The Thomasville men tell of strange treatment. It is peculiar but true that the -Bainbridgo men ou their home groueds could not muster a full team. They were grati'ed permission to t ike one man from stare other place. In- stem! of this they took two of the best shots on the ground, Napier of Macon and Gibson of Eufaula, Ala. By the aid of those two cfficks they made a score eight bettor than Thomasville. The Thomasville team protested this score on the ground that Bainbridge had no right to shoot two outsiders.

As quick as a flash ho recognized lie was being held up, but instead of submitting, he bar rio lly pulled out his pocket knife, open ing it as he did so, The knife was the only weapon he had. and it was an in- usually diminutive affair. As Mr. Batey turned, he saw that liis assailants were two negroes. One of them turned and ran at once, but the other readied to his hip pocket as if for a pistol.
