ELLIS TAYLOR IS
SECOND WINGARD'
Joe Jackson Claims Another
Find in Lad Who VIII Hurl
Monday At Americas
By WALTER CAMPBELL

WAYCROsS, July 31.-On Mon
day, August 4th, Joe Jackson's
Waycross Coast Liners will play the
Macon Central OF Georgia team IN
Americas. "Shoeless" Joe is making
his home in Waycross this season
and has a real club, one similar to
the one he used to win the pennant
of the South Georgia League last
season. The trip to Americas has
been planned by Jackson since his
arrival here and has been looked
forward to ON account OF the good
time shown him by Americas pco-
pie last season.
The game in Americas will he
the first of a series Of games on al
road trip to North Georgia. From
Americas the Waycross team will
play the fast Marietta team that has
set up a record almost as eviable as
the one Jackson's crew holds. The
Oglethorpe College team has been
hired by Marietta magnets and as
they are Southern College champ
ions they have long list Of vic
tories.
The Waycross team is composed
of all young boys and is a crack
crew. The team started the season
off in grand style and before they
were halted had set up new
worlds record with twenty nine
straight wins. The standing Of the
team now is fortyfive victories and
six losses, with four games to play
before they reach Americas.
Joe Jackson himself will play tire
Center garden and this "King Of
the Swat bats in the cleanup post

erous with the bludgeon than the in
field men who are Long George"
| Kelton first sacker, 'Ike" Thrasher
7 second base, Leonard Hunt short
stop and Joe Gonzales third base
The latter two named are young
boys of twenty years and are to be
watched as they are sure "biq
league" material. Each man fields
his position to perfection and have
rifle like arms which enables them
to pull spectacular plays.
Horace Long, Lefty Red Stew
art and Ellis Taylor compose the
locals hurting staff while another
man will be added before the inva-
sion. Other Afford does the reciv-
ing and is star by himself. Long
is well known in baseball circles
in Georgia and the Cardinals ana
has won a name for himself by
masterful hurting and his ability
to knock home runs, his totals for
the season are: Pitched twenty
games and won eighteen.
Fourteen home runs, six triples
and twenty-one two-base hits, com
bined with his singles give him a
batting average of 439.
! Stewart is a portside hurler and
hasn't lost a game since he joined
the club. Ellis Taylor who Jack
sons claims to be a Second Win
gard" will probably do tue hurting
IN Americas. This lad is nineteen
and has two brothers IN the big
show.
