BASEBALL FANS TO
HOLD Big MEETING
TUESDAY EVENING

All baseball fans of Augusta will
be present Tuesday evening at a
meeting which is to be held at the
Chamber of Commerce assembly
room for the purpose of forming an
Augusta Baseball Association. OFF,
GERS are to be elected at the time
and steps will be taken to incorpor-
ate the association.
A plan has been formulated by
Secretary r. +. Beane of the pres
ent association by which it will be
possible to raise fund sufficient to
carry first class team through the
entire season without securing sub
scriptions from time to time from
various individuals. The chances
are that there will be a state league
in 1924 and Augusta will want to
have really first class team. This
plan will make this possible.
The meeting Is to be held at 7.3O
at the Chamber of Commerce as
sembly room and all interested are

BODY OF LATE PRESIDENT
 LEAVES WHITE HOUSE

Washington. Aug. 9-The body of Warren G. Harding yesterday made it's last solemn progress down Penn sylvania Avenue from the White House to the Capitol over the hal lowed route which has been travers- ed by so many of our Nations Presi- dents, great in life and death.
 At 10:19 yesterday morning a Marine Bugler standing at attention beneath the pillared Portice of the Presidents Mansion sounded a call which was instantly answered from the Marine band of Gales with ruffle of drums and at that moment the doors of the White House was thrown slowly open and a flag wrap ped casket appeared borne by twelve soldiers. The late President was leaving for the last time the place where for more than two years he had resided as Chief Executive of the Nation. to return for the last time to the Capitol where he had first served as United States Senator and thence to return to Marion. Ohio which was his home before being elected to the Presidency.

Harding was given into Gods keep ing at noon yesterday by men of high place in the affairs of the Na- tion who had served with him in the two short years of his leadership for the glory of the flag that draped his casket as simple in it's dignity and it's high faith in the goodness of God as the man whose passing had marked it religiously.
 The ceremony took bare 20 min utes then under the ceaseless vigil of the motionless sentries who stood at the corners of the bier by the casket on which the sorrow of a Nation and the entire world had been poured out. the sorrOwing pro- cessional continued until the hour set for the beginning of the arrange ments for the journey to Marion which was P.

 RECEIVES FUNERAL TRAIN

Washington, Aug. e-Harding's funera, train freighted with the sor- row of Nation arrived at 10:20 P. NJ. in Washington on Tuesday August 7th instead of Monday as stated in a previous dispatch to the Nugget. The other dispatch stated that the train was 1 hours late which was also a mistake as the train according to later dispatch was nine hours late arriving at Washington where thousands jam med the concOurse as the train back ed into the station so that the fun- eral car with its flag draped casket rolled into the station first and came to stop where the little group head ed by President Coolidge waited. The lights in the funeral car cast bright glow in the big train shed as Mrs. Harding stepped of the car leaning on Secretary Christians arm and Doctor Sawyer on her other side.
 The band in the concourse began playing Nearer My God to Thee. Mrs. Harding walked erect but slow ly along the platform, she needed no support having stood the trip we'll.
