 About 1000 people witnessed the first game at Riverside Park this afternoon. largo number of the elect ot selma turned out in elegant carria ges and witnessed the game from their vehicles While the grand stand was fairly filled with the beautiful young la. dies of this city. The bleechers stand was packed with an enthusiastic crowd.
 Auburn coiors were worn conspicuous among the ladies in carriages and the bleachers was evidently with Auburn: but a majority of these in the grand stand were with the University But when it came to playing ball Auburn was not in it with the Tuscaloosa boys. In the first inning Auburn made two runs. but after that the Tuscaloosa boys shut her out and won the game by score of 19 to ?. All lovers of baseball here regret that the game was not close as 1t should have a depressing effect on the crowd that will turn out to the two games tomorrow. The outfield was very wet and slippery where the river had been over it and made it difficult for the players to catch flies.
