This is a reduction of almost 50 per cent in comparison with the 1948 campaign which saw the Bucs appear here In 15 Sabbath tilts.

But the official league schedule for the coming season was drawn up under the assumption that the two remaining holdouts asrainst Sunday ball Moultrie and Thorn as villc will play games on that day this season. In the event either or both towns do not play Sunday games tha local club will probably arrange to trade playing dates with them. The Pirates are scheduled to p'ay one Sunday game in Thomas-ville and two in Moultrie. Wednesday Popular With the numerous Sunday games drastically reduced here, Wednesday night game3 take over lhe tP spot as the most prevalent playing date. The Bucs are slated to appear here 13 times on Wednesday nights.

The proverbial "Blue Monday" will hold little joy for Pirat fans this season, for the Bucs are scheduled to appear here less frequently on that day than any other days.
