BASE BALL.

The Abbeville Amateur Base
Ball Club having accepted the
challenge Of the Cokesbury Ath-
lete Club, the game came off on
the grounds of the AbbevlIle Club
-on last Friday afternoon. Much
interest had been taken for several
days previous by both the Cokes-
bury and the Abbeville people, and
large numbers from both places had
made preparations to witness the
game. Greenwood and other por-
tions of the District were ALSO we'll
represented. On the three o'clock
train more than a hundred ladies
and gentlemen arrived from Cokes-
bury at our Depot, where: they
found a welcome greeting from
delegations of our people, who had
Ill the available carriages, .buggies
and wagons of the town waiting to
convey them to the field Of the
friendly. contest. By this time all
the places Of business in the town
ot Abbeville had been closed, and
her citizens were assembling en-
masse, and by alfpastthree o'clock
the grove was crowded with spec
tatols.
Atthe meeting of the clubs it
was agreed that Mr.. q. NJ. Hodges
OF the Cokesbury Club, should act
as Umpire. Messrs. II. p. Hodges
and T. P. Quarles were Scorers for
their respective Clubs. Messrs. j..
NJ. Dickson and w. G, Benet, as
Captains. The Abbevillet club
went to the bats first, and in the
presence of the large assembly
each member of the clubs took
the place assigned him, either. in
the field or on the corners. At a
few minutes before 4 o'clock the
game vas. commenced and at the
first inning the Abbeville club
made but two rounds and the
,Cokesbury club made twenty
which gave them prestige and
their efforts were redoubfed. Sec
ond and third inings were much in
favor of the Cokesbury club, and
and at the fourth inning the Able
Vile club were "white-washed," %.
they having failed to make single
ssround." The fifth inning was also
to the disadvantage of the Ahbe-
vile club, but at the sixth ining
Abbeville came out ahead and
played with more spirit and better
effect during the remainder of the
game. 49,. @5 ea. o1om
The whole number of scores
made by the Abbeville club was
fifty-one, while the Cokesbury club
run up the number Of their scores
to eighty-six. In justice to the
Abbevil!e club, we would state that
they have been only recently or
ganized, whilst their opponents
have had much longer practice.
J The large number of scores may
be accounted for, as owing to the
unevenness of the ground, the gul.
lies and the trees. :. .t. r. =. -
Much elated at their victory the
Cokesbury people returned to their
homes, on the extra train which
left here at Z o'clock. . ..-t...- ...
