Augusta Merchant: THAT the Mil

tournament is now past history and
that everything was done possible 10
do, was done, is every fans cOnclu-
sion. George Brown pitched a Won
derful game, a brand of flinSing that
would win 90 out of every 100 games.
The team played errorless and batted
heavier than the Twin Towns, cop
ping seven hits to Norways three,
but fate played it's ever important
roll in the affairs of the day and the
deciding game of the tournament was
between others than Augustus own
Millionaircs. The team has won 20
out of % games. which is conclusive
proof of it's ability and every sport
and real fan in the city will bear de-
feat with the same smile as they
wear with a win. Arrangements are
being made to duplicate the .tourna-
ment with the same teams particle
pating and If such can possibly be
carried out, Augusta will again have
opportunity to get back of the Mil
lionaires and boost harder for the
right spirit behind the boys to make
them play"
