LOCALS PLAYING
SIX GAMES AT HOME
WILL THEN co ON ROAD FOR
NINE GAMES. CLOSE SEASON
HERE AUG. 3, 4 AND 5.

The locals are playing a series OF
six games on the Dawson diamond
this week. Cordele is here for the
first three days, and following them
Montezuma comes Thursday, Friday
and Saturday. The locals then take
the road for nine games, playing
Montezuma, Cordele and Fitzgerald
in the order named. They return to
Dawson for the final series of the
schedule on Thursday, Friday and
Saturday, August 8, and 5. These
games will be played with Fitzgerald.
Dawson and Fitzgerald are run
ming neck and neck in the percentage
column, starting last week tied and
winding up the week in the same
manner. And the two teams were
matched against each other the full
week. Montezuma has greatly
improved in strength since their last
here, and are strong con-
tenders for the pennant. Cordele is
hopelessly in the cellar.

WILDER PITCHES
A NO-HIT GAME
DAWSON TOOK FIRST GAME OF
SERIES FROM CoRDELE BY
SCORE OF 3 TO 1.

For full nine innings little Doc
Wilder held the Cordele aggregation
hitless yesterday, and upset all dope
as to his inability to pitch on rainy
day. Indeed, J. Pluvius seemed to
smile on Babe" and refused to open
wide the floodgates, despite the en-
treaties of Henderson's crew.
The visitors We're lucky in the mi
tial inning. Wilder grew tired Of
looking at Perry, so let him amble to
first on four balls. Mr.. Perry pro-
ceeded to marathon on to second.
Then Ike Thrasher, in some unac~
countable manner booted a simple bit
of a grounder and said Mr.. Perry
perched on third "Doc" Harper got
Jealous of Perry hugging third, so he
let fast one purposely get by and
well, they didn't get any more.
The locals didn't have a pie-train
with Price either. Although we scor-
ed three runs the Guineas only Sc
cured five hits off his delivery. But
these five were enough to win.
While the game was devoid of
thrilling plays the predominant feat
ure was the pitching of Wilder. At
ter the third inning not Cordele
man reached first and only one fly
ball was knocked into Dawson's outer
court. Ruck CHM smothered that
one.

! can do to rectify mistake made in
the heat of the fight, and we can't
understand why the apology was not
accepted and appreciated as we have
accepted the one from the town
which those players represent. We
can't understand why the business
manager and editor could afford to
allow such lines as went out with his
paper.

The entire Charleston S. A. L. club
were interested spectators of the last
game Wednesday afternoon. They
came over from Albany and spent the
night, leaving next morning for
Montgomery.

What would Dawson do without
the two Thrashers? The answer is
found in the averages in this weeks
paper. Lorien leads in the total hits
and in home runs. Ike leads in three
base hits, total bases and total runs.
What baseball hurler would not feel
sinking of the heart, a shaking Of
the limbs and desire to be following
in the footsteps of old Maud back on
the farm when Lorien strides to the
plate with a piece of ashwood in his
hand?
Our old friend Davie Williams is in
town suffering with a spiked foot. We
are glad to see you, Dave, but sorry
that misfortune was what brought
you to US. Here's hoping that you
will soon be back on the job

Speaking of pitchers, what about
the record of old reliable Jess Wolfe?
He is right now, and every time that
he strides to the mound there is a
constant f1uttering around the heart
of the opposing manager.

Boys, if Dawson is to be the leader
in the Big Four for tn season of 1916
two places must be filled. Our pitch
ers are going good-good enough to
win the majority of games. But we
need a hard hitting right fielder and
fast first baseman. We are playing
good ball, but our team does not look
like pennant winner. A little more
pep, little more fight and inside ball
and two new players, and the pen
nant is ours.

The Dawson news. (Dawson, Ga.) 1889-current, 1916-07-19

The editor of this department was
painfully surprised last week when
he glanced over the Fitzgerald Lead
er-Enterprise and noticed an article
written by Stewart P Gelders. Said
paragraphs were wrathy in their crit
icism of the Dawson baseball fans,
and especially the Dawson baseball
team. And they wandered as far
from the paths of truth and newspa-
per etiquette as Carranza has from
the rules of running republic.
There are two good and important
reasons why the editor of this depart
ment does not answer this article in
the same tone and language that were
used by the cub writer. In the first
place, we do not care to besmearch
and trod into the dirt the good name
of this paper, and secondly the loyal
fans of Fitzgerald have announced
that the article was without their con-
sent, knowledge or approval.
600
We are indeed glad that the right
thinking people of our neighboring
town have taken this course. And
this young writer, whoever he may
be, has been rebuked enough to make
him think before he again writes an
article without any foundation what
ever.

