OUTLAW TEAM
TAKES CHARGE
Succeeds 'Invincibles"
Here and VIII Schedule
Games

The recently formed OUTLAW"
baseball team today purchased all
of the uniforms and the equipment
of the "Invincibles' and hereafter
will play as Americas on the play
ground diamond, it was announced
this afternoon by David Jennings,
Charley Payne and 'Dick" Williams,
speaking for the new organization
Tell the folks that we want ball
players" said Jennings, "and that any
Americas or Sumter county man who
wants place on the team can have it
if he is qualified. We want to get
the best possible team from among
the players available, and we want to
furnish the community the best ma
tional sport we can. We will arrange
games as often as possible, and we
know Americas people like to have
winning team. No man can held
place on the team unless he plays
BALI and can keep some other Ameri-
Gus man from getting his place, and
we urge every player here to come
out and practice with US to the end
that the team be made as strong as
possible"
The first game to be played by the
new organization will be tomorrow
afternoon with Brentwood at the
playground diamond, beginning at 4
o'clock, and the public is asked to
patronize the games literally. "Red"

al game against Cordele here recent
ly, will pitch for Americas, with
Charley Payne doing the receiving,
and Bronwood's battery will be Hol-
land and Holland.

a great pleasure and benefit. The

did musical material in Americas, the
committee will have an opportunity
of changing the personnel of these
programs each week.
