MERCHANT AND {
NEGRO IN DUEL.

NOOULluuEu II IO4It age ShCg
Sakadelis, thieves have been enter
ing his grocery and soda fountain
near the Seaboard passenger sta
ton recently, stealing small
amounts in cash and an undeter-
mined quantity of merchandise on
each occasion. These intrustons were
reported to hte police, and, it is
said, Sakadelis was advised by Off
GERS to watch his store closely.
Saturday night at the usual clos
ing hour Sakadelis closed his
doors and remained inside the build
ing. Shortly after midnight he
heard a widnow open and Williams
appeared in the store. Stealthily
the negro CROPPED his way in the
darkness toward the cash register
which he had nearly reached when
Sakadelis commanded him to halt.
Williams apparently needed the
command, and Sakadelis moved to
the telephone, preparing to notify
police headquarters of his capture.
AS he lowered his gun, Williams
fired the bullet striking Sakadelis
in the abdomen. Although stun
ned by the bullet Sakadelis regain
ed his shotgun and fired, the charge
striking Williams and causing
death. Williams, as he fell, fired
another shot at Sakadelis, and his
weapon was found beside the body
when Officer Curtis, summoned by
the wounded merchant, reached the
scene.
The dead negro was formerly en-
ployed at the Americas fire depart
ment, and recently served as chauf-
feur for well-known family here,
having been considered a fairly
trustworthy negro by those who
knew him. 1t is now believed the
negro had led a double life during
years, serving whites faithfully dur
ing the day and at night being a
thief and burglar.
Officer Curtis, who is regularly
assigned to traffic duties, answer
ed the phone at headquarters, and
when informed of the shooting
by Sakadelis went Immediately
there, leaving "a fireman to secure
other information over the phone
from the wounded Greek merchant.
He reached the scene within a few
minutes after the killing occurred
and was instrumental in summoning
medical assistance for the wound
ed man. When Sakadelis phoned
headquarters he knew nothing of
the condition of his antagonist and
being himself wounded feared fur.
Their shooting might ensue.

His Circular Picturing ]. ]. Brown
AS An Octopus Is Untrue.
of Georgia:

Citizens of Georgia:
My opponent is handing out a libelous
circular wherein it is falsely charged that
the department of agriculture is costing
annually twice as much as is the truth as
is shown over the signature Of the Audi
tor of the State. His circular contains
other false items which are completely at
variance with the Auditors report. When
confronted with the facts in joint debate
my opponent admitted the falsity of the
charges contained in the circular The
truth of the matter is that this depart
ment, after paying all operating ex-
penses, turns into the treasury Of the
State annually over $500,000.O0. Not
cent derived from adj valorem taxes goes
to pay the expenses of the department.
Both branches of the Georgia Legisla-
ture this session unanimously adopted
the report of the Legislative investigating
committee wherein the administration Of
the department of agriculture was com
pletely indicated.

Several Clubs Anxious
To- Ira de For,
Pitcher ShOcker
BY NEA Service

BY NEA Service
st. Louis, Nov. l3.-Urban Shocker,
generally considered the smartest
pitcher in the American League, Is
said to be on the market.
Report has it that the st. Louis
Browns would listen TO any trade
talk that would give that club any
thing like fifty-fifty break.
Shocker. it will be remembered,
did not sign with the Browns until
just before the opening of the sea-
son. He had asked Judge Lands to
declare him . free agent, because
he had been heavily fiend for in
sisting on taking his wife on an
eastern trip Of the club.
No doubt Shockcr did not have his
heart in his work last year because
Of this trouble. The seasons re-
cord would make. it seem that way.
Shocker, it is said, would like to
play for his old manager, Lee Foil.
No doubt George Sisler would listen
to u trade that would give him
Howard Ehmke. 1t is doubtful ii
he would be interested in any one
else on the Red SoS club.
Several other American League
clubs no doubt will try to outbid
Boston if Shocker is placed on the
market.

which delivery to expect? A trfle
bewildering at best.
There have been ambidexterous
pitchers in baseball but none Of Their,
ever made any marked progress. 1t
seems to be no trick at all for bat
ter to change from right to left. as
frankie frisch Of the Giants does,
for example, but it's something else
again with the pitchers.
OF even greater rarity is the am
bideXterous golfer. We have seen
Joe kirkwood play several trick
shots left handed but the records
fail to disclose any top. ranking play
er who was impartially gifted with
either hand. Whether this could be
turned into an advantage is IL pro.
blem.
Generally n golfer is reluctant ia
! try anything different if he is going
we'll, and when adversely does sug-
gfst that he make change he
promptly proceeds to 60 worse
So maybe that's why we have NJ
