the error of his way became known here
to-day through a telephone message
from George Stallings, who is at his
plantation at Haddock, Ga. Stallings

offered him, and all that remained was
for the player to sign his contract. The
procedure will be carried out Wcdnes-
day at Augusta, where Hcrzog will meet
Percy Haughton, president of the Bos-

Yankees This means that Caravan,
Crum, Jones and Murray will probably

special request that Slim be used in
the contest at Macon, and Mayor Glenn
Ioo!e has issued proclamation de-
claring a half-hcliday on Tuesday, in
order that the town may turn out en-
masse at the game. In the exhibition

Business Manager Harry Sparrow col
Elaborated with Mr.. Toole:
"Whereas, The conclusion of the
third training season of the New
York American League baseball club
IN our city is to be marked by con-
test between that club and the Ma
tlonal League club of Boston at Cen
trail City Park; and,
Whereas, the members of the New
YORK team, as our guests during
three successive training periods,
have, by their gentlemanly bearing
and appreclatlve acceptance of the
hospitalities extended them, become
IN great measure identified with
and feel themselves to be a part of
our communal life, and
"Whereas, the game between the
New York and Boston clubs is likely
20 be the only ma or league game Of
ball which our gallant boys of the
Georgia, Alabama and Florida Guards
Will have opportunity of witnessing
before they embark for their perilous
service in the trench SCARED battle
zone of France, there to fight for US
democracy's struggle,
Therefore, be it directed by me,
G. Glenn Toole, Mayor Of the City of
Macon, that between the hours Of 2

Tuesday, April 2, all those business
houses that can possibly do so close
their places of business and attend
the game in question and encourage
their employees to be in attendance at
Central City Park during those
hours.
