Manager Mathews has secured Morris

but there is little doubt entertained in
this camp as to which club will be on
the long end of the score after the
game, though the Milledgeville outfit
will be strengthened by the services of
five or six Southern professional play
ers.
The Southern III has given the New
ark players a healthy looking tlnge and
at this rate there is no reason why the
Tigers should not be as fit as a fiddle
when they join the main squad at Will
mington on March 20.
The men had another good round of
practise yesterday. Mullen was the
star at bat and in the field. The long
est hit, however. was made by non
other than Friend Pardee. He bumped
the horsehide irto a creek a couple OF
hundred yards from the mansion.
