Manager Fort Wayne, Central League Team, Former Third Baseman of The Chicago Club and Brooklyn. (Written by Hugh S. Fullerton.) I had the luck to have a small part in what I believe to be the greatest play ever made on a ball field, although ' Joe Tinker, and Johnny Evers made the play. My part of it was to catch the ball and complete the thing, al though I always have wondered that I didn't forget to catch it through sheer wonder. I was as much surprised at the play as any of the spectators could have been, and hardly could keep from applauding Tinker and Evers my self when it was over. The play was pulled off in a game with Philadelphia. The Cubs were making their first bid for a pennant, although we did not win out that season; and we were fighting hard. It was the first time in many years that the team ever had a chance and we were giving every one a fight., The game was in early September while we still had a chance and the score was 3 to 2 in our favor, with a runner on second base and no one out. We had moved in, expecting a bunt, and I was close, while Tinker had edged up closer and closer across the dirt almost to the edge of the grass. Magee was the runner at second, and I think John Titus was hit ting. Anyhow, instead of laying down the bunt as we expected him to do, he whaled away at the ball and sent a hard bounder a few feet to the shortstop's side of second base. If Tinker had been playing back where he us - ually plays he could have stopped the ball without much trouble, but he was so close in that he didn't seem to have a chance. It JAMES ("DOC) CASEY. coked a certain base hit, and Magee wasn't even going at top speed. I think he was slowing up and swinging out of the line a bit so as to make the turn at third without losing ground. Tinker was going with the ball as hard as he could when he reach ed out, grabbed it and hung on, although he was staggering, There wasn't a chance for him to straighten up and throw Titus out at first as his back was to ward the plate, and besides, he was staggering. I heard Evers irall on1 lflra a flaoli TPirtlro fi-vaa ed the ball to Evers and then plunged on with ' his face in the trraoa T rl rln't Innlr fnr n nlnu j at all, but the moment Evers got I his hands on the ball he shot it j at me uKe a Dullet, l was so astonished at the play I just had time to throw out my hands, grab the ball and shove it into Magee's ribs just as he turned his head to see whether he would have to run hard to score or could loaf home.' Evers, in half a second, had seen Magee slow up, and know ing Titus was across first, he yelled to Tinker for the ball and threw to me, He had figured Magee would loaf on the turn and stop to see where the ball was --and he figured it to the tenth of a second and got his r.n, mlnj the fame for ua end wii'am ,i .in.i ii ii .in ii.in ii i .ii. inn i i i.i . r: car- V ' JOHN A.

