So, there are really hut nine more games that the fans will be able to see in Augusta—and they are going to b© good games at rtiat, so tifere you are. The fans in this city have patron ized baseball better than those In oth er RalJie League towns have done. Now, almost when the season is about to break up a bunch of them stop at tending the games—a pretty stiff bunch at that —now that won’t do; It’ll never do to say that the local fans threw the club down at the very last minute; no there are but nine more games, so let’s all attend them. It’ll give the club something to start on next season, for it’s been determined that Augusta will have baseball in 1915 as well as In the past.
