WAYCROSS PLANS
FOR LEGION MEET
Barbecue In Okefenokee Swamp
July a One Feature On
Program

WAYCROSS, March 11.-DeGnite
preparations were started today fol
the holding of the American Legion
state convention in Waycross on
July 3-4-5 with the appointment of
the committees in charge of the pro-
gram and entertainment of the visi-
tors by Dr. Paul McGee, commander
of Ware County Post, No. 10.
The local post plans to make the
convention to be held here highly en-
joyable, and no stone will be left
unturned to accomplish this end. The
chief social gathering on the pro-
gram is a barbecue to be served i'll
the Okefenokee swamp on July 4.
Negotiations are under way with the
Hebard Cypress Co. for the transpor-
tation of the 500 delegates that are
expected to attend the convention and
it is probable that the special train
will leave Waycross Immediately af-
ter the parade on the morning of the
Fourth and will arrive At Billy's Is
land in time for the barbecue to be
served at 2 o'clock.
The national commander, Hanford
MacNider, is expected to make the
principal address of the convention
Commander MacNider was invited
several weeks ago, but has not stated
definitely that he would be here
Charles S. Berry, vice-commander Of
the Legion, is scheduled to make a
speech. Mr.. Berry has accepted the
invitation issued by the local post.
AS this will be the largest conven-
ton held in Georgia outside Of At
lanta this year, citizens of Waycross
not members of the Ware County
post or not directly connected with
the Legion are lending every effort
to make the convention a success. The
business men of the city are lined up
solidly behind the movement and the
various civic and fraternal organiZa-
tions of the city have pledged their
assistance.
In addition to the swamp trip, a
parade on the morning of July 4, a
baseball game, several dances, box
ing bout, probably with Young Strib-
ling as the headliner, and numerous
other features are being planned by
the committees.
The convention of the Woman's s
Auxiliary to the American Legion,
bringing large number of ladies to
the city, will also be held on the same
dates.

TOERECT 5000
SEATSFOR GAME
Preparations Set On Foot For
Appearance OF Ty Cobb
Here April a

Seats for 5000 persons will be
erected at the Playground for the Ty
Cobb baseball game there on the af-
ternoon of April d. This developed
at meeting of community leaders
held at the Community House Friday
afternoon at the call of President
Cargill of the Playground association,
to plan for the coming game. The
seats will be erected on an incline, so
all may have an unobstructed view
Of the diamond. If the advance de-
mand for tickets is sufficient to war
rant, still more seats will be erected.
A specia Icommittee will be named by
President Cargill to handle the seat
ing arrangements. If the weather is
fair and roads good a crowd of be-
tween 5000 and 5000 is confidently
expected at the game. Inquiries are
already coming in from as far distant
as Wayeross, because of the personal
appearance here of Ty Cobb and the
fact that the teams will not be seen
anywhere else south of Macon. Tick
cts will be placed on sale at all sur
rounding towns.
1t was decided at the meeting to
take out weather insurance in adj
vance, so as to protect the promotion
Of the game entirely. This insurance,
in case Of rain, will take care of all
advance expenses entered into, such
as erection of seats, widespread adj
vertising, etc.
1t was practically decided to charge
81 general admission fee to the game,
with probably so cents for all school
children.
The diamond will be leveled and
put in first class condition for the
game, in which a number of stars of
the baseball world will participate,
among them Ty Cobb himself. The
contract with the teams calls for the
personal appearance in the game Of
Ty Cobb.
President Cargll was authorized
to appoint number of committees to
handle various details of the arrange
ments for the game and to proceed
with the undertaking. A number of
ladies were present and took an in
terested part in the discussion, hearth
iy endorsing the bringing of the con-
test here and it's staging under the
sponsorship of the Playground asso-
citation. Hany civic organizations
were represented at the meeting.
