Eufaula Whipped Us Easily.

The Dawson boys came home from
Eufaula without plcuking any new lau-
rels from the diamond. They lost both
games there, the scores being II to 0 and
II to 4. But it took both the states of
Alabama and South Carolina to do it,
and our boys are not as much pestered
about their defeat as they otherwise
would have been. The Eufaula boys
have promised to meet the Monarchs on
the Dawson diamond, and they may
come up tomorrow or next day. They
will find hospitable welcome and a
very warm game of ball awaiting them.
The only trophy the boys brought
home with them was white bull pup
presented by Mr.. Ed. Young of
Eufaula. The Monarchs are very proud
of their canine pet and it will, no doubt,
be the mascot of the team.
