Our Boys at Lawrenceburg.

The L. D. McCord base ball club
left here last Friday morning for
Lawrenceburg, where they had ar
ranged TO play game of base ball
with the Lawrenceburg club. Hav-
ing gotten an early start we arrived
in that town before the heat of the
day, and were very cordially re-
ceived and welcomed by the Law
renceburg boys. Capt. Stewart, to
whom we are indebted for many
courtesies shown, received us at the
Commercial Hotel, where every at
tention was given by the accommo
dating proprietor to render us com
Portable. We were treated through
out with the utmost hospitality and
politeness, such alone as the good
people of Lawrenceburg are prof
cient in. The McCords wore a
badge of blue ribbon on their hats
and printed thereon was L. d. Nc
Cord, and the Lawrenceburg club,
after we arrived, changed their
name from the Blackberry B. B.
c." to the u. B. Murphy B. B. Co."
and wore upon their hats a badge of
yellow ribbon, and printed thereon
was the name of their distinguished
candidate for Attorney General.
The game was called at o'clock.
The McCords won the toss, sending
the Murphys to the bat who came
out s0hitel0ashed. The McCords com
fng in to the bat took the bulge at
once, retaining and increasing the
advantage they had gained to the
end. The Murphys were unable to
bat SummerhilPs pitching, while
the McCords batted the Murphy
balls all over the field, very much
to the discontinue of the Murphy
felders who were generally mot
there" when the ball reached the
ground.
The Murphys are young men of
fine appearance and agility, but
have not had the training the Nc
Cords have, and were unable to
cope with them in the field. Their
defeat will serve to make them re
double their pains, and we may yet
hear from them to their credit. The
McCords worked admirably, max
ing a great many fine plays and few
errors. Some of the Murphys, we
imagine, never played a great deal
before and were not very CONVEX
SAINT with base ball usages, for it
was amusing to us to hear . certain
always calling, when at the
bat, for a "SLoW' ball. The score |
stood, McCords 80, Murphys 10.
A great deal of interest was taken
in the match, and an immense |
crowd of spectators was present. in
many of the fair sex. We
noticed several faces familiar to |
Pulaski in the crowd, among whom
were Maj. Bate, David Rose, John
Kennedy, DR.. Spotswood and 9th
ers. Among the ladies who were |
here were the beautiful and fasci-
hating Miss NJ. N, the bright-eyed,
charming Miss j. ID. who by her
smiles and words of appreciation
showed herself to be st least willing
hat the McCords should win, the
popular Miss S., and one of Colum
bias fairest daughters, Miss L
and there was the accomplished |
md lovely beauty, Miss N. S. of
Cincinnati, who is visiting rela-
ives in Lawrenceburg, of whom l
will say, and but utter the senti-
nents of all who met her,
ga man had given all other bliss,
And all his worldly worth for this,
To waste his whole heart in one kiss
Upon those perfect lips"
We returned to Pulaski perfectly |
charmed with Lawrenceburg and
Ter people, and hope at an early
late to meet the Murphys in Pu
ask, when we will try and return
% them many of the courtesies
shown us while there. A.
