RLAcKv1LIE MEETS WITH DEFEAT.
The Black7ille base ball team may be
very warm, but the Bamberg team is
something hot. 1t was no more than was
expected when Blackville put up good
game on last Wednesday because they
always have good team. But even with
this Strong team they were not able to
out do the Bamberg boys. Blackville
sent down large delegation of rooters
and they also turned out to be good, earn
est sympathizers. They happened to be
on the wrong side and had few chances
for showing their enthusiasm. Bamberg
Gained big lead of FIVE runs in their hall
of the first inning, from which hanolcap
the Blackville boys never were able TO
get from under. Boylston began the
twirling for Blackville, and was an easy
mark for the home team. He was taken
out after the first inning. Strooel was
substituted in his place and pitched a
GOOD game, allowing Bamberg to score
0nly three times. Brabham A. and q.
did good battery work Hoffman played
a Good second, and Moye did the same at
first. Bamberg H. made beautiful catch
in center, cutting off hit; his backing
of second base was fine. Brabham '.
covered the short field in fine shape, hay,
inc fonr chances and accepting them all
without an error. The batting OF the
Bamberg boys was heavy and timely
getting hits just when needed. Inc game
Was called at the end of the eight inning
Brabham c. sutained an injury when
forced him from the game; besides this
darkness came on, and the game was
given to Bamberg by score OF elght 10
four. Score by innings: Q

dition of the Association, the games can

score of fifteen to six. The Branchvill
BOYS did not play together" at any tim
of the game Bamberg, as usual, made
lead in the first inning, pushing thre
men across home plate before the Branch
Vile team was conscious OF what wa
happening. Branchville scored in onl,
two innings. making one in the secon'
and five in the seventh. The game wa
not fast and was rather disappointment

counts for the result. Score by inning:
