A most Of our men are still idle they
employ most of their time at glass ball
shooting and base ball playing. and by
far the most interesting game played
here this season was the one on yester-
day. between the Graniteville Browns,
and what was called the Graniteville
Scrub nine, under the captaincy of
Billy Lawrence. The game was full of
interest from first to last. and, although
the Browns were as usual victorious, it
is a fact, nevertheless, that the play
ing of the Scrub team was far in adj
vance of their opponents. The beau
tiful catch of the Scrub mines captain
in center field, and the home run of
Green Snodgrass, created great excite
ment. Among the bleachers as it was
readily seen that they were very en-
thusiastic for the latter's success, yet
they failed to reach the altitude, as will
be seen by the score, u to Il, in favor
of the Browns: umpire, Morrissey:
time of game, two hours and ten min
utes.
