The clubs have not been held Ih'licNlrida
by tradition, and. many unlqtte and

enliven play. Circuit wallops - have
occupied the limelight from the start,
and in one game Hevcn were register

as four and five have been rung up by
aspiring batters..
The season just closed is the second
successful one that has been en
countered. The present, organization
was an outgrowth of the old South
western league that contained several
of the towns now composing the Geor-
gin-Alabama.
Many promising youngsters have
been produced this past season and
numbets of these have received calls
to leagues ’of higher classification.
Several have illready been recruited
by Southern league clubs, while dur

their appearance in this company.

part of May, wan Were trouble that
threatened the existence of the or
ganization, and ,thiv was the blowing
up of the Gadsden club. But this was
quickly disposed of when league direc
tors adopted a plan .for the transfer
ring of the club to leaguo authorities.
This proved successful and the league
finished out the'neiiHon in very grati
