
a little longer than the fans thought
was proper they would go right
home. dig down in their tool boxes
and get out all the hammers they
owned.
And, boys, how those hammers
would ring.
We hate to think OF 1t.
Not that we want to state here
and now that Tyrus would not be a
successful manager. But we doubt
IL any human being could accomplish
what the major league fans would
| expect Of Ty.
Nothing but a pennant winner the
| first season would keep their faith
in him. The team would have to be
| in first division every minute.
We know the fan. He doesn't
mean to be unfair-but he wants a
| winner.
Tyrus has shown himself to be one
OF the wisest men In baseball as a
PLAYER. It's a good bet that Cobb
would pass the buck to someone else
If he were asked to turn manager.
We hope he would.
United States sailors who have be-
come proficient at rowing will have
a good chance to try their strength
| soon. The New York athletic club is
| arranging a regatta for the sailor
boys to be held on the Hudson river

nounced include a two-mlle race for
! 10-oared cutters, and one-mlte
! whale boat event.
| All the events will be open to
crews representing naval training
stations and warships of the United
| States navy. The regatta is one Of
the many moves being made to
promote athletics among the men in
| service. Other meets and tourna-
ments are to be staged during the
summer. q

III YOUNG MEN ARE
REGISTERED ON
WEDNESDAY
Very Bad Showing For The
Negroes AS Only "a
Were Registered

In the registration of the young
men who have reached Il since last
June 5th, the estimate of the local
board was fulfilled almost to the
man, so far as the white men were
concerned, but the board is unable
to account for the falling off in the
colored registration.
Last June the registration showed
26 per centof colored men, while only
IA per cent of those who registered
on Wednesday were colored
The board will at once take active
measures to ascertain the cause of
this unusual falling off. 1t is barely
possible that ignorance of the place
or date may have been the cause of
it, but ignorance of the law is not a
valid excuse.
We would like to suggest to the
leading colored men of the county,
that they themselves make an imme-
diate inquiry into this matter. lfit is
on account of lack of knowing, and
not an attempt to evade the draft,
reporting to the board at once with
such a statement will lessen the of
fense, although no such promise is
made by the board, we know that the
penalty in such cases will be lighter.
The number to register on We'd
nesday totaled I'll in Cobb county,
and of these lat were white men.
The local board has call for en-
listment of men who are qualified for
special or limited service to report to
Vancouver Barracks, Washington, D.
c., where they are manufacturing
parts of planes. Mr.. Jones Maddox
has enlisted under this call and will
soon leave for the West.
Under a call for specially qualified
men to take special army course at
Tech this week, the board has enlisted
the following men: c. c. Stainhaur,
j W. Motley and Earl W. Westmore-
land, who will report on the 18th of
June. One or two more men may be
taken for this call.

MEN MAKE FUN AT
THE WOMANLESS
WEDDING
Who Says There Has To Be
Women To Take Part
In Everything?

The Auditorium rocked with laugh
ter Monday evening! Judging by the
sounds of revelry by night" that
"Womanless Wedding" was surely a
bowling SUGGEST From the time Mr..
E. l.. Robertson, as the butler getting
the parlors ready, to the leaving OF
the last guest, the audience laughed,
and laughed, and then laughed
We would like to be able to enumer-
ate each actor, and to describe each
costume, but lack of space forblds.
The remarkable collection of we'd
ding guests will have to be classed as
a whole, though each one deserves
special mention. We must state en-
phatically, however, that each man
on the stage was a perfect lady! But
that bridal party will just have to be
taken piece by piece. Joe Marchman
and George Anderson, Jr, made pref
ty girls at the punch bowl. The en-
trancing flower girls, with rosy cheek
and flowing curls, in dainty decollete
frocks, Just reaching their dimpled
knees, were Messrs J. W. L. Stovall,
Rosser Little, Dewey Gable, and Gus
Benson. The stately maid of honor
in trailing gown of pink satin, was
our sweetly smiling man of affairs,
Mr.. B. G. Brumby. The mother OF
the bride, Judge Stone, was one OF
the very best ever seen. But when
dainty little ring bearer, Dotty DIM
pie, who came skipping up the aisle
in lacy, very abbreviated lingerie
frock. turned out to be our dignlfled
Mr.. E. L. Stringer, it brought down
the house. The trembling, frlghten-
ed bridegroom, Mr.. c. E. Powers,
came in with his best man, Mr.. Geor-
pc Griffin. The beautiful, blushlng
bride. in robes of white, with long
veil and orange blossoms, was Mr.
Frank Hardeman, who came in on
the arm of the reluctant father, Jud-
ge B. V. Greer. The ceremony was
impressively performed by Col. ). H.
Foster, who kissed the bride, as usual.
The guests were entertained by vo-
cal selections by those lovely young
ladies, Eugene White, in sky blue
satin, and Mr.. Johnnie Christian, IN
becoming gown of pink.
The wonderful interpretive dane
ing of that graceful beauty, Mr.. Geor-
pc H. Sessions, created wild enthusl-
asm.
Preceding the wedding were some
"real things" lovely song by Miss
Sara Patton, a pretty violin solo by
Miss Constance Cole, and charac-
teristic reading by Mrs. John Boston.
The affair netted about $50, OF
which $55 was cleared by the Ladies
Aid Society of the Baptist Church,
who sponsored it. Mrs. j. M. Gam,
as President of that society, wishes
to extend sincere thanks to each and
every one who contributed to the sue
cess of the entertainment.

THE BELL BUZZARD

A belled buzzard was found dead
on the farm of Judge Morris near
Acworth several weeks ago. The bell
was about the size of small tea bell
and was once nickel or silver plated.
1t was tied on with a copper wire and
both wire and bell showed the corrod-
ing effects of years of wear The
bones, together with the bell, will be
donated to the state museum in At
lanta.
At various times, in various Sec
tions of Georgia, Alabama, and Tenn
essee, reports have been current of q
MYSTERIOUS belled buzzard and nc
doubt this is at least one of the buzz
yards causing these reports
Irwin Cobb wrote thrilling short
story on the subject, which was pub
lished in The Saturday Evening Post
few years ago, and which was voted
the prize story of its class.
Possibly this is the original buzzard
of Cobb's story, although we believe
he placed the scene in Mississippi.
And though his story was classed
as fiction, it was founded on fact,
and might have been true to the last
line of the details.

THE COUNTY BOARD
MEETING ON TUESDAY

No business of special and general
interest was transacted at the regular
monthly meeting of the County Com

The most of the day was taken up
with a delegation from Howell Dis
trict, who We're present with petit
ton for moving the road camp from
Middleton, and starting immediate
work on the roads in the Howell Dis
trict, which were represented as being
very bad, and another delegation
from the Hiram District Of Pauldlng
County, wanting the authorities OF
Cobb to connect the main road Of
Polk, Paulding, and Cobb counties,
with the Hiram road, rather than the
Dallas road, which had been selected
by the authorities Of both counties
some time ago.
The monthly supply contract was
given to Anderson Brothers and the
Hardware contract to SchilLng.
