Thomasville has it Dead Easy ~ With Ochlockones. Only a small crowd witnessed the hall game at Athletic Park yestardsy afternoon between Thomasville and Ochlockones. The people were a lit tle sore over the Moultrie game last week and were evidently unwilling to spend any more money to see another much game. But notwithstanding the fact that the game yesterday was one sided all the way through, it was nevertheless quite and those who did attend felt well repaid for the time and money spent. The Ochlockones boys came down at 1:30 o'clock—on the freight and they looked capable of putting up a good game of ball. Our boys sized them up and at once realized that they would have to play ball in ear near i they beat them. George De Mott, of the Little River team, was with the Ochlocko» neo boys and had charge of the team. Fie is an all round good ball player. When Umpire Baker called the game at to’clock Thomasville went to the bat. The fiat man up, Bou chelle, knocked a three bagger and the crowd went wild. But he died on third bas, the side being retired be fore he scored. Ochlock once then came to the bat, but Thomasville had the “kid bate , as they are called, Dekle and Wetherington, doing the work for them and the boys from Ochlockonce could not do a thing with them. De kle fanned them out as fast as they came to the bat, and he kept it up throughout the whole game. De Mott's men never did get on to De kle’s balls and it was a walk over for the home team from the beginning. When the game was ended the score allowed nine goose eggs for Ochlocko nee and seventeen runs for Thomas ville. The two teams were composed of the following : ‘Thomasville The Score by innings: Thomasville 03075010 1—17 Ochiockonee 000000000—0 Mr. Hansell Baker, of Monticello, umpired the game in a fair and im partial manner. There was not a single kick made on his decisions. The features of the game were the heavy batting of the Thomasvilles, the splendid battery work of Dekle and Wetherington, and the general poor playing of the Ocblockonee boys, Dekle struck out fourteen men during the game and very few sale hits were made off of him. And Wetherington gave him splendid support. This sitle battery is the strongest to its weight and size in the south and the boys were the recipients of many compliments on their work. The entire home team played good ball yesterday, better than they have been doing. The Ochluckonee boys are a very gentlemanly crowd of young men, clever and nice to play ball with, but they need a great deal of practice be fore they can play a good game of ball. We hope they will practice up and come down and try us again. We guarantee them a good time and a red hot game.—Daily T.E. Aug, 31,
