DAWSON TOOK THREE
FROM UNION SPRINGS
FIVE GOOD GAMES ON THE
LOCAL DIAMOND GAVE THE
FANS A JUBILANT WEEK.

Dawson broke the wire a close
winner in the last and deciding series
with Union Springs, winning three
of the five-game contest. On Mon
day the locals took the visitors in
camp to the tune of A to 1. Bradley
Hogg was on the hill for the Georgia
Crackers with Tardy working on the
slab for the sister state
The next day, Tuesday, the visit
ors came back with vengeance, and
easily disposed of the locals by a
score of 5 to one. Jesse Wolf pass
ed them over for Union Springs, with
Jack Holland, the Brentwood phe-
nom, in the stellar role for Dawson.
The locals played we'll until the
ninth, when with one accord they
joined the bird gang and before the
smoke cleared we had swallowed the
bitter dose of defeat.
Ashby Fuss, old Mercer star, hurl-
ed US to a victory of 8 to on We'd
nesday. This game was a smuggling
contest in which the locals slugged
farther and longer.
Bradley Hogg toiled on the mound
Thursday, and again brought home
the bacon. He was opposed by Elk
ms of Camp Benning fame. This
was another free hitting encounter.
Hogg had less than he has ever
shown here and Elkins didn't have
that much stuff, so we were again
returned a winner 7 to 5.
On the last day of the series we
went down in defeat, due to the re-
markable twirling of Wolfe and
the disappointing ineffectiveness of
Jenkins. If Sal even had a prayer
it was mighty hard to see. While on
the other hand in his palmiest days
the "Bearcat" never had more stuff
than he dished out Friday. To quote
the classic words of "High-pockets"
the elongated guardian of the initial
station, VOLTS fast one looked like a
curve and vice versa. Jesse didn't
issue a hit until the ninth, when with
two down Spivey singled sharply to
left. Lanier, who relieved jenkins,
pitched jam up ball The final score
was 6 to 0.
For one more season Dawson has
taken her stand in the national pas
time, and as of old has come out vic
torious. There has been not one
kick by the visiting players of the
treatment received here; rather, they
all join in giving Dawson and Ter
rell the reputation of being the
squarest and best baseball team in
south Georgia.
