SPEAKING
BY Howe Evers
Clean Sweep for Norfolk

1AAAh
The Norfolk Giants made a clean
sweep of their three game series with
wildwood, running away with Thurs
DAYS game by a 9-3 count and nosing
ont the locals on Friday, rs. The
Giants also scored a 1912 victory about
three weeks ago.
Thursdays game was a joke. The
''Flags'' performed miserably, remind
ing me greatly of the average high
school team. Scull, starting on the
mound, was in poor shape, but might
have gotten through if he had been
accorded any kind of support. In the
three innings he pitched, the Giants
scored four runs on three hits and
seven errors. eddie" Bartlett fin
ished the game, allowing five counters
in the six innings he worked. The
locals were guilty of four more errors
behind him, making a total of II mis-
cues for the day. Six of these may
be charged to "Fritzie" Fox. Fox also
whitfield on three occasions. Hackman,
Null and Smith also Numbered afield.
winters, "Chappie' Johnson's leading
hurler, had Wildwood buncoed all the
way. 1t was an easy days work for
him.
7 went back Friday expecting to see
the farce repeated and was no little
surprised to see ED" Kelly's pro-
teges. with "Rube" Filler on the
mound, make the dusky warriors go
ten innings to gain a verdict. For the
first eight innings, given perfect sup
port, Filler pitched high class base
hall. But in the ninth, with the score
ga against them, the Giants smashed
ont three hits and tied it up. They
continued hitting Filler in the tenth
and added another marker, winning
the game. All the local runs were
scored on homers, Hackman, Moore,
Null and Kelly each connecting for a
circuit clout. Moore's smash came
with two on the paths.
viii the Worm Turn!
Next Thursday, August 18th, the
Cane May Court House Travellers ap-
near here in a return game against
wildwood. The Travellers played here
on July Sth, and with six Middle
Township High School players in
cluded in the lineup, defeated the
"Flags" 40. The result of Thursdays
game will depend, to a great extent
on Roy Scull's pitching. ScuHy is not
pitching the brand of ball that he ex-
hibited earlier in the season, due to
the fact that he is not playing regu-
larly. However, he is anxious to get
back at the aggregation that accorded
him such poor support against the
Norfolk Giants and it would mean
much to him if he could shut out Kel-
Tvs warriors a second time. Manager
Smith, of the county seaters, an
nounces that mis- lineup will probably
be as follows: l.. Watson, CT; Fisher
RI; Amarose, h.; Conover, IF; Hol-
lingshead, If; Scull, p; Garrison, SIS.
M. Watson, 3D.; Camp, C. h is prac-
tically the same team that faced the
locals before, there being only one
strange lace in the line-up-that OF

ing for the Court House American

Luck to You, Mayer!
l had quite finished my column
for this week but have just heard news
that has given me a severe jolt and
which 1 feel should be passed on to
Journal readers. The news, as l near
it, is that Mayer has been canned
in other words, that, whereas Wllo-
wood formerly had n high class
pitcher, she now has none. For
Mayer, decidedly, was the best OF the
bunch. I hear that he was canned"
Frankly, l don't believe it. l can be-
lieve, much more easily, that he quit.
Before he left he had not been sent to
the mound for nearly two weeks.
Previous to that he had hurled all the
important games. Given a rest, he
told me personally that he thought he
was being saved for one OF the Nor
folk games. But the Giants came and
Mayer didn't get his chance. Satur-
day, Waller got his bumps from the
lowly Notaseme Hosiery nine and was
yanked.s Kelly inserted himself and
pitched fairly we'll. But it was poor
system. Let pitchers pitch, and let
outfelders play the outfeld. 1t is
not the first time that ball players
have become disguised with Kelly's
methods. If Mayer was canned" the
management made a rare blunder. II
he quit, who could blame him? The
ex-Wildwood star, according to rela-
tives here for the summer, will pitch
for a prominent Philadelphia team.
Mayer was not more than twenty, had
a fine assortment of curves, plenty OF
confidence, good speed, and a winning
disposition. He was not the type that
one usually finds playing professional
baseball. Perhaps he was too good

