Dawson won their fourth straight
game of the week from the Fl. Gaines
team on Thursday afternoon by a
score of 7 to E, the game being very
slow and uninteresting. Jenkins twirl-
ed for Dawson and was opposed by
Taylor for the Fort Gaines aggrega-
ton. The locals were in danger only
in the latter part Of the battle, when
Indifferent playing, coupled with bad
decision, nearly cost them the game.
The feature of the fracas was the
wrangling with the umpire. Batteries

Gaines: Taylor and Solomon.
The locals registered their fifth
straight victory in the final game Of
the week on Friday, when they de-
feated the Sylvester club by score OF
II to 3. Hammock, as ..twiFler fer the
locals, had the Worth county boys eat
ing out of his hand throughout the
contest, their hits being few and scat
tered Harris and Robert Pinkston
featured with the stick for the home
club, while Harper and Goodwin proved
best at bat for the visitors. Pinkston
felded best for the home club, while
Goodwin performed excellent work on
the hot corner for the visitors. Harris
surprised the fans by connecting with
one of Wooten's slants for a circuit
drive, and they in turn surprised him
by passing around the hat, which no
doubt met with his approval. Batteries
Dawson: Hammock and E. Pink
ston; Sylvester: Wooten and Gam
mage. Umpires: E. E. Cooke and c. D.
Cooke.
Dawson will play the fast Arlington
