Braves We// Fixed for Managers
The Atlanta Braves have two managers or two pitching
coaches—any way you look at it. And it very well could re
sult in a World Series being played in Atlanta this year.
manager at Baltimore in the American League. They un
derstand one another and consequently work together in the
best interest of the Atlanta Braves.
It is possible that Richards has had something to do
with speeding the tempo of spring practice. Several of the
players say they haven’t worked so hard in spring training
in all their professional lives.
Richards when he was manager of the Atlanta Crackers
and winning his share of pennants in the Southern League,
always insisted on his teams being in top shape, starting
with spring training.
Conditioning pays off. A ball player in shape is less lia
ble to injury. A well-conditioned team is a hustling team,
and that is going to result in perhaps a National League
championship for the Braves in 1967.
With Richards on the job, don’t sell them short.

Dogwood
Planted
At Bank
At this season of the year
many gardeners are leafing
through seed catalogs and
browsing through nurseries,
however, members of Came
lot Garden Club in Jones
boro began spading and
digging in earnest last week
when they planted a beauti
ful pink dogwood tree in the
landscaped area at the Bank
of Jonesboro.
The planting was in ap
preciation of the use of the
bank’s Community Room,
where the organization
meets each month.
Officers of Camelot Gar
den Club are Mrs. Owen
Stephenson, president; Mrs.
Floyd Banning, vice presi
dent; Mrs. Marshall Ellis,
treasurer; Mrs. John D.
Lang, corresponding secre
tary, and Mrs. Donald Hall,
recording secretary.
The club feels that the
beauty of Georgia’s favorite
flowering tree will be en
joyed by all citizens and will
add to the beautification of
Jonesboro’s downtown area.
And with the green thumb
knowledge of the combined
membership of Camelot
Garden Club the tree will,
no doubt, grow more beau
tiful each year—and with
tender, appreciative care of
officers and employees of
the Bank of Jonesboro.
