VIII Brunswick be in the South At

This is the question which is being
asked just at present by the local fans
and one which they are quite anxious

The talk was commenced when the
savannah professional team played
hero last week Mr. Guerry, sporting
editor OF the savannah News, and
half owner OF the Savannah team,
talked Interestingly on the subject and
stated that ii the proper effort was
made brunswick could very easily

However, Ii Brunswiekians want to

next season they should begin work
al once. at the next meeting OF the
directors we should send in our appli-

The average attendance in Jackson
ytile, Columbia and Augusta has been
below the thousand mark. On several
occa ions Brunswick has tdrned out
500 people to an ametenr game, Could
they double IT if professional ball was
given us is the question? With an
average OF six hundred people to
every game during the season the
team would not only pay expenses
but would be making a good sum for
the owners OF the team 1t is believed
mat this can be easily done.
