POLO GROUNDS BREEDS
FLUKE HOME RUNS

However, it is possible to get more
fluke home runs at the Polo Grounds
than on any other major league park
! have ever worked.
Right here / want to say in be
half of Babe" Ruth that he has
profited only slightly as result of
such a condition. 1 have on the
very best of authority that only
three home runs made by him at the
Polo Grounds this year have been
of a flukey nature That is, balls
that just cleared the stand at the
shortest point in right field, hit
that would have been outs On the or
binary ball park.
These unusual conditions at the
Polo Grounds very often result in a
game being decided other than on
its merits. AS a matter of fact a
four-run lead is nothing to brag OF
at the Polo Grounds. | have seen
such leads wiped out almost in a
twinkling of an eye, by couple OF
passes, an error, and then high
fly to right or left, which barely
cleared the stands, while the fielder
stood watching the course of the

Saturday Big Day For
Americus Movie Fans

The Rylander theater broke all
local attendance records Saturday,
when the crowds almost reached the
1000 mark.
Manager Emory RyIander said
Monday that the attendance was
more than 1,90C and came very
close to the two thousand mark.
The Last Of the Mohicans," with
the Harold Lloyd comedy, presented
an cTceIIently balanced program
that delighted every one, both the
children and their elders.
The big new organ was used eff
fectively Saturday by Miss CeciIa
Ryals, adding greatly to the picture.
Miss RyaIs demonstrated her ability
as q musician in the handling Of the
new organ, upon which she had
practically no time for practice. She
will continue the use Of both the
piano and the organ, it is understood.
Saturday was a regular movie day
in the city. Manager McCOrd
Prather Of the Alcazar entertained
his usual Saturday crowd, and Man
ager Dudley, at the opera house, had
rood crowds. In fact, more people
saw movies in Americas Saturday
than have ever witnessed screen en-
tcrtainment before in Americas on
one day.

LIVED ON CEREALS
NEARLY TWO YEARS

there was a continual burning in my
chest. Gas would form terribly and
cause me to have a heavy, bloated-up
feeling for hours afterwards. My
back also panied me great deal and
it seemed the more medicine l took
trying to get relief, the worse off
l became.
Several weeks ago a friend advis-
ed me to try Tanlac, and while /
thought it might help me Temporal
rily had no idea it would completely
put an end to my troubles like it has.
Why, l have gained back all my lost
weight and am simply feeling fine.
My appetite is as good as I could
want and l am no longer bothered
with gas, bloating or pains. In fact,
| can eat anything l ever could in my
life without a sign of indigestion. My
back does not pain me at all and to
make long story short, l was never
in better health. I am pleased to
endorse Tanlac, for I've found it is a
medicine that can be depended on for
results"

ACT ON LIBRARY
Request For More
Money Goes Over
A Month

The board of county commission
ers met in regular session Monday
morning, but 1t did not take it long
to dispose Of current matters and
adjourn, this being the first time i
had finished its session before noon
il many months.
The only matter of importance
coming before the board it was re-
ported, was the appearance of del
egation of members of the city Il
brary commission, requesting that
the commissioners come to the res
cua of the Carnegie public library
with an appropriation of $50 instead
of $25 per month, as at present, to
help save the library from being
{, sed down for lack Of money to pay
operating expenses. Those wac
went before the board were Frank
and Thomas Harold, Frank and
! In Sheffield, R. J. Perry, Chas. L.
Ansley and Capt. John A Cobb. Il
was pointed out to the commission
ers that the country people use the
library extensively, particularly the
county school children. Instances
were cited in which important use is
made by the children Of the books
for reference, the Plains school be
ing mentioned. 1t was recalled that
education plays an important part in
the present-day and must not be
curtailed in Sumter county. The
value of the library to the children
as well as the pleasure it affords
grown ups was stressed.
The board tabled the request for
the present, it being understood that
it will be considered and probably
disposed of at the next meeting. The
delay was a matter Of great disap-
pointment to the library board.

Of this city. -Four brothers and six
sisters, residing throughout the west,
also survive.
Mr.. Mayo was one of the oldest
and best known residents Of Amerj-
Gus, where he had spent a long and
useful life. Having been born and
reared in this community, he was
closely identified with all the in
terests, civic, fraternaI and religious
of the city, and was widely beloved
for his splendid characteristics and
gentleness of manner. He was rs
gears of age, and because Of failing
health, had given up his connection
with the Harris Hardware interests
four years ago. He had been sick at
his home for the past three weeks.
He was a faithful member Of Cen
trail Baptist Church, having many
years ago identified himself with
that church, of which he was one of
the most consistent members. He
was also a Confederate veteran,
having served faithfully throughout
the four years of the conflict. 1t
was a pleasant incident in his last
years that his health permitted his
attendance at the Confederate re
union held in Dallas, Texas, several
years ago.
Mrs. j. W. Harris, Jr., whom he
had known since her infancy, sang
the songs he loved at the service.
The floral offerings were many and
beautiful, attesting to the very high
esteem in which he was held in this
community.

MIGHT LEARN FROM FRENCH
American Writer of Opinion There Are Things Ills Countrymen Could
 Profitably Absorb.

They are a wonderful folk. these French, and there is no people from whom Americans can learn more of the art of living. While we, with our high rents, are harassed by the ques- tion of where to live, they, in spite of their high rents, think only of how to live. We would do well to spend less thought on the abode and more on the mode. We could learn from them to forget our national timidity and to dis cover our next-door neighbors, says a writer in Lesie's.
 The contrast between the excited buzz and chatter and gayety that strikes one on entering even the most homely French restaurant and the frightened and tremulous whispering thrown in between long intervals of dogged eating that goes on in our own restaurants Is enough to shame any good American. We could learn from them to put aside our little pamphlets on Facts About Sugar" long enough to enjoy the beauty of a hilside-and still make enough money out of the sugar business.
 Our shopkeepers could learn that politeness does not drive away trade. We could have learned, alas, how to drink and how not to drink behind wing-dOors, or too strongly or too much. The American business man who hopes to do business with the French must learn to deal with for eigners as we'll as they do and not to look upon what seems to him an ex- aggerated politeness as a rich bit of comedy, fault of which our business men are, unfortunately, too often guil- ty.
