The Reds aud PIuRs.


The match game OF base ball In Knox
Vile last Saturday between the Plugs
Of this city, and the Reds of Knoxville,
resulted In a victory for the Reds by a
score of Is to 10. The followingis the
score by innings;
Innings 1890 l234567s9
Reds, 1900 $500 4 4-lS
Plugs, $1,000 ] l0l4O4l 4-l6
The following are the tallics:
Reds-Hunt, ,; McMilln, 4; Roth,
3; Condor, 2; Houck, 2; Sneed, Z;
Compton, !.
Plugs-Cate, 4; Montgomery, 3; Ro-
gers, 3; Burgess, /; Ramsey, ,; Hard
wick, 2; Cottrell, /.
Though the score run up rather high
this Is to be accounted for by the game
being played with a olive" ball. The
game was interesting throughout, and
both clubs done all in their power. The
Reds did excellent catching and poor
batting, vile the Plugs did worse catch
ing than we ever befOIe knew them TO
do, but their batting was excellent.
10 uardwick and VIII Cate, who have
always been counted as SURE catches,
failed on several balls, but they made
it up when they came to the bat.
The game was witnessed by a large
crowd. The Plugs were handsomely
entertained at Hotel de Lamar by the
Reds, and everything passed of pleas
antly.
1t is understood that the Plugs will
shortly challenge the Reds to play a
game in Cleveland.

The condition of crop is somewhat
better than in August 1877. In the
Northern portion of the cotton belt,
many counties complain Of the "cX.
IRENE drought, causing the plants to
shed and the bolls to open prema-
turely. Further south the rain fall
has been excessive, causing rust. III
sect injuries at date of correspon-
dence were inconsiderable, but later
reports to Prof. Riley, the etomolo-
gist, show a considerable injury from
this source.
