A LaughabIe Game or Ball.
Without doubt the funniest game OF
base Lali ever played in Columbia, was
that of yesterday afternoon, when ths
Columbia dudes won ball from Il nine OF
Grau's English opera compauy's members
IL was conspicuous OF the numberless
errors, absence of brilliant playa, and tho
desperate attempt of both cir bs
to hit the ball. 1t was iaughable ind, cd,
when alter making four runs the
dudes went into the field. The lett
and right fielders held sunshados over
them TO keep of the sun. The centre
fielder enjoyed the game by laying down
in the hsld, while the short stop used
every endeayor imaginable to get up q
boxing match with the second baseman.
These four players were the life of the
game aud caused most of the fun. The
right fielder hit the ball once, even though
it did go foul, but a better baseman never
played in Columbia. He was safe
runner and would not get off his
of necessity. The centre fielder carried of
the honors Of the day by his heavy slug
ging at the ball. We say at, because he
could not hit IL. Onoo no slugged go hard
that he turned single somersault, aut
tempted to stand on his head. The
crowd yelled at every bad play, and were
quiet when applause was deserved-they
wsie yelling all the time. The score, b,
Innings, is ss follows:
