DAWSON HIGH LOST
GAME TO ALBANY
OPENED SEASON ON FRIDAY
WITH A SMALL CROWD
IN ATTENDANCE.

Before a small crowd that Shlvered
with the cold, Dawson opened the
1924 baseball season by losing to the
Albany high school team by a score
OF II to 4. The game was not as loose
" PLAYED as the score indicates, for !
of the II Albany runs were made when
Dawson lads suffered one bad inning,
The other six runs OF the Albany ag-
grcgation were we'll scattered, as were
those made by Cox's cohorts.
The Dawson team as a whole play
ed a good game, making ten hits. Iur-
ncr on the mound for Dawson, al
though giving up thirteen hits held
his position well, striking out ten men
to three struck out by Royal, Albany 5
pitcher.
There were no tense moments after
the first three innings, the score until
that time being ! OF 0 in favor OF the
Dougherty county lads.
Albany made their first counter in
the first inning, while the local team
remained scorelcss until the third m
ming. when three runs were made. One
bad inning. the fifth when Albany
made 7 runs, spelled defeat for the To-
cal team
Dawson scored in the first and
fourth innings while the Albany play
ers added three to their total in the
seventh.
The locals were handicapped by not
having had any practice the past week,
due to the two games played on the
local diamond by Mercer and Florida,
and the bad weather which prevailed
on ahc remaining days Of the week.
The defeat will make the locals work
all the harder at the next practices,
and the outlook for a successful sea
son is bright The lineup follows:

BY THE SOPHOMORES
A STRAY PIPE CAUSES MUCH
EXCITEMENT IN THE
SENIOR CLASS.

Friday morning the ninth grade en-
tertained the school with program
in the form of a mock faculty, under
the direction OF Mr. Cox. Both past
and present teachers were impersonat-
ed Jack Jones read a comic chronicle
of the happenings Tor the year, which
also brought many laughs.
The Spencerian quartet, from the
senior class, rendered selection with
out accompaniment "a d without

and which showed that students had
rather listen to anything about their
teachers than from them.
SCHOOL NOTES.
The grammar school had the pro-
gram all to themselves Friday, but
Judging from the noise a good time
was had by all.
The senior class was obliged to
stop their civics class and admit more
fresh air on account OF a very strong
pipe which strayed into the room,
probably looking for its owner. Miss
TAYLOR thought the pipe belonged to
some member OF the class, but as ev-
erv one agreed that the pipe was
strong enough to walk 1t was decided
that il must have strayed in, as has
been stated above. 1t was sent to the
cellar and cremated.

Schaeffer, challenger.
Entering the final block Of the
1500-point match with a lead OF PSI
points last night, he increased that
margin to win handily, 1900 to 1895.
Tickle weather again marred the
action Of the balls. and though the
champion was able to score but
fifty-five in the first eight innings
Of the final block, the challenger
could do no better. After that,
Hoppe stroked more in the manner
that leads Hoppe fans to believe
he could score with three apples
on the table.
Hoppe won because he was better
at overcoming difficulties. In the
fifteenth inning Of the evening and
the forty.ninth of the match, he
FASTENED the finish with a run Of

Of ninety-seven, the best he had
