THIS SEASON

The glorious Fourth dswned gloomy and
dim.l. threatening rain every minute
u N IL did not deter large crowd from
hrdiue the train for Union Ciiy, TO witt
"a. the great match game between the
4 1s.r I,lue sox Of Hickman, and the Sic
ola Of Union City.
rbs TyIers won the game easily in min e
Injngs, the score standing twenty-eight
t.isteeo. Our boys out played them st
sery point, and would have beat them
Nrss, had they been accustomed to the
goand.
Tss field although appearing smooth,
Iw.sresgh aud uneven. In the arst in>
uiass the Siesels made six runs, batting
II heir balls along the ground; this puz-
isd oar boys, but just as soon as they
70. onto the "ricoehct" style, IL was
sRaty" with U. C. Jim Stevens is a
laisy at the bat, and runs like g quarter
iotse, he made two clean hits for home
f'ias. and scored them both. Hardy Will
seh is q safe batter, and always brings
his nan ia.-@Hsr pia, ed censsr. Lush
Colo paced around the ba sis fve times
hsking the best batting average OF the
DAT. Cole 10 sure man At short. Wal
lace kept his arm going all day like the
Pendsium OF a clock. he is very regular,
and Is going to make good pitcher
Judgment" MAXWELL held his position
behind the bat, and worked TO the queens
taste; he is very tricky player, and the
oiher side must keep their eyes open.
Chaser and the Alligaiors "got there"
every time, he freezes to q bali like grim
Heath TO = dead niger.
Berendes-welll he jur holds that
second base down too sweet to talk about,
.nd no one around these parts can learn
him any thing about base ball. Wiiburn
specially in backing up frst.
Evet,s played third to every ody's
ikiRg; Whenever he went to the bat he
ronld paste ball nearly into town. and,
he fielder used fast horse to catch il So.
IS not TO delay the game. Thi, is lie OF
course. but we won't change q decision
io en- now.
Some ''smart Alscks' in tbs Gro wd
guy ed the Umpire on every occasion,
aud made themselves very disagreeable,
Of course we cannot condemn the entire
,rowd Tor the impOliteness OF few yam
aROes. The Siesels should learn 10 play
ball better and kick less; they will fad II
hard 20 secure the same Umpire in any
future games. They mistreaied the Um<
pirs, until At the end OF the fifth innings
he jumped the game; then they begged
him TO continue and promised - behave.
Boys study politsness TO visitors.
unien City did not bet much on their
ciah, our boys looked too much like bal
players in their neat uniforms.
Atthe end Of the game our boys were
with = handsome floral trophy
BY Mss.Mary Roulhac, with the compli'
msnts Of the ladies Of Union City. Our I
Nine IL big eaters consisting OF Tim Wal
ton, Dick Moore, Czttlet Johnson, Tom ]
Dilioa, Jesse Lynn, Dabney Sheriff. aud 7
sevsra others, were out in fun force
rhey aere very handsomely entertained
nv Mira s.hs lynn. This Was the FIRST
SQUARE meal some OF them had tackle for 4
months.
SslIrk umpired the game. and every
time be opened his mouth, thousand
people, kicked; so likewise. did The two
U. &. referees.
They don't understand the game Mt
Union City, and IL would be the proper
c,psr for them 10 take up subscription,
aad send Que mAn of to see n few profess
sisnal games plsyed.
Tbe crowd gathered around and OBJ"
arueted the catcher on every occasion
Ehst Union lacks Is ''culchaw. Our
reporter noticed many bright aud pretty /
faces at the match. Union city cant
plaJ ball. bat they can show great many
hAHls0me ladies.
