Pearson and Base Ball.
There has been some attractive
games on the local diamond this
season, games where the scores
were reduced to minimum, but the
outlook is not so bright for the
future.
This is a time when base ball
players, who are only amateurs,
have to hustle for a livelihood and
Pearson does not offer a situation
favorably to them. They have to
go away from home to seek em
ployment to their liking.
Thus when the season for this
amusement should be at its best
the boys are drifting away from
home and those left have not pull
ed themselves in shape to play ball.
The game with Nicbolls Thurs
day afternoon was a fairly good
game. With a score of 10 to 13 in
favor of Nicholls.
The boys blew up and the game
with Willacoochee Tuesday after
noon was too utterly too too. They
got rattled on the start and the
boys from up the road romped all
over them.
Ah. well, they are going to pull
themselves together and play some
good ball yet. See, if they don’t.
