FACTS AND FIGURES

Valdosta won two from the Mucka-

winning streak and will continue to
cop the old games until we meet them
again. Valdosta has a good club, and
we hope they have routed the jinx that
has been lowering in their neighbour
hood.

win in baseball without that old fight

you are bound to get beat, but when q
