MARIANNA FoRFEITS A
GAME TO GREENWOOD.

Greenwood, April 3.-The game
with the Mariana club and the locals
was a batting feast, in which .ie
the Mariana team had a little ihC
best side.
The locals took a balloon ascension
in the first and second innings, MAX
ing many errors, which gave the op-
posing team IA taIIies.
However, Greenwood played an I'D
hill game, and all that saved Mcr-
ianna from an unglCTiOus defeat was
that they quit in the Sth inning, when
Greenwood had tailed eleven times,
and had two men on bases with only
one out Cannon was batted hard in
the first part of the game, but pitch
Ell good ball during the last. He
received very ragged support
FendIeson for Mariana, was very
easy for the locals. The features Of
the game was two home runs, one
