ORGANIZED BALL
BAD FIRST SBOT
AT WARREN PARK
A little gossip hss been circulated
around Augusta for the pnat week, in
regards to the Pittsburg Federal
League baseball team not being al
lowed to train in thla city, aa an
nounced.
Thla much la certain, the "Out
laws" will train In Augusta, and will
arrive here about the 6th of March,
and there will be in the neighborhood
of thirty persona in the party, In
cluding the players, their wives and
newspaper men. The contract has
already been drawn up. signed and
the "official seal" put upon it. There
fore, there I* no way of geetlng out
of it.
The talk has been running some
th hat to the effect that In spite of
the fact that the contract has been
signed, that someone Is going to
"crawfish," and the Feds won't be
allowed to come here And that the
“baekwa. 1” act will be ataged on ac
count of organized ball not wanting
a Federal League learn to train In
organized territory. Authorltlee who
drew uf> th* contract, the lesseea of
the paik here, deny the rumor, how
ever. end slate that they gave or
ganized ball ihe first shot at the
training grounds, before they even
considered an offer from ihe new ag
gregation.
Brooklyn Had Option.
It Is stated that Brooklyn, of Ihe
National League, hud an option on
the park, and that Instead of letting
the officials of the park In Augusta
know that they would not train here
tills season, went ahead nnd leased
grounds elsewhere, and that for sev
eral months after they had definitely
decided to train In another section
of the South, they then derided to In
firm Augusta 11 . n r they did not . •
to exercise their option. This set the
leasing "f the park *• «< u somewhat
Then. ,|uat as soon as It was known
that Brooklyn would not train hrre,
organized ball was notified that the
grounds were open to any learn In
tha organization, for spring training
grounds It seems that no team
wanted to come. When this fact was
determined, why the lessees then went
to work to get the signature of tha
Pittsburg Federate
And new that everything is fixed,
It Is understood that O. B. doesn't
want an "Outlaw" team to train tn
their territory There's a lot in
wantln: and getting a thing, and this
fact will h e demonstrated when the
Pittsburg team hits Augusta, bring
ing with them a number of followers,
puts up at one of the leading hotels
and then marches down to Waiuen
Turk each afternoon, and prepares for
the big struggle of the I*l6 season.
