The 1923 baseball season will open
on the Dawson diamond Wednesday,
June 18th, the fast cambridge club
coming here for a two-game series.
Dawson will journey to cambridge
for games in that city Friday and
Saturday.
cambridge is the dark horse of the
new South Georgia Loop and is man
aged by ]. M. Stackhouse, former
star South Atlantic League pitcher,
who, under the name OF James, pitch
ed a no hit game for Columbia against
Charleston several years back. 1t is
reported here that Stackhouse has
corralled a fast gang of ball players
and though they have given out no
announcement as yet it is generally be-
lieved that they will have the cream
of the league.
Just who will appear in Dawson
uniforms has not been disclosed yet
by the. officials, but from bits of ru-
NOR floating around it is believed
that this city will be represented by
the fastest team ever gathered to-
gether on Baldwin park.
Albany will play in Dawson on
Monday, June 18th, and again on
Wednesday, the 10Th. The Dougherty
county town will probably open here
with Jack Slappey, who has been
pitching baseball long before the. ad-
IL. Ill To- 1,~.-
pitching in the Texas League for
Shreveport until recently, when he
Joined his home team. He also had a
year with Connie Mack's Athletics.
Arlington Comes 22nd.
On Friday, June p, Arlington will
make her debut on the local diamond,
Arlington is this year managed by
Tige' Stone, one of the best-known
semi-pro players in Georgia, and with
al a fine young gentleman. Under
Tige's able leadership the Bostwick
ties will present a strong array OF
material. He has Ike Thrasher, Hop
Morgan, Cliff Pantone, Charlie
Hodges and others we'll acquainted
throughout this section.
Following is the tentative schedule
OF the locally christened South Geor-
gia Loop, which will begin its grind
tomorrow, June 18th. The schedule
is only tentative and runs through

Ali Teams Stronger This Year.
Dawson will present one of the
der the local name when the club tricks
der the local name when the clug tricks
out on Baldwin park for the initial
struggle of the season. Heretofore,
for as many moons as most OF us can
remember, the Dawson team has been
woefully weak at the beginning of
the grind and then strengthened as
the season progressed. This time,
however, the home team will be in
the fight from the tap of the bell.
Albany will have one OF the strong
est aggregations ever to don the
Dougherty county livery, that is GER
tain. The officers OF that club have
been at work for some time gather
ing material and it is safe to bet that
it is well to rest assured that the old
fox will have strong representation
for his wonderful little baseball town.
ANY team that boasts of Tige Stone
and Sullivan on its pitching staff will
be hard to beat in at least two games
of any series
lust what Uncle Bob Bostwick will
have at Arlington is hard to tell, but
when their opening lineup is announc-
ed some of the best known college
stars in Georgia and Alabama will be
ready to answer to their names. 1t
will be indeed hard for Albany to as
semble as good team as it had last
year at the beginning of the season.
