OVER THE STATE.
Amatuer and Semi-Professional
Base Ball Outlook For Next
Year Very Bright.
In amatuer and Semi-profession¬
al base ball next year promises to
he a banner season. This year the
interest shown in the game by the
small town all over the state has
been something surprising, turn
mg out and supporting teams that
falls but little short of South At¬
lantic class.
The enthusiasm this year can
only be a forerunner of what one
may expect next year, and amatuer
base ball is receiving a push that
cannot help but send it. right to
the top,
Towns, where two years ago,
hardly enough money could be
made to furnish the clubs in balls,
are now having enclosed grounds
with grandstand, and tremendous
crowds to witness every game, en¬
abling the managers to secure bet¬
ter men and put up a better article
of the sport.
Several towns in the vicinity of
this city have enclosed grounds
and others, that were not able to
build this year, or were late get¬
ting the Inver are already making
plans to have it next year. With
more interest shown in amatuer
ball, it means more interest in
professional branch, and better
amatuer ball means faster league
ball.
Not only are the grounds being
enclosed, the teams regularly or¬
ganized, and the thing rnn in a j
business like fashion, but the
foundation of leagues engrosses the
minds of the fans and already it is
stated on good authority that next
year an effort will be made to or¬
ganize a league among the towns
of Monti cello, Mil ledge viUe, Con¬
yers, Covington, Winder, Monroe,
Madison, Washington and several
other towns of like size in that
section.—Augusta Chronicle.
