is THE BASEBALL SEASON OVER?
Looks as If Pilots Career viii End
Early This Summer.

Atbo
With the baseball season merely be-
gun, it is feared that the season is
already at an end in Brunswick and
unless some one takes charge of the
situation we will have to go through
the summer even without this amuse-
ment
Since Manager Brown resigned there
has been no permanent manager OF
the team, and now it is without any
head whatever.
TO add to the troubles the baseball
park Is to be used by the Atlantic
and Birmingham railroad and If a
team is maintained a new diamond
will have to be secured. This could,
it is thought be very easily accom-.
plished. and could be prepared in a
few weeks.
1t has been suggested by several fans
that baseball association be organ
ization, officers elected, and in this
way secure funds to keep the team in.
tact.
1t is to be earnestly hoped that
something will be done to keep ball
team. Within two or three weeks three
first class college players will lie
here. which will strengthen the team
and make it one of the best amateur
aggregations in the south. Clubs are
now being organized in Wayeross and
other cities and il win be an easy
matter to secure games.
1t is probable thaj q meeting will
be called in the near future at which
time something definite will be done.

to This City Shortly.
The following is from yesterdays
Macon Telegraph;
Several rumors were afioat through
Macon's baseball circles yesterday to
the effect that Capt. Lige Maynard.
Of the Mercer baseball team, had re-
ceiyed an offer from New Orleans of
the Southern league. Iige, when seen
yesterday afternoon discredited any
knowledge of any such offer. It is
true that Maynard has received any
number Of offers to pitch during the
summer but not one from New Or
leans has he received. In about a
weeks time Maynard will be a full
fedged lawyer as he is a member of
the Mercer law class, Inc term OF
which ends on June Z.
Maynard may probably pitch a
little during the summer, but It is
highly improbable that he will sign
with one Of the leagues, no matter
how inviting are the offers received. "
If ball team is sustained in this
city for the rest of the season May.
nard will be seen in the box for the
Pilots. AS has been announced in
these columns before the star twirler
will practice law in Brunswick and
will arrive here in the course of two
weeks.

locals, shared honors with three prof

any free passes to first, but succeed

JEWELRY STORE
DAMAGED BY FIRE
- -
Kennon Motifs Place was
in a Big Blaze Last
Night
WAS WORK OF INCENDIARY
An Hour Later a Box Filled With
Excelsior Was Discovered on Fire
in the Rear of A. RothschiIds
Jewelry Store.

Flre was discovered shortly before
II O'Clock last night in the rear of
the jewelry store of Kennon Mott on
Newcastle street. The department ar
rived as soon as notified and quickly
eXtinguished the blaze, which had
gained good headway and was fast
spreading into the store, having al.
ready gone to the top of the building.
and had almost spread through the
partition into the store of the Doug
las Hardware Company.
After the flames had been extiu,
gulshed a close examination was made
by Chief Green and the firemen and il
Is the belief of the chief that the
lire was the work Of fire bugs. The
blaze originated ON the outside of the
building, just few feet south of the
rear door, From all appearances
some miscreant placed paper or some
thing of the kind under one of the
yentilators, set it on fire and left ii
to destroy what it would The flames
quickly made into the store and was
burning well when the department
arrived.
Mr.. Mott was sent for and opened
the door OF the store. 1t is expected
that the damage will be considerable
as much of the stock was damaged
by fire and water. Mr. Mott stated
to a News reporter that he carried
some insurance but not sufficient to
cover the loss.

blaze was quickly extinguished. No
doubt this was done by the same par
