EVEXTS BETWEEN VALDOSTA
AND THOMASVILLE WILL GIVE
UNUSUAL INTEREST.
August thirteenth will be a big
day In baseball circles In Thomas-

when the Valdosta baseball manage
ment consented to transfer a posi
tioned game, scheduled to be played
In Valdosta to Thomasville on that
day. /
The Valdosta team plays here on
the eleventh and twelfth and the lo
cal management decided that it
would be a mighty good plan to have
a special field day, in addition to a
legular game on that occasion.
A committee will be appointed to
can/as the merchants of the city,
and ask them to close at two o’clock
on that day. The field event* will
begin at two thirty and continue for
an hour. Both teams will partici
pate and there will be prizes donated
for each event by Thomasville mer
