nothing. On the third inning the Pion-

gan with a heavy wind and the Due
West club was compelled to yield. to
the call of the game by the umpire Will,
half o: their 9Th inning unplayrd ana It
couple Of mon on the bases. After,
perhaps, q Of an hour the boys went
back and and though the ground
was wet and muddy, the game being in
such a condition It could no he counted
the desire was expressed especially by
the Due West club that the 9th inning
be played ont. With this intention the
game was resumed and Due West fin
ished her 9th inning, the game standing,
Due West 6, Anderson Z. The 9th in
ming was entered upon and Anderson
made several scores. The rain WAS now
coming down so hard that the ball could
not be held. Though it was no! legal to
count part Of aganc. if under 5 innings,
The two sides had however agreed to
play the game ont or until it %rainctl, and
the score was to be counted on the last
even inning. Rain ~intcrrupting again,
the game VAS called on the 5;h inning
in favor Of Anderson by Il score of Z to
q. AS is always the case whcna rain in
tcrrupts Il game, 1t WAS not entirely salts
factory to either club but was strictly
according to agreement and Was Justly
credited to the Anderson nine. The
truth OF the business was our nine did
not appear to advantage in these 5 i'll
nlngS excepted at the close when they
were catching up. The Anderson nine
however playeda beautiful game. That
evening after the game, the home. club
took their guests to the handsome Drug
Store Of McSsrS. Orr e Sloan where is
as beautiful Il Soda Fountain as Won CIV
or laid your yes on and served the
