 The rain came down in torrents just as the dinner had been spread on the tables and everybody had gotten their appetites whetted to the keenest edge. Of course to have ones dinner washed right out of his mouth was enough to throw a damper on his enthusiasm, ana it did for it was no small thing to miss such a dinner as the hospitable people or Faunsdale had spread. However, we gathered up the dry scraps that remained and made the best of it. Not a small part of the crowd went over to see the game of ball that was scheduled between Faunsdale and Demopolls, and well were they repaid for their trouble. for they saw one of the best contested games that has ever been seen in this country when the rain began we all thought the game was gone up the spout, but as the grounds were several miles away from the picnic grounds we hung to the hope that it had not rained so hard out there, and such proved true for upon reaching the grounds it was discovered that Il had scarcely sprin<led, and the ground so far as this was concerned, was in per feet condition. though 1t was rather too rolling for the outfieders.
 On account of the rain and also the fact that another tilt was run, open to all in which Mr. Adair of UniontoWn was the winner, the game of ball dld not begin until later than usual It was called by Umpire Leon Schwarz who um- pired one of the best games of his life, at about 4:30 o'clock. Demopois went to the bat and was quickly retired With out getting a man across the ruDpef: Faunsdale then came in for her ha1 and succeeded in getting in two runs. Then both sides broke even on blanks until the first half of the fifth, when, Demopolis having two men on bases, red-headed Welch walked up to the bat, rubbed grirne into his horny hands and corked the second ball that came over for a three-bagger, bringing in two runs, he himself scoring on McRee's single to right field
 Faunsdale got a goose egg in her haif and as Demopolis added four more runs in the first part of the seventh, they were feeling pretty jubilant and it looked as though they had the game in their ln- side pocket, but their faces dropped car length or two when Faunsdale came in and by the aid of an error on the part of Captain Morris, showed three men over the home plate. Neither side scored Tn the eighth and in the ninth Demopolls added one more to her column. Things began to get mighty interesting along here. When Faunsdale came Tn she had three runs to make in order to tie ana four to win Harrison got to first on a hot grounder between first and second; he was advanced to second by Hopson, then each were advanced a base ana Nonnenmacher was at the bat. "Nonny is a terribly hard hitter and the Demopo- lis boys got to trembling in thelr boots, but with two men on bases and two out he hit a little squib fly to Shortstop Co- coran. who nailed 1t and ended the agony The features of the game were the eaten ing of Hobson, the clevereSt amateur De- hind the bat in the state of Alabama, the wonderful catch of the sky-scraplng ny by Mckee and the fine work Of Mlcheal in the box. He is but 16 years old and does not weigh 110 pounds but he mas good speed and such mixing curves as might be looked for in professionals The next game will be at Demopolis on August 6, when Uniontown will cross bats with the home team.
 The score by innings was as follows: Q DemOpoliS ............O . U I-o Faunsdale ..............2 0 0 0 0 0 OO-5
