Ninety-Six was two ahead. The Greenwood
boys deserve unlimiated praise and credit for
their brave defense of the old record OF
Greenwood. With their pitcher sick, and one
stituLed with some one else. and profession

achievement Of these fresh laurels deserves
the highestI praise. Words are not too ex-
pressive TO meet this demand. Nobly did
