On the Diamond.
The Ocalns and the "t''s Rs" met
on The diamond Friday afternoon, and
for several innings gave the large au-
dIehce present an imitation of real
ball game. The Ocalas proved too
much for their opponents, and after
the iifth inning the game was all one
way. The score at the finish Of the
ninth inning was - to 8 in favor of
the Ocalas. Walter Hawkins acted as
umpire.
Tuesday afternoon the Ocalas and a
nine made up of the employees of the
various railroads, the Southern Ex-
press company, and several young
Anthonyites, met and crossed bats at
the ball park, but, as in the game of
Friday, the other side wasn't in it, the
score being IL to 3 in favor of the
Ocalas. Jake GerIg umpired this
game, while S. s. Burlingame acted as
official scorer.
A move is now on foot among our
base ball players to organize and build
handsome ball park, and 20 this end
the managers of the association which
was organized last Friday evening, are
receiving subscriptions, and as soon as
sufficient funds have been raised the
park will be selected and put in shape.
In connection with this it is also pro-
posed to have bicycle path. Stock
will be issued at so share, and as
only about fifty shares are necessary,
it is safe to say it will not he many
weeks before Ocaia will have as fire
bicycle track and ball park as can be
found anywhere in the state. Mr.. &.
II. Campbell is at the head of the en-
terprise, which means success.
