PRIZE PIG CARRIED
BY AIRPLANE TO-DAY

Aerial Queen, the prize Duroc
Jersey pig. won by recruit James w.
Taylor, of Lagrange, Ca, awaited to
her new home this morning.

ed prize pig, valued at S175.00 had
been secured from Aries Plantation

Souther Field who had enlisted dur
ing the month. 1t was further an
nounced that the recruit could do
nate the pig to any member of his
family and have the animal deliver
ed by airplane to his home town.
After the numbers of the lottery
had been drawn, Aerial Queen was
discovered to be the property of Re-
cruit Taylor, of La Grange. A pilot
was all that was necessary to COM
plete the transfer.
Early this morning the pig arrived
at Souther Field in neat white
crate and as Immediately transfer

1t. K. B. Wolfe, aviator, accompan-
led the animal as companion, pilot
and guide.
When last seen the pig was seated
in the rear cockpit gazing calmly out
of her crate, studying the instrument
board, and apparently endaavoring
to determine which was altimeter
and which indicated oil pressure.
1t. Wolfe assured nv passenger
of his kindly intentions. that he was
a careful driver and that he would
endeavor to be a gentleman under
all conditions such as forced land,

Having communicated these senti-

WASHINGTON, Aug. Is (By AS

Republican Senators are ready to
stand for the quick ratification of the
peace treaty, with some reservations,
Democratic leaders in the Senate to-
day were informed by leaders of the,
Republican group of reservation adj
vocates, although Senator Hitchcock,
the administration leader still dis
claimed any part in the negotiations
for settlement. 1t was apparent that.
the move had reached proportions
which might strengthen the plans of
the committee for calling for addi-
tional witnesses, thus prolonging the
consideration of the treaty.

.AMERICUSPLEADS
.ALIBI AFTER LOSS
ON ALBANY'SLOT

Americus took the lead in the first
inning of yesterdays game when
McMullen hit safe and scored on a
long drive off of Parsons suck.
In the third inning Americas push
ed over three runs, with as many
hits by McClesky, Dedman and
Hooks. Their last run of the game
came when Lane hit single with
men on second and third, in the fifth
inning. The bases were full in this
same inning, but Welsh at shortstop
made a pretty catch of a hard hit
drive from Parson.
Albany made her frs run when
Umpire Ryan called Welsh safe 9t
home, though Americas rooters be-
lieved ne was thrown oor two feet.
THIS was the first protested decision
of the ga me and came in the thu. G
inning Ryan was then yanked out
of the umpire's box, and two other
men tried at handling the indicator.
Both proved unsatisfactory to both
teams, however, and some man from
Albany consented to umpire the rest
of the game.
Both teams had become tired of
quarrehng, so the last umpire finish
ed the game.
In the sixth inning Albany tied the
score with a hit, base on balls, a
couple of errors, and another fluke
hit.
Up to this time every thing was
in favor of Americus, Albany had on
" secured three hits off of Ball, and
the whole team was looking like big
leaguers.
Parsons went in to relieve Ball
who plead he was weak from medi-
cine he had taken the night before.
Barney was going fine however and
does not get credit for a loss, as
the game was tied up when he retir-
ed.
Parsons had not had time to warm
up much, and when he got j htne
up much, and when he got in the box
was rather wild. A hit batter,
walk, and failure to cover base,
coupled with nice hit by Kemball,
tells the story.
The Americus team was not allow
ed to get sufficient batting practice,
SO they took it during the game.
Every man on the team secured one
hit, and four of them got two each.
