Americus will have an opportunity
to witness baseball regularly this sea-
son if a movement now on foot, in
which Americus has taken the initia-
tive, is successful. The movement
centers around the Souther Field
baseball team, which is already or
ganized and playing and is eager to
join an organization of teams in near
by cities in an amateur league for
playing games by schedule.
This was made known today by
Lieut.. A. B. McMullen, of Souther
Field, who is manager of the post
baseball team, who at the same time
issued the foregoing challenge tomeet
any amateur in the state in Americus
any early date.
Lieut.. McMullen yesterday took up
the matter of obtaining the old base
ball grounds with G. H. Burke, mana
ger of the Commercial Warehouse,
which owns the grounds, and was
given permission to use them for sew
eral weeks, or until Mr.. Burke begins
the erection there in midsummer of
cotton warehouse which he is plan
ming. After that time a new playing
field would have to be arranged.
In the meantime, Secretary Per-
kins, of the Chamber of Commerce,
has taken up with Cordele and other
nearby cities the proposal to form an
amateur league embracing Americus,
which is to be represented by the SOL
diers' nine, and, inasmuch as there
appears to be considerable desire on
the part of these other cities to play
baseball since the recent failure of the
project to revive the old Georgia State
league, it is expected little difficulty
will be encountered in forming an in
expensive amateur organization.
Lieut.. McMullens challenge contem-
plates the playing here of game with
the best and strongest team that can
be secured for the purpose of provid-
ing a nucleus of fund for the guar
anteeing of expenses of visiting teams.
1--WE have no funds now that will
cradle us to bring teams here" said
he, "and if we are to have games in
Americas is is necessary for some
way to be found to provide this
money. We have a. strong team and
are confident that we are the equal Of
the best"

ORLANDO GOES TO CONSULT PARL lAMENT
Here is List
of Judges to
Award Auto

The Times Recorder is pleased to
announce that the following men have
consented to act as judges in award
ing the prizes in the big subscription
contest, which comes to an end
Saturday night of this week, after
continuing for eight weeks:
T. M. FURLOW, superintendent of
the Lee Street Methodist Sunday
school.
JOSEPH PERKINS, secretary man
ager of the Chamber of Commerce.
J. w. MOSTELLER, President Geor-
gia Motor Company.
The selection of the winner of the
bort car, the grand capital prize, and
the other twenty prizes, will be a
comparatively simple matter, be-
cause of the simplicity of the system
upon which the campaign his been
conducted, the work of the judges be-
ing largely matter of adding figures
and arranging the totals.
All of the votes not published in
the list of standings appearing last
Tuesday, which embraced the coupon
vote almost exclusively, are in the
hands of the workers themselves
having been held by them from the
beginning. On Saturday these will
be brought to The Times Recorder
office and deposited in a locked box,
the key of which will be in the GUS
tody of the judges At o'clock the
voting will close, all ballots not de-
posted by that hour being forfeited.
At that time the judges will unlock
the box and count the ballots. To the
totals as found by them from the
subscription votes they will add the
published coupon vote, and the prizes
will be awarded to the workers in the
order of their final standings as
found by the judges.
The whole final operation should
not consume more than two hours,
and the automobile should be in the
hands of the winner by 9 o'clock Sat
urday night. The prizes will be de-
livered at once to all winners who
may be present.
An invitation is issued by The
Times-Recorder to all workers and
their relatives or friends to be pres
ent at the counting of votes and the
awarding of prizes, in order that
everyone interested may be satisfied
and convinced that the campaign has
been conducted with absoute fair
ness and impartiality to the very
end. After the judges have complet-
ed their count an invitation will be
issued to any one interested to in
spect the ballots of any winner or
any records in connection with the
campaign, in order that all may be
satisfied that no votes have been
awarded, except on subscriptions OBJ
tanned or collected upon under the
rules of the campaign as announced
1t its beginning, and so that all ma.
know that The. Times-Recorder' re-
peated promise that there would be
no money-spending by the contest
ants has been strictly adhered to.
Don't forget the hour O'Clock
Saturday night. Come down to The
Times-Recorder office and see who
wins the touring car.
