acceptance of the invitation to Judge
Harris which was forwarded him Sat
urday afternoon.
With the last game of the aeries base
ball closes in this good old town, that
is, until the curtain rises on the 1915
season.
So, there are really hut nine more
games that the fans will be able to
see in Augusta—and they are going
to b© good games at rtiat, so tifere
you are.
The fans in this city have patron
ized baseball better than those In oth
er RalJie League towns have done.
Now, almost when the season is about
to break up a bunch of them stop at
tending the games—a pretty stiff
bunch at that —now that won’t do;
It’ll never do to say that the local fans
threw the club down at the very last
minute; no there are but nine more
games, so let’s all attend them. It’ll
give the club something to start on
next season, for it’s been determined
that Augusta will have baseball in
1915 as well as In the past. Let's all
attend tomorrow In a body and for
the other nine games to come.
