2000 FANS SEE OPENING GAME
OF BASEBALL SEASON IN DAWSON
DAWSON-BAINBRIDGE

VISITORS WIN FIRST BUT SUL

THURSDAY'S GAME.
DAWSON NOW HAS FAST TEAM
Club Is Composed of Former League
Plavers and College Stars. Albany
And Arlington Will Play Lodals
Here This Week.
In a slow, listless and uneventful
game of ball, Dawson lost the initial
contest of the scason to Bainbridge
by a score of four to one. The game
was devoid of features except for the
brilliant plaving of Leon Harmon,
cecond baseman of the visitors. Har
mon, besides knocking in one of Bain
bridge’s tallies, nipped the only Daw
son rally in the bud by a falling stop
of a sure hit ball off Lightioot’s bat
in the sixth inning. After falling
prone on the ground he threw the
sphere from that position to Webh at
first, who completed the out. |
Hap Henderson, in his first start
for Dawson this vear, was as wild as
a March hare and was touched pret-|
ty ireely at times. He struck out ten |
men, but walked eight and hit two.
Cordell, the opposing slabman, held !
the locals in the hollow of his glove
all the way except in the sixth, when |
the stop by Harmon killed the threat- |
ened rally. i
Sullivan cast himself in a star ;mrt!
by his throw to the plate to catch|
Webb in the sixth inning after Stack- |
house's long fly to center. Eddie Raw- |
son also made the play possible by a!
periect stop and tag of the fast flying!
Bevo. Webb was best with the wil- |
low for Bainbridge, while none of the|
locals could qualify enough in '.hi_:!
department to be mentioned especial- |
ly. ;

DAWSON EVENS SERIES.
Dawson won the secand battle
form Bainbridge on the home grounds
Thursday afternoon before a large
holiday crowd. The final count_was
five to three. Like the one of ‘the
day before the game was slow and at
times lifeless. Several sparkling plays,
however, broke the monotony of the
drab routine of the contest. Shorty
Poore caught his pony and galloped
back in deep left centcr and snared
one off Gibson'’s bat which was al
ready labeled a trinle, one man was
on base at the time and two were out.
Tom Harmon again handled the
keystone sack for the visitors like a
big leaguer. He accepted eleven
chances, every one of them difficult,
sceming to have a special grudge
against Manion, guardian 6f the local

Summary—Two base hits, Haiele,‘
DUST FROM THE DIAMOND.
When an opposing batsman hits a
hard one to second base it's peculiar
how the fans always predict the out.
But then it's so seldom that Bobby
Pinkston misses. one that it doesn’t
ceem so strange after all. Bobby is
the surest fielder ever to show his
wares on the local diamond, and all
the cash customers at Baldwin park
are unanimous in their belief that he
is the most dangerous man at the bat
Jn a_ pinch in the circuit with the pos
sible exception of Isaac Thrasher, of
Arlington. The honorable Ike is more
likely to break up a ball team than
[:m_v player ever to appear in this sec
tion, and we wish that he could have
been prevailed upon to play here this
,scason but Isaac had promised Tige
Stone to go to Arlington, and if there
is one thing a semi-pro ball player is
inon‘-(l for it is his firm intention to
' keep his promise, unless somebody
~offers him more money on the way to
the town he has traded with. Then,
lin that case, it seems to be no breach
of ball players’ etiquette (if there is
such a thing) to stop where the mon
ey is highest and let the other town

the best they” can without him.