MAN KILLED
Was NOT SON
OF Mr.. C(JN'TER
Mayor Middleton is in Re-
ceipt Of Letter From Mis-
sissippi Man Regarding
Dead Body Of Stranger.
From Saturdays Daily

Mayor Middleton is in receipt OF
a letter from j. l.. Gunter of Eupora,
Mississippi, announcing that the man
who was killed by a train between
Marmaduke and Halliday about the
first of November was not his son
as he supposed after coming to Para
sgould and having the body eXhumed
at the cemetery He writes the
Paragould mayor that he has just
received a letter from his son and
that he is well and getting along all
right.
1t will be remembered that the
man killed by the Cotton Belt
freight was approximately 35 years
of age. He was struck by a south
bound train and the scene OF the
accident was a short distance north
of Halliday. The engineer of the
freight saw the stranger in a
crouching position alongside the
track but his train was going at
such high rate of speed he was
unable to avert his engine striking
the unfortunate fellow. The man was
rendered unconscious. The train
crew picked him up and brought
him to, the sanitarium where he
died few days later.
Particulars of the accident were
published in this and other news
papers and Mr.. Gunter, at Eupora,
Mississippi, conceived the idea that
the victim was that of his son who
had disappeared from home. The
dead mans body answered to the
description of his boy. He came to
Paragould and had the body eXhumed
from Potter's field and expressed
himself as being fully convinced
that the remains were those of his
son. Marks on the body served as
Identification, he thought. SO fully
convinced that he was correct in
his identification of the body, Mr..
Gunter had decided to institute
legal proceedings against the rail-
way company for damages, but had
not filed his complaint.
The father is now convinced that
he was in error and has so written
the Paragould mayor His boy is
a registered pharmacist and perhaps
is at work at his profession. The
father failed to state where his
son was located. Mr.. Gunter, the
father, is marshal and tax collector
at Eupora, Miss.

HOLDS THAT BIZ,
SUM IN COUNTY
SCRIP Is Void
J u d g c of independence
County Declares That In
terest-Bcarillg Warrants
Are Not Legal.

BatesvilIe, Dec. 3.--The three
Batesville banks, which since 1917
have cashed total of $62, 1888
in county scrip at par, will lose
the entire amount unless the ruling
of County Judge 7. A. Gray of
Independence county, is reversed by
higher court. Judge Gray has
held that the scrip is null and void,
as it bears eight per cent interest
in violation of a section Of the
state constitution which provides
that a county cannot issue interest
bearing warrants. The scrip was
issued during the incumbeney of
former County Judge J. II. Jamerson,
1t is said.
To determine the county's indebt-
edness, Judge Gray issued an order
calling in all outstanding scrip It
was found that the three local
banks had entered into an agree
ment in 1917 with the County Quo
rum Court to cash the county's war
rants at par, receiving eight per
cent interest. At the time the in
terest-bearing scrip was issued, coun-
ty warrants were worth only from
65 to IS cents ons the dollar. With
the banks paying par for the war
rants, it was believed that their
value would soon reach par. How
ever, they failed to increase in value,
it is said, and this summer the
banks ceased cashing them at par.
Taxpayers File Suit.
The ruling Of Judge Gray follow
ed the hearing Of suit brought
by w. F.. Sullivan and 0. A. Nc
Kinney, as taxpayers, who objected
to the reissuance of the scrip held
by the banks. They contended that
the warrants were wrongfully and
illegally issued, and their conten-
tions were upheld by the court
The banks, in presenting the
scrip or resistance, contended that
they had cashed the warrants for
various citizens of the county at face
value, under an agreement with the
Quorum Court, and that the scrip
represented just Indebtedness of the
county, because the county had re-
ceived the benefit of the money paid
for the warrants. The banks made
no demand for interest, but urged
that the warrants be recognized as
legitimate claims against the county
at their face value.
''The court is not without knowl-
edge of the equities OF some of mat
ters involved herein," says the
courts decision, and appreciates
the injustice which seems to result
to petitioners, the banks, but In
refusing to REISSUE said scrip OF
interest-bearing warrants now out
standing in whomsoever's hands
they may now be, and the same is
hereby rejected for re-issuance, and
that same be Cancelled as null and
void and Of no effect"
