Play Twelve Straight Games
In Augusta Before Leaving
Again—Open With Albany.
The Combaeks will lock horns with
the Albany Babies in this city Thurs
day afternoon. This will be the open
ing game of the twelve straight games
to be played here —that is, before the
locals hit the road again.
Manager Brouthers very probably
“told his men something.’’ At least
one should think that he has, judging
from the manner in which they have
been working lately. Augusta will
play four different clubs during the
stay in this city, taking on each one in
a series of three games.
Hard to Recognize.
The local fans will hardly be able
to recognize the Augusta aggregation
when they arrive as the line-up has
changed a great deal. All that was
bad h„s been cast off and good ma
terial put in its place, so, therefore,
the “good old team” is guaranteed to
put up some exhibition.
The local fans are expected to turn
out in gala attire in order to show
“Augusta’s national sport representa
tives" that their efforts are appreci
ated. The one and only way to show
these men this is to “break an at
tendance record" —and that is certain
ly what is going to he done —judging
from the current talk of the baseball
fans.
A Surprise.
“Babe’s” aggregation somewhat
surprised the fans when they copped
two games out of the series from
Jacksonville. It was thought by many
that this was an impossibility, but it
was proven that such was not a fact
—and. furthermore, this same aggre
gation is going to pull a few more
surprises, and if the fans want to wit
ness them there can be no other way
than to be down at the bail park,
starting at the first game Thursday
and continue going until the twelve
consecutive games are finished. So
let’s pull together—not only the loyal
Comback fans but the knockers as
well.

Federal League Pretty Well Cluttered Up
With Sluggers of the Cobb , Jackson
and Speaker Varieties
Now York.—The Federal League
seems to be pretty well cluttered up
with sluggers of the Jackson, Cobb,
Speaker and Lajoie type, if the avail
able dope on the batting averages is
correct.
Just at the present time about a
dozen Feds are clubbing over or
around .400—a terrific clip—while
nearly 30 are swatting over .300, with
a number of others within hailing dis
tance of that mark.
Some folks may think that this club
bing is due to weak pitching, but that
hazard seems discounted by the fact
that Joe Tinker, who batted .317 last
year w’ith Cincinnati, is hitting ’em
for only a trifle over .200 in the new
organization. Otto Knabe, a .263 bat
ter last year, is under .200, while
“Mickey” Doolan is something like 100
points below his clouting average for
last year.
If the Fed pitchers were something
of a pie counter proposition, it seems
that this trio would be among those
present at the moments when the pie
is being distributed.
Ever so often some persons, quite
prejudiced toward the new organiza
tion, rush into print with a frantic
query about: “Who’ve them Feds got
for pitchers, anyway? I’d like to know.
Nuthin’ but a buneha dubs, that’s all.”
Oh, very well; they can have it
their way. But don’t you think that
any league that possesses such pitch
ers as Tom Seaton, Fred Falkenhurg,
Earl Moore, Mordecai Brown, Nick
Cullop, Goprge Packard, Cy Barger,
Howard Camnitz, Claude Hendrix,
George Mullin, Ad Brennan, Bobby
Groom, George Suggs, Elmer Knetzer,
Maxwell, Willett, Lafltte, Moseley,
Gene Krapp, Doc Crandall, Quinn and
a few other former stars of the Amer
ican and National Leagues is just a
little other than “weak?”

THE AUGUSTA HERALD. AUGUSTA. GA.
While on the subject of the Federal
League we wish to Introducye a few
more remarks from Frank Chance,
boss of tlie Yankees, who is very, very
sure that the Feds will blow up before
the year is out.
"This promises to be the worst year,
from a financial viewpoint, In the his
tory of baseball,” declares the "Peer
less Leader.” Had the Feds broken
into big league circles in other years
they might have had a chance for
success. But they haven’t now. The
patronage this year everywhere is
woefully small, and it means that the
Feds must go down under it.
“As far as I can see there’s just as
much interest in baseball as in other
years, but there’s also a lot of inter
est in the war. ’The baseball public
which went to parks in other years
now satisfies its baseball appetite h>
watching the score boards. In this
way they not only can find the re
sults of the ball games, but also can
read the latest war bulletins.
"If the war hysteria dies down it’s
likely that tho fans will resume their
journeys to the parks. But even if
they do start to come in the next few
weeks it will not make up for the
heavy losses already sustained by the
magnates through poor attendance io
date.
“The Feds must have felt the ef
fects of this poor attendance, and I
don’t doubt but that many of the mag
nates are disgusted and ready to throw
up the sponge.”
Bread is the staff of life.
SENSATION FLOUR makes the
best. ’Nouqh said.
