BASE BALL.
wo Great Games Between Mari
 anna and Forrest City.

hV 4udi ldiiild lDNliclDitS arrived on schedule time Tuesday morning 10 cross bats with Forrest City's crack base ball team.
 The weather was fine. and interest was on the increase from the moment the visitors landed until the last ball was thrown.
 By 2:30 Tuesday afternoon the roads To the grounds began to get busy ac- commodating d long line of pedes- trians. carriages and horSemen. The crowd was large. about S5O being taken in al the gates, and about the same number of skiddoos enjoying the game from the outside.
 Considerable trouble was experienc- ed Tn tnding man to suit the visitors for an umpire. They objected to Bra dy and Dickerson, either of whom are competent to till the position. and would have done so honorably and inn partially. and finally settled on Jack Barrow, who, il is said. did the best he could under the circumstances and though he gave the game to Marian ma, he no doubt did so unwittinply. several decisions which the spectators roared about were calling Gillian out at third, when to a certainty he was safe, and would have scored on safe hit by Simmons which followed: another, calling visitor safe al third when he ran out of the line to avoid the baseman who held tine sphere: third was scoring a visitor who hasn't touched the home plate vet: and fourth calling Simmons out at first when the baSeman did not have his foot on the bag. These four principal decisions beat Forrest City. The game was tied=5 to 5-at the close of the ninth. Mariana scored two runs in the tenth. and Forrest City went to pieces. and got goose egg.
 The game opened with Marianna at the bat. Mallon Fobre in the box and Chas. Mcdaniel backstop. Folbre was wild, and the first man up walked. and scored. though they went down and out l, ,, ,, when Pat go1 line on them, and toward the last of the game his work was as fine as they make it.
 In the first inning Marianna scored on a safe hit by Austelle. and the side then went down I, }, 3.
 Forrest City put Gillian up, and he hit safe 10 first. reached second while O Brien famed out, and on Havens' safe hit was advanced to third: Hav- ems stole second. Gillian scored, Nc Daniel reached first, and others ad- vanced, when Simmons hit the pretti- ed up the bases.
 After this there was nothing doing for the locals until the 1th. when Gil- liam scored.
 In the second Mariana got a chance and made four runs so quick that our reporter don't know yet how it was done. There was a couple of stolen bases, a couple of safe hits, an error or two, tumble and four runs. and then Forrest City recovered and put 'em down l, ,, 3. i Marianna then scored seven straight goose eggs In the tenth. the visitors | played desperate ball. and succeeded in putting two men over the home plate. Excitement ran high. and For rest City went To pieces, scoring a goose egg.
 This ended d game that would have i been equal 10 league game, if ii had been properly umpired.
 The score by innings was as follows: lnninps ...z.l , t lo Total Marianne ! q q c Forrest Cits.4 c 0 6 c l c 5
