RECOLLECTION

will remember you
With longing and vain regret,
/ will remember you
And ever my heart will fret
For the sight of face that is lost to view
But l shall not forget!
4
will remember you
Whatever the road you take.
Though you should go to the end Of the world
For fame or fortunes sake
There is tie between us two
Which only yourself can break!
l will remember you
In spite of the years that flee.
My thoughts will follow you day by day,
Wherever you chance to be,
And when, in fields and in pastures new,
You have forgotten me. }
/ will remember you
AS long as the rivers flow,
AS long as the spring shall bring the flowers
Or winter shall bring the snow.
Or till you pay me that fifty bucks
You borrowed a year ago!

MUSIC

Just 900 years ago, in 1923, thu
monk, Guido, invented the methoC
of writing music on paper, Be
fore Guido, music could be circu
lated from one person to another
only by ear. Guido invented The
system of recording musical notes
on lines, in about the same form a.
modern sheet music.
We owe much to Guido, the
Benediction. Incidentally, wher
he brought out his discovery hi
had a hard time overcoming sus
picion and ridicule. Such is thu
history of all new things, especial
ly new ideas.

Was BIQke'S
Joe Jackson
Bv R. c. MORAN.

Certain adverse criticism of
Joe Jackson, appearing recently
in an Atlanta newspaper, is not
shared by Americas fans. There
are those who agree with any
thing slanderous that is said or
written about anybody anywhere
any time But this item deals
not with these, but rather with
the great body of baseball en-
thusiasts who support and sustain
the Americas baseball team. And
these it should be said, are prac-
tically a unit in their admiration
of the big Lacquer who has been
signed to play here.
In reckless enthusiasm or dur
ing a moment of wrought up
emotion, a writer will occasional
ly give expression to regretta-
Bile thoughts, but Morgan Blake's
article in Sundays Atlanta Jour
nal criticizing and presuming to
analyze the standing of Joe Jack
son before the fans of the South
Georgia circuit is positively in
excusable in eyes Of those who
know the man. 1t may even be
said that little credit has been
given the profession of journal
ism by this apparently uncalled-
for and reckless attack upon a
man who just now is the great
est drawing card in the baseball
circuit of which Americas forms
a unit.
Leaving Jackson out of the
question altogether, to Americas
fans, the Blake article resem-
bles as much an attack upon the
honesty and integrity Of purpose
of the managers of the team, as
upon the player named. Few
Americas men stand higher in
business and social circles here
than Tom Bell, Nathan Murray,
Rufus Lane, Duke" Crockett,
and the others who have elected
to make Jackson manager Of the
Americas baseball team, and who
are responsible to the fans for the
plane upon which the game, is
now being conducted over the en-
tire circuit. These Americas
gentlemen know something about
the men who constitute the team,
and the fans here have faith in
their integrity - whatever any
writer may think or say to me
contrary.
This article is no attempt to
analyze or discuss the charges
made against Jackson during the
neriod of scandal mongering fol-
lowing the worlds series between
Chicago and Cincinnati severa!
wears ago. Don't misunderstood
ANYTHING written here. These
charges were all pretty well air
ed at that time. Jackson was
tried before the criminal courts
and acquitted of charges made
against him there.

one man is both Judge and jury
and where the defendant is not

In medal play if the player far
Their from the hole believes the ball
of his opponent, which is the nearer
may handicap him in his putting,
can he request his opponent to lift
his ball?
A player has the right to ask his
opponent to either life or play his
ball as he chooses.
Two players. in a match game
reach the putting green on the sec
ond shot. The one a trifle nearer
the hole puts first and holes out.
This being contrary to the rule,
what attitude should be assumed by
his opponent relative to the play?
If an opponent who is nearer the
hole plays first, you may recall his
stroke and make him replace his
ball and wait until you have putted
Is there a time limit on trying
to find a lost ball?
There is a definite time limit to
look for ball. A player has five
minutes in which to find the ball.
Failing to do so in that time, it
must be considered a lost bali.
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1923-07-24
Attack On
Justified?

permitted to be represented by
trained counsel, he was convict
ed and banished from organized
baseball ranks. The penalty put
upon Jackson by the baseball au-
thorities is a heavy one. 1t would
be difficult to calculate the
monetary loss sustained, to say
nothing of the tremendous men
tai suffering caused by reasoA
of, the decision. To proud,
we'll educated person the effect
of such a blow would be well nlgh
indelible.
And if every word contained
in Blake's article be true, chere
remains therein one expression,
which coming from one who IS
presumably a college graduate,
cannot be justified by any man
ner of reasoning with which the
writer is familiar.
If Blake really believes, as he
says he does, in the forgive
ness of sins" and the doctrine
of another chance" he certain
lv lacks a finer sense of manhood
that has characterized Americans
since the foundation of the re-
public. Reference to Jackson as
IAN ignorant, illiterate fellow"
may seem proper to Blake, but
there are a great many here who
fail to share his views in the
premises.
A man is not blamed for his
primal condition in life. An edu-
cation is something person ac-
quires during the years as he
grows into mans estate. To
those who had poor parents the
road to a college education in
the day when Joe jackson was
a youth, was indeed, hard to
travel. Education is something
every person should seek dill
gently and acquire in abundance,
for without education life's prob
lens are, indeed, difficult of So
luton. But there is high and
UODIe pldIle VI tcuuSibIOti LiieAC
some men, however many degrees
they earn, never attain. The man
who possesses the mental equi-
poise of a judicial mind is really
the superior person. Few such
would be guilty of attacking any
man as Morgan Blake has
Joe Jackson, and deep down in
the writer's heart at this very
moment lies the thought that
Blake would erase his words, if
he could, and blot out from mem
ory's pages all recollection of the
evil thought that prompted his
pen. Anyway, the writer. is char
table enough to believe such is
the case.
Joe Jackson may not be classed
as an Educated Man," but he
is intelligent. Possibly he could
not make a speech, or write a
sport story, but he knows base
ball. He has mastered his profess
sion and he uses his brain as eff
fectively as his bat.

