AGOOD GAME.

a good game of ball furnishes as
much enjoyment to players and spec
tators as anything i'll the whole
range of athletic sports. A grand
stand full Of appreciative spectators,
with squads of rooterS here and there
under neighboring trees, a small score,
few errors and snappy plays, would be
enough to give safety to the most
ardent base bali enthusiast.
Now this was the state of affairs
last Thursday evening. At $3.50
the game was called between the
Stonega and the Big Stone Gap boys.
The day was propitious, the boys on
the opposing team were a gentleman
ly lot, and the diamond, newly work
ed over, was a delight. Everything
conspired to make the game one of
the best, if not the best, played on
this diamond this season.
That the Big Stone Gap boys did
not make as many runs as the Ston-
ega boys. by two, is of small conse-
quence, when the score of five to sew
en-, the smallest of the season, is con-
sidered. Our boys say that they
would rather be beaten with that
score than to win with twenty-five to
five, or fifteen to ten.
Both teams seemed to think, before

Our boys played Pennington Gap last
Saturday at 2:3O p. m. and beat them IL

very good hall, yet the game was exceed
ingly pleasant from the fact that il was
played without rowdyism or squabbling or
any Kicking. Billy Gish is quick to see
the Justice of his opponents claim and
yields gracefully. The Pennington boys
are fine lot.

engaged as census enumerators be-
cause of the order received from
Washington to the effect that they
would not be paid until their port

require some time, so that they will
probably not receive the money due
them until some time in September.
