BASE BALL.
The Eclipse has signed several new
men on their team, two comes from
across the "Jeems." Their fielding
averages so far has been exceedingly
good in fact their playing in general,
has been fair, but ah their batting is
way below the average. BY the acqui-
sition of the new players it is hoped
generally that the team will resume
j is good playing as when they first
started. Two games are billed to be
played at West End Park on the 18th
and 18th, and should they fail to win,
they will lose the prestige they once
enjoyed.
The largest excursion that has been
given this year left the city Monday
enroute to Hampton and Old Point.
1t was given under the auspices of the
Lily OF the Valley Association, a club
composed chiefly of young men of this
section. Fourteen coaches, we'll pack
ed were carried and many more were
needed TO accommodate the crowd who
| gathered at the q. * 0. Depot, but they
could not be secured (: and the result
was that hundreds were left at the de-
pot as were many of the way passen-
gers along the road. The Association
thanks their many friends who pat
ronized them.
