BASE BALL PLANS
FOR OPENING DAY
WITHIN A WEEK TEAM WILL BE
MAKING FINE SHOWING-NEW
PLAYERS COMING.

With the arrival in few days of
number of college stars to augment
the present excellent lineup that act
ing Manager Moore has gotten togeth-
er for the local club of the big 4"
league Cordele will be in velvet, and
there will be no getting around the
fact that it will be one of the fastest
amateur teams in the south With
the players that are now on hand the
management of the Cordele team does
not entertain any fear of not holding
its own against any other team in the
league, and the addition OF other men
will not leave position that could
even be criticized as being weak.
In the game with Rochelle yester
day, Christa, league player of some
note started the game behind the bat
Webb, Martin and Chewing were lin
ed up for firing in the order named
Steed, the Auburn star, held down
the first sack He was captain of the
strong Auburn team this year and
made all Southern. He is rangy
man, a good hitter and has a good
head. He will be shifted to the out
field when Henderson comes
Morris, on old Gordon and River
side man, was on second. He moves
about fast, has good arm and if he
stands up under fire will make a good
man. Thompson of Riverside, played
short. He has a good build is fast
and should make a good man if he
can stand the gait. He is brother
of Carl and Homer Thompson of the
University of Georgia. He has the
appearance of good man. Van Ian
bingham brother of Charlestons
catcher, did work around the third
sack. Van knows the game, is willing
and would make the club good third
sacker no doubt. A badly swollen
hand has kept him from picking them
up as clean as could be done, but when
this gets we'll he will make a steady
player. The putfeld for the Rochelle
game was composed of Clifton of La
nier Hi school, Harbinson, a semi
professional and Moore of GAINESVILLE
Nunnally of the University of Geor-
gia will be ready to catch in the series
against Fitzgerald, and the lineup
will probably be changed all around
for the opening game of the schedule,
adding new men and shifting position
on others. Spurlin, of Triton, has
been showing up in good form and will
be retained for while to give him a
better chance to show what he has.
Wilson, of Gordon, reported last
night and will work the opening game
against Fitzgerald. This boy is one
of the best twirlers in the south. He
has a record for this season that is
little short of wonderful His games
have run in the no hit, one, two and
four hit columns. He is hitting above
three hundred in the last twenty-four
games against the best pitchers in the
state. He was awarded very hand
some medal by. Vice President Holmes
of the Southern Intercollegiate Ath-
letic Association, presented by Gordon
as the most valuable player on the
squad. He will live up to the highest
expectations.
Sims, captain of Gordon, southpaw
and one of the fastest men in college
ball will work the second game. He
is a good man in every department of
the game. Sims has made four all
prep teams He hits right on around
here and will steal pitchers uniform
if it is not tied down.

WITH ANOTHER "FIRST'

j. r. Camp, prominent farmer of
Wenona, was in the city yesterday
and exhibited a fine specimen of bloom
from the Cleveland big boil cotton.
He has a very fine crop on twenty
acre tract that will produce a big
yield if it continues in good condi-
ton.
in spite of the government report
Of a 70 per cent average for the con-
dition of cotton the country over,
Crisp farmers have rather good pros
poets. They are happy over their
present rather bright outlook.
