LOREN c. THRASHER
WINS ADAMS TROPHY
Young Brother of Frank Thrasher
of Atlanta Has Average of 1888.
|. Thrasher Second With 32l.

Loren o. Thrasher, the fast center
fielder of the Dawson club, covered
himself with baseball glory and sus-
tanned the high mark of the Thrasher
WALLPAPERS from Watkinsville, Ca, by
winning the very beautiful trophy
given by the Adams Jewelry Store for
the best hitter for the year 1916.
Ike, third baseman and all-round
man, was running his brother such a
close race at the beginning of the last
game that the winner of the trophy
could not be determined until the re-
suit of the afternoons work had been
recorded in the score keepers little
book. Loke came to the bat three
times and lined out three safe blows,
while Ike could get but one out of
four trips to the plate. So the kid
brother neatly won the trophy with
twelve point lead on his big bud
At the beginning of the last in
ming Col. r. R. Jones walked in front
of the grandstand with the trophy in
his hand. In a short speech, well fit
ted for the occasion, he thanked the
ball club in behalf Of the CITY for
their loyalty ana Cner unClilhg Ell
forts on the baseball field and for
their gentlemanly conduct on and off
the field. He wished them much sue
cess and hoped to have them with us
next season. Then he presented the
trophy to Loke. With the fans yell
ing speech! speech! Loke received the
prize and delivered the following ora
ton:
Ladies and gentlemen, I thank
you" Then
He dived into the players bench.
But it came from the heart, and was
received in a manner characteristic
of the feeling that the fans bore for
their boys.
Two men had an average above
Loren, but he did not play in fourth
as many games, and were therefore
ineligible. Baby Wilder went to the
bat 40 times and got Is safe blows
with an average of 1922. Tiny Hen
derson went to the bat 33 times and
got 10 safe hits, with an average of
394.

WILDER LEADS PITCHERS
OF THE BIG FOUR CIRCUIT
Wolfe a Close Second to Diminutive
Southpaw's Remarkable Record.

Baby Wilder, the diminutlve south
paw. ended the present season with a
remarkable record He has pitched
twelve games. Of this number nine
were won, two were lost and one
went for IA innings, ending in tie.
His average for the season is 8l8.
Two of these games were no-hit ones,
and in last Fridays game he no doubt
set a record for Georgia, for not a
ball was hit to the outfield. Only
three men reached first base. and
thew got there on errors. While he
was leading the league in pitching he
was also using the old ashwood very
handily. His average for the season
in hitting was 1922.
Jesse Wolfe, the big Highlander,
was i'll the first of the season, and
consequently was late in starting,
When he did get in condition he was
almost unbeatable. He pitched 10
games. He won eleven and lost four
for an average of 1888. Three of
these games were lost early in the
season.
These two pitchers won 20 out 26
games pitched, and it is no wonder
that their team ended as champions
of tho circuit

Saturday, August 9Th, marked the
close of the first year of the Big -Four
Circuit, and at the same time brought
to an end the most successful base
ball team that ever went on the field
for the home city. The baseball sea-
son in Dawson has become history,
the boys have all gone to their re-
spective homes, leaving behind them
melancholy lonesomeness and IN
"some hearts" an aching void. We
miss their smiling faces, their ringing
laughter and the atmosphere of joy
and good feeling that they exhaled,
but the fans of Dawson, male and fe-
male, old and young, still wear a
smile and are glad, for the boys that
have gone from US left with US the
rag as the undisputed champions of
the Big Four.
We have played ffty-one games
for the year. Of that number thirty

DAWSON WINS PENNANT
LAST SERIES OF GAMES
LOCALS TAKE FIVE OUT LAST
SIX WITH FITZGERALD. A
REMARKABLE RECORD.

