A GREAT BALL GAME.

Wednesday afternoon our base
ball term lined up for a battle
royal with the Famous Cherokee
Indian Club and Notwithstanding
the fact that three of our best
players were absent, our boys
tied the Redskins to the end of
the eleventh inning, when the
game Was called in order that
both teams could get in shape
for the night game, the score
being %.
1t was a good game in which
numerous fancy players on
both sides kept the large crowd
of fans delightfully."- entertained
The night game was called at
$3.50, the time up of both teams
being practically unchanged.
This game aside from being a de-
cided novelty, was not so inter
esting but the prospect offered
brought out a larger crowd than
has attended a ball game in this
city in many years, the grand.
stand being filled with ladies.
The Indians had the locals
bested in the beginning of this
game, by reason of visitors fa-
mlliarity with the unusual con-
ditions, but our boys soon caught
on and early put a stop to the
easy going of the Reds; not,
however. until the score stood g.
4 in favor of the visitors remain
ing unchanged to the end of the
game. The Cherokees are full
bloods and half breeds. some OF
whom are, or have been Carlisle
students.
They 10 in number left Chica-
go May and will complete a
tour of eight or nine southern
states by October lst. While
here the team was under the
management of Mrs. Figgs, Col
Figgs being in advance of the
team.
The home team deserves all
the nice things that are being
said about 1t. These express
sions verify the prediction made
early in the season. viz. that ii
the people of Starkville would
turn out to see a good game OF
ball on our diamond, they would