RENNESSEE TO BE TRIED FOR LIFE Charged With Murder of Gorman Pitts in Glen Alpine Fight, Burke Physician Brought From Hospital to Jail. Morganton, Aug. 4 Surviving the effect of five bullets fired in to his body and that of 75 other wounds received from knives and blunt weapons, Dr. E. A. Hen nessee, will this week in Burke Superior Court be tried for his , life on a charge of having mur- dered Gorman Pitts in the bloody feudal fight at Glen Alpine last 1 Winter. That the prisoner is living is marvelous and it was thought several times that he would die of his injuries. His iron nerve has said to have kept him alive. He has been in a hospital at Statesville, his life despaired of at times, but last "night was brought to the jail here. I This trial alone would hold the intense interest of the section, but along with it is the trial of Swink and Hoyle, charged with the murder of Saine in another general fight, which occurred in the lower Fork section several weeks ago. " The criminal docket is the most crowded in the his tory of the county. Carl Williams and Harry Jarret two-young - boys,- are - charged with deliberately shooting and killing a young girl near Drexel. The fight between the two factions of Carswell, which, al though it did not produce any fatalities, resulted in injuries to five or six combatants will also be aired this term, if time per mits. All families represented are prominent, the Hennessee and Pitts connections especially so, and the largest crowd ever at tending a court here is in town. Three special venires of 100 jurors each will be summoned. Burke County Trial Postponed to Select Jury. Morganton, Aug. 5. The trial of Dr. E. A. Hennessee, which was to have commenced here to day, has been postponed until next week, to give the sheriff more time in securing a venire. As the case has attracted so much attention and the Hennes- see and .Pitts lamilies are so Greenwood districts are request widely connected throughout the'ed to meet the chairman of the county, it is extremely difficult board and county superintendent to get a jury. at Asbury schoolhouse next Mon- ; . . 1 i ; day August the 11th at 3 o'clock giving us another chance at the P- m- for tne purpose of discus petinant. i sing the advisability of consoli- The crowd instead of appre- dating Evers' wonderful work, thought Magee had blundered, and roasted him, scarcely notic - inj? the brilliant feat of Tinker 1 Evers. WHEN PRISONERS PLAY BALL Season at Atlanta Penitentiary Opened With Flag Raisinl-AIso Have "Robber" Umpires. , Atlanta, Ga. Attended by all the conventional ceremonies of the big leagues, the baseball sea son of 1913 in the prison league in the Atlanta federal prison has been opened. There was a parade the biggest bonehead ever seen through the grounds, in which in Ocean City, all the players of the league "Get the harpoon!" cried Jim participated, led by the prison my Kelly, the bravest and bright band. The championship pennant est of them all. ot 1912, won by the Giants," the stone cutters' crew, was raised after an appropriate speech by a prisoner, once prominent in the news of the day. Warden Mayer was called upon to pitch the first ball. A double- header was played during the day in which the "Tigers" de feated the "Cubs" 12 to 3. The "Giants" defeated the "Crack ers" By the score of 9 to 1. The "Giants" had as their pitcher a negro, generally known as "Georgia," butonlhe baseball diamond as "Black Matty," be cause he won 15 games : straight last season. The umpires selected from among the prisoners were freely and frankly denounced as "rob bers." Enthusiastic fans rooted with all the vim and enthusiasm of their , prototypes on the out side, and then all doffed their caps as the band played "America" at the close of the second game, gave three cheers for the flag of their country and then filed back to their cells. Even the Standard Oil Company Can't Buy Ford Stock. Detroit, U. S. A. . June 3, 1913. John K. Cline & Son, Lincolnton, N. C. For fear that you have not no ticed page 353 of the Ford Times for. May, wherein an emphatic denial is made of certain silly rumors concerning a change of ownership in the Ford Motor Company and a consequent re duction in the price of Ford cars, we call to your attention the fol lowing plain statement of facts: 1. The Standard Oil Company or any other company has not bought the Ford business or even a single share of our Company's stock, as we have no interest to sell. 2. We have no connection whatever withany other-automobile concern. . 3. We will not sell three cars for one thousand dollars. ; 4. We will not market our pro duct through mail order .'. houses or direct to the retail buyers, or through any other channels ex cept our regularly licensed deal-. ers. We expect and want everyone connected with the Ford organ ization to deny rumors of this character, resting assured that when any changes are made in Ford policy our organization will be the first to know of it. . 1...

Sigmon, Chairman Board of Education CAPTURED WHALE ON COST OF JERSEY Leviathan of The Deep Lassoed and Pulled Ashore by Hawser and Windlass. Ocean City, N. J.- A whale spilled himself into the shallow water off the beach here the other morning. "Whale ho!" cried the lookout of the beach patrol bore down on With a harpoon said harpoon being a boat hook -they jumped on the leviathan. "Give him the hook! The hook!" sputtered Kelly. They prodded old bonehead with the boat hook, and he bel- lowed like a bull. He was a bull, Bellowed Like a Bull. anyhow. Then he spit at them. He sent up a fountain of water from his spout-hydrant in his head and nearly drowned them all. He rushed them with his big bull head, but could not rush far. He could have sunk a ship, that old bonehead, but he was out of his element. He made the fatal mistake of getting that awful tail too high out of the water and the vigilant coast guards lassoed it. ...

Piedmont High School is one of the finest academies I know anything about, and I have come in contact with many of the finest schools in the North and West and was graduated from one of Ohio's bestinstitutiqns the Western Reserve Academy at Hudson. Piedmont has a spirit and an atmosphere that one us ually finds only at much .older and more famous places such as Phillips-Exeter in New Hamp shire, Andover in Massachusetts and Western Reserve in Ohio. Piedmont will some-day be as famous in the Southeast as those schools are in their respective sections. Broadus H. DePriest, Editor and Founder of "The Highlander,'? Shelby N. C. : LUTHERAN "SERVICE.
