Correspondence OF the Beaeon.l
The game Of ball between Bryantown
and MeehanicsvIlle Friday last on the
grounds II the latter was intensely in
teresting and close 10 the finish. and re-
suited in victory for Bryansown By /.
score Of 70 g. Never was game more
in doubt and uncertain than was this
one, for when the Mechanicsyille boys
went 10 the bat al the end OF the ninth
inning the score was TOT. Then came
a run, two men out with man on third
base, needing only a single to tie the
score; bat 1.-THE single ftey tonscd for necer
canse." for the next man up bafted 70
short and was thrown out While the
game went TO Bryantown there are sew
eral disinterested players. some of which
have umpired games. who are Of the
opinion the score should have been 6 to
5 in favor of MechauicsyiIIe, as an an
fortunate decision allowed Bryantown
her FIRST two runs. The decision refer
red 20 occurred about the list half of the
Bird innings, with Bryantown at the bat.
Two men had batted safely and were on
ist and Bird bases respectively, then came
a lorg drive by Bird base. which, from
the umpire's position, looked fair, and
was called IS such, bringing in two runs,
while 70 those standing ON line from
home TO srd base il seemed foul, caus-
ing the difference in opinions a. well as
score. II is useless to attempt singing
out good players on either side, for they
all played good ball. and deserve credit
for putting mp one of the prettiest games
ever played in Southern Maryland, and
at no time during the game was there
the slightest unpleasantness, as all seem
ed to enterin the game as they should
have done in friendly and gentleman
ly manner. Denton Higgs pitched the
entire game for Mechanicsyille and fin
ished in as fine form as he started.
Messrs. Edelen Bros. pitched for Bryan
town and were effective.
Play ball, boys, for all there Is in you.
and continue 10 remember, although
your suit may change your appearance,
your words and actions are judged just
the same, ana that energy, gentlemanly
conduct and good fellowship will con-
tinue to make baseball success.

La Plata Wins From Charlotte Hall
Correspondence of the Beacon.)

The La Plata B. B. team visited Char
lotte Hall on Saturday last and PLAYED
the Charlotte Hall boys one of the most
exciting games of the season. Notwith-
standing the absence of two of the Char
loite Halls best players, they rut MP
splendid game, and made il manifest to
every impartial judge that they had the
best team in s. Maryland. The score
was close throughout, and but for three
adverse and questionable decisions OF
Umpire Jenkins, one ON LIST base and two
ON 3rd, the game would have ended In
favor Of Charlotte Hall by a score 10 to
8 instead OF II TO 10in favor of La Plata.
IL was in consequence of these appar.
emily unfair decision that Mr.. Stanley
Harrison was provoked 20 address some
rude language 10 Umpire jenkins. which
came near precipitating a fight. We
feel sure that Mr. Harrison regrets the
incident, and nothing but a conviction
that he was being wronged could induce
him to use harsh language TO anyone.
We trust that the unfortunate occurrence
will be dropped, and that the two best
teams in the league will continue 10
play on friendly terms.
The game was witnessed by large
crowd from Charles and st. Mary's.

The Lsonardtown Kinsale Game.

The Kinsale team reached Leonard
town Wednesday of last week during
the rain. The two teams went To the
field and game was started. At the
end of the 4th inning the score stood
Kinsale 4; Leonardtown, 1. II was rain
ing so hard the game could not proceed
and was called.
Thursday was fair and a large crowd
assembled to witness the game. The
Kinsale boys were first To bat and failed
To score. In their half Leonardtown
made one run, Knott scoring on single
by Trenchard. In the second inning
kinsale went out i'm I, 2, Border. their
batters failing to connect with NJ Dents
pitching LeOnardtown scored in the
Bird, 4.h aud 9Th innings, while Kinsalc
kept up TO the end its record OF o. In
the Sth inning, our boys made 4 runs.
The features of the game were Dents
and Newsome's pitching. ~the catching
of Trenchard and Lewis, the first base
work of Knott and the fancy catch of
Atwell's high fly in the 9Th by Jones.
Hogan also made fine fly catch. West
colt relieved Dent in the 9Th and did
good pitching until the end of the game.
Daniel Combs was umpire and the WISH
tors had never an occasion To complain
of his decisions. Trenchard behind the
hat is a tower of strength and holds
anything that comes his way that il pos
sible To- reach. From start to finish tAe
game was interesting and the visiting
| club was SO clever and agreeable that il
won and deserved the applause of the
spectators irrespective of sympathies.

A coloreds:Man Expresses His Apprecia.
tion of the Educational Advantages
Enjoyed by his Race in This City.

To the Editor of the Sumter Daily
Item: Will yuo please permit little
space in your paper to say to the white
people of this city and county that the
colored people are not unmindful in
the interest that they have shown to-
wards helping the better class of color
ed people in the work Of education,
especially in this city, by appointing
good teachers, we'll qualified for the
positions they occupy, and which was
clearly shown in the closing exercises
of the Lincoln Graded School on Friday
night last. Since the organization of
the Graded School we have been espe-
cially favored with good teachers, and
all have been well paid, I believe, as
have heard no complaints-only some
of the teachers think that they
should have larger salaries. But |
think the patrons are we'll pleased
with the system. I remember the time
when the revenue of the city for school
purposes was not sufficient to run the
school nine months, and that our
white friends went into their pockets,
and out of their private purses made
up the deficiency until the taxes were
sufficient to run both schools alike.
I think I speak the sentiment of the
patrons Of this school that we highly
appreciate all these things, and only
hope that the young people who grad
uate from this school will SO conduct
themselves that they will not bring
disgrace upon themselves or the regret
of our white friends who have stuck
by US at all times to make US bet
ter people by their money, good advice
and favored US with their presence at
our examinations and commencements
We also thank the newspapers for
the good sentiment that they have
helped to bring about between the two
races. Yours for right,
N. II. Fields.
