The Tallulah and Providence boys
played q game of ball on Tuesday,
which resulted in victory for Provi.
dence. We should say the Vicksburg
ball tossers played the game, 40 Provi-
dence had three plays, pitcher, catcher
and short-stop, and the Tallulah club
had the came, so it was really Vicks-
burg against Vicksburg, who were
real ball plays and who did the work.
The players from Tallulah are fine
set of young men, every one of whom
are perfect gentlemen. The Vicks-
burp boys are alec excellent young
men, some of them being the sons OF
the leading citizens Of that city.
