DAWSON HIGH LOSE
THEIR FIRST GAME
DEFEATED BY AMERICUS 6 TO
0. TEAMS WILL MEET ON
GRID HERE FRIDAY.

Dame Fortune frowned on the foot
ball team OF the Dawson high school
Friday afternoon, when the Americas
boys defeated the Terrell lads by the
small but nevertheless winning score
of E to 0. This was the first victory
of the season for the Sumter boys, and
the first defeat of the Dawson Hor-
nets.
Dawson won the toss and elected
to kick off. On a series of line bucks
and forward passes Americas carried
the ball down the field for the only
touchdown of the game Point after
touchdown failed. Dawson received
the kick off on the next play, and with
a number of end runs that could not
be stopped carried the ball to the
courtyard line Here the Dawson lads
fumbled the ball twice in as many
plays, and the half ended with the ball
in midfield.
In the second half the Hornets came
back strong and outgained the Amer
icus team four to one, forcing them to
kick often, Time after time the Daw
son boys threatened, but fumbles pre-
vented them from making the tying
touchdown.
The features of the game were the
sensational end runs by the locals and
the wonderful defensive work of Ted
der, Dawson end. For Americas the
off tackle plays, which they used con-
stantly, were the whole show.
Next FRIDAY the Dawson and Amer
icus teams will meet again. This time
the fight will be staged in the Hor
nets own nest, and battle royal is
the program. 1t is possible that the
continued victories of Dawson had
made them over-conhdent. Cordele
defeated Americas by a large score
but lost the Dawson game. Dope had
it planned that Americas would lose
Friday by several touchdowns.
Be sure to be at the game Friday.
Your moneys worth will be guaran-
teed.

CLAIMS He KILLED
TO SAVE HIS GLANDS
William Gates Tells Remarkable
Story, Explaining Shooting OF
Older Business Associate

LOUISVILLE, KY, March TO-
One of the most remarkable stories
related in the police annals of this
section has just been related to
Louisville authorities by William
Gates, 81 who surrendered to the
police Sunday asserting he had
killed Richard Heaton, SO, his for
mer business associate, the killing
grew out of an effort, Gates al
leges, to rob him of his glands,
Mrs. Heaton being cognizant of the
effort.
Gates told the police that at
Heaton's request, he had gone to
the office of Heaton & Fisher,
merchandise brokers, Thursday
night and that Heaton and a "mys-
FERROUS stranger" held him up with
pistols and handcuffed him. About
10 minutes later he stated he was
taken in an automobile to a house
in Thirty-fourth street and imme-
diately to a room on the second
floor that had been fitted up like
an operating room and tied to a
mattress that was pegged down to
the floor.
During the day he said some 9th
er persons came into the room but
that he was afraid to say anything
for fear Heaton might also be at
hand.
About 6 o'clock Saturday night
someone-it later developed that it
was Mrs. Heaton-came into the
house.
The police questioned him as to
the important phases of the case,
but, because of his condition, post
poned questioning him further. He
was in very nervous condition, the
police asid.
The killing was done, Bates said,
with a derringer pistol he had in
his possession when kidnapped, and
which his captors had overlooked
when they bound and gagged him
in the room where Heaton was
slain.
