ARLINGTON TAKES
TWO OF THREE GAMES
CALHOUN COUNTY LADS DE-
CISIVELY TROUNCE LOCALS,
WHO WERE IN BAD FORM.

| he DAWSON DdSeDdll team began
the past week very auspiciously Tues
day afternoon by defeating the fast
Arlington team with the renowned
| Tige Stone in the box. Bob Moody
! from Lanett was on the hill for the
home club and the Chattahoochee lad
! had it all over the Macon star from
every point OF the game. Dawson
jumped on Tige in the first chapter
and tailed four runs, much to the
chagrin of the Arlington supporters.
For the next six innings neither side
could push one across the rubber, but
in the first of the eighth the visitors
fireworks started. Ike Thrasher, old
local standby, singled to right, with
two strikes and no balls on Rabbit
Cameron. Moody grooved one and the
shortstop rode it to the ditch in center
for the circuit, scoring Ike. ahead OF
| him. The damage was not yet over,
for on an outfeld error and two inheld
boobies the Calhoun county lads push
ed two more across. The locals came
back in their half of the same inning
and by timely hits on the part OF Rob-
ert Pinkston and Moody scored two
more and won ball game. Batteries

On Wednesday the locals journeyed
to Arlington to try to make it two
straights, but they were unable to turn
the trick. One Jack Holland, though
wild, was invincible at ali times, while
Bradley Hogg, who did the mound
work for the Dawson team, was COM
pletely off form and did not show the
same old stuff and cunning as OF yore.
The Arlington diamond would be bet
ter for anything else than baseball
/ field, the ground being SO rought that
our inhelders booted several during the
contest, due to their being unfamiliar
with the various and sundry hops the
| ball took on the grass. Poor base run
ming also aided in defeating the local
gladiators. Ike Thrasher again proved
our Nemesis, the big boy leading Arl-
ington's attack with three safe blows,
Arlington piled up a total of five runs,
while Dawson was given coat OF kali
somine. Hogg was best with the will
low for the locals, getting two hits in
three times at bat. Notwithstanding
ton: Holland and Clements; Dawson:
Hogg and Palmacino. Umpires: Wor-
rill and Mills.
Again Trounce Locals.
Before the largest crowd that has
witnessed ball game here since the
days of the Big Four" Arlington
again proved their superiority by de-
cisively trouncing the locals to the tune
of ten to three in farce here Thurs
day afternoon. In the first place the
local club did not have a pitcher 1t is
reported that the management attempt
ed to secure one, but evidently they
didn't try long enough, for with a
crowd from all parts of south Georgia
to see the game they showed Bob
i Moody back into the breach with one
days rest, which is not enough for
i Samson in these days. Bob tried nobly
but was unable to come through, SC
he retired in favor of Dan Hammock
in the fourth inning. Dan proved bet
ter, but could not entirely stop the
visitors run getting. Ludie Blood
worth hurled we'll for Arlington, and
deserved to win his game. The crowd
was so dense that several spectators
were hit by balls. One Mr.. Lama.
Jones was for a time thought to be
seriously injured, but later reports
proved his injuries not so bad. Joe
Palmacino was the locals star He is
the best catcher seen on the local dia-
mond this year, and his catch of a foul
ball in Thursay's game is seldom du-
plicated anywhere Batteries-Arling
ton: Bloodworth and Clements; Daw-
