 Paulette and Hartley, catchers.

 The Yannigans are composed of many promising men of the Giant squad. Bues, who comes to the New York club from the Pacific Coast league looks to be a good youngster and some have said that he will make the regular squad. He is a hard hitting man with a good arm and a lot of natural abii- ity. Devlin, who plays regularly at third base, will cavort at the initial cor ner. The others come to the Giants with good records and seem to be splen- did though young ball players.
 The Barons are in good shape, al- though, they were no, able to prac- tice any yesterday. -ttcher Raymond Boyd says that he Is seeling finely and that he would be willing to pitch whole game if necessary. He took his time in training and is now reaping the benefit. Kane will probably be given his first chance this afternoon to show what he has. He is a mighty large man.

bility. A call has been issued by the
Waycross board OF trade for meet

six team league, the other three mem
bers to be chosen from Thonnasvilie,
Fitzgerald, Americas or Cordele.

than recommend the request for an
increased appropriation for deeper
water in the Ocmulgee, oconee and
Altamaha rivers. He says the argu-
ments put forward by the Georgia
representatives were strong and con-
ylnctng.
