CALL FOR FANS TO RALLY TO BALL CLUB’S SUPPORT
Fans Musi Raise $1,500 it Augusta is to Finish
the Season; An Appeal For the Sake of Baseball in
Augusta, Not So Much tor This Year, But tor Future
Augusta Fans Are Real Sports and Do Not Wish to See City
Break Up the League Within a Month of
Season’s Close
A CITY SO GREAT THAT IT CAN BUY
NEARLY MILLION OF LIBERTY BONDS
CAN HELP OUT THE BALL TEAM
Augusta, by Dropping Out of the League, Will Lose Franchise,
Elegant Grandstand Will Be Dead Loss and City Barred
From Professional Baseball Indefinitely.
The- Augusta handball Hub munt rut** $1,500 with which to finish the
M»a*mi Bluntly stated theme ar# the fart* and ft munt hlho b# taken
into oon*4d«*ration that sl.so'* net must be rained, for th** receipts from the
twelve additional name* In tht* Hty have already been taken Into consid
eration The club will owe In H&lfcrte* to players and traveling expenaea
about $2 400. representing mlx weeks’ nalary to the players. Estimating
fiber ally the receipts will be SHO per game for 12 home games, while ori
the road the club receive only SSO per game guarantee which faila to pay
the ex pen#'* on the road by several hundred dollars The calculation that
has been made hh in the needs Is not excessive and. Indeed, It may be a lit
tle shy but with $1,500 raised Augusta can keen her franchise and not cause
the leaiKie to disband Juat four weeks before the season Is over.
President Kalhflelsch has done hia best and when a man of such dy
namic energy and persistence has done hia beet then no more could be ex
pected of any one He simply puts If up to the fans.
The condition nt baseball Is due to the war. The people have had
their minds on the war ever since the aeason started and the crowds have
not been ms lnrge as they would otherwise have been. Then, too, the Au
gu-ts club has not been the winner this year that It was last. For this
the fans do not censure the management. There are good years and bad
years with baseball teams and this year Charleston secured a team which
outclassed every other team causing interest, throughout the entire circuit
to wane very early Miuorj and Columbus quit some time ago and the
season was then divided In half and the second season was scheduled to
end the middle of July There were Just four teams left In the league and
the rules were also changed so that instead of every club keeping all the
borne receipts that a guarantee of SSO for each game he. given the visiting
' ,Uh The matter of changing the rules In regard to the guarantee does not
affect the present situation much, one way or the other. The facts which
stare the management in the face are these; There must he $1,500 raised
and It must be raised quickly.
Naturally the only people to appeal to are the fans. They are urged
In the first place to attend In large numbers the remaining games. It is
true that the team has been in a rut during the past week The boys have
had hard luck In both Charleston and Jacksonville, losing a number of
games by onlv one run They are returning, therefore, under discouraging
auspices for the home slay of three days which begins tomorrow. However,
what the fans want ir red high-class baseball, The question of a pennant
I* not to he considered for sll of iih know' that Augusta Is not a contender
for the pennant this year. President Kslbflelsch and Manager Kubanks
furnished a pennant winner last. year. The, future of baseball In Augusta
Is whst must be considered.
Fans who recall the disastrous baseball days of a few years ago when
Augusts was forced to drop out of »h*» league and stay out for a number
of years, do not wish to see a repetition of this sporting disaster for any
city of our slr.e not to have a baseball team. There w’ere a few game sports
who rallied around Mr Kalhflelsch and. facing what seemed to he Insur
mountable obstacles, the city was placed back In the league and the. back
money due the league was paid In large part. What remained due was
readily arranged for. Baseball was reinstated here on a sound basis and
last year the climax of Augusta's upward stride In baseball affairs came
when a pannant was landed for Warren Park Baseball, it seemed, was
on a firm basis. President Kalhflelsch. realising that the fans needed a
commodious grandstand, went to work and raised funds with which to build *
the elegant structure which now graces the ball park. That grandstand
represents an Investment of $5,000. Now for an appeal to the patriotism of
the ns and to their love of baseball.
In the flret place if the $1,500 la not raised the great efforts to re-es
tablish baseball here will have come to naught.
The grandstand, which has been built with so much pains, will become
R radically a dead lost for, besides baseball, few other sporting events
ave so far been staged there.
Augusta, which was brought back Into the leaaue only after Herculean
l efforts, will forfeit her franchise end be barred from becoming a member
of the league again, certainly for a number of years.
During that period there will be no place to go In summer and fans
•f other cities will count us as "dead ones."
Augusta will ft# advertised to the world a* a city which broke up a
baseball league within four weeks of the end of the season. A pretty bad
advertisement.
It will present the anomalous situation of a city which can subscribe
i#arly a $1,000,000 to "Liberty loan" bonds and hugo sums for other worthy
purposes, but cannot raise $1,500 to have baseball.
The guarantee Is presented by President Kalhflelsch that every aossl
ble economy will be used end the team will be cut down to eleven players.
We know that the fans of Augusta—and they are real sports are go
ing to go to those games that remain and will also go down Into their pock
ets to help the cause along We know they are going to give their dol
lars, their five dollar bills, their tens, twenties and hundreds. Thsy cannot
afford not to do It. Remembar, fans, you are not asked to pay to keep
baseball this year, so much as to keep It here next year and the next and
the next after that.
Then* urn those who may *ay that AupruMa ahnulri drop her franchise
and take the chsncfi of getting rr-Instated. That would not be the right
thing to do. In the flrnt place, because i| would be acting In bad faith with
the other elubn. Alao It muat be remembered that when Augunta dropped
out before It wan very difficult to get back.
We feel, with the president of the club, that the farm, despite the war
conditions, are going to rally to the support of the club and let it finish out
the season The money must he raised to pay players' salaries and for
nothing else Please remember that. Let a strong committee of influential
fans get together and canvas the situation Though the minds of the peo
ple are on war and other matters, the;' will give a few moments to listen
and to help the great national aport.

