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.
