ALBANY WINS FIRST HALF. |
The first half of the pennant race
in the South Georgia Circuit came to
a close Saturday, Albany winning by
a narrow margin over Dawson. Ar
lington stood third, Amerlcus fourth,
Blakely fifth and Bainbridge sixth.
SECOND HALF OPENS.
Nearly every team in the circuit
has strengthened for the second half.
Blakely has several new players,
among them being Jenkins and
Pounds, outfielders; Thrasher and
Wilkes, inflelders; McClelland, catch
er; Williamson, Kemp and Turk,
pitchers. The club looks like a real
winner now, and expect to make
a hot fight for the second half of
the season, thereby winning a fight
with Albany for the real winner of
the season.

BLAKELY AND ARLINGTON
SPLIT EVEN.
Arlington drew first blood in the
opening series Monday afternoon,
in a six-inning affair following a
downpour of rain by the score of 5
to 3. Cochran on the mound for
Blakely, was touched for four hits,
which coupled with several bases on
balls, gave the visitors four tallies
in the first two innings. After this
lie held the visiting swatters hitless.
Luther Blood worth was touched for
nine safeties by the local swatsmlths,
but managed to get by with a vic
tory, although things were looking
bad for him when his limps called
the game on account of darkness at
the end of the sixtli inning. George
Clark, Blakely center fielder, and
one of the most popular players who
ever donned a Blakely uniform, con
tributed a circus catch which drew
much applause from the stands. A
running, leaping one-handed stall of
a line drive that was easily labeled
three bases.
Blakely evened the score up on
Tuesday, in Arlington, however, win
ning by the score of 3 to 1 in one
of the prettiest and hardest fought
games of the season. It was a pret
ty pitcher’s battle between Turk for
Blakely and Wilder for Arlington,
the former allowing 7 hits and the
latter 8. Both hurlers were accorded
errorless support. The feature catch
of the afternoon was made by Jen
kins, Blakely left fielder, who made
a shoe string catch of Stone’s liner
in the last inning. It was one of
the prettiest catches ever made on
any ground. Wilkes also contributed
a nice catch in the opening inning.
George Clark was the timely hitter,
getting the hit that drove in the
two Blakely runs in the ninth in
ning.
Wednesday’s game was broken up
by a down pour of rain during the
fourth inning, Arlington leading at

TACKLE DAWSON TODAY.
1 The Blakely Club went up to Daw
-1 son today for games today and to
- morrow, returning Saturday for a
game here Saturday with Dawson.
1 Dawson made a hard fight for the
i first, half and has one of the best
f clubs in the circuit, and our gang
t will have to work hard to defeat
f Eddie Rawson’s charges. Quite a
large delegation of fans will go up
to see the game today, no doubt.

1 DUST FROM THE DIAMOND,
1 “Goat” Cochran has been made
■ manager of the Blakely club, suc
ceeding Coach Walter Wade, who
gave up his post following Saturday’s
game. The new manager imme
diately got busy securing new play
ers, determined to give Blakely a
winning club.
—o—
Pete Austin, popular outfielder on
the Blakely club, who was released,
has signed up with Albany, we hear.
Pete was a good ball player and will
make Albany a valuable man. There
were too many outfielders on the
club and some one had to go.
—o —
Pounds in right field and Jenkins
in left look mighty good. With the
old reliable Clark in center. Blakely
can boast of as good outfield as any
of ’em—it just can’t be beat.
o
The pitching staff, with Cochran,
Turk. Williamson, Morris and Kemp,
looks good. Dick Lowrey, well
known in South Georgia, is expected
to join the club this week.
—o —
The count now stands 3 and 1 in
Blakely’s favor in the games played
with our old rival, Arlington. The
boys from the little Calhoun county
city are working hard to even the
count, and the games next week,
especially the double-headev Thurs
day afternoon, should draw a record
breaking crowd. Blakely doesn t in
tend to be licked by Arlington this
year.
—o —
Many of the sport writers and
the public, too, as for that matter,
are panning the directors of the
South Georgia Circuit for allowing
Joe Jackson, blacklisted leaguer, to
play with Americus in this circuit.
It will be remembered that Shoeless
Joe was one of the six White Sox
(Chicago) players who were fired
by President Comiskey for throwing
the 1919 world’s series. Blakely
plays only one home game with
Americus during the second half,
hence the heavy hitter will be seen
in action in Blakely only once.
