JACKSON STARS WITH

Big Fellow Gets Single, Double
and Homer Out of Three
Times at Bat Tuesday

DAWSON, August 1.-Americus
defeated Dawson here yesterday
before one of the largest crowds
of the season by the score of 8
to z. 1t was Joe jackson S first
appearance on a Dawson diamond,
and the former big Lacquer proved
his worth as a arawlng cacd, a
great crowd being present to see
MIN perform, Notwithstanding a
heavy downpour during the morn
ing hours which made all roads
leading into Dawson slick, ana
doubtless kept many fans from at
tending the game.

himself trying to stretch his single
into a double, Duren to Nolan.
Daniels was out from Nolan to
Brannen, ending the inning.
Dawson scored again in the sixth
when Rosenfeld doubled to left.
VIM followed and flew out to
Brannen, who made a beautiful
catch, Rosenfeld going to third on
the play. Daniels hi ito Lindsey,
who threw the ball away over first,
Resented scoring. Webb fowled
out to Barnhart, who went into the
players bench and gathered in the
ball. Marquard had previously
been retired on a fly to Lindsey.
Americas scored first in the
fifth when two runners were
squeezed over the rubber. Hall

sacrificed by Nolan, who went out
at First, Rawson to Webb. Will

Playing Baseball And
Spelling It's Pleasure
BY LOVELACE EVE

ed from the stands by possibly
a hundred fans, maybe more,
during several innings.
At one time, a fan said some
thing which the preacher-um-
pire understood to be personal
insult. Calmly walking from the
diamond over to and into the
stands he asked if the remark
was intended as a personal in
suit. The reply was understood
to be that it was not so intend
ed. The umpire bowed and re-
sumed the game. During the
ninth inning, Rev. MIR. Turner
stopped the game long enough
to go back to the stands and
shake hands with the young man
he had approached earlier, say
ing to him: Il must have mis-
understood you and l offer you
an apology, if l did misjudge
you"
Rev. Mr.. Turner exhibited rare
manhood in that act, an act that
brought a goodly round of hand
clapping from the stands.
Clean, wholesome criticism
from the stands roofing for
ones teams greatly to be de-
sired. Differing with the UNI
pire on his decision, if done in
a gentlemaHy way, is part of
the game.
A decision of the umpire, if
wrong, is a question to be dis
cussed by the managers of the,
two teams and the umpire, and
that in calm, dispassionate
manner. 784
This story is not written as
a criticism Of Dawson, its play
ers or its fans, but with a de-
sire that it will cause the man
agements of the several teams
IN the circuit to call a halt here
and now to a very Objectionable
feature that soon may get out of
bounds.

Constant kicking on the part
of players at decision of the
umpire and disgraceful epithets
hurled from the grandstand are
unsportsmanlike and are objec-
tionable to 95 per cent of those
who pay to see a baseball game.
To the members of the Amer
icus team, we doff our hat.
Kicking at decisiIns has been
scrupulously avoided by Joe
Jackson's boys. Not once have
we heard ungentlemanly re-
marks come from the crowds at
the Americas games, or from the
Americas players.
Kicking at decisions of the
umpire will never win a game,
1t has lost games time and time
again. We believe that the
Americas fans lBuld rather have
a team losing and losing like
gentlemen and good sports, than
a bunch that haggled and fuss
ed and squabbled everytime the
F'breaks" did not break their way.
The continued kicking of some
of the members of the Dawson
team at decisions Of the umpire,
and the epithets yelled at him
from the stands must have been
embarrassing to- the splendid
people Of Dawson attending the
game there Tuesday AFTERNOON.
The Rev. Mr.. Turner, pastor
of the First Baptist church,
at Albany, had been induced to
umpire the game, Whether his
decisions were always correct
does not enter into the question.
He had been selected ~ the
Dawson management to umpire
and that settles Eat part Of it.
From the first, he was sub
jected to constant kicking from
a few of the Dawson players.

