FRUIT GROWERS ORGANIZE.
Georgians Get Together for the Pro-
lection of Their interests.


Atlanta. April 2S.-(special)-The first
local organization of frui growers In
Georgia has just been formed at Bald
win, and comprises the counties of
Habersham and Banks. This organization
is the outcome of persistent efforts on
the part of several fruit growers living
near Cornelia, Ga, with view to getting
together for the protection of their inter-
ests in distributing fruit. The meeting at
which the organization was perfected was
called by A. M. Kitchen of Baldwin, who
has recently established extensive orch
ards in that sections. AS a result of the
meeting at Cornelia, Mr.. Kitchen was
elected president of the organization and
Ethan Philbrick secretary.
The subject of local organizations of the
fruit growers was extensively discussed
at the recent meeting of the Georgia
Fruit Growers association at Macon, and
the state association has recommended
the formation of local organizations in all
parts of the state which should cooper
ate with eac hother both directly and
through the state association. 1t is pro-
posed to have a central bureau estab
lished and locals bureaus formed by each
of the local organizations. In this way
it is believed the, movement of the fruit
can be properly directed so that at no
place will the market become glutted and
the fruit growers lose their product. The
full plans for this system have not been
quite perfected, but it is believed every
thing will be in shape for the proper
handling of the coming seasons crop.

NEW PLAYER HERE
FROM LOUISVILLE
MGREW, AN lNFIELDER, ARRlV-
ED YESTERDAY AND WILL
WORK WITH THE TEAM IN
PRACTICE TODAY.

McGrew, the new recruit for the inheld,
who will be given a tryout with the Ba-
rons, arrived yesterday morning from
Louisville, and will practice with the team
today. 1t is doubtful if he will go into
the game today, unless he makes an I'M
usually brilliant showing on the field this
morning.
Manager Vaughan will hardly put him
into the game until he has shown what
he can do, and he may not be seen here
by Woodruff, who is with the Louisville
team, with which McGrew worked out
this spring. He made a good record
there but was crowded out of a place on
the team because of several older play
ers who knew more about the gdroe
among them being Woodruff.
McGrew played with Marion in the CVn-
trail league last year He was In III
games, at the bat 442 times, made 101
hits and has a percentage of .2S9. lilo "
ever, this year he has shown greater
prowess at the bat, and those who saw
him work consider him a coming player.
In the field he had 236 put outs, 329 as
sists, 67 errors and a percentage of .s9i
This would show that he had an average
of about six chances in every game, I'D
that he went after everything in sight.
The Louisville papers, especially the
Courier-Journal, have spoken in highes;
terms of the new Baron all through the
spring and at one time it was the general
belief that he would make good on that
team

Want Freight overcharses Refunded.

Atlanta, April 2s.-(speciaI.)-H. II.
Tiff of Triton and other members of the
Georgia Sawmill association have filed a
bill in the United States court here based
on the decision of the interstate COM
merce commission to the effect that the
advanced rate of cents per 100 pounds
on lumber was unreasonable and unjust,
against the railroads.in this territory ask
ing that they be compelled to refund to
the lumber the excessive charge. This
advance of . cents per 100 pounds has
been collected now for some two years
and it is said the total sum amounts to
some $500, 600 or 100000. The railroads are
asked to pay this sum back to the lumber
men who have been charged the advance
on all lumber shipped to Ohio river and
points beyond An injunction will also
be asked for to prevent the further COL
lection of this advance on the ground
that 1t is unjust and unfair as decided
by the interstate commerce commission.

SLAGPILE NOTES.

New Orleans has released Perry Wer-
den and Plass. The formers eyes are
not in good condition yet and have proven
a serious handicap to him, and the lat
ter is considered a little - light and
young for the Southern league this sea-
son.
Plass goes to Vicksburg in the Cotton
States league. while Perry has not an
nounced his intentions.
Charlie Frank will carry about six
pitchers this season-Breitenstein Danne-
hover, Phillips, Dysert, Whitridge and
Wilson. Beck, who is playing first will
hardly be in batting condition for some
time to come. lie was hit on the arm
in practice game and cannot grasp the
bat firmly with that hand.
Memphis has been given a new lease
on life by the announcement that Arthur
Goodwin, last years premier slabman for
that team, would be back again this sea-
son, after failing to make good with Ned
Hanlons Brooklyn bunch He should be
better this season than last on account
of his Dig league training.
The game this afternoon will be called
promptly at $3.50 o'clock, and the Barons
will probably line up as they did Satur-
day. Raglan or Pylant will be on the
firing line for the Barons.
George Winters will be back in the
game for Atlanta within few DAYS.
probably by the end of this week and
there is great joy among the faithful in
that berg.
Matthews will hardly be able to play a
game until the end of this week, unless
some accident happens to Clarke. Mat

grip a ball so as to throw ii accurately,
