BRAVES vs TIGERS TOBEATFLORENCE # THE FLORENCE TIMES WIM, BRING TWO OF THE BIG LEAGl'E TEAMS THERE ON APRIL 8th Ty Cooc of \\\ *'d\vide fame ad Hank Gowdy to bo seen in action on Florence Diamond. The Florence Daily Times takes nloo^iivo in .innnnncinc that it has arranged for the appearance in Florence on the afternoon of April 8, of the Boston National and Detroit American league base ball clubs in an exhibition game. These arrangements were concluded with a view of giving the lovers of base ball in Florence and surrounding country an opportunity to enjoy a genuine game of league baseball, with Ty Cobb and Hank dowdy in action. This is easily the biggest base ball affair ewi staged in this cit\ an! it is t!v> expectation of the Time.- 'hat t : attendance will break all piv\ ious local baseball records. Tb game vii! be played at The Pee Dee fair grounds park. In this game Wvt-n a . Bra -1 and tl.e Tigers, a* liny a v !:no>vn in the base ball world wi'i be pro sen' I :b. oiutely th bigge.-' lav ing car!- of pre -?nt da' maj-v league base ball . Everybodj has heard *of Ty Cobb of the I -droit C ub, him seT a Southerner 1101 Augusta, (la., and ovorywhov* -ecogn! /.? ?; : < in a class by himself. He v :!1 p'ay hi. usual position n the Detroit outfield and when ever Cobb is in the lineup there i> sure to be something doing almost any minute. Then there is Hank Gowdv, whose wonderful prow ess with the bat in that memorable world's series of 1914 is not forgotten. Hut Gowdv has a more recent claim to fame for he was the best of all the big league players to see overseas service and for more than 18 months he was on the other side, rising to the rank of color sergeant with the gallant Rainbow Division. 'Hie third of this great trio of stars is Rabbit Maranville, the diminutive and peppery shortstop of the braves, easily the best shortstop in the game today as well as about the smallest player in point of inches who has ever made good in the company of the top notchers. The contract calls for the appearance or all of these stars and in addition will come to this city all of the other players of the two teams, regulars and rookies alike, making altogether a party of over 70 ball player^ to say nothing of managers, attendants and a perfect horet of newspaper men who are covering this tour of the two clubs for the Boston and Detroit newspapers. It promises to be one of the biggest days this place has ever seen. Four special Pullman cars will be used by the Boston National and Detroit American league base ball clubs ia transport to this city the 70 odd players who vrill visit this city on the 8th of April, 1919 for the game that is to be played here on that day between these two clubs. The cars were chartered to be used, by the i-arty tie time the two team-; leave Macon, Ga., on Sunday afternoon, April 6th until they part company at Staunton, Va., on the night ? of Wednesday, April 16th. In the mean time these Pullmans will be really the home of the players for it was found absolutely impossible to secure suitable hotel accommodations in any of the places for the entire party and it must be borne in mind that there are others who will visit this city in connection with the game in addition to the players of the two teams. In the first place there are the two managers, each of whom has one of the few much covered rooms of the Pullmans, George T.Stalling, who has borne the title of the Miracle Man of base ball ever since he won the v/orld's series with his Braved in four straight games?a performance never since equalled?is one of the managers and the other is the ever genial Hughey Jennings whose antics on the coaching lines have been ? o often careealure in the metrololitan papers. Staliings and Jennings will fight out this series of exhibition games with as much earnestness as if a pennant and a championship was involved, for with each club representatives of each newspaper .outfits home city and the fans "up" North" are watching the result of these games with keenest interest. Not only is the appearance of such men as Ty Cobb, Hank Gowdy, Rabbit Maranville and others guananteed but each team will use its first string pitchers in order to have any possible advantage.

While the men on the battle front in France were driving steadily towards the Rhine there were camera 1 men at work, photographing some j times from an aeroplane flown dangerously low over the lines, and * again from advanced camouflaged 1 points. To get pictures from an aer- t oplane at a low altitude it was nec- r essary very often to fly through a barrage and in a straight line, becoming consequently, an excellent ' target for the German aviator who r had a mission over the American lines. Under such difficulties five thousand feet of battlefield reality has j been photographed and the people * all over the Fifth Federal Reserve t District will have an opportunity to 2 see actual fighting. The photographic work on "The Price of Peace" was j done by the Signal Corps of the >? United " States army. One camera t man was killed while on the work. t Deeds of exceptional courage in ^ action, for which men in the service of the army and navy received dis- i tinction are features of "The Price; of Peace."

Nervous troubles, with backache, dizzy spells, queer pains and irreguar kidneys, give reason to suspect kidney weakness and to try the remedy that has helped your neighbors. Mrs. J. C. Scott, R. F. D. 101, Kingstree, says: "I was troubled about four years ago with kidney complaint and it worried me a lot I had a sore back and terrible headaches and at times would get severe dizzy spells and specks would float before my eyes. I was so nervous and irritable that the least noise bothered me awfully. My kidneys acted irregularly and caused me considerable annoyance. I heard of Doan's Kidney Pills and to my surprise, after using a few, I felt a great deal better. I had no more pains in my back. When I had taken the whole box, my kidneys were strengthened and I felt like a different woman. I don't know what I would have done if it weren't for Doan's Kidney Pills." Price 60c, at all dealers.
