Covington Mill's Trojans are now in a baseball
Five other teams, at a meteing Monday night at
roe, joined hands with the Trojans in an effort to
l fans throughout this section better baseball.
Griffin, Lithonia, Ola and Jackson are the other
lyj^ bet's
n There is still doubt about Ola putting a
some
~r team in the league. However, if Ola fails to join up
another club will lake their proposed place. It is
b hoped that Ola will get into thf organization. Really,
V league ball is about the only type that holds a great
deal of interest.
r The schedule of the games has not been drawn up
nr yet. There will lie two halves, a first half winner will
rt play a last half victor for the league championship. The
; team being crowned champion of the league will then be

treasurer at the Monroe Meeting, the boys failed to
I elect a president for the league. Tubby Walton, also
of Atlanta, was mentioned for the post.
1 Tubby Walton is a regular guy and it is hoped that
i! he will accept the offer but if he should fail to there is
I 1 naturally a desire to have a Covington man in the

when this is read might we suggest that R. 0. Arnold,

< is a very busy fellow' but if he could be enticed to offer
his services the league would have an excellent president.

1 JESSE JAMES USED A GUN, BOYS!
t Quite a few Covington baseball fans attended the
Atlanta-Nashville game in Atlanta last Sunday after
noon. And everyone I have talked with is talking about
1 Umpire Red Jones. They call him “the boy bandit with
out a gun.”
With fans sitting in-all sections of the park there,
naturally, were many different ways to see the play
which cost the Crackers a tie game. However, when
i all these people, sitting in different sections, report
Umpire Jones was wrong then he must have been.
I It is quite true that people do not see things alike,
I Jack Troy, sports editor of The Constitution, was sitting
i in the press box along with several other writers. Troy
thinks Jones called the play right. Some of the other
i guys didn’t think so. This reporter was also in the
box. It is high over home plate and affords one a good
view of umpire’s decisions. The way the play looked to
! Mauldin safe old maid aunt
me ' was as as mv
Greek George, etcher For the N..hUll« V„U.
■ blocked Mauldin off the plate while he got the ball
: but one of Mauldin’s feet was on the plate when
« George tagged him. George held Mauldin s left foot
high in the air but the Cracker centerfielder cer
tainly put his right foot on the plate before the ball
was put on him.
The statement Manager Paul Richards made
staying on the good side of the umpires this season
have been the McCoy. The man really had grounds
cut a shine Sunday. After losing two straight games
then have an umpire i*ob your chances of a tie game is
nomething to make you red headed even if it was one of
the Jones boys who did it.

Great Pitcher Gone With Wind
Above is Dizzy Dean, the greatest pop-off guy in baseball. He won his first start for the
Chicago Cubs in Spring practice and quickly went on one of his well known talking exhibitions. Dizzy

It seems that the guy hurting Dizzy most is Mrs. Dzan's boy, Dizzy. Most of the sportwriters are “off"
