NO GAME IS PLAYED
DUE TO THE RAIN
No League Ball Is ] lay ed
Friday
j. PLuvius HELD THE DIAMOND
Americus In Columbus, CordeIe in
Albany and Waycross at Valdosta,
But Nothing Doire Yesterday on
the Ball Field.

The boys of the State League sa
upon the water wagon yesterday anG
watched Jupiter Pluvius make al the
base hits and score victory in all the
ball fields in which they would have
req hired gondolas capped with um.
brelias had game been played.
1t was complete shut out in Oolum
bus and IN A bany.
In the game at Valdosts, between the
team of that city and Waycross, the
latter won by score OF 8 to 8.
WIstfuIly the ball tossers, like Fl set
coursers tethered, looked out upon the
rain soaked diamond upon which they
had hoped to achieve victory over the
opposing hosts.
But there was nothing doing-except
raining-for our team.
Thus Americus failed to play two
games with Columbus-Thursday and
Friday-but hopes for clearer skies
this afternoon. CordeIe missed yes
terday one game of the series with AL.
bany, while Vadosta and Waycross
alone pulled off game.
The opening of the State League
season, therefore, is unpropitious.
II the weather is good this after.
noon-Americus will try conclusions
with Columbus, Our team is in ex-
cellent trim and only wants chance
to chase the snipes of the valley.
Americus will "pIay ball" every day
next week. Columbus comes here
Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday,
while the Waycross lineup will be
seen on our diamond Thursday, Fri
day and Saturday. Plenty of ball and
all in a lump.
The Americus team will return from
Columbus tomorrow morning.
