FITZGERALD WINS AGAIN
Bonner Gets Best of Pitchers’
Battle Wtih Winn
Fitzgerald took the third game
of the Dawson series Saturday
by & score of 3 ta 2. It was a
pitcher’s battle entirely. Bon
ner, our new slabman from Au
burn University, had it out with
Winn, of G. M. C., and bested
him after a tight race. Bonner
struck out ten Ginnites and
granted four hits, Winn struck
out nine of the home team and
gave up the same number of
bingles. One of cach team’s hits
was a double.
The home team got its start in
the first frame. :
Ginn line a scorching grounder
to Milligan, was thrown out at
first Gilmore was pasesd to first,
Ike Thrasher rolled one down to
Milligan, who threw out Gilmore,
Milligan to Mize, Thrasher safe
at first. loke Thrasher then
popped out to the key-stone tar
bucket. No hits, no runs.
Norris was passed. Cochran
was safe at, first on fielder’s
choice and Norris roosted at
third on Soscbee’s error. Mize
singled to right field, scoring
Norris. Norris = sacrificed the
runners a base cach, Milligan
walloped one to left, scoring
Cochran. Kates at bat. Milligan
“balls the jack” toward second.
Wilkes pegs to Sosebee who pegs
back, but too late to catch Mize,
who has stolen home. Milligan
stops at third. Kates fouls out
to. third baseman. Barber
grounds out, Sosehee to TFloyd.
Two hits, three runs,
THird inning: Winn flys out to
Cochran. Ginn out second to
first. Gilmore gets his second
free ride. Ike Thrasher singles
to centerfield and Cochran pegs
Gilmore at third. Gilmore safe
on Umps’ decision, 1. Thrasher
doubles to right field, scoring Gil
more and lke Thrasher. Welch
whiffs. Two hits, two runs.
Cochran out third to first. Mize
flies out to. Ginn. Barnett
Grounds out, Sosechee to Floyd.
Goose-eggs the rest of the
game. Reason—Winn and Bon
ner both tight as clams. After
the fifth inning, Bonner just play
ed with the Dawson sluggers,
using the cross-fire and spit-ball
with most deadly efiect. Winn
gave up two more hits but had
our boys well in hand.

Fitzgerald plays, Cordele at
Cordele Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday of this week while
Dawson plays Montezuma. Fitz
gerald must take three straights
from Cordele to make any gain in
the standing, as Dawson is sure
to take two out of three frnm%
Montezuma. Thursday, Friday
and Saturday Dawson gets a
whack at Cordele while fwe take
on Montezuma for a three-round
bout. By the latter part of the
week we expect to see Cordele
strong enough to take at least one
of the games from Dawson and itl
is quite probable that Montezuma
will take a game from us. Here
Monday, Tuesday and \\’ednes-‘
day, July 3, 4 and 5, we again
play Corele. By this time the
Hendersonians will be quite a re
doutable aggregation and we can
hope for no better than two out
of three. In other words, the dope
is that Fitzgerald will still be
leading the league July 6, and
Cordele will. by that time be a‘
factor in the pennant race. :\ftcr‘
July 6, we believe that the teams
will run pretty close together for{
the rest of the season,
His name may be “little” Fnss.l
but that is no proof that his feet
are small enough to wear the
shoes he got at the Grand Thurs
day.
“Baby” Wilder, you may have
noticed, is a man who never
kicks at an umps’ decision, al
ways does his best and has never
been seen trying ‘to “put some
thing over” that was not strictly
on the level. Also, he gets the
glad hand at every place he pitch
es a game, even though ‘he is
pitching away from hqzr,%:z}:xhe.re
the game means quite a change n
the percentage column. Every
fan appreciates a good sportsman.
“ELEVATOR” BROWN HADI
A BAD DAY ON MOUND}
Cordele, June 23.—With three
bases on balls and three consecu
tive base hits, Cordele scored Y
runs in the third inning and to
day’s game resulted in a scorc
of 10 to 5 in Cordele’s favor over
Montezuma.
“Elevator” Brown was relieved
by Bloodworth in the third.

We have a new player, Mc-
Cullom by name. He is proficient
both in the in and out field. He
played in North Carolina before
he came here and is said to be a
“plumb good ‘'un.” McCullom
will probably get in the game to
morrow as he will be eligible then
under the league rules.
So Marcus Milligan is the hand
somest man on the ball team. All
we have got to say is—who'd a
thunk it?
A ninth inning rally is a mighty
pretty thing and is certainly con
ducive to good cheer on the part
of the supporters of the team that
makes-it. But it is certainly
tough on the club that loses.
Those G. M. C. boys have al
ways been noted for fighting to
the last gasp. A team that is
never beaten until the last man is
out is a mighty dangerous propo
sition, for its opponents.

Imittees were authorized to be

Resolution
Whereas, Fifteen new counties
have been created in this staté
since the formation of the exist
ing senatorial district;
Whereas, There has been al
most a hundred per cent. increase
in the population of the state
since the formation of the pres
ent senatorial districts;
Whereas, In this immediate
section of Georgia, four new
counties” have been created con
tiguous to cach other, and in the
heart of. that section of the state
which has witnessed the most
rapid increase in wealth, develop
ment, and population in the last
two decades and, .
Whereas, The senatorial dis
tricts of this section of the state
to which these new counties have
been attached, contain from four
to six counties each, thus depriv
ing this growing section of Geor
gia of Its fair and just right to
cqual representation in the senate
and throwing the number of
counties composing the present
districts out of balance with the
majority of the districts of the
statc which contain only three
counties each; -
Thercfore, Be It Resolved, By
the citizens of Ben Hill, Irwin,
| Wilcox, /Furner, Crisp and Tift
coanties, in mass meeting assem
bled at Fitzgerald, on this the
23rd day of June, 1916, as follows,
to-wit :
[. That we favor the creation
of two new senatorial dictricts in
this section to be organized, one
out of the counties of Turner,
li't, and Crisp, which are con
veniently located on a main line
of railroad and through: which
runs the National Highway; and
the other out of Wilcox, Ben Hill
aod Irwin counties which are
conveniently located as to each
other by lines of railroad, and
through which runs the Dixie
Highway.
2. That we petition the Gen
eral Assembly of Georgia to sub
mit a constitutional amendment
to the people of the state to be
voted on at the next general el
cction increasing the number of
senatorial districts, and creating
the two new districts to which
this section is justly entitled.
3. That we favor new districts
in any other section of the state
entitled to them on the same
terms of justice and equality.
By consent of those present,
Wilcox and Tift counties were
given the initial members of the
senate of the two districts, should
they become created at this ses
sion of the legislature. The new
districts as planned will be form
ed out of Tift, Turner and Crisp
for the 45th and Irwin, Ben Hill
and Wilcox for the 46th..
The committees which will be
named by the Chairman will im
mediately take such steps as nec
essary to carry out the purpose
of the resolution.
