The April newsletter of the
Chamber of Commerce has the fol-
lowing to say about the National
pastime at the Capital: Needless to
say the merchants of Augusta are
proud of the leade rship that Angus
ia has shown in baseball. 1t was
about as good a drawing card as
could have been conceived had it
been planned only to draw business
to Augusta. 1t certainly did the trick
in stamping Augusta as live town
just as our Winter Carnival, oul
hockey team, our symphony orches-
ira and other projects have done
But it also has value as advertising
carrying the fair name of our city
abroad so that summer visitors and
homeseekers will hear it repeated
often as place worth visiting dur
ing the summer. The Augusta mer-
chants have endorsed the project and
they recommend that everyone who
loves Augusta back up the team by
attending the baseball carnival and
by attending the games"
