the Leesburg sports had guaranteed
the West Pointers $4,000 to win
three straight games from Leslie.
This report was not confirmed, but
that Leesburg was deeply interested
was shown by the following, appear
ing in yesterdays Albany Herald:
can indication of the heavy ex-
pense Leesburg has gone to in pro-
viding for this series was found Sat
urday afternoon in a request made
by the baseball management there of
the local representative of L1oyds
for insurance against rain on the Sc
ries. The risk could not be under
written for the reason that the appli-
cation was not made sufficiently far
in advance"
Following is the story of yester

to their feet. Clark popped to Nor

Third Inning.
Floyd was easy, Deavours to Bass.
Cooke, whom the Leslie management
said had promised to play with Les

minute on an excuse that he was i'll,
came to bat in a Leesburg uniform

Leslie rooters. Parker ended the
half, Jenkins to Bass.

LEESBURG IMPORTS WEST POINT
TEAM And TRIMS LESLIE ST.
Rival Towns Meet in Three-Game Series, With
First One Taken by Strong
Semi-Pros

LESLIE, Aug. 19-Leesburg
thirsting for revenge on the Leslie
baseball team, which heretofore had
beaten the best paid teams that
town could assemble, tasted victory
here yesterday when she imported in
toto the strong Atlantic Steel team
from West Point, one of the fastest
semi-pro organizations in this Sec
ton. The score was 81, due to a
single bad inning on the part of Jen,
kins, Leshe's boy pitcher imported
for the occasion.
1t was battle royal. The Lees
burg fans, bent on winning from
Leslie, had sent word that the West
Point team had been secured and
was on hand with large delegation
of Lee county fans to back it. Les
lie, too, was we'll represented with
fans of both sexes. And there was
plenty of enthusiasm on both sides:
Eager to see the clash, number OF
Americas baseball lovers were pres
ent also.
The team that Leslie faced, and
which bore the name of Leesburg,
contained not one Leesburg man
The nearest approach was Steve
Cooke, of Dawson, who appeared IN
center field. The remainder OF the
outfit was from West Point. At first
base the fans recognized Hal Griffin.
who played that position for Amerl-
Gus in the old Georgia State league.
Behind the bat was Carl Eubanks
who PLAYED for Cordele in the same
organization. On the mound was
Parker, a short, stalky hurler, I'M
known here but good one. Why ne
should have been taken out in the
sixth inning, when he was going good
was a mystery to the spectators, un-
less it was planned to save him TO
start again today.
Leslie appeared with the old home
town lineup unchanged, except Tor
two positions, Culverhouse, of Macon,
being brought in to fill center field
because of Ned Johnson's bad arm,
and Sal jenkins of Edison, Gordon In
stitute's star boy hurler of the spring
season, appearing on the mouno.
Jenkins hurled an excellent game, ex-
cept for one inning, which cost the
contest.
It was the opening of three
game series for blood between these
teams, the second contest being play
ed in Leesburg today and the third
in Leslie Wednesday. "Red" Thomp-
son, of Cochran, will probably pitch
Wednesday for Leslie, but no an
was made of the starter
in today's game.
The story which reached the Les
lie fans, and resulted in material for
frequent use by the rooters, was that

ned. Parker was looking mighty
good.
Fourth Inning.
Mize laid down bunt in front of
the plate, which Catcher johnson
fielded with lightning speed; throw
ing him out at first. Griffin hit safe
ly to left field for Leesburg's first
hit, but was forced at second by
Smith. Smith stole second, but En-
banks made the third out, Jenk ins to
Bass.
Bass was out when Morris made a
spectacular running catch of his fly
deep behind the second baseman's
position. Culverhouse and Walter
Johnson famed.
Fifth Inning.
Deavours juggled Morris ground
and then let it roll beyond him while
the runner was safe. Fits sacrificed
and Floyd's long fly to left field sent
him to third on the throw-in. Sum-
erford took the throw, well short of
the third base and turning quickly
tossed it to third in an effort to beat
the runner, but the base was uncov-
cred and Morris scampered home on
the error for the first run. Cooke
popped to Deavours.
Roy Johnson grounded out, Nor

GHOST GETS THE DEVIL FOR A PARTNER AT THE BALL

How ever neither the devils nor the pump kins possessed the savage appearance of the cats whose grin almost terrified the spectators. Who would not fear a display of white, saw pointed teeth :? Japanese lanterns were suspended from the paper dome giving the hall a very odd and mysterious appearance. What could be more fitting for the occasion?
 At nine o'clock the people began 70 flock into the building as such rap id rate that the hall was crowded within an hour. When the music filled the air, the floor was occupied by many wierd, mystifying creatures who did not resemble the human race in any way.

AIRPLANE SERVICE TO
 BE ESTABLISHED

James P. Holman wllo registered
 at the Overland Hotel last night ar
 rived on the s. s. Northwestern from
 Seattle on his way to Anchorage ana
 other, interior points to gather data
 ana ether information about a propos-
 ed mai: service by airplane from Sew
 to interior points. One route contem- plated is that between Seward and
 Fairbanks with landing station at Anchorage. Another will start from
 Valdez and cover a distance as far as
 Nome. The type of plane to be used Is the, large mono-plane now in use ,rn Finland and other European countries and in many of the cities throughout the states. The plane is equipped with apparatus which enables it to start from and land on snow or ice withous experiencing any handicap. MT. Hol- may is confident that the routes will be established on or before the 1st of the coming year and that when once inaugurated will prove sueeeas. ln- terior points in Alaska and Nome will be able to get mail during the winter months and the large number of pao- pie who winter at these places will be kept in touch with out side news as re- gularly as those who live along the rail road and coast towns. MT. Holman when he returns will be able to give the people of Seward reliable informa- ton as to the plans and future out look of this proposed air route which If ru: irto effect will undoubtedly prove a success.
