Since the announcement of the COM
ing game of baseball between the Jour-
nal day and night crews a letter has
been received from the manager of
the printers baseball team of Lewis
ton stating that they would like to
play an Augusta printers team if such
an organization exists, and if it does
not exist that they would ask that one
be organized as soon as possible, as
the Lewiston team is willing to travel
the distance between the two cities
for the pleasure of teaching the Au-
gusta players something. The Au-
gusta printers are at present divided
up into something like four baseball
teams, with a large and healthy con-
tingent of rooters, but it will be an
easy matter to select team that will
doubtless be able to give the Lewis
ton players points when it comes to
teaching something 1t is consiG-
cred very probable that the proposed
game can be arranged in the near flu
ture.
