weather man yesterday and "hied"
themselves on to the ball park to
witness the contest between the Oak
Halls and ocilla, who did Just as they
were advertised-played in the rain.
That the score did not reach way
up in the teens is a mystery to many,
as II would seem well nigh impossible
to keep 1t down under such clrcum-
stances. The many errors made were
not near what we were looking for,
but they were enough.
Watson was placed in the box in
the sixth inning to relieve Sheats. and
it did not take the OciIla bunch long
to get after him. With the errors
made by the locals the Georgians got
in four ugly runs, tieing the score.
