Dawson Goes Down.
Nm Wednesday afternoon Dawson
went down in defeat before the Ar
lington aggregation Of ball tossers by
soore Of ~ to 7. The Dawson club,
aftor winning five straight games,
showed a complete reversal of form
and resembled team of sand-lotters.
Tho defeat may be attributed to lack
Of Judgment as well as errors. Sew
orai times there were chances foI
oasv outs. but either the base WASN'T
c c or the player handling the
ball was holding a session with Nor
pheus. -. 49, 4oon. hot
fled toe to toe with slight advantage
to the visitors. Sheppard, twirling foi
Arlington. was in superb form and
had the home club completely Dameo
nv his curve. At the same time, how
over. Baldwin, doing mound duty fol-
the locals, was going like a house afire
himself. -,
Arlington scored two in the fourth
frame. Fudge, first up. was safe on
Gammage's error of his grounder
Bostwick, next up, got life on an
error by Crouch, Fudge advancing
Dozier slapped one to right center for
a couple of sacks, scoring Fudge and
Bostwick.
Dawson scored in the third on a
single by Baldwin, infeld hit by Gam
mage and Sheppard's error OF Pink
stems effort.
And then-the seventh, the visitors
scored eight runs on hits, errors and
last but by no means least, lack OF
Judgment by Dawson players The
entire home club joined the bird gang
in this inning and when finally the
slaughter was over the fans applaud
ed ioyfully. Dawson tried to come
back in her half but the lead was tc
great and the time too short.
The one feature came in the sew
enth. A lad called Cowart strobe over
from the visitors bench, grasped his
bludgeon, hitched up his trousers and
then gave that ball ride. 1t was the
longest hit ever seen at the local dia-
mond, and when the ball was last
heard of it was headed in the general
direction of Shellrnan still going
strong.
Locals Swat Souther Field.
In Friday afternoon between show
ers the locals triumphed over Souther
Field to the tune of z to 1. The army
lads were unable to connect with
Ronald Lanier's delivery when hits
meant runs, and with the whole Daw-
son team playing like big leaguers at
bat and in the field thew had no
chance whatever. To go on this strain
further, it is safe to say that the To-
cal team of Friday could put it over
any semi-pro team in the state. Bevo
Webb of Georgia Tech fame, holding
down the initial cushion, played a
great game. The Yellow Jacket scored
three runs in four times at bat and
his work at first brings back memo
ries of Lefty Williams. The real field
ing feature of the game however, was
the stellar work of Row Pinkston at
short. He handled nine chances with
out an error and his whip ranks with
the best of them.
The giant of Souther Field, Big Bill
Parsons, was on the mound for the
visitors and Bill certainly hurls a
wicked brand of baseball But for
errors behind him the score would
have been considerably closer.
As long as we keep the present
team in the field there is no need to
worry about losing many games. Our
present worry is lack of interest. So
II anybody wants to see a regular
team play real ball game just jour
hey down to Baldwin park Tuesday
and see the Dawson Triton fracas.
The price of admission has been
changed to 25c for the ladies and
Soc for the men.
Plays Triton Here Today.
With the local nine going like a
house afre, the Triton aggregation
are invading our domicile today, de-
H{ermined to put US out. And Triton
mas some ball club. too. Our old
Trend Trend Ralph Pickett, who always
pitched SO effectively against Dawson
IN the Big Four, will be on the slab
lor the visitors, while Ronald Lanier,
our own brilliant and hard working
Mlrler, will do the honors for the
nome clubs.
Inc locals have as fast an amateur
leam as any in the state. and those
