DAWSON DROPS
FIRST TO CORDELE
WIN MONDAYS
GAME BY THE SCORE OF
FOUR TO TWO.

The lowly cellarites reused them
selves Monday from their habitual
sleep, blinked once or twice in the
warm rays of Old Sol, stretched them
selves and then proceeded to take the
locals into camp by the score of A
to 2.
The invaders seemed to shake all
the sleep from their eyes in the first
inning. With two out and Wolfe
breaking in across the pan like can
non ball through the cuticle of Gus
tard pie one Mr.. Cheeves dug sharp
single to left and pulled up at station
l. Then it was that Mr.. Steed tried
to deprive the ball of it's cover, and
when it was returned Steed was on
third, the aforesaid Cheeves having
completed a marathon around the
circuit ellis hit a grounder to Ike
Thrasher and went out.
The locals came back strong in
their turn but failed to tally. CHM
cudgeled a triple to center and with
Ike Thrasher at bat it looked indeed
favorable. However, on an attempt
ed squeeze Ike punched a hole in
space and CHM was nabbed at the
plate.
Cordele put another across in the
fifth. After Waugh had popped out
to second Christy shot a single to
right. On Perry's easy out Christy
went to second. Cheeves for the sec
ond time responded to the entreaties
of his team mates and swatted sin
gle to left, Cheeves stopping at third.
Steed was not satisfied with his ini-
tial appearance at the bat, so he sent
Christy scampering home with sin
gle to center. ellis sent skyrocket
to center, where L. Thrasher camped
under it.
The lucky seventh proved equally
fair to both sides. Waugh singled to
center. Christy hit wee grounder
to third and died at first, Vaughn
pulling up at second. Perry further
aided the cause with a timely bingle
to right, sending Vaughn to third.
Cheeves hit a fast grounder to sec
ond and into what should have been
a fast double. However, Jameson
failed to cover and Vaughn arrived
at home. At this stage Manager CHM
to Wilder and Wolfe was
to the bench. On a wild
heave both Perry and Christy advanc-
ed a peg. Steed was unable to pro-
vide for his team mates and whitfield.
With strikes and three balls on Gil
lis "Babe" uncorked another wild
toss and Perry galloped home. Nun
nally ended the upheaval by going
out second to first.
Dawson's two tallies came at their
turn at the bat. Kimball insisted on
placing a single to right. Floyd, an
other recruit from Camp Cunning
ham, was hit and went to first. Mutt
Rhodes did his best and hit to short,
forcing Floyd at second. Kimball
went to third and Mutt anchored at
first. Spence was beseeched to dem
strate his ability and the former
Techite responded graciously with
hard drive to right, scoring Kimball.
Rhodes scooted for second. , Wilder
doubled to right and Mutt came home
and Spence pulled up on third. With
two men on and one down CHM
we'll, it's a hard story, mates; Nun
nally made wonderful catch of
Ginn's long foul and the locals spir
it's fell 90 per cent below par. God
win hit to second and was out at first.

The remainder of the game was
quiet, very much so. Wilder didn't
care to see his curves hammered and
Vaughn was given gilt-edged sup
port.
Manager CHM presented a some
what changed lineup yesterday.
Jameson, a try-out from Atlanta, ca
yorted around short; and Spence, a
disciple of Johnny Heisman, made
MS best bow as he planted himself IN
light field. The former of the two
seemed slightly ratified by the fusil-
ade of hits in his direction and was
lerricked in the seventh for Rhodes. !

The two teams tie up again today
