A GAME of base ball, so called,
was played in the suburbs of this
city Saturday between IL nIne, from
Hopkinsville and the GAINESVILLE
Club. The game Was thrown up
at the end of the 9th inning, with IL
score of 40 for GAINESVILLE and
16 for Hopkinsville. This indicates
such bad playing on both
sides that no especial honor rests
with the victorS. We Iearn that it
is to be tried again at Guthrie and
we recommend both clubs to prac-
tice before they again exhibit their
proves in a match game.
