Tired, dusty and defeated, the Man
chester baseball team returned last
night on special car from Peter sburg,
where they had met defeat at the hands
CT the team from the Cockade City. The
score was IL to 6 in favor of the Peters
turg nine.
Three carloads of citizens of Manches-
ter went to Petersburg and saw their
team go down in defeat. This is not all
they saw, for there was some little
knocking about, just to keep things NOV
ing. to wake up rooters. The game was
called at 4:30 o'clock in Old Park, with
apout $50 spectators present Driver,
pitcher for the Manchester team, went
in. the, box and succeeded in striking out
Eanes, the first man to the bat. Then
came Brockwell, a heavy hitter, and the
bail was found some time later in an open
field. Petersburg rooters went wild when
.his strike was made. The game pro-
guessed with uncertainty until the sixth
inning, when by several errors of the
Manchester team and good playing of the
Petersburg team four runs were made.
Manchester rooters began to feel shaky
about this time. Driver was taken out Of
-i1e box and Crostic put in This was in
the seventh. One safe hit was; gotten off
Crostc, but the game was too TAR gone
PRED the game. He is a man of power
full build. Standing out in the diamond
he looked like full grown giant. Adam
Lowry the captain of the Manchester
team, made a mistake when he ques-
toned his veracity. In one decision the
captain did not think his team had been
treated fairly, so he proceeded to tell Mr..
Ford this in words that will not look
we'll in print Specta tors saw stiff
r,nch, and then Mr.. Lowry wiped the
clale ct from his nose. The umpire had
ssruck him.
A PRETTY MARRIAGE.
Miss Ruby Nicks and Mr.. Allie Puck.
eft. of Manchester, were maT~ed last
NJ ght at the residence of the Rev. j. Q.
Babcock of Richmond. Immediately at
ter the ceremony the couple came to the
home of the bride, in this city, where an
elegant reception was rendered them. The
attendants at the marriage were Miss
Lula Jones and Mr.. John Latham. Both
parties are we'll known in Manchester,
where they have resided for many years.
They will make this city their future
i,cnle.
TOWN GROWING.
Mr. w. L. Porter. in taking the per
sonal property list for Manchester this
wear. finds that the city has grown in
population at least three thousand over
last year. This news is certainly graft
tying to the citizens of the thrifty place.
One year ago there were fifty vacant
houses on the hands of the real estate
men; two years ago there were one hun
bred houses wanting tenants: to-day ulere
is not a single one and daily cry for
mere.
