The Georgian last year suggested
the organization of such a league
in south Georgia and mentioned
these six cities as acceptable ones
to compose a six-club circuit.
At the same time a north Geor
gia league along similar lines was
proposed, the pennant winners of
the two leagues to play post-season
games for the state minor league ;
championship. Thus far, however, i
the north Georgia movement has
not taken shape.
Available cities in this section
from which six could be selected I
are Rome, Dalton and Marietta in
the northwest: Athens. Elberton
and Gainesville in the nortneast.
and'Griffin, Newnan and LaGrange
in the south part of north Geor
gia. Two from each of these
groups could be taken in. Since
the Southeastern league has not
thus far been revived. Rome is
without a league berth and Would
likely be interested in such a propo
sition. Anyway, it's worth talking
about.

shy on pitching strength.