With Fitzgerald fighting to cinch
the flag in the Big Four circuit and
Dawson even more determined to
win out our boys journeyed to Fitz-
gerald Monday for the final assault.
The attack was made in grand style
and before the boys of Fifty realized
what had occurred the day had been
won. Two miles of trenches had fall
en- into the enemies hands and with
only one more mile to go with a de-
termination to capture this last one
and end the conflict Gen. CHM turn
ed the command over to Gen. DAVIS.
But Gen. Cochran had had time to
repair his Notifications and the at
tack was repulsed.
Now the battle scene is shifted,
and on Thursday at Baldwin Park the
two forces faced each again. Gen.
Cochran took the initiative, and IN a
superb charge swept our boys from
their feet. When the smoke had
cleared they had captured 3 trenches
and were prepared to resist counter
charge on our part. But IN spite OF
their preparations our boys rallied
in grand style, and with a terrific
cannonading drove them back for SIX
miles. Gen. Wolfe was resurrected
and again demonstrated his ability
as a powerful and efficient leader.
This game was the final step toward
the flag, and the boys from Fitzger-
aid pulled down their colors and with
reluctant but proud faces solemnly
recognized the supremacy of the
Dawson ball club.
But two more games were yet to
be played, but let it be said to the
credit of the visitors they fought just
as hard and with no less determine
ton to win. However, Wilder was in
gilt-edge "condish'' and at no time
did the lads from Fitzgerald have a
chance to win. Not a single hit did
Babe allow; not even a fly ball to
the outfeld; and as Loren Thrasher
put it: "My eyes grew dim waiting
and watching for the ball that never
came" Skipper Cochran had select
ed First Mate Pickett to steer the
ship off the rocks, but Pickett wasn't
equal to the emergency and the crash
came. Final score: Dawson 6, Fitz-
gerald 1.
The last game proved to be a poor
exhibition of baseball. The visitors
had lost all their starch and longed
to be back to their homes, or some
where else. Dawson won, making
five out of the last six with the Fitz-
gerald boys.

THINGS WORTH KNOWING

If food scorches or sticks to bottom
of aluminium kettle when cooking, use
clothespin in place of the usual
knife or scraper to remove it. 1t will
not injure the aluminium.
To remove stains from marble in
the bathroom, sprinkle stains with
pulverized chalk and wet with am
monia, then sccur with a brush and
wipe dry. This will take out the worst
stains.
If one wishes eggs soft boiled, pour
boiling water over eggs, cover pan
and leave stand three minutes. Me-
dunn cooked eggs, leave stand five
minutes. Hard cooked, leave stand ten
minutes, and the eggs will not be
leathery as when boiled on the stove.
By using oleomargarine butter,
which can be purchased for 25 cents a
pound and is also clean and pure, you
may make your dishes very palatable
and inexpensive.
When making boiled icing, just after
beating the hot syrup into the egg
sprinkle one teaspoonful Of gelatin
into the mixture and continue beating
Makes icing spongy like marshmal

Use bill file for hanging up papel
bags which you wish to save for flu
ture use. Fold into original fold anC

with ease. When needed they can b.

IRRESPONSIBLE
With new RECORD
Moline District Has $1,000 on Hand
and Has Not Yet Decided What
to Do With 1t.
is THE ONLY ONE IN THE COUNTY
Commission Allowed for Collecting
Taxes More Than Meets All Of
the Expenses.

A town meeting is to be held in Mo-
line at o'clock in the afternoon Of
election day-the coming Tuesday
in Turner hall. Considerable inter-
est in the meeting has been manifested
inasmuch as action will be taken on
the question of disposition of some
treasury This town fund has been
proving impregnable to assault for a
number Of years. 1t grows year by
year, because the township is allowed
2 per cent for collecting the taxes and
pays only $500 for the job. The sur
plus that the 2 per cent brings in
above the $1,000 year is more than
enough to pay the assessor and his
assistants and all township expenses.
Moline has not levied township tax
since 1888, So years ago. 1t has not
been necessary. 1t is the only town
ship in the county having made that
record. Rock Island township levies
town tax of $4,000 this year 1t
levies something like $1,000 about
every alternate year.
The Moline township fund-now
more than S14000-is in the hands of
the supervisor. Long precedent has
given him the privilege of depositing
it in the bank and drawing the inter-
est thereon for his own personal use.
This is the prerogative of the super
visor-no assistant supervisor is "in
on it."
