Fogel, president of the Philadelphia
National League Club, and as a re-
suit will go to the spring training
camp of the Phillies. 1t is likely that
Andy Speary will also take the trip to
the Southern Pines, North Carolina,
according to present plans. Eddie
Haver. the other local boy signed by
the Phillies, will probably not make
the trip. Spcary and Rachlin will owe
their trip South to the latter's nerve.
1t was Fogel's plan not to take any of
the three recruits South, but Abe wrote
the president that he was DESTROYS of
going; that he was sure, if given a
chance, that he would certainly do as
we'll us any of the other recruits. He
informed Mr.. Fogel that he was posi-
tive he would make good. and offered to
Fay his own expenses for the entire
trip. The confidence displayed in the
latter convinced Fogel that the lad was
worth a spring tryout. and as a result
both he and Spearv will go South with
the team, if present plans carry.
The first of the series of long dis
tance foot races that will be run in
Madison Square Garden during the
next few months was held last night.

GREAT FIELD DAY
IN LATE OCTOBER
Events to Help Library and
Hospital.
Believed Great Interest
Can Be Aroused and
Many Entries Also
Secured.

some hne afternoon, in the latter
part of October, a great series of
field events, embracing every class Of
sport possible, will be pulled off at
the baseball park for the benefit Of til,
Carnegie Library and the Americas

lhat Is the present plan of entet-
prising ladies who are interested IN
these worthy public institutions, ana
who, realizing their need OF funds, be-
heYe that a novel afternoon of ou4-
of door sport viii afford plenty of
amusement to the public and at the
same time be the means of filling the
Golfers OF the library and the hos

The field events will be SO diversi-
fed that young and old, men and wo-
men, can take part in them, and bv
their participation assist in making
the unique entertainment thoroughly
amusing and enjoyable to their friends
and the general public.
"A committee of ladies will soon be,
at work preparing the program anA
occurring entries. While every effort
viii be made to have the field events
amusing there will be nothing rough
about them. Everything will be CON
Quoted in such manner as to invite
the ladies to actively participate and
by their special events in the program
make the afternoon one of more than
ordinary interest.
1t is believed that an enthusiastic
interest can be worked up in the davis
sports and that the entries in eacp
event will be numerous, and that the
grandstand and grounds can be filled
With spectators.
Americus has never yet had fa15
day Of this character. In the Nor4a
and West they are of frequent 3.
currence, and are very popular. Tie
events for, the ladies are sometimes
exciting and sometimes amusing. and
the mems events are well calculat-
cd to stir up the audience either 70
applause or to laughter, loud and pro-
longei. Among the new events for
ladies' are "hobble races" iaughter
roasing sports in the latest style OF
dress.
The committee of ladies that is ex-
pected to take hold of the Americas
fle'd Day have plenty of originality
IN their makeup and the events are
sure to be varied enough to suit all
.astes.
