LOCALS TAKE THE THIRD
IN THE THIRTEENTH INNING
Davis Fans Fifteen and Wins Game
After Williams Had Tripled.

Years may come and years may go,
but never will mortal man have the
pleasure of witnessing any closer,
prettier or more exciting ball game
than the one played here between
Dawson and Montezuma Thursday al
ternoon. 1t could not have been any
more spectacular and any more spine
thrilling had it been made to order.
The fans were all eyes, all ears and
all nerves, and at times the strain
was so tense that the quickly throb-
bling hearts could almost be heard
above the painting breaths. Both
teams were at their best, being on
their toes at all times. Only one bob
BILE was scored against each team in
13 innings.
The visitors scored in the fourth
on a double by Prough and two n
field outs. The locals tied the score
in the sixth on an infeld error and
two singles. From then until the
thirteenth neither side was able to
push across the winning tally. In
the last of the thirteenth with shades
of night lastly falling and the fans
slowly losing hopes Dave Williams
strobe to the plate and hit the first
ball pitched to center, The ball took
a bad bound and Williams went to
third. Colby, hitting for Harper, was
walked and stole second. Davis, next
up, with the count two and three,
drove one past first, winning the old
ball game.
Then pandemonium broke loose,
and the fans became mob of howl
ing, roaring mob of baseball rooters.
L. Thrasher made a wonderful catch
off the bat of Chancey in the seventh
with a man on second.

WIN THE SECOND
FROM MONTEZUMA
Camnitz Pitches Air Tight Ball, and
After Tieing the Game With Home
Run Scores Winning Run.

AMERICUS, Ga, Aug. 3.-DaW-
son went after Montezuma with vim
this afternoon, coming from behind
and winning the game by the score
of 4 to 3.
MOntezuma scored one run in each
of the second, sixth and seventh in
nings, and it seemed that they had
the game stored away in their little
satchel. In their half of the seventh
the strong hitting Dawsonians lit on
to Foster, and when the smoke had
cleared away the score was tied with
the Dawson boys fighting for all they
were worth. In the seventh l. Thrash
err. Kingery and Williams singled in
succession. Harper hit to short. Ike
was caught at the plate and Harper at
first, but Kingery scored on the play,
and Williams went to second. Cam
nitz came to the bat and hit the first
ball pitched over centerfield fence for
a homer, sending Williams ahead of
him.
After this CamnitZ did not allow
any more hitting, but Cy Williams
relieved Foster In the last half of
the ninth Camnitz singled, after two
were down, and stole second. Will
liams walked Manush to get Brooks.
Camnitz and Manush advanced one
base on a passed ball. With zeke
Erwin praying to Brooks on third
the latter hit one through Williams
too hot to handle, and Camnitz cross
ed the plate with the winning run.

they are dreaded by opposing teams
all over Georgia.
Jim Kingery is never happy unless
he is clouting the ball, and he has
given many opposing pitchers hail
Columbia with his bat, and in the
outfield has robbed many a hopeful
batter on opposing teams of hits. Jim
is a prime favorite in Dawson.
Pitchers-we we're about to forget
! them-but even though they were not
mentioned in this article you would
only have to ask any ball club we
have stacked up against this summer
about their work. With our pitch
Ii ing staff and old-reliable Harper to
do the receiving we can go up against
anything in the state of Georgia.
! Doc Wilder and j. M. Davis have each
! been with US all of the season, and
when you see one work you know he
is better than the other, and that
each of them is better than any one
else. Corley was with us most of the
season and pitched jamb-up ball until
I his physical condition caused his re-
tirement. Lately we have been
strengthened by the addition of Cam
nitz, Poole and Stewart. Our pitch
ing staff is good enough for any team
in Georgia.
Taken altogether, we do not know
of a weak spot to be mended. All the
players know how to play ball, all do
play first-class ball, and what a lot
of batters we have got. Boys, we are
all proud of you. You are the great
est aggregation of ball players ever,
seen in this section. You not only
play ball, but you play clean ball.
You go into each and every game de-
termined to win. If you do not win
we at least know you made an hon
est clean effort to do so. We admire
clean sport and you have played
clean, gentlemanly ball. We have
never felt called upon to apologize
and make excuses either for your
conduct or your playing.
| Our ball season has been a success,
and we thank you and render you
full credit and the thanks of the en-
tire community. We hope to have
you with us another season.

FINALLY "G0T" HIS AVERSION
Jealous Trout Made q Jonah OF HE

Ever hear of trout being In love,

Last autumn two trout, each meas

small spring at Wintergreen estate
Highland lake, and placed In deep
spring, ten feet below walls where
Pete, a tame trout. fifteen inches long,
had made his home for seven years
without q companion, according to
Winsted Comm dispatch to the New
York Herald.
Pete at once took liking to one OF
the trout, but whenever the lid OF the
spring was raised he would glide
through the water after the other one.
and whenever close enough, tried to
bite the fleeing fish. It also was no
ticed at feeding time. when bits OF
meat were dropped into the water

friend rose from the sandy bottom to
get Q bite. but kept his eyes ON the
other fellow and Immediately gave
chase IL he tried to get any food. Jeal'
Gus Pete more than once filled his
mouth 90 full Of liver that he could
not close 1t.
The protracted drought caused the
water level to drop from eight feet to
two, and the trout whose life Pete
had sought for three months fell vic

HER INHERITANCE
BY FRANK FiLsoN.

Little Miss Raymond read the letter
beside her plate and looked up in Q
dazed way. It announced that she
had fallen heir, most Unexpectedly, to
the sum Of $1,000.
When one is thirty years of age,
not progressing, and q stenographer
on SIS q week, the future does not
look very promising. Miss Raymond
had bought . new suit that very week.
She had almost decided to let 1t go
back, although she knew that she
looked most attractive In it. But
now, Of course, there would be many
suits and dresses.
Then the thought Of Philip Barton
struck home to her. and she flushed
guilty., and the mirage Of new dresses
suddenly disappeared.
Philip was her only friend In the
big city. He had lived in the same
rooming house for three years. and
they had been fast friends all thai
time. He had confided to her that i
he had q certain sum he could star
! a profitable undertaking in the manu-
facture Of q certain mechanical appli
! ance now made at a disproportionate
ly high price by the firm which en-
ployed him at $40. And he had fxe
the exact sum at $1,000. Not that h
expected ever to have that amount
But he had confided 1t to her as on

can't even guess it. I'll tell you after
dinner. Not before or during dinner
after! And you'n be so happy for
my sake when you know"
They went out to the little Italian |
place where they had dined SO often.
and. during the repast Of many |
courses little Miss Raymond watched
his happy face in mute sorrow. She
felt that this was the beginning Of the
end Of their friendship.
After dinner he drew the typewrit-
ten letter from his pocket and read 1t
to her. An anonymous person, who
had the gravest reasons for doing so,
wished to bestow the sum Of $4,000
upon him. That sum had been depos-
tied in q certain bank to his account.
and he was asked to make no effort to
discover the identity of the sender.
He had been to the bank, and the
money was there. The manager had
told him that the mysterious depositor
was q woman; she had explained to
him that she wished to remain un-
known to him. The manager knew
nothing Of her, but he had accepted
the money subject to an investigation
Of Philips record. So the money was
as good as his.
"And after this am going to pay
the bill every Saturday night" said
Philip gleefully.
And he began telling her all about
his plans; how he could get a part
ner to 60 in with him to a similal
amount, and of the tiny factory thai
: he was planning, with success assured
.. and a prosperous life. They fingered
