Talk Of Organizing Small One in
South Georgia.
An article recently appeared in The
Savannah News stating that there was
some talk in that city OF organizing
baseball league among the larger cit
ies 81 south Georgia. Since the APP
pearance of the article there has been
90, s.eerable talk in local baseball cir
cles and if such a league is organized
brunswick viii, in all probability, be
in it.
The News favored the idea but said
that he league would have to be run
on a sman plan to make il success.
AS viewed by local lovers OF the
sport it is their idea TO get up tae
league with six or eight south Geor
gia and Florida cities. Say Tor in
stance, Savannah, brunswick. Thorn
as9iIle, and Wayeross, Ga, and Jack
sonville and Fernandina, Fla All
OF these are good bail towns, but Of
course. each OF them could not support

plan would be for eacn city to secure
four or nve professional players and