TOO MUCH JACKSON
WINS FOR ANERICUS.
Baseball Genius of Former Big
Lacquer Credited With Win
ming First Game End Half

ALBANY. July 24.-Too much
Joe Jackson caused Americas to
beat Albany here Monday after
noon, 5 to 4, in the first game OF
the second half in the South Geor-
gia circuit.
The former White Sox star
poled out a homer in the fourth
inning that scored one man aheaa
of him. this being the first hit
that Americas made on Shaky
Kahn, youthful Albany hurler.
In the ninth inning, with Amer
icus one run behind, Jackson
crossed the Albany infield by lay
ing down a perfect bunt that adj
vanced the tying run to third. A
hit tied thu score, and moment later
Jackson crossed the plate with the
winning run on an infield out.
Kahn really outpitched Wingard,
University of Alabama boy, but
the Americas players took better
advantage of their hits than did
the Albay players. The game
was one of the best ever played
on the Albany diamond, rebound
ing sparkling plays and exciting
situations. The crowd was the
third largest of the season, being
surpassed only by the opening day
and Fourth of July crowds.
Albany scored one in the first
inning. Reed walked. Cooper flew
out to leftfield Eldridge's pop fly
fell safe back of the pitchers box
for a hit and Reed reached second.
r. Mccullough went out, short to
first, advancing each runner a base,
Mitchell was hit by a pitched ball,
filling the bases. Kimbrell shot a
single past third and Reed scored.
Americas went ahead in the
fourth inning. Nolan walked, be-
ing the first Americas batter to
reach first base. Williams forced
Nolan to second. Elmore struck
out. Jackson hit a high fly over
left field fence, scoring Williams.
Americas scored another in the
fifth inning. Lindsey hit one too
hot for Reed to handle. Duren
flew out to rightfield. Vineyard
singled to center and Mitchell let
the ball get through his legs, Lind
sey scoring.
Albany scored one in the sixth
inning. Eldridge doubled to left
and went to third on T. McCul-
lough's infield out. Mitchell sin
gled to center and Eldridge scored.
Albany took the lead in the
seventh by scoring two runs. c.
Mccullough singled to right and
scoled when Kahn doubled to cent
err. Reeds infield out advanced
Kahn to third Cooper walked.
Eldridge scratched a hit past the
pitcher and Kahn scored. .'
Americas won the game in the
ninth inning. Elmore bounced one
off Cameron's shins for a two
base hit, the ball caroming into
left field. jackson beat out a
bunt down the thirdbase line and
Gilmore went to third. Brannon
shot a single past firstbase and
Eimore scored, jackson stopping at
third. Wade went out, second to
first and Jackson scored.
The Americas team looked tt
the Albany fans like the fastest
outfit that has played here this
year, and predictions We're rife that
it will easily win the last half,
grabbing as many games as it
cares to win. Unless the other
teams of the circuit are greatly
strengthened, locals fans believe
the contest will be too uneven to
be interesting. Albany's team,
which won the first half, played
brilliant baseball at times, but not

"ME AND BUDDY" ATE
ONE THOUSAND FISH

"Me and my buddy can eat thous-
and of them.'' was the surprising
statement of a resident of the fishing
shore section Of one of the Virginia
counties bordering on the Potomac
river when he witnessed a small haul
one afternoon.
you and your buddy can eat a
thousand Of 'em?" asked one of a
party of farmers waiting to get a
load of fish to put away for winter
use.
who is your buddy?'
The man who had made the boast
had been heard to indulge in extrava-
CANT conversation before and the
gathered farmers concluded they
would call what they termed his bluff.
Fifty dollars was the amount of the
wager. and the following Tuesday
was the time fixed for the eating.
The thousand fish were piled near the
steamboat landing and the man whose
buddy was to assist in the eating OF
them appeared on the appointed hour.
Just cook a hundred of EN-" he
said, 'and leave the nine hundred
uncooked ones where they are"
But where's your buddy?" impa-
tient bystanders chorused.
The hundred herring were cooked
and the bell of the fishing shore an
nounced everything in readiness for the
feast.
'Is that your buddy" asked the
man interested to the amount of $50
in the transaction. You call that
your buddy?"
Sure" was the response.
They were talking about 300
pound SOW that had had nothing to
eat since the day the wager was
placed, and me and buddy" sue
ceeded in a successful performance
of the disappearing act.
