The regular league season OF the
Cotton States League for 1903, is now
in full blast and the games played
during last week point to brilliant
and successful season. The League

The game at vicksburg last Sunday

innings resulted in Greenville's favor
by score of 4 to 2.
The 2 home runs by Lipe won the
