VALLEY LEAGUE (Continued from front page) us withdraw from the league or put us at such a disadvant¬ age as to eliminate us as- a contender.” "The Lookout Valley League president turned down a re¬ quest last Sunday,” Tinker de¬ clared, "to let us play in a tournament at Sylvania, Ala., on the fourth of July without giving any reason.” It was pointed out that La Fayette, Whitwell, and Davis games at Rising Fawn and the made no objection to playing action taken was pushed by the Dalton and Tunnel Hill teams. ”We could have law protec¬ tion at the games at Rising Fawn and we are entitled to it,” Tinker continued. "But the county la'V officers refuse to be present at the games and therefore are partly respon¬ sible for the action taken against the Dade County team.” "However,” Woodrow added, “the league would probably find some other reason to pen¬ alize us even if we had law protection at the games. But this fact gives them easy grounds for taking out their spite on the Dade County team.” Some people were under the impression that the league en¬ forced this ruling against Dade County because of an incident at LaFayette on June 22 in which a Dade player struck an umpire. But the letter from Dalton requesting that the ac¬ tion be taken was mailed on the previous Friday before the incident occured and therefore had no bearing on it. In first-half meetings be¬ tween Dade County and the two protesting teams—Tunnel Hill and Dalton — Dade beat Dalton 4-2 and 7-4 and tramp¬ led Tunnel Hill 22-3.
