Crackers Aim for Pennant With Strong Twirlers
The Crackers hope to clinch the Southern league pennant as long as their twirlers deliver top form.

Georgia's team is praised, with coach Joe Bean lauded for the championship despite a missed photo session. Bob McWhorter’s farewell looms as a respected athlete departs, and no-hit potential stories echo from rival games. Callers Kings’ viaduct updates intrigue fans keeping Sunday matinees orderly and popular.
