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.

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 agement.

We've got to play the course better, and not let it play us. "I think this weekend might have got some (player's) attention by the way they performed."

"They have a lot of tradi tion and a good bit of depth," said Thrift, adding that Ware was ca pable of shooting under 300 most days, around 20 strokes better than Perry. "They do a good job.

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.

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.
