II Is a Big Improvement Over
Those in Use Past Two
Years.
BRUNSWICK OPENS ON ROAD
Pilots Scheduled to Start Sea-
son in Waycross April % and
Will Open at Home With
VaIdosta May S.

copy of the proposed schedule of
the Georgia State league was received
i'll Brunswick yesterday morning, hav-
ing been sent to all of the clubs by
President Jemison, and the schedule
is unquestionably the best ever ar
ranged for this league. and is a great
Improvement over both the one last
year and that of the opening season
of the league.
If this schedule is adopted the sea
son will open, Thursday April 80, and
will run for 80 games. Brunswick
will open on that date i'll Waycross,
and returning the local season will
open ON April s. with Valdosta. OF
course Brunswick fans may object a
little here. as both halfs of last sea-
son were opened on the road by the
locals. Still the schedule is such
good one that very little objection is
likely to be raised.
One feature of the schedule is that,
unlike the two previous seasons, no
two clubs ever play each other six
successive games: that is TO say
Brunswick will never play here with
a club and then accompany that same
club to its home for Il series.
The saving in mileage is another
great feature. Last season all of the
clubs of the league Travelled a total
of 10000 miles, while under the new
schedule they will travel only $4,000,
which means a big saving in railroad
fare.
Another schedule has also been sub
mitted. this one providing for two
seasons, the same as last year. and
in the event this is adopted then the
clubs would travel practically the
same as last season.
President Jemison stated in let
ter received here that a netting of
the league directors would he held
in Atlanta il agreeable on February
90. al which time the schedule will be
adopted. He also stated that the
question of increasing the salary lin.
il would also be taken up. lie, il is
understood. is in favor of increasing
the salary dimit to at least 5000
per month. 1t is likely that Mr. Jem-
iSon will next week visit all of the
cities in the league for the purpose
of discussing with them personally
the outlook for the coming season.
In conversation with The News over
the long distance telephone last night
he stated that all clubs would again
be in the ciurcuit. and that, if posi-
BILE, he would make trip to the six
cities next week. being in Brunswick
on Tuesday or Wednesday. I'm the
event he decides to come a big meet
ing will be arranged, at which time
the local situation will be thoroughly
discussed and something definite de-
cided

LONDON, Feb. 12.--The Russian

Government Builds Cut From
Little SatilIa River to I'M
brelIa Creek.
AVOID ST. ANDREWS SOUND
Another Cut Will Be Started
About March First From
Umbrella Greek 10 Dover
Creek.

Within Il few weeks the MANY
small craft which ply between Bruins
wick and points on the Satilla river
can make the trip without having to
cross the dangerous st. Andrews
Sound, at times little rougher than
these small craft are able to with
stand.
The government has just completed
a cnt from the Little Satilla river to
Umbrella creek, distance of some
400 feet. and about March first work
will be started on IA similar cut from
Umbrella creek 10 Dover creek, thus
completing the entire cut off. All
that will then be necessary IS for the
small boat to go out of Jekyl creek,
along the edges of the sound and then
to these cutoffs.
The work has been in progress for
some time and the dredging has been
done by the dredge Augusta. which is
still at work and will probably remain
until the Dover cut Is completed.
This Improvement means great
deal 10 many small craft, which here
tofore have been compelled to cross
the middle of st. Andrews sound in
| order to make the trip from any point
along the little Saltilla to Brunswick.
1t is often considered more or less
dangerous for small boats to cross
this sound and many accidents have
occurred in the past
