the shedding rather bumpy for
his colyum-busting up ball games
between the Crackers and the Bron-
chos, you know-if there wasn't lot
Of other stuff to pull.
Chief among the prospective diver
sions, of course, is Opening Day.
Everybody knows the day by this
time, we should guess. But there's no
harm in repeating it-Tuesday April
IA. at S:15 o'clock in the p. m.
Also, everybody knows, or should
know, that the Crackers and the Vol
unteers from Nashville will be the
eontracting parties.
DUT here is point that we wish
ID especially to hammer IN and
c.inch on the other side:
There is an uproarious, and in some
quarters unseemly, effort abroad in
The Southern League to win away
from Atlanta the prestige and pride or
.opDing the Grand PriX offered to the
.tv that turns out the largest crowd
On Opening Day.
Atlanta won that prize last year.
That marked Atlanta. in way, as
The best baseball town on the SOUTH
ern League map That is absolutely
The case, but with some people q. e.,
Birmingham, New Orleans, Chatta-
uooga and others you simply have 10
prove it.
THEREFORE, certain civic bodies,
w such as the Chamber of Com
uerce. and the Hon. Mayor, and the
AID Mems Club, have taken the we'll
fnown steps looking to another rous-
ing demonstration of the fact that
Atlanta is the Best Baseball Town IN
The Southern League.
