ODD GAME OF MARBLES

Physician Defeats a Judge in a Con. test at a Picnic Held at Atlanta, Ga. , Atlanta.—Small boys and grown-up ones, too, erased all their games at the Second Baptist picnic at Mount Gilead to witness an exciting game of ring marbles between Judge John T. Pendleton and Dr. E.\ L. Connally. “Judge, I have considerable misgivings about this game,” said Dr. Connally. “I understand that you have practiced it only forty years ago, and it seems I am handicapped.” Notwithstanding this, however, Judge Pendleton didn’t have a look in. The match was for the best four out of seven games, and all that the judge got was just one game. Dr, Connally believed he was lucky at that. The. way Dr. Connally shot marbles was a delight to the younger generation. Skill and luck seemed to combine for his benefit, and the judge was left the difficult shots to make.
