the score being 10 to 10 in their favor.

Of the rain they were disappointed. The

The Lees left home on Saturday evening
by the Mississippi Valley Route for their
games with Vicksbure. Monroe and Shreve-
port. They we're much fatigued by long
wait for the delayed train at Burnside Sta
ton, but, getting off, arrived in Vicksburg
safely, where they played the Darlings on
Sunday evening, the game resulting in a
victory for our boys by close score of 6
to s, as follows:
Lees, Q o o Is
Darlings. ....-..-....O o 0 90 2 / SIS
Up to the sixth inning the darlinRs had
made no runs, but, being at the bat, one of
their players, PM, brought two men in on
clear three base hit.
On Monday the Darlings, were strength
ened by change Of three OF their
men, without any benefit, however, to
themselves, At the close of the third in
ming, wnen heavy rain stopped this 9 ame,
the score stood: Lees, IL; Darlings, 4.
On Tuesday came the greatest tug of war
when the Lees tackled the Reds, picked
nine from the Darlings and Nationals, and
by far the strongest team that could have
been raised in vicksburg. The score, being
interrupted by darkness at the end of the
eighth inning, stood:
Lees, Q % as
Reds, ...........-.--~-D 2 2 2 o o u-6
The series vas witnessed by quite large
crowds who evinced the greatest interest in
the games. The Lees share of the gate re-
ceipts of the first day was almost sufi-
cient to pay the expenses.
Leaving Vicksburg on the 4th inst, they
went to Monroe playing there on Thursday
evening and defeating their opponents.
