u
Cerdele is abiding strictly by the
rules agreed upon by the representa-
tives OF. the cities in the Big A. at
tho time of the adoption Of the SEIZED
ule. No players are allowed to enter
the game unless they have reported
three days before. Henderson, though
manager Of the team, was put on the
bench for three days after reporting
and so was the case with Westbrook,
though he would have come in handy
for pitching a game during the first OF
the week A disposition on the part
of the representatives Of the other
teams to abide closely by these rules
is also evidenced.
i
Cordele has relegated the jinx far
to the rear-plumb out Of hearing dis
talce and, UNI! playing some ball!
**
Perry is playing the best all-round
ball of any short in the league, which
is saying some.
ellis was the man of the hour in
Saturdays game with Montezuma.
With the score standing / and l in the
ninth and when an effort was being
made to give him a pass to first, the
husky left fielder leaned over the plate
and cracked out one for hit, scoring
Perry from second.

ANY club will find it hard to break
Cordele's winning streak. Team work
is now at it's prime and the players
are hitting with a vim that counts for
runs at opportune junctures.
A meeting of the league directors OF
the "Big A. was held at Montezuma
this morning for the purpose OF MAX
ing some disposition of the misunder'
standing between the arrangements
of the Cordele and Montezuma teams
relative to the action of Wooten, one
of Georgias outfield last year. Wooten,
according to the claims Of Manager
Henderson,, made a distinct contract
with him to play with Cordele team
at a salary that was named and agreed
upon. 1t seems that shortly following
Montezuma made an effort to get Woot
en- and offered him better salary than
he closed with manager Henderson
for Wooten then contracted with
Montezunla to play with them.
According to the rules agreed upon
by the directors of the league at the
very outset, no team can 6HpIOy play
er while in the employ of another team
in the league, and Cordele is contend
ing that Montezuma cannot hold Woot-
en-, but that if he plays in the Big 4"
he must play with Cordele. This was
also the consensus of opinion of the
directors.
A resolution was passed at this
meeting allowing Wooten to play with
Montezuma for the next four games,
after which time he can return to Cor
dele to comply with Cordele contract
or become Ineligible to play in the
league in event of his failure to do SO.

Christy is a good utility man. He
held first to perfect satisfaction, plays
inJield or out and catches like fiend.
He's now playing around the third
sack, and is mighty good man to
have on the team.
