RANGERS HOPE TO RESCUE
Wildlife rangers will rescue approximately 10 million
aarooned fish from drying Georgia lagoons before the end
(September, it is estimated by Martine G. McRae, who
ext week will begin this type of work along the Flint Riv
r near West Point. McRae is chief of the Piedmont Dis
ict of the Division of Wildlife and his rescue campaign
1st fall saved close to a half million fish which otherwise
iould have perished.
Approximately two million fish will be taken
from sloughs and shallow lakes, filled during the
Spring floods, in the Piedmont District, McRae de
clared. Most of these will come from waters along
the ,i rr Flint , and , Chattahoochee -v■ Rivers.
Late" in l his month and throughout August and feep
®ber rescue work will be going on from time to time in
ie Flint diver and Plains Districts. Fish in these districts

American Leaguers Play
Mondays, Nationals
On Thursdays
By Tom Kinney
Covington News Sports Editor
Covington’s softball league was re-organized Tues
day night at a meeting in Col. Tuck’s office. All manag
ers of teams were present and voted to set aside two nights
per week as league-playing nights. The fast (American)
league clubs will play a double-header on Monday nights
and the slow (National) league teams will play twin games
on
The meetings was brought to
order with the general feeling
that four nights a week was too
much softball Leo Masten
made the motion that only two
nights per week be used as lea
gue games nights. It was car
ried and Monday nights were
named for the American league
and Thursday nights for the Na
tional. Thus leaving three ni
ghts in the week for schedul
ing out of town games.
Doc Vining made a motion
that each game be given 1:15;
that no new inning could be
started after 9:15; o’clock second
to start within 10-minutes after
hethe first has ended.
Another motion of importance
was put before the house and
carried; That all players on
teams in the league will be ad
mitted free of charge to league
games Managers of each team
is to furnish the gate-keeper
with a list of his players
second next Monday
mght porterdale and Philco
will meet in the first game and
Covington Mill will play Red
Cross in he second tilt. A new
week.
Everyone agrees that we have
had too much softball and its is
believed that better crowds will
out since the playing nights 1
turn
have been cut. in half. If you
like fast softball you can see
four teams on Monday nights
and if you want to watch the
slow league teams play Thursday
nights will see all four clubs in
action.
It is believed that the new
rule which pemits all players in
the league to witness league
games free of charge will prove
a good move. Thus players in
the National league will turn out
