At no time this season has Augusta
been anywhere near as strong in the out

rectors which the local association ever
had. He knows the game thoroughly and
has given much time and money to make
base ball here a success. 1t is hoped that
he may reconsider his determination to
withdraw from active connection with
the ASSOCIATIONS affairs. as just such men
are needed to keep alive the remarkable
local interest in base ball
