Golf, from 8A
just didn't score well," said Thrift.
"We did not perform real well."
The 660 shot by the Panthers
put them 49 shots behind Ware
County, which won the tournament
in a tiebreaker against Hardaway
with a 611.
There were five county teams at
the meet, including two teams from
Warner Robins High School. Of
the five county schools, the number
one Warner Robins team came
away with top honors, shooting a
643,17 strokes in front of the Pan
thers.
Houston County finished sev
enth overall, and second in the
county, with a score of 649. After
Run, from 8A
was, by far, the biggest ever."
Tolleson said many runners
came to the race to get points for
the "Run and See Georgia" series.
"I think it (the Dogwood SK) is fi
nally starting to catch on," said
Tolleson. "Many runners are learn
ing that this is a good race because
of the (Dogwood) Festival."
Because of the number of run
ners, the race was "extremely"
competitive, said Tolleson. How
ever, there was another side of the
"race." "It was a laid back race for
those who wanted to walk it," said
Tolleson, who is also employed by
Perry Hospital. She added that the
hospital got behind the run and
walk because "any type of exercise
is good."
Even though the race enjoyed
great success, Tolleson said there
were not any current plans to
change it to a 10K run/walk.
"The most important thing for
the race was to have more than ex
pected," said Eller, who added that
race organizers ran out of materials.
"That is a good problem,” he said.
Eller added that the big races
were growing, but that many of the
smaller races, such as the Dogwood
Festival SK, were losing runners
because of a tight economy.

Did You Know?
The 1930 St. Louis Cardinals
are the only professional team to
have every member of its regular
lineup to hit over .300.
Managed by Gabby Street, the
Cardinals finished first in the Na
tional League with a record of 92-
62, just two games ahead of the
Chicago Cubs. The Cardinals
would lose the World Series to the
Philadelphia Athletics in six
games.
Although secondbaseman
Frankie Frisch and firstbaseman Joe
Bottomley would wind up in the
Hall of Fame, the team batting
leader was rookie George Watkins,
who batted .373 in 119 games.
Even with every member hitting
above .300 in the starting lineup,
the Cardinals had only the third best
batting average as a team, finishing
behind the Giants (.319) and
Phillies (.315).
It was not a good year for pitch
ers as the league batted a combined
.303. National League pitchers had
a combined 4.97 ERA.
Perry came Northside, which was
15 strokes behind the Panthers with
a 675. The Warner Robins second
team came in 10th, finishing the
tournament with a 686.
Stan Gann led the Perry golfers
with a 157 over the weekend.
Woody Sundquist was nine strokes
behind Gann's pace, finishing with
a 166. Paul Smith was third among
the Panthers, finishing with a 169.
Andrew Willard checked in the
scorer’s table Saturday with a 171,
and Jim Birdsong finished with a
176.
Thrift said the young Perry team
still needed to learn course man

Thrift, adding that Ware was ca
pable of shooting under 300 most
days, around 20 strokes better than
Perry. "They do a good job.
"We are still in the running,"

Dallas Waldrip, who entered the
game batting a shade under .500,
drew a walk to load the bases. Brett,
who was 0-2 on the afternoon, col
lected the first of three hits to put
the Panthers ahead, 3-2.
Meeks would tie the game in the
bottom of the fifth, scoring the
third Devil run on his own. He led
the inning off with a walk, stole
second, advanced to third on a wild
pitch and then stole home.
The sixth and seventh innings
would see offensive explosions
from the Panthers.

Epilepsy tourney set for May
Area golfers will soon have a
chance to tour the 18 holes of
Houston Lake Country Club while
raising money for the Epilepsy
Foundation of America.
Registration is on-going for the
Middle Georgia Golf Classic for
Epilepsy, which will be held at
Houston Lake May 20.
The tournament will kick off at
11:30 with lunch, tee times will
follow at 1 p.m.
Waldrip and capped by a two-out
RBI double by Brett to right.
Walker was the offensive star of
the seventh, driving a three-run
homer over the left-center field
fence. Waldrip tried to make it
back-to-back homers. But, his hit
bounced once in front of the fence
before it went over the left-center
field fence. Brett would follow with
his second RBI double in two in
nings to score Waldrip.
"I was real glad to see that
(Oliver’s hitting)," said Jones. "He's
been swinging the bat; but, he’s
been a little off balance. It's good to
see him get a hit.
The tournament will follow a
four-man scramble format, with one
player having a 0-7 handicap, an
other an 8-12 handicap, the third a
13-17 handicap and the fourth a
handicap over 18. Registration fee
is $65 per player.
Gift certificates will be awarded
to the first five place teams. For
further information, call Jackie
Klein at 987-2992.
"Jason Brett got some good
hits," said Jones.
Davis had the complete game
victory for the Panthers, allowing
four runs, three earned. He gave up
seven hits and five walks while
recording three strikeouts.
"Troy (Davis) came on," said
Jones. "We needed him to pitch
seven innings to save Dallas
(Waldrip) and Jason (Brett).
"We would have liked for his
ball/strike ratio to be better, but he
hung in there and got some outs
when he had to. He showed a lot of
character."
The win gives Perry a 7-6 mark
on the year.
