QUARTERLY REPORT
FOR CHARITIES HERE
Mrs. c. J. Sherlock Submits
Statement Showing E.xpendi-
lures of $145.50

Mrs. c. ]. Sherlock today made
public figures contained in her
quarterly report as secretary of
the Associated Charities organiza-
ton Of Americus. The figures
show she expended for various pur-
poses a total of $145.50, this be-
ing distributed as follows:
T Groceries, $6215; wood, $40;
colored hospital fees, $40;
railroad fares furnished un-
deslrables, SIS; mattress for
sick white woman, $3.50; medicines
furnished sick persons, $5.8j.
Amount remaining in bank to cred
it Of association June so, $69.01.
An outstanding feature of the
report is the small total Of expendi-
lures which indicate little pauper-
ism exists in this community, with
only nominal distress, considering
the population. 1t is not to be
understood, however, that the la
dies have all the money necessary
to conduct their work. Reference
is made to the small total expendi-
lures chiefly as directing attention
to the economy practiced in the
administration Of money entrusted
to them, and to the results attain
ed through its judicious expendi-
lures,

FAMOUS BATTING AND

PLAY HERE TUESDAY
"TelI the Fans to Come Expect
ing 20 See jackson in Action"
Says Manager Bell
GIBSON OUT AS SECRETARY
Matter Put Up to Judge Lands
in Telegrams Asking Opinion
Regarding Outlaw Player

NGBdE Cling SSGElGW Ad yC5
A row that threatens to entirely
disrupt the recently formed South
Georgia circuit has developed here
with the announcement that Joe
jackson, famous outlaw big leag-
uer, has been signed to play with
Americus. The former Chicago
White Sox player, will report here
Tuesday afternoon, and according
to Manager Thomas L. Bell, Jack
son will either play or Americus
will refuse to put team in the
field.
"The fans can come expecting to
see Jackson in action" said Bell
at noon today, notwithstanding
any action that may be taken by
the directors of the South Georgia
circuit"
According to information
brought here earlier by Rufus
Lane, director of the Americus
club, a meeting of league directors
was held in Albany Sunday at
which vehement protest against
Americus playing Jackson was
made. According to Lane, the
league directors have taken the
position that jackson having been
outlawed in organized baseball by
the decision of Judge Lands, 9th
er players in this circuit cannot
play with him. 1t is claimed, how
ever, that this circuit bang out
side of organized baseball no OBJ
lection can be made to playing
anybody so long as the rules Of the
organization are 2bided by.
Telegrsphs Landis.
Dan L. Gibson, of Albany, secre-
tary of the circuit, today stated
he had telegraphed Judge Lands,
asking his opinion concerning the
of Jackson to play with
other players in this circuit as re
CARDS their standing if later they
enter organized ball. No reply to
this message has yet been receiv-
ed.
jackson, it is stated, has recently
been playing at Bastrop, La; in
with Eddie Cicotte, Buck
Weaver, Rosenberg and one or two
other players who were suspended
from organized baseball ranks in
connection with the famous world
series scandal several years ago
in Chicago when they were mem
bers of the White Sox team.
May Reverse Vote.
In talking with a Times-Record-
er man over the phone this morn
ing, Dan L. Gibson stated that
should q satisfactory reply be re-
ceivcd from Judge Landis it is
probably Albany will withdraw OBJ
lection to Jackson playing with the
team, but it is not known
whether this course will be fol-
lowed by other teams in the cir
cult. Gibson explained that AL
bany's objection to Americus play
ing Jackson is based on the ground
that Jack Slappey, star mounder
for that team, will go back into
