Atlanta Crackers
May Televise Four
Games Weekly
ATLANTA — (GPS) The big,
unsolved problem of whether
baseball and television can live
together may be solved, in part,
at least, if a proposed plan just
announced by Earl Mann, presi
dent of the Atlanta Crackers,
works out satisfactorily for all
parties concerned. But right now
the whole experimental plan, ।
which calls for televising four
Cracker home games a week, is
entirely up to the baseball fans,
themselves. Here’s the deal:
As a major community proj
ect, the Atlanta Junior Chamber
of Commerce is sponsoring a
ticket-selling campaign. If the
young businessmen, who with
the aid of their fellow Jaycees
over the state, sell 25,000 TV
Booster Ticket Books between ■
now and April 1, the Cracker
management will permit Sunday i
doubleheaders and Monday and
Wednesday night games to be
televised during the 1953 season, i
which opens April 10.
Each TV Booster Book, con
taining four grandstand tickets j
good for any game at Ponce De
Leon Park, either exhibition or ;
regular season games, sells for
$5, the regular price per game.;
Through this advance ticket sale, ।
the Crackers would be assured of
not losing too much revenue at
the gate when fans stay home I
to watch the games on their TV I
sets. In the event these games i
are televised, the Crackers would
not receive any money at all for
th TV rights. They would be car- J
ried over WSB-TV, Channel 2.
“As everybody must know, the
question of whether or not to
televise baseball presents a big

NOTICE
To the Taxpayers of Chattooga County
Beginning this year the laws regulating the re
turns of property for taxation will be strictly and
rigidly enforced. Each and every taxpayer MUST
file a return on or before April 1, 1953, and each
tax return must accurately and in detail set forth
the property owned by the taxpayer. In the case
of land, each tract must be itemized separately
and a separate evaluation must be placed by the
taxpayer on each tract.
No homestead exemptions will be allowed where
no timely tax return is made.
Penalties will be imposed where property is omit
ted from tax return.
Where individual tracts or lots are omitted, or
are not separated and evaluated individually,
such individual tracts will be treated as unreturn
ed property and the taxpayer will be subjected to
a penalty.

problem,” Mr. Mann said. “It has
always been our aim to do every
thing possible to give the base
ball ppblic what it wants. We
demonstrated that when we tele
vised games in 1949, 1950 and
1951. We would like to see them
televised again this season.
“But as you can see, there is a
big problem involved in such an
undertaking. After all, no ball
club can survive unless it makes
a reasonable profit. If there’s no
profit, there’s no team, and
without a team there will be no
i game to televise. Unless every
i body concerned pitches in ano
puts this thing over, it is out of
the question for us to put our
games on TV. Baseball is too
good a game to take a back seat
to any other form of entertain
ment. We want everybody inter
ested in this great game to enjoy
it, whether at the ball park or in
their homes. We sincerely hope
the Jaycees are successful in
this, their latest community
। project.”
Incidentally, out-of-town fans I
! may purchase the TV Booster
I Books by sending remittances to I
Atlanta Crackers, Inc., 650 Ponce j
De Leon Ave., N. E. They prob-
I ably have more stake in the pro
' posed to plan than the strictly lo-
I cal fans. The reason: They can
. get to Atlanta only on certain
: occasions and the other times,
they could be watching the
games on television.
