GAME FRIDAY
Madison A||ies With Conch Wal

1929. Cadets en Sooth
Georgia Trip Next Month
The curtain will rise at three
thitry Friday afternoon on the G. M.
C. baseball season, for 1920 when
Coach Wallace Butts and his Madi
son Aggies invade Davenport field
in the first game of the season.
Slap Rentz closed the training sea
son for the red and black Thursday
with a nine that looks like winners.
The pitching staff has presented the
greatest problem to the veteran
coach hut four regulars have been
picked that he believes will take his
team through the season riding high.
The team this year will boast four
hard hitting players. The infield
is well balanced with a strong de
fensive inner wall. Coach Rentz
could not make any promises as to
what his team would do but he felt
certain of a fighting diamond crew
that would be in there with plenty
of opposition for all opponents.
The game Friday promises to he
one of the best opening games of
several season. The cadets did not
put a team in the field last year, due
to the fact that the grounds were
being made over for the football sea
son and the erecting of the Legion
Memorial fence. The team this y<
is the first in two years and fans i
edging themselves for the season.
The cadets will take a trip through
South Georgia early next month
meeting the leading teams in that
section and will return hei
series of games with outstanding
teams.

Piping of gas from the Louixana
Gas fields to Georgia with Milledge-
ville as the extent of the present
survey, will begin within the next
few weeks it was learned from the
headquarters of the Southern Natu
ral Gas Corporation in Birmingham.
The engineers of the company
have already begun the survey lead
ing to this city which will take in
all principal cities along the route
in Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee
and Georgia. The line will end at
Miiledgeville which will be a branch
line from the main trunk that will
be brought to Macon. The proposed
system will comprise approximately
900 miles of transportation and dis
tribution mains with sufficient com
pressor stations along the various
points in the trunk line to maintain
adequate gas pressure.
A twenty-five year franchise was
granted the Gas Corporation by the
City Council last fall. The company
expects to be ready to supply the
city by October of this year.
The work on parts of these mains
has already begun and the Georgia
end is now being surveyed.
The gas will be brought here in
such quantities that the Institutions
and private homes alike can take
advantage of the gas as a heating
and cooking commodity.
A corps of experienced engineers
will come to this city and handle the
installation of the lines and connec
tions into the private homes.
