DAUGHERTY SUPERIOR
Film COURT BEGINS SESSION

q d
ALBANY, March 24,-Dougherty
County Superior Court for the
spring term convened in Albany
Monday morning at 10 o'clock, with
Judge w. v. Custer, of cambridge
presiding, and Solicitor General B.
G. Gardner, of Camilla, represent
ing the state in criminal prosecu-
tions.
From indications now, it will be
one of the most uneventful terms
of superior court held in this eoun-
ty in recent years. No criminal
cases of a serious nature are listed
for trial, and it is not believed that
many cases of wide interest will
come up, unless the grand jury de-
yelops something not now anticipat,
ed.
One matter of interest which the
grand jury will probably pass on is
Che question of the Australian bal
lot law, which is enacted for coun,
ties in Georgia by recommendations
of two successive grand juries. The
last grand jury in Dougherty coun-
ty made such a recommendation,
and all that is needed TO make the
law effective in Dougherty coun-
ty is a recommendation by che
grand Jury at the term opening
Monday.

AMERICUS FANS TO
ENJOY REAL TREAT

Americas baseball fans are in for
a real treat on Tuesday afternoon
when the Baltimore and Reading
Clubs of the International League,
one of the fastest Glass IA circuits
in the country, appear here IN an
exhibition contest. The Baltimore
Orioles, champions of the Interna-
tional for the past five years, are
now in training at Columbus, while
the Reading Keystones are boiling
out at Albany.
The Orioles will be accompanied
here by Owner and Manager Jack
Dunn, the only man in baseball who
has ever piloted team to five
consecutive championships. Spenc-
err Arthur Abbott, who managed the
Memphis Southern League cham
pions of 1921, is at the helm of the
Reading outfit. There is unusual
rivalry between the Orioles and
Keystones. Although the former re
tanned the international flag in 1928
they lost six games in row to the
Keystones at the start of the cam
paign and the sting of this setback
is still sore spot with them. The
Keystone finished third in the race.
Among the leading stars with the
Keystones are Al Mamaux, star
pitcher in the National League with
the Pirates and Robins for 10 years
Dick Hoblitzell, manager of the
Charlotte South Atlantic League
champions last season and formerly
a first sacker for the Cincinnati
Reds and Boston Red Sox for many
years; and Joe Horan, an outfield-
er, who led the nation in hitting
last season while with Des MONIES
in the Western League with the re-
markable batting average of All.
Other former major leagues with.
the Reading tribe and Pitchers
Paddy Martin, Walter Smallwood
and Oscar Tuero; Infielder Hack
Miller and 0utfielder Tommy Con
nelly and Catchers Pat Haleyand
Byrd Lynn.
Baltimore boasts Of one of the
strongest aggregations ever ASSEM-
bled in minor league baseball. For
five years the Orioles have been in
vincible. Jack Dunn has a number
of stars being sought by the majors,
During the winter he rejected an OF
fer of $4,000 for Lefty Groves, his
