SPORTS
|. C.I. LEAGUE IS
NOW BEING FORMED
Sap Rises Fast and "Mags"
Get Busy-Bessemer
May Get Berth

The most widely discussed question in
the fast T. C. 1. circuit at the present
time seems to be, who will be the fourth
member of "Dixie's Amateur Major
Lacquer 1t is a foregone conclusion that
Colonel Langrebe, at Ensley; George
Millar, at Fairfield, and Temple, at
American Steel and Wire company, will
have teams, so it only requires one more
good team to go with these universally
recognized fast steppers'' to make Miss
Winnifred Collins T. C. l. league games
the favorite Saturday sporting event for
the Birmingham district.
The most insistent demand seems to be
for Miss Collins to '1et Bessemer do it"
During an impromptu discussion of this
matter a few days ago one ardent T. c.
/. fan said: THE only thing see against
giving Bessemer the remaining berth in
the league is that the Bessemer rolling
mill is the smallest plant mentioned for
this place, and that as the league prom
ises to be unusually fast this year this
would naturally work hardship" An
other fan high up in T. c. I. circles spoke
up and said: 81 don't believe you need
waste any sympathy on Bessemer, be-
cause if l remember correctly they have
always been one, two, three when the
final gong sounded, and | do know that
if Supt. w. J. Smith can get ball players
like he can get tonnage that the other
three teams will have to consolidate to
even stay in the running"
George Millar and Colonel Landgrebe
baseball magnates De Luxe and rivals
of long standing, seem to have the call
on the ball playing talent at the present
time, but with "Sats" Hodge doing the
gumsho work for Temples wire mill
outfit, and Bob Ragsdale and Gaz Will
1iams in the same role at Bessemer the
fans around the circuit can rest assured
that the Wiremakeds and Tigers will be
ready when the initial gun is fired some
time in May.
So from general observation, and from
dope picked up here and there it seems
as if Bessemer would be the most popu-
lar choice for the fourth berth in the T.
C. I. league this summer. T. C. 7. fans
are eagerly awaiting the return Of Miss
Collins from the National Ameteur Base
ball conference the latter part of this
weel., when it is expected that she will
have some interesting news for these
hungry baseball fanatics TO feast on.

Corbett's Daily Letter
On Great Sport Topics
BY JAMES J. CoRBETT

War Mask has developed into one of the
sensations of the turf. Since Johnny Dun
dee became his boss, War Mask has
started in nine races-and has never been
out of the money. He won three heats,
finished second in five others and ran
third on the other occasion. Three of his
defeats came in nose finishes with turf
critics alibing War Masks defeat by at
tributing it to poor jockeyship.
The winnings of War Mask in those
nine starts have been almost double the
purchase price of the horse. But that
isn't all.
About two weeks ago Bray wired Dun
dee from New Orleans:
This nag of yours is running like a
house on fire in his morning workouts.
have him entered in the Mediterranean
handicap. The only horse he has to beat
is Under Fire-and I think he will run
away from him. Go to it,
When Bray's telegram arrived Johnny,
ever a cautious youth with his money,
never hesitated. He bet healthy as
sortment of dollars on his horse. Just
how much he wagered is something that
Johnny alone-knows. But Johnny has
intimated that the total was 5000.
Johnny went further. BY telephone, in
person, or by telegram, he got into COM
municaton with all of his closest friends
and told them that War Mask was a
cinch in his next start. The boys hoped
to it and a proverbial ton of money was
wagered on Johnnys horse by Johnny $
friends.
Yes. War Mask won-with the rather
lucrative odds of 10 to s. which meant
a cleanup of close to $4,000 for Dundee
And that isn't all.
War Masks performance in the south
have been so spectacular that even the

cided in the spring and which will offer

THE NEWBERRY CLINIC.

The Herald and News has referred
several times to the Newberry clinic.
The doctors in charge are kept pretty
busy and the patients are increasing
and good results are following the
treatment.
DR.. L. w. Blake, who is in charge
of the clinic is a son Of Mr.. j. K.
Blake of Greenwood and a native of
South Carolina. He is a graduate of
the University of Maryland and spent
two years in the city hospital of New
York and was afterwards connected
with the State health department Of
New York. He was two years in the
medical department of the army over
seas and upon his return was again
connected with the State health de-
partment of New York. He also
served as assistant superintendent of
the general hospital of Massachu-
setts and has varied and valuable
experience in the work of the State
health departments and is peculiarly
fitted by experience and training for
the work with our State board of
health and the work in which he is
engaged in Newberry.
Mrs. Blake is a trained nurse and
has had valuable experience, having
served in hospital work while her
husband was overseas. She is a ma
tive of New York, but says she is
sure that she will be pleased with the
sunny South. The two make an ex-
cellent team.-Newberry Herald and

Notes From the Entomologist.

Clemson College, Sept. 30.-What-
ever method is employed against rats,
whether barytes, phosphorus, or traps
the important point is to use the
treatment on the entire premises at
the same time. Do not start at one
place with the intention of treating
one place after another because the
rats "get wise" and are then hard to
handle. Make the corn crib rat proof
by means of tin or wire screen. II
on pillars protect each pillar with a
tin shield. When a crib is properly
fumigated it will kill rats, mice, in.
sects, and all other vermin.
Remember the safety date fol

"THE NAUGHTY WIFE"

Coming from the Atlanta Theatre
where it scored one Of the most pro! /!
nounced hits Of any comedy seen in
that city in several seasons.
"The Naughty Wife,, the farce by
Fred Jackson, which will be present
ed by Selwyn and Company ut the
Opera House on this (Frday) even
ing, Octo. 3rd, is one Of the best
farces to reach the stage in years. It
has to its credit long and extremely
successful engagements in New York,
Chicago and Boston and is now
breaking all records in London, Eng
land. In each Of those cities, critics
were a unit in praising it and thea
tres crowded with delighted patrons
for months gave the best evidence
possible of their accord with what
had been said and written.
Once farce has been seen, it is not
hard to understand the enthusiasm
of those who sit and watch it. The
fun is continuous. Moreover, it ;is
good, wholesome fun that depends
more on the situations than anything
else. Not to say that the play is not
filled from start to finish with the
snappiest of dialogue, for it is. True
humor, however, has rightfully been
declared often to rest more on the
situation than the lines and no where
is that better illustrated than in
"The Naughty Wife,"

ment of Agriculture in cooperation
