BASE BALL.
i Closely Played Game at
Lake City.

6oNS wy
The Kingstreee base ball club
played the Lake City team on
the latter's grounds last Friday
afternoon. Our boys welt up
to Lake City Friday morning and
attended the picnic, and the game
took place n ear The picnic grounds.
Lake City was successful, but up
to the ninth inning it was any
bedy's game. While there was
some good playing done BY both
clubs, the whole game was very
"tame." the "kicking" done by
both sides at the decisions of The
umpire was simply disgracefuI
and disgusting. When the Lake
City team comes here to play
our boys We sincerely hope that
no such wrangling as was seen
on the Lake City grounds last
Friday will be INDUCED in. Both
clubs showed the lack of team
practice. Gilland, of the Kings
tree nine, did some fine pitching,
striking out more men than the
other three pitchers all together.
Askins pitched the first three
innings for Nngstree and Gilland
the other six. During the first
three innings the Lake Cfty team
scored ten runs, while they made
only seven during the last six.
Nj. Epps led out in the box for
Lake City, but. as our club
scored six runs the first inning
Webster was substituted in the
second and held the men pretty
we'll down. though the Kingstree
men made four runs in the fifth
'inning.
The makeup Of the teams was
as follows: Lake City: Taylor,
Epps, G., Kelley, Morris, Webster,
Rodgers, Epps, j., Carsten and
Epps, NJ; Kingstree: Moore,
.Elwell, Brown, Jacobs, N. Jacobs,
D., Askins. Arms, Gilland and
MeClary.

ceived. The melon weighed just
264 pounds, and is a large one for
this season.

one seems to thiak that because
his or her amount is small it does
not matter whether it is paid or
not, but if every one should pay
justa quarter it would amount to
