CoLUMBIA, July 26.--Sam Fields cele-
brated Reading club was thorough Y surprised
last Saturday afternoon. They came to
Columbia to "do up" the Columbia nine but
their intentions were not equal to the occasion
and they themselves were done up; in fact
they were nearly squeched.
The home club began the game by batting
Johnson for five runs, one of which was
earned. Three more runs were added in the
third inning. In the ninth the home club
donned their batting clothes and increased
their score by four runs three earned.
The visitors could do nothing with Kings
curves, even though in the eighth inning
they scored four runs None OF them were
earned and were made by q base ON balls
Fosters costly error at third, three singles
and Davis slow playing in centre
Royen, first baseman for the visitors, gave
an exhibition of kicking" and every close
decision OF the umpire was questioned, much
TO the disgust of both clubs and the fair-sized
audience present The following tells the
tale:

Hereafter tor all games played by the Co
lumbia club on their grounds an admission
of % and Il cents will be charged. Manager
Bear has several hundred dollars invested in
the club and grounds, and this with the fact
that in several instances his guarantee has
exceeded his receipts, makes his action COM
pulsory. His alternative, should he not re-
ceve the support he deserves, will be to play
games in Lancaster, as he had a liberal offer
made him for his nine by parties in that city.
The Christianas Will try to win a ball from
the Columbia tomorrow afternoon.
