BASEBALL FANS
MEET MONDAY
NIGHT AT HOTEL
Plans have been perfected for hold

at seven o clock, at which time it will
be definitely decided whether or not

at sixty cents, and can be secured from
either Mr. George Woodrow, Mr. Wil
bur Ham, Mr. T. B. Leake, Mr. Sam
Verner, Mr. Madison Milium, or other
members of the arrangements commit
tee.
A large crowd of baseball fans should
be on hand, since upon the action of
this meeting depends the question ol
[good baseball, or poor baseball —or
none this year on the local diamond.
If steps are taken to have good hall,
it is understood a number of fine young
college players can be secured, since

a Cartersville uniform during the 1923
season.
It’s “Play Ball," or not—just as the
fans see fit to say at the meeting next

if enough drops fall on a given area

means disaster.
To control these drops is one of the
big problems of the hour. First, to keep
them from sweeping over the land,
leaving death and devastation in their
wake. Who in Georgia has not a vivid
mental picture of the rivers, even the
creeks, “up,” out of their banks, and
sweeping over the fields, washing away
crops i fences, trees, tearing up roads
and bridges, and leaving hundreds
homeless?