We don't blame town for fighting
for the pennant, and there is nothing
that suits our baseball appetite as
much as a good clean and square
fight. But to be unjustly attacked
about our conduct on the field and
anywhere else rubs our epithelium a
little the wrong way.

One thing happened on the base

In the first game of Wednesday,
double header Pickett had the Daw-
son batters buffaloed when hits meant
runs, and we had to take the count
? to l. Baby did not give up but
three hits, but we can't win ball
games without runs.
In the second game Wolfe was
pitted against Fuss, and for eight in
nings held the hard-hitting crew of
Cochran's pets without the semblance
of hit. However, in this spasm
some one remarked in a squeaking
falsetto, "They havn't got a hit off
Jess yet, have they?" And just as if
he had heard the noise Skipper COch-
ran of the good ship Fitzgerald Sc
cured the first hit of the game for
his crew and Jess's chances for no
hit game were blasted-cruelly.
Dawson made her lone tally in the
fifth. One Mr.. VIM breezed one
of Fuss favorites to center for a
couple of bags and hardly had he
pulled up at station 2 when Floyd
bruised one to left for triple and
Winn breezed home. Floyd was out
at the plate trying to stretch the hit
into a circuit clout.
The rest of the game was corker.
However, Wolfe had the situation
we'll in hand and steered the local in
safety through the danger zone.

Dawson must win the pennant, and
to do so it will be necessary for the
fans to give the team their united
support in attendance and otherwise.
There has never been any complaint
on the attendance in Dawson, but it
must be better for the remaining
games. Nothing is more encouraging
to bunch of young ball players than
the support of a packed grandstand.

LOCALS LOSE TWO OUT
OF THREE TO FITZGERALD
Davis Beats "Fitsites" in an Eleven
Reeler Saturday 2 to I.

With one game to their credit in
the circuit standing the leaders jour
neyed to the home of the negro base
ball poet, Fitzgerald, Thursday for a
series of three games of ball, torment
and the like. They not only got some
of the latter, but were lucky enough
to take one game of ball. And it was
not the umpires or the fault of the
Dawson "hot-headed and ungentle
manly FANS" a la Gelders, that we
won the last game, but the fault of
one Square-Head Davis, who had
the would-be leaders buffaloed at all
stages of the blood-curdling agony.
In the first game Fox was selected
by Manager CHM to stop the inces-
SAINT bowling of the followers of one
Skipper. But like all foxes might
be expected when away from home
this one was wild, so wild that he
could not get his curves to come close
to the old home plate. When he did
get the ball over the Fitzgerald fence
busters Tin Fitzgerald) lit on to it,
and then hit for enough to get six
tallies while the Dawson team was
still in slump. Milligan, hurting for
Fitzgerald's team, was good, especial
ly in the pinches, and the Fighters"
from Dawson could get but one run.
After a two-day rest Wolfe went
back after Fitzgerald on Friday with
the hope of duplicating his perform
ance Tuesday. But in some manner
the god of baseball fate got the count
reversed and Jesse had to go down
in defeat to the score of 1 to 0. He
pitched beautiful game up to the
ninth inning, when he weakened
enough to allow the Gelderites one
lone tally. But this was enough to
win, for the Thrashing machine and
the rest of the Dawson machine was
in need of repairs, and they could
not hit the old apple when hits meant
runs.
AS we have already said once, Da-
Wis was right on Saturday, and we
got the sweet revenge, even if the
modest Fitzgerald fans did hurl few
epitaphs and pop bottles from the
grand stand. Fitzgerald was repre-
scented on the mound by Mr.. Fuss.
The latter also had the things that it
takes to make good pitcher. So the
old game rocked along one reel after
another until it looked like neither
team would be able to make the much
wanted circuit of the bases. And all
the time the Fitzgerald fans were
raving. After ten full innings of
goose eggs Harper came up in the
eleventh and picked out a choice one
for a single Then the manager,
knowing the feelings of the boys at
home about some things that had
been written and said, gritted his
teeth and swung. When Cochran
returned from centerfeld with the
ball Harper was resting on the bench
and CHM was safely anchored on
the hot corner. Then Sosbee, accus-
toned to the like, put on the squeeze
play, and CHM scored. Deep groans
in the Fitzgerald grand stand.) The
''Fistites" threatened rally in their
half of the same stanza. Some costly
errors gave them one run. But, any,
way, we won, and were tied for first
place.
