1t looks very much as If Savannah
would not qualify for the South At
lantic Baseball League, which was
launched here in November, and lovers
of the national game will have to de-
pend on the contests between amateur
teams for their sport during the sum-
mer months.
Every effort has been made to inter-
est Savannah people in the undertake
ing, but so far those promoting the
movement have been unsuccessful and
the matter has been practically
dropped.
The main obstacle in the way Of put
ting team in the league at this point
is the financial part of it. According to
the bylaws adopted at the meeting,
which was held here each city enter
ing the league is required to put up
$500 as a guarantee of good faith. This
money is deposited with a bonded
trustee, and cannot be touched except
in case of the disarmament of the team
before the season is ended. The de-
post is made in three installments,
$3.50 on Jan. 1, $15O on Feb. l, and $500
on June /. If the team putting up
this amount finishes the season. the
money is returned to those who post it.
This money can be posted by certified
check, and If deposited in good faith
there is little danger Of its being for
feited.
In addition to the $500 posted for
forfeit money, but little more is re-
quired to put the team on the field.
The other expenses, incidental to
equipping the team are comparatively
small. The players are not paid for
the two weeks that they are required
to practice, but their expenses are. The

Very much in contrast with the spirit
which was formerly manifested in COM

vannah and Charleston teams, the
Charleston papers spoke in the high

opportunity was taken to make several
little stabs, one of which was as anus

extracts from the Charleston News and
Courier's report of the game:
with the exception of one or two
prolonged and aggravated cases of
kicking, caused possibly by the inhala-
ton of the atmosphere of the little 23-
foot deep creek which winds it's slug

Women's Work in Korea.

AS there are no labor-saving ma
chimes in Korea women's work is done
by the crudest methods possible. from
hauling rice with heavy wood or stone
pestle to washing clothes by beating
them in the streams and ironing them
with sticks. says the ST. James Gazette.
In order to iron the clothes must be
ripped apart and wrapped around q
wooden roller while damp; they are then
beaten by either one or two women. 1t
is surprising to see the gloss on the white
calico and the sheen upon the linen
produced by the method Of ironing. 1t
surpasses the dressing one sees in this
country on newly-bought linen. Since
the people dress exclusively in white,

night, tools spent in washing, ironing
and sewing.
