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 Chicago Defeated. At Chicago— Score by innings: R. H. E.

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?” Win This Baby Auto Shower of Gold Contest The Augusta Daily Herald. pßjp If me, \ A $385.00 Child’s Automobile Call Phone 236 and Ask for the Contest Manager. 639 Broad St. 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. SOUTHERN LEAGUE Montgomery 5, Nashville 3.
