RANGED JI ST NOW. Americus is winning a great reputa tion as a baseball center for visiting teams from the different leagues in the state. A committee from Montezuma, composed of Oscar McKenzie, J. B. Guerry and J. L. Reid met in the office of the Chamber of Commerce yester day with Mr. H. D. McLendon, of Daw son ; H. E. Allen and Secretary E. H. Hyman, representing Americus, for the purpose of forming a series of ten games and adjusting the rules under which they would be played. The meeting was presided over by Mr. Allen, and after much discussion it was decided that Americus would get the first two games between the clubs of Dawson and Montezuma, on Mondav and Tuesday, August 2d and 3d. The next three games would be play ed at Dawson on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, August 4th, sth and 6th. Then three games would be played at Montezuma, the dates selected being Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, Au guest 9th and 10th and 11th. After these games are played, the two clubs will coms to Americus and pull off two of the greatest games of ball ever played here for the games will give one of the two clubs the pennant. , Numerous prizes will probably be of fered by the Americus people for the most home runs and other stunts by single players. A grand prize will also be given to the club winning the pan nant. Moran, the greatest umpire of the South, will umpire all ten games, and any one knowing his reputation with the National League, Southern League and the South Atlantic League, know that he will produce ten of the best games of ball in local history. The games will be well advertised by Secretary Hyman, and will be a big event to draw visitors from the sur rounding towns. Dawson and Monte zuma will bring about 2,000 people with them. Then again negotiations were opened up over the long dis tance ’phone today with President E. G. Jacobs of the Macon Baseball asso ciation, to have two games played in Americus between Macon and Colum bus. This would mean a great crowd for the two games and the fans would come from Albany Columbus and other towns very near Americus. Another thing in Americus’ favor is the fact of our good roads in this section Auto toists could come through in their cars from either Macon or Columbus with ease the roads being in perfectly good condition. Letters have gone to President Ja cobs from Mr. Egbert Allen and Sec retary Hyman today and he will take the matter up with the Columbus epo ple on Monday and wire his decision in the matter. The Chamber of Commerce is get ting down behind these ball games and trying to secure as many out of town clubs to play here as possible, believing that they will draw many visitors to our city, and the business men will be well repaid for the trou ble. An effort will be made in August to secure ong of the National or Ameri can Leagues big teams to come here and have practice games next spring. To secure this club It is necessary to begin work trying to land one during the month of August. Let’s get ’em. Let’s have Americus famous as a base ball center. Good advertising this.
