Thomasville Headed Pelham at Bali
Playing Monday-
Revenge is Bweet! It was easy; in fact,
a cinch. The Pelhamitea reni, vedi,
4 *ricid” cuce upon a time bat Monday
from the time Hopkins pitched his first
I .all until the long, tedions slaughter was
over the visitors were at the meioyof
Thomasville. From the size of the
score, a person who wasn’t “op” would
hardly suppose “mercy” a fitting term.
In order however that they might seem
children justified of charity, the locals
allowed the one run to be made. This
proves the Pelhamites are not wooden
men. all.
The team brought down yesterday
f^om Pelham was very much the same
one which defeated Thoms svillo in the
^sad scaled days of early July. On this
account the revenge is made, bat the
sweeter. Nobody will begrudge the
Thomasville players their statement that
Pelham’s last stage was better than her
first, “not that they played worse, but
that we played better” says Manager
-Grant—and Manager Grant is a truth-
ltd man.
The old stand-bys made up Thomas
ville’s team. Will Hopkins delivered the
goods. It is not amiss to state that
Dodie Williams had a chance to receive
most all that were delivered in his di
rection. He received them too; he
doesn’t know how to refuse. Will Bibb

wants to prosecute him for larceny after
trust. They trusted he could' uot get to

played ball like Colonels. Will Watt at
second, Groover at short,Linton nt third
and Palin. Flemming and Remer McIn
tyre in the field, hod hands like tar
buckets and bats lilio wagon tougues.
Mr. Ardis MoDoufcnld presided as am-
pir^, and there was no body who ques
tioned his fairness. The Pelliamites-
are clever boys, and Thomasville gives
them a glad hand, winning or losing.
