A game OF base ball between the
Tyler club of this city and the Aliens
vile club, was played at Guthrie Satur-
day afternoon.
At the end of the eighth inning the
score stood twelve to eleven in favor
of the Tylers, who then insisted on
calling the game on account of the APP
preaching darkness. But the umpire
thought the daylight would last long
enough for another inning and called.
@man to the bait" Mr.. Elisha Beech
who was acting as captain of the
GAINESVILLE nine refused to observe the
order and the man whose time it was
to strike did not do so. But some of
the GAINESVILLE boys did go to the bat,
and three OF them were caught out be-
fore another score was made. 1t was
then about seven o'clock and the Ty-
lers absolutely refused to take the
field and the umpire decided the game
against them.
1t is claimed by some who are
learned in base ball lore that the game
should have been decided according to
the score at the end of the 9th inning.
This would have given the Tylers the
game.
The Tyler's did much worse playing
than usual and were at disadvantage
ON account OF the character of the
ground. They are accustomed to bat
ting grounders and the field was so
rough that the balls came to a dead
stop as soon as they struck the earth,
no matter how hard they were hit.
Mr.. Jim Neiley, the pitcher of the
Tyler club, had one of his fingers badly
split SO that he could not do very eff
ective work. As it was, the Aliens
ville's didn't catch ON to his delivery
very we'll, but the umpire gave a large
number of them first base on balls.
Mr.. ScovilIe. of the Tylers, who
would have caught behind the last
half-of the game, had been sick the
night beforean was not sufficientlyre-
covered to undertake the catchers'
duty. The Tylers were also deprived
of one of their best players, Reyn. Ros.
sington, who couldn't get off from his
work, and had to substitute an unprac-
ticed man in his pllce.

THE BIG BARBECUE TO BE STILL BIG

bigger thing than was at first intended
and TO include the people living along
the line Of the Elkton and Guthrie
railroad a. well as those who reside In
the vicinity Of the T. a. & T.R.R.
This conclusion was reached, at the
meeting at the Tobacco Exchange last
Friday night GAINESVILLE never does
anything by halves and the contribu-
tons to the fund for the entertain
ment had been SO free and so large
that the managers at once determined
to increase the proportions of the
barbecue and tobacco sale and invite
our friends from Todd county to par
ticipate in both.
1t became necessary, of course, to
secure more extensive grounds where
in to spread the dinner. than the yard
OF the Tobacco Exchange, as was orig
inally proposed, and the beautiful
grove of the Female Academy was
agreed upon.
Other attractions have been added
to the programme Of the days iestivi-
ties. There will be steamboat ex-
cursion on the Cumberland river and
the Fire Department will give their
annual parade that day. In addition
to all this there will be a ball at the
Tobacco Exchange at night
Editors of newspapers published in
various towns of Kentucky and Ten
nessee will be invited to be present,
and large number of them will no
doubt attend.
1t is going to be gala occasion, as
we observed before, red letter day in
the history OF GAINESVILLE, and every
man, woman and child in the city is
expected to do something to make the
town show up 10 advantage and add to
the enjoyment of our guests.
