GEORGIA STATE LEAGUE NOTES

The dope in the Georgia State at this
stage of the game indicates that the
league directors will be called upon to
buy no less than six pennants.
Every team in the league looks better
than ever before, and naturally each
city feels that this is pennant year.
However, this much is absolutely GER

vile Hornets, proposes to do his best for
a second rag.
There was lot of talk last fall Of the
Georgia league being increased to an
eight-Cl circuit, and now the dope Is
moving again to the extent that Dublin
and Fitzgerald want to enter,
Having an exceptionally well-balanced
league of six teams, it is not probable
that the directors win increase the
league to eight teams this year. If the
1914 season proves all the prospects in
dictate favorable action may be given
applications for membership later.
Visits of the big league teams will pay

this year are bound to help the game.
Interest gets at a higher pitch than
when only local teams mix up with the
league boys and a lot of knocking that
follows if a home talent bunch wins is
eliminated.

season has signed with WaScross for
