llStleSS affair except tor some OF the
pep of the visitors and the comedy of
the soldiers catcher aided by two of
the local. Hawkshaws who conducted
a fruitless search for some of the joy
giving juice much to their chagrin and
to the delight of the visitors. However
to get back to the game, Brown hurl-
ed for Dawson and yielded but four
hits, struck out eleven meA and gave
but one base on balls. The opposing
pitchers were knocked to all corners
of the lot by our boys, who made fiji
teen hits and eleven runs while Brown
was applying the kalsomine to Camp
Benning. Dumas and Sullivan drove
out circuit smashes Steve Cooke also
hit we'll.
With the addition of Eddie Rawson,
the catching staff of the locals will be
stronger than any team the Dawson
club has played this season. Rawson
made all southern over Charlie Nor
gan, the manager of the Moultrie
club, when Charlie was a third year
man a Mercer while Eddie was only
freshman at the University
Cox is leading the club in the batting
by wide margin. This boy is hitting
with a regularity that is very pleasing
to the local fans. His c1outs, while not
of the home run variety, are all sound
hits and he can always be depended
on in the pinch.
We had a comparatively easy time
last week due to the inferior teams
playing here, but even at that the boys
have all regained their batting eyes.
Just two men out of the charmed
three hundred circle is pretty good
hitting, we'll say.
Rainey, a portsider, has been added
to the hurting staff and with Rawson
doing the receiving our chances to
turn back to the Albany bunch are in
creasing by leaps and bounds. This
Rainey is the same pitcher who beat
Albany in the Albany-Tifton series,
and with stronger club behind him,
it's perfectly obvious that the pickings
should be easy. Triton has disbanded
thereby breaking up our series with
them on the local diamond Monday,
Tuesday and Wednesday. The officers
of the association have substituted
Cuthbert with two games in Cuthbert
and the Tuesday game here. The Ran

are still strengthening. 1t is reported
here that several Triton stars have
joined them, among that number be-
ing the two Bronwood boys, Jack Hol-
land and Robert Gammage.
Albany plays here Thursday after
noon and on this day will be a battle
worth coming miles to see. The plans
now cali for Sullivan hurling for the
home club with Satterheld doing his
stuff for the visiting club. Sullivan
went twenty innings last week without
being scored upon, and pitched ano-
hit no-run game while Satterfeld held
Charlie Morgan's fast flying Moultrie
team to a no-hit battle in Albany on
Independence day.
Next week this column will contain
the batting and fielding averages Of
the local players for the season up to
that game.

CITY TAXES GIVEN
CONSIDERABLE BOOST
RAISED TO THE LIMIT, AND
PROPERTY OWNERS WILL
HAVE TO DIG UP $40 PER.

At the meeting of the city council
Tuesday night matter that was given
attention was the fixing of the tax rate
for the present year, with the result
that the taxpayer will have to contrib
ute higher rate to be governed than
ever before in the history OF the city.
A request was received from the
city board Of education that $4,000
be provided for in the tax levy for
school purposes. This required the
levying of OF mills for schools, the
highest rate of tax for that purpose
since the present school system was
established. Five mills was the highest
rate heretofore levied.
For city purposes a rate of So mills
to pay principal and interest on the
bonded Indebtedness was levied and
an additional mills was levied for
current expenses of the municipal gov
eminent. This was an increase of So
per thousand.
The total levy this year is 20 mills.
or $40 on the thousand, an increase of
81 per thousand over the rate Of last
year, which was $l8 on the thousand.

Owens. Time hours.
The Dawson baseball club closed a
perfect week Friday night after win
ming the final game of the series from
Camp Benning. They chalked up four
victories and one tie out of five starts.
Tuesdays game with Sylvester was
slaughter from start to finish, the
locals winning 18 to 8. This exhibition
was blot on the national pastime
and especially because OF the large
holiday crowd We were to have fin
ished the week with the Worth county
lads but after this game the local of
fcers cancelled the remaining contests
and substituted Camp Benning.
On Wednesday in the initial game
of the series Tanner, a new twirler,
essayed to hurl for Dawson, and if
given proper support would have
brought home the bacon" though he
was hit pretty freely he always man
aged to tighten in the pinches and hold
his own against the visiting swatters.
The battle went eleven chapters with
out a decision and was replete with
thrills all the way. Sullivan went i'll
to bat for Pinkston in the eighth with
the score one run against us, two out
and a man on first. He delivered with
a triple to the right field wall and
knotted the count. The soldiers scored
two in the tenth when Johnson poled
a homer to left center with one on.
We tied it again in our half when Cox
first up doubled to left, Lawrence few
out to center, no advance. Tanner then
singled to left and Cox counted, Tan
ner going to second on the throw in,
Brown next up grounded out short
to first Tanner going to third. Sulli-
van then delivered again with short
infeld hit in front of the plate and
Tanner tied the count. The game was
called in the eleventh on account OF
darkness.
In the second game of the series
before typical Thursday afternoon
crowd Dawson defeated the soldiers
nine to nothing The fans, however,
got their moneys worth, for Sullivan
twirled a no-hit- no-run game. The
big boy had everything and at no
time was in danger of being scored
upon, though Steve Cooke saved his
perfect game by a diving catch OF
sure Texas Lacquer in the eighth in
ming off the bat of Harrison. Sullivan
made fifteen fan the ozone and only
thirty men faced him; one walked,
one was hit by pitched ball and the
other got on when Lawrence missed a
third strike Since Sullivan was the
whole defense, the offense was CON
tributed by almost all the other play
ers. Dumas and Tanner cracked out
home runs, while the whole team hit
