Americus baseball enthusiasts
hd a meeting last night at which
the club was re-organized with the
selection of Joe Jackson as tield
captain, in charge of the players
on the field, and Thos. L. Bell re
tained as manager. At the begin
ning of the meetin, in order to per
mit of a most thorough rc-organi
zation, all of the member ol i|:e
board of directors submitted then
resignations which were accepted
and a new managing committee
named.
This committee is composed of
Nathan Murray, chairman; Rufus
Lane and Thomas L. Bell. Mr.
Bell was retained as manager of the
team in addition to being placed
upon the directorate. Other offi
cials elected were A. C. Crockett,
secretary-treasurer; Stuart Prather,
assistant treasurer, and Robert C.
Lane in charge of ticket sales.
Following the re-organization
steps were taken to formulate com
mittees to handle the several de
partments necessary to the opera
tions of the team, these being as
follows:
Transportation Committee.
Sam Coney and Alton Cogdell.
Advertising Committee. —Theton
Jennings and W. W. Ray.

Field Manager.—Joe Jackson.
Directors who submitted their

Robert C. Lane, Theron Jennings,
Thos. L. Bell, W. W. Ray, A. C.
Crockett, Rufus Lane, Lovelace Eve
and H. P. Everett, and in accepting
these resignations the thanks of the
fans were extended to the retiring
officials for their past labors in
behalf of the club.
Another important action taken
at the meeting was the adoption
of a resolution asking all ceditors
of the team to present their bills
weekly, in itemized form, not latbr
than SatuVdryy rfightj though ,an
exception to this rule is to be made
the first week, when bills will be
received until 8 o’clock next Mon
day morning. Tibs was done in or
der to facilitate the affairs of the
team and to insure a weekly ac
counting of the funds handled.
THE PLAY
Hrere are two plays involving
a foul tip.
There are two strikes on the
batter. He swings at the next
ball and fouls it slightly. It
strikes the catcher’s protector and
bounds off, the catcher recovering
the bal 1 before . it touches the
ground.
Now for play number two.
There are two strikes on the bat
ter. He swings at the next ball,
fouling it off. It strikes the
catcher between the mask and
protector, and is momentarily held
in that position. Then it dislodges
itself and rolls out, the catcher
recovering it before it touches the
ground.
What about these two plays?
THE INTERPRETATION
In all cases where the foul tip
comes directly off the catcher’s
protector, after striking same the
batsman is out if the catcher re
covers the ball before it touches
the ground, provided, tbtre are two
strikes on the batsman, as there
was in play number one.
In play number two, where the
ball was momentarily held between
mask and protector, all chancts for
an out on such a play immediately
cease and the ball becomes dead.

j Player on reaching his ball .finds
that it is imbeddied in some soft
mud. This condition of the turf
was due to a hard rain that had
just fallen on a section of the
fairway that was under repair. It i
is impossible to play the ball as it !
lies. What is the proper procedure?
A ball imbedded in soft mud,
except in a recognized water ;
hazard, shall be deemed to be in
casual water. A player has the
right to remove it from the mud
and drop it without penalty.
