That was the cry heard at In
diantown last Friday, from the
throats of about fifty Kingstree
base ball enthusiasts, all wearing
The team colors, yellow and black
But Indiantown walioped us. II
was a good game, but our boys
got wild in the fourth inning and
the 1ndiantown team outplayed
them. In all it was good game,
Both sides played we'll and the
game was close throughout, a.
will be seen by the score.
A good1y crowd of ladies and
gentlemen accompanied the
Kingstree team to IEdiantown and
were treated royalty by the folks
out there. A picnic had been
arranged and a large crowd was
present.
The game was called at 4
o'clock by Mr.. Louis Stackly, who
umpired in way that won en-
cemiums from every one. Close
decisions were made with salts
faction to both clubs. Phere was
lots of cheering and an immense
amount Of "rootlhs." The friends
of both teams tried to make more
noise than their opponents, and
il is hard 10 say which made the
greater amount. The ''rooting''
was not confined alone to the boys
and young men, but the ladies
and girls, and even the older peo
pie, all Joined in. All the "root
ing" was done in q good-natured
way, and everyone was in a jolly
good humor. No one got angry
ms is done at some places, but all
rather enjoyed the fun.
The lnd!antown team is by
long odds the best that Kingstree
has tackled this season. 1t put
up a better game Friday than it
did here. Daniels pitching was
more effective, and he was much
better supported. Gillaud pitch
ed an unuaslly good game, but
received poor support on the field.
The kingstree boys are feeling
pretty sore over their defeat,
which is the second OF the season,
and promises to win the game
next Tuesday which will decide
Ethe championship OF the county.
Here is the score Of last Fridays
game bv innings:

A large crowd will so down with
| the boys Tuesday and will "whoop
'em up for them.
On Tuesday our boys played
the Ok Swamp team on the home
grounds. 1t was a regular slug.
ging match, both sides doing some
heavy batting. The field work Of
the visitors was very good, but
Kingstree won the game easily.
Fleming and H. p. Brown pitched
for Ok Swamp and Gilland foa
Kingstree. Towards the last ol
the game Gillapd got down 10

game, while Fleming gave six, and
only struck out two.
