The Dawson news. (Dawson, Ga.) 1889-current, 1923-06-26

en- authority by the league to eject
players from the game when they be-
come obstreperous and have them put
out OF the park. Rules which may
have more than one Interpretation,
such as the nheld fly rules, etc, will
be explained to the umpires by the
officials of the league, and it is under
stood here that each umpire Will be
required to report any unusual hap
penings to the president OF the cir
cult, who is Prof. J. M. Stackhouse,
of cambridge. Dan L. Gibson, OF Al
bany was elected secretary and treas
urer. The directors Of the cir
cult are as follows: Albany, Dan
Gibson; Americas, Rufus Lane; Ar
lngton, R. H. Bostwick; cambridge,
]. NJ. Stackhouse; Blakely, w. M.
Smith; Dawson, c. d. Cooke.
In the final game with Albany here
Wednesday it is the concensus OF
opinion among the baseball sharks OF
the town that there was no reason
whatsoever for the locals to come out
on the smaller end of the score BY
sharks we mean those fans who real
ly know the inner points OF the game
analytically as well as enthusiasnca!-
ly. Minchew was hurting good enough
baseball to keep the visitors under
the Dawson score. But if a change OF
pitchers was necessary why not have
put in Hines, who could have pitched
three innings without necessarily
straining himself, or Hap Henderson,
who .thrives on hard work and who
was eager to get into the fray. Dan
iels was hired by the local club as an
outhelder and as such has certainly
done his part. He was directly respon-
sible for the first victory over Albany
and his big bat has taken a promi-
nent part III every game he has played
in. 1t was not his fault the game was
lost; he was out there putting them
over with every ounce OF the stuff he
had.
1t is not the purpose of this column
to criticise; we had rather praise
good play a thousand times rather
than criticise one bad play, but we
have got to charge the loss OF the Al
bany game up to bad judgment, and
very bad judgment at that.
Blakely Has Fast Team.
Blakely will be the team for DaW-
son to beat if the pennant of the
South Georgia Circuik is to fly at
Baldwin park this season. The hard
wood city is collecting an aggrega-
ton that will be the hardest gang in
the loop to best when they get start
ed
First and foremost Wallace Wade,
lately assistant coach of Vanderbilt
and next year head coach at the Uni
versity of Alabama, will be at the
helm of the Blakely aggregation.
On first base is lobe Edwards, OF
Tech; second base, a man from Cum
berland University; short stop, Kuhn
of Vandy and third base lobe Wood
ruff, captain of the Vandy squad the
past season and the best third sacker
in the southern conference. In the out
field is George (Father) Clarke, of
Georgia; Turner, of Mississippi A. &
NJ; Miles, from Dyersburg, Tenn,
and Warren of Pinehurst, Ga. The re-
ceiver hasn't been announced yet, but
Wade will have three good pitchers
besides himself, one OF them being
Steamer Cochran, well-known to the
south Georgia fans.
Dawson plays in Blakely on Mon
day and Tuesday with the hardwood
aggregation coming here for the final
game of the series Wednesday.
This series will be one OF the best
of the year for up to this time Daw-
son has been the class OF the league
and it can be easily seen that Blakely
is the strongest club to appear IN this
town yet.
