END FOR LOCALS

IN. B.-When this story was
written the weather wasn't the
very best for dreaming about
baseball in Americus.)
Americas may have some real old
time baseball here next summer. Hon.
est to goodness-they're figuring on
it, and Americas has been asked
"Where are ye?"
The plan is to inaugurate six or
eight club semi-professional league,
with a salary limit as tight as one of
the bands of steel forged around those
warning European armies. The cities
in this section who have been men
toned in this enterprise are:
AMERICUS, Thomasville, Albany,
valdosta, Dawson, Cordele, Monte
yuma and Moultrie.
Again, we re-iterate, there's some
thing to it.
Ike Kalmon, who fathered league
down in this part of the world sew
eral seasons ago, has been asked by
interested fans in these other cities as
to what Americas thinks. (He doubt
less prefers to let Americas speak
f7rst.)
Albany left the Sally league last
year. The Dixie, the Empire State and
ali similar leagues have gone to join
the spirit of Charles Evans Hughes.
So, the best bet is a semi-pro. league
Of teams from small cities in this Sec
tion of the state.
Some mighty figuring is being done,
and everybody hopes that Americas
can pull herself together in the old
time spirit and send team out to let
world know we're still in Sumter
county. (And that team can be made
self-sustaining)