Great Keystone Combination
Needed to Win Pennants, Says
Mack, Who Is Now Developing
Witt and Grover
BY PAUL PURMAN.
If Connie Mack's plans work out the
fans of a couple of years hence will be
speaking of Grover and Witt as one
of the greatest defensive keystone sack
combinations in baseball.
Since he has been in baseball Mack
has succeeded in developing two great
combinations around second base,
Murphy and Monte Cross and Collins
and Harry. • Just now he is trying to
got the same kind of a combination out
of his two young Infielders, who al
ready show signs of future brilliance.
Both Witt and Grover are very
young. This year is the latter's first
break into the major circles. Witt
played last year.
Although they do not show the pol
ish of many older infielders in the
league they do show they are develop
ing along the same lines that made the
Collins-Harry combination fatal to
anything hit down In their territory.
Their co-operation is superb and
they think quickly, grasping situations
more quickly than many other short
stops and second basemen of far more
experience.
Mack is very confident of their abil
ity to ultimately produce the same
kind of fine tight infield play that he
developed In the Cross-Murphy, Col
lins-Barry combinations.
“It takes more than mechanical abil
ity to produce the proper results
around second base," Mack said. “It
takes brains and the ability for close
co-operation. I believe I will get all
three In Witt and Grover.”
It Is one of Mack's beliefs that a
great hall club cannot be developed
without a great second base combina
tion.
He cites Ferris and Parent of the
old Boston club. Cross and Murphy and
Collins and Barry of his own clubs,
Tinker and Evers of the Cubs, Barry
and Scott of the Bed Sox and Maran
ville and Evers of the 19W Braves.
To these might be udded Schaeffer
and O’Leary of Detroit, for several
years considered one of the best second
combinations In the American league
and who were in no small degree re
sponsible for Detroit winning the
American league flag three years in
succession
It is difficult to Judge the effective-.
S^rnTTvil
Well, Augusta hasn’t lost the Ne-Hi
championship, anyway.
A pinch hitter is so named, we pre
sume. because he usually doesn’t hit

the number of chances made by the
fielders who have passed from the
game and whose real work is only:

The combinations just mentioned
handled everything that came to the
middle of the diamond. Some have
been credited with errors on hard
chances they went after and missed
and the records show that the really
tight infield is often an infield with
more errors than one which does not
play such tight baseball.
The records uphold Mack's conten

nation.
Mack has been a great developer of
inflelders. In addition to his short
stops and second basemen he develop

making a good third sacker out of Hay
