DatUsOn and Fitzgerald Played
Nine Inning 3-3 Tie Monday
WITH THE NEVER-GIVE-UP SPIR-
1T DAWSON'S COLLEGE BOYS
TAILED TWO IN THE EIGHTH
INNING YESTERDAY.

On a day that would have beef
much better for a mud-slinging con
test the two leading teams of the Biz
Four Circuit fought to 3 to 3 tl'
Monday afternoon.
His honor, the jumps, better known
to his friends as John Bunny" Keim
called the game at 1925 with Wynn
and Harper doing the battery worl
for the locals and Fuss and Monahar
ditto for the Fitzgerald club.
Both teams made rush in the inl
tial inning. A single followed by &
couple of errors and another single
netted the visitors two scores. Things
looked gloomy when Mize and Hates
made an easy out of Rhodes and
Hates stopped CHM unassisted. But
another color appeared on the horl-
zon when Ike Thrasher pasted a two
sacker, then went to third on Loke' s
hit to the infeld, which was errored.
Here the Watkinsville brothers began
a double steal in which Ike crossed
the rubber while Loke had Hates and
Milligan tossing the BALI trying to
catch him.
So the game stood with the visitors
two tallies to the Ginnites one until
the lucky seventh arrived when after
Sosbee and Metcalf had sent Fuss
back to the bench Morris slapped out
a two Dagger and Immediately scored
when Monahan duplicated with two
Dagger, but was out trying to stretch
it to the hot corner. Rhodes with
Metcalfe's help retired the side after
nice stop of Mize's grounder.
1t looked as if old ]. Pluvius was
going to settle things and let the
umpire call the game with the visitors
the winner, but some good old broth
er's prayers were answered and the
cloud passed over. Still there was a
two run lead to overcome, and it look
ed impossible until 'Puddenhead"
Harper led off in the eighth with a
single and then both the grandstand
and Mr.. Fuss went wild and Wynn
walked on four wide throws. Rhodes
hit for three hard swings, but the run
ners advanced, and Manager CHM,
next up, hit Texas Lacquer to center
and Harper and Wynn counted. The
side was retired when |. Thrasher
fed out to short and CHM was doub-
led at first.
In the final inning with tied up
score Fuss flew to short and Norris
was safe on an error, Monahan made
his second hit of the game, Norris 60
ing to third and Monahan stole sec
ond. Mize was safe at first when he
hit a scorcher to Sosbee, who killed
Norris at the plate. Barnett made the
third out by trying to put one over
Loke Thrasher's head.
The home club went in determined
to put the necessary run by, and Loke
hit hot one to third, which Norris
handled in grand style. Here Man
ager CHM sent in Walton, the bare
foot baby elephant, to bat for Met
calfe. He smashed out single, and
Cooke Immediately duplicated the
feat after Sosbee had hit a high one
to Mize. With runners on second and
third Harper tried hard to land on
one of Fuss favorites, but afetr hit
ting five fowls the Mercer Lad had
enough to ease one by. Jumps Keim
called the game on account of dark
ness.
The game was featured by the
steadiness of both pitchers under the
weather conditions with the advant-
age going to Fuss. Monahan's timely
hitting and Sosbee's spectacular field
ing were worthy of prominent men
ton.
