DAWSON WINS One
and LOSES TWO GAMES
NEXT GAMES WITH SYLVESTER
AND MONTEZUMA. BOTH TO
BE IN DAWSON.

It must be said that the husky
bunch of ball tossers from Airing
ton threw several scares into the
local camp at Dawson last Friday
and twas by sheer luck the home
team was not let down in defeat. AS
it was. Dame Fortune smiled on US
and gave the locals the victory by
the narrow margin of one run, the
score being 5 to a.
The Arlington lads started off With
a rush. A safe hit, followed by a
couple of errors and long three
Dagger. Melted them three runs. Then
It was that the home team realized
thew had scrap on their hands, and
scrap they did, soon pushing across
enough runs to win the old game.
The largest crowd of the season
witnessed the contest and excitement
and thrills were tucked away in every
corner of the game.
Holland was on the slab for the
locals. and while not given the best
of support proved himself able and
twice pulled himself out of a bad
hole. George Gammage umplred and
everyone was we'll pleased at his eX-
cellent decisions.
Locals Lose Two Games.
Too much Deriso. The titanic hurl-
err of the Sylvester team was respon-
sible for the defeat dished out to the
locals in Sylvester last Wednesday
ONLY four measley hits were all the
Dawson boys could gather from his
delivery, the score being 6 to l. A.
]. Baldwin twirled a nice game also,
allowing only hits, but ragged sup
port at critical moments proved fatal.
The two teams now stand at tie,
each team having won one each.
The clash for supremacy will be stag
ed at Baldwin, park next Thursday
at O'Clock. Ronald Lanier will be
on the mound for the locals, while
Deriso will again twirl for the Wis
itors.
The locals presented badly Grip
pied lineup in Montezuma Thursday,
and as a result were swamped by
10 to 8 count. Roy Pinkston, our
fast short-stop, volunteered to pitch
and had he been given better sup
port would have Jared well. AS it
was ragged support again proved his
undoing. Montezuma plays here
next Monday.
Sylvester Coming Thursday.
The strong Sylvester team, who
took the Dawson boys Wednesday
and treated 'em none too kind, will be
here next Thursday to further "treat
the locals rough" However, we
shall see about that, as one Mr.. Rom
aid Lanier, now a member of the
Dawson clan, suavely remarked to E.
King, husky back stopper for the
home fans. At any rate, this game
promises to be another real scrap.
Montezuma On Monday Next.
The Redpath chautauqua scored
Knockout against baseball in Monte
yuma for this week, as the citizens
requested the baseball management
to postpone all games. That meant
no game with our old rivals today.
The stage has been set, however, for
a bout here in Dawson next Monday,
May 81, and the locals. hope to even
the count, as Montezuma now has
two games on Dawson.
Another Circuit in View.
1t is highly probable that the fol-
lowing towns will organize with a
circuit similar to the Big Four, and
play ball throughout the months of
June, July and August-DawsoN
Sylvester, Arlington and Montezuma.
All these places use home men, and
as each one seems to be well matched
it is probable this circuit will be put
into effect at once. There is already
an understanding between Dawson
and Montezuma in regard to the
schedule. They have agreed to play
here every Tuesday, Dawson to re-
turn the game on Friday. Sylvester
will play here every Thursday week
