Personal and General.

When the Bessemer Beavers left here on last Monday to go to Demopolis and play the Demopolis baseball team, every one predicted that they would at least take two out of the three games played
 Imagine, therefore, the disappointment felt by their friends when 1t became known that the Demopolis team won the first game by a score of F 10 0, and the second one by the score of II to 0. Not content with losing games of that sore, they moved on to Union town and there they were beaten by a score of 10 to 2 Mighty bad to relate but it certainly happened. When the people of this city found out that the pride of their baseball heart had gone where the woodbno twineth, and the wang doodle mourneth for its young, they were indeed made sad. and on every hand expressions of pisy can be heard for the players The Bea- vers have a good team and can play ball. when they try. but from the above 1t Is quite evident that the ball was being de- llvered in this fade away style by the opposing pitchers, because even the Bir- mingham team could have done better than that.
