Ball Season Ends Today. The baseball season ends in Dalton today. Baseball has provcff rather expensive to the association this year, the expenditures run ning in excess of the receipts some $270. This is a matter to be re gretted, as the Dalton club, not withstanding a number of games lost, has played excellently and deserved a much better patronage than it received. In fact, consid erably more games have been won than lost on the home grounds. What of That for a Game of Base ball? By a score of 25 to 0 Dalton defeated South Pittsburg yester day. Tuesday they did the same by a score of 18 to 4. These make eight straight games won by Dal ton. She’s all right! George Spencerians. Eight straights, not bad. Independents, now support them. Hamilton got his home run even if it was under the fence. Ison still hits for good ones and improves in catching every day. Dalton is now playing baseball but the people won’t support them* South Pittsburg plays “town ball” all right, turn them over to the second nine. Whitaker is still “showing up” all second base men who come along. He does it with all ease. Dalton has six home run men Whitaker fi, Snodgrass 4, Cotting- ham 2, Ison 1, Dillard 1, Hamil ton 1. Dillard, like Whitaker, “shows up”all right on 3rd,hits,steals bases, pitches, and, in fact, can play any place on the team. Rome hasn*t won a game since she took two out of three from us in Rome, when we sent a badly crippled team down there. Snodgrass is a “high stepper,” besides playing extra fine ball. He will have no trouble “making good” in the League any time he may try. Today witnesses the last game of the season, but the team is go ing to play on for a few weeks. Come out and support a good team—the best in the South. Kilpatrick is out of the game on account of a fractured elbow. It is hoped that it is not so bad as to keep him out of the game long, for he is playing extra good ball now. Cottingham not only twirls but fields his position to perfection. He found the fence all right. They never get over 6 or 7 hits off of him. He has pitched Dal ton’s two shut-out games. Hello! Scott, are you learning how to play “Pee Wee Base Ball” from Whitaker? You can play baseball, so don’t try to take les sons from our famous second base- man. You play first as good as any team would want a man to. MASONIC RESOLUTIONS On Death of Brothers L. W. Barrett and John H. Phillips. At the last meeting of Dalton Lodge, No. 105, F. & A. M., the following resolutions were pre sented and accepted: To the W.
