WARESBORO BEATS OUR BOYS HELPING BAXLEY ANO SOUTH GA. IN A SNAPPY GAME OF BALL ON LABOR DAY. Waresboro, Ga., September 7.— Some Waycross boys, feeling jubi lant over the fact that the A. C. L. team of their city beat r team from Waresboro, took Labor Day as the time to come down to Waresboro and beat them again, but they were a bit surprised when the Waresboro boys landed on McDonalds delivery for about 20 hltg and scored 11 times in the first game of the double head er played. There was some good play ers on the team from Waycross, among whom were F. Downing and E. McDonald, but on the whole the WaycroBB boys must have had a day off as they made a great many more errors than scores. The evening game was not any better, as Rowell for Waresboro, had them at his mercy throughout the whole game. A feature of the game was the outfield work for Waresboro and the battery work of Rowell and Durden. The line-up was as follows: Wares boro: Spence, 3b; Hargraves, If; Cribb, cf; O. Jeffords, rf; S. Rowell, p; McLaughlin, 2b; H. Jeffords lb; D. White, SB. Waycross;: Nicholson Sb; Westberry If; Shook cf; Dunn rf; Vaughn, ss; Reddish, lb; Morgan, c; Downing, 2b; McDonald p. The score by innings, first game: WBycrosi, Waresboro, Second game: Waycross, Waresboro, The building of the bridge across the Altomaha at Baxley will be one of the most important events In the history of the development of South -Georgia. It will break down and ov ercome the Chinese wall that baa practically cut ux off from east Geor gia and will bring commerce in a stream via Baxley and Waycroit. Savannah is taking great Interest in the work and is nobly responding with her share of the cost. Waycross is also doing her best to swell the fund and build the bridge. For it means much to us in traffic and bus iness. The building of the bridge se cures for Waycross the Savannah- Jacksonville route and the Valdosta- 8avannah route aud will concentrate good road building direct into Way- cross. The bridge will be a three Epan steel bridge, 550 feet long and 16 feet wldOk with a drawbridge, cap able of supporting twenty tons. The cost of the bridge and approaches will be approximately $30,000 and more than $20,000 has already been subscribed. The bridge will be a toll bridge at first and will doubtless be a fine investment. It is anticipated that eventually Toombs and Appling counties, on each side, will buy the bridge and mako it free to all.