DAWSON WINS AGAIN.
Dawson made it two in a row when
they bested Bainbridge in her own
back vard Friday by a score of 8 to
3. Minchew, pitching his first game
for Dawson, was invincible until
Dawson scored eight runs in the third
inning. The Norman Park boy then
let up a trifle on account of a sore
wing, and ecased along until the game
finished. Mosely, the venerable hero
of many diamond battles in the sweet
Jong ago, was unable to stem the tide
of Dawson bats. This blushing haired
old pitcher should have been sent to
the soldiers’ home twenty years ago.
_ Shorty Poore again_ starred at the
plate for Dawson. The way this
midget is hitting this year is a revela
tion, and why he did not play in ev
ery Mercer game this year is a mys
tery.
Batteries—Bainbridge: Mosely and
Gibson: Dawson: Minchew and Raw
son. _—
J. PLUVIUS TAKES ONE.
The fourth and concluding game of
the series with Bainbridge was rained
out in that town Saturday aiternoon,
leaving Dawson on the top with two
oi the three-game series securely at
tached to her belt.
Hap Henderson was scheduled to
pitch the last game against his ancient
enemy Cordell, who won the only
game Bainbridge was able to take in
the series. The series as a whole shows=
ed that both clubs can still stand not
a small bit of strengthening. Bain
bridge needs much more new blood,
however, than the locals, who look to
be nearly set for the grind in every
department. Manager Stackhouse, of
the Bainbridge crew, made the state
ment before he left here that he had
already signed a quantity of new ma
terial which would take the field the
latter part ofi the week.” Their catcher,
Charlie Gibson, is undoubtedly among
the best, if not the best, in his posi
tion in the league. He has a sure arm,
is a very heady catcher and above all
he can be depended upon to hit well
above the charmed 300 circle.
Two out oi every three games this
vear would be very acceptable to lo
cal fans should the club do this well
in just the majority of every series,
there is no doubt that the bunting
would flv in the Dawson lot.
ness. It is suicide to attempt to pilfer
one off the sure armed manager. He
is weak with the bat, but then no one
hag ever accused any pitcher or being
in any way reluctant about shoving
them over when it's Eddie’s turn at
the bat.
The loval support and sporting
conduct of the fans of Dawson and
this section certainly merit com
mendation. Arlington may be the
wonder city of baseball, as termed by
one of the daily newspapers, but
when it comes right down to a good
haseball town Dawson cannot be
beat. Year in and year out the fans
are the most enthusiastic, the fairest
and the best conducted assembly of
any other place around here. Every
vear the baseball movement is start
ed here and the other towns invited
to have teams. The fans here have
but one bad habit: that is knocking
the home players just a little too
much. Some criticism helps, notwith
standing other comment, but much of
it makes the player mentally incapable
oi playing the brand of ball he is
capable of.
Americus Signs Ed Wade.
Americus has already . collected a
nifty aggregation of pastimers, among
them being Eddie \Wade, the fastest
man and surest fielder the locals ever
had. It is very_regretful that a place
on Dawson’s team couldn’t have been
found for Eddie. He has just had a
vear of work under Claude Satter
field at Gordon, and should be a nice
lv polished player this year. We pre
dict for Eddie the best year in his ca
reer, and only hope that if he has any
bad days they will come around when
Americus is playing Dawson.

‘EDITOR LANE, OF EDISON,
| VISITS NORTH GEORGIA AND
E NORTH AND S. CAROLINA.
' Editor lLane, of the Edison News,
'recently traveled by car through the
‘lower and upper parts af North and
' South Carglina and Georgia and in
:terviewed hundreds of farmers in these
three states. He found the situation
'as to crops distressing, and gives in
lthe current issue of his paper the fol
!lowing information obtained from the
farmers themselves and from observa
tion:
. “The cotton situation in these three
states is deplorable. In North Caroli
'na the farmers are badly behind, be
ing greatly delayed in planting due to
?an extremely late spring, and the same
might be said about South Carolina.
l “The cotton acreage is greatly re
duced and in many instances no cot
ton is_planted on large farms that
heretofore planted hundreds and
thousands of acres. Oats, tobacco,
hay and peanuts are being substituted
for cotton, and even though there is|
lnot such ‘a handsome profit shown in
Iprqducing these crops, farmers dvc!arel
it is a safer and saner farm program.
' The tobacce crop is good, and the
outlook is bright for at least a normal
crop. The oat crop of South Carolina
is good and many farmers are turning
|thoir farms into grain farms entirely.
. “It might be interesting to know
ithat while we here in Georgia are sui
fering from too much rain the North
Carolina’ farmer is dry; scarcely no
| rain has fallen in six weeks, and in
- many instances the yards that have
'a heavy sod of grass would turn like
'a sedge field.
l “It is gratifving to know that we in
| southwest Georgia have the best pros
| pect for a cotton crop of any :ccti(m‘
' in the Carolinas or Georgia. Farmers
|in middle and north Georgia were
| plowigg in mud, rather than let grass
!lukv the fields, and around Macon the|
| crops anpear not to have had any cul-|
| tivation at all other than the first!
? plowing. |
| “We are not in a position to say
| what the condition of the cotton crop‘
' might be over the entire belt, but we!
| can say from authority that if any
thing like a normal crop is produced |
lthh‘ year it will come {irom other |
'states than the Carolinas and Georgia.j
‘unless some miraculous conditions |
develop. : |
| “To summarize the cotton crop |
condition we might say that in North
' Carolina the acreage has been reduc
ed and the crop is late; in South Car-|
olina the acrcage has been reduced
iand the fields are heavily infested with
' weevils and in Georgia the heavy rains |
!havc kept the crop from being prop- |
(erly cultivated, and the weevil infcs-l
%mti(‘m is heavy all over the state.” i
