BAeE BALL.--The most interesting
game of base ball ever played in
Winnsboro came off on Tuesday, be-
tween the Kershaws of Kershaw.
and the Dauntless If Wipnsboro, on
tho grounds Of the latter club. In
the morning the players from Cam.
den reached town, accompanied ,by
many Of their friends. The game
was called for 3 O'Clock, but play
did not actually commence until
3 as. Long before this large CON-
course had gathered to witness the
sport, for the 'Boro boys play we'll
and the record Of victories of tile
Kershaws had preceded them. The
Citizens. Cornet Band discoursed
delightful music before and after the
game. ....-
G. j. Mcdowell, Esq., was chosen
Umpire, position which he filed
admirably, and Mesars. Ancrum and
Cummings acted as scorers. The
toss having been won by the Ker.
shaws, the Dauutless wcro sent to the
bat. llucy took his position rs
6rst batsman, and was put out on
three strikes. Crawford nude first
base on three balls but was put. out
while running to second. Campbell
next came to the bat, and three
strikes recorded against him put the
side out without ball being struck.
Tue Kershaws sent r. Cunning.
ham to tho bat. At the delivery
Of the FIRST ball ty Elliott, pitcher
Of tho Dauntless, the point was
raised that he delivered the ball i'm
properly. This mode of delivery
was TN undcrhaDd throw instead of
the long pitch which has heretofore
been in vogue. Discussion ensuel
and Cbadwick's book was referred TO,
which rules as follows:
"The player who delivers the ball
to the bat must d. 50 while witlriu
the lines of the pitchers position,
aud he must remain within them
until the bull has left his hand; and
he shall not make any motion TO
"oANSSAjIDS uaIt W CHc Out "ullt al
part OF, his person is outside the
'ines of tho pitchers position. The
ball NUT be delivered to the bat
with the arm swinging nearly per.
'pendisular at'the side Of the body,
'un'lthe hand swinging forward must
not tc raised higher than the hip
The amendment to this rule lies
in tue addition Of the words ,equir.
ing the hand holding. the ball not to
,be. ruised higher than tho line of tho
hip when the, fqrWard swing Of the
arm is$made to deliver the ball.f 1t