A girl came to know the arti.
fetal, both in the lights and in
the gilt. There was gold hidden
away in her life, ready to be
taken and held for the searching
But she caught the CLINT of the

A long time she spent in the
merry-go-round Of gilt. 1t was
her summer and she idled it
away, giving herself up to the
thin, yellow lure.
But an autumn Of illness came.
and then winter approached with
it's touch of death. She crept
back toward the gold, but 1t was
too late for more than a glimpse
of it-and that only through the
understanding Of another girl.
The girl was high born. OPP
portunity was all about her
chance for development, educa-

She threw it aside for a tramp

New York city. She opened a
little shop and sold odds and

buying for the crowd on others.
She became what her spirit
doubtless had craved in the lure
Of gilt-a fantastic celebrity in
written about her. Sightseers
asked :. to have her pointed out.
She was listened to by the people
of her own night.life and her
quips and WITNESSES were laughed
at.
But illness crept on her and her
vivacity fled. ane wasn't seen
about and Bohemia is too busy to
trouble about one who has fallen

that she was in the charity ward
Of the biggest hospital in the

Garrett P. Serviss Tells of Lessons
Learned from Mt. Etna's
Eruption
BY Garrett p. Serviss,


mand henceforth to make the soil
give him a living.
Around the base Of Etna, in a
band about mile in width dwell
900, 900 people, cultivators Of the
soil and it's products. Orange
and lemon trees abound up to-
height Of about 1900 feet. Then
comes a zone, rising another 1900
feet, which is clothed with vines,
amidst which flourish olives and
figs. Next higher and extending
to an elevation OF about 5000
feet, is a region of woods, con-
sisting mainly of chestnuts, oaks,
beeches and birches. Above that
begins the huge. denuded upper
body Of the mountain, which has
been compared to a catafalque
covered with black velvet and
adorned with silver trimmings.
Cause Of Miracle"
The crater cone rises 10,se3
feet above sea-level, and stand
ing alone, it seems, indeed, to
"buttress heaven" On a clear
morning it's well-defined shadow
can be seen from the summit
stretching cross the whole length

self. In the evening the lonely
shadow lies across the Straits Of
Messina and Is lost among the
distant mountains of Calabria.
Etna was the supreme natural
wonder Of the ancient world, as
ISOLATED with the legends of Poly
phemus. Empedocles, the Oxen Of
the Sun, the adventures Of Ulys-
ses. and many other scenes and
characters OF classic mythology.
The popularity OF human ma

recalled by the recent eruption,

steepness, they brought out the
veil Of st. Agatha and carried
1t in procession across the path
of the lava, expecting that it
would again, as it Is believed
to have done often in the past,
turn the molten stream aside.
The stream did divide and
leave the town Of Linguaglossa
safe between it's forks. It was
the old miracle repeated almost
in the smallest detail, as it had
occurred centuries ago at Ca

TINE eruption Of Etna. the great
est OF European volcanoes,
in June, recalls attention to
two peculiarities, one of nature
and the other Of human nature.
The first relates to the marvellous
fertility Of the ground surround
ing great active volcanoes, due to
the transformation into cultivable
soil Of the lava and associated min
eral matter, brought up from the
interior OF the earth by the erup-
tons.
No soil would ever become ex-
hausted II the mineral riches lying
beneath 1t could be brought to the
surface as rapidly as needed. In
this respect the volcano serves as
the deepest of deep soil plows. It
pours out over it's crater and its
crevassed TANKS enormous sup
plies Of fresh material that has
never felt the searching roots of
plants and whose virgin riches are
all at the disposal Of vegetation as
soon as the molten mass has be-
come cool. rigid and subject to the
disintegrating effects Of the at
mospheric agents.
While the uppermost parts Of
Tic NOlCdHO remain pare ana oar"
rem, the mineral virtues of the ex-
truded material are dissolved in
rain water and carried down the
broad flanks and across the SUI
rounding plains to enrich all the
ground that 1t reaches. The clouds
OF ashes that bury many square
miles Of territory prove a blessing
in the end, for they, too, bring
gifts Of fertility from the exhaust
less subterranean stores.
Towns Crowd Slopes.
The consequence is that Etna
and. on a smaller scale Vesuvius,
are encircled with productive fields
and gardens, which in many places
climb high on the slopes, making
wreath Of greenery and flowers
around the rough, SCARED head of
the volcano.
Gardens, villas and villages
crowd about the foot Of the noun
tain as they never crowd else
where, even in a river valley and
cities like Naples, near Vesuvius,
and Catania and Messina, which SIT
on the very instep of the giant
Etna, awaken the wonder Of the
beholder who knows how often
that giant has ruthlessly DESTROYED
them. But fertile ground has had
an irresistible attraction for man
ever since his first ancestor was
driven from Eden with the COM

Some men who seem courage
Gus are really only pig-headed.
Many good women are not wise,
but all wise women are good.
You can overlook downright silli-
ness In a girl If she IL pretty.
No task is harder for a girl than
growing into an old maid and Ad-

Charm In women goes the whole
distance, while Beauty drops back
at the half-mile post.
When a mans conscience gets
out Of repair, 1t is impossible to
