cnurch' and was an elouuent address
one that appealed to the LOYALTY and
PATRIOTISM OF e. cry true American cir
izeh. Inc sentiment expressed was
worthy or the occasion, and stamps
WIZ. bauman as speaker of more than
ordinary ability. AT the close the
speaker was warmly applauded
Inc afternoon was given up wholly
10 sports, and every minute had an ey
cltennent for the vast crowd collected
at the ball grounds, which was the
nnlsh OF the race track, ard where all
the athlete sports We're pulled off.
Inc popularity of the national snort
was demonstrated by the large and
enthusiastic crowd that collected at
the grounds when time was called for
the game between Chesaw and Oro-
vile. The grand stand was packed. a
dense crowd lined the diamond. while
many vehicles loaded with people oc-
cupied points of vantage The crowd
was generous and wholly non-parti-
san Tor applause was freely bestow ed
upon every good play made, and good
plays were numerous on both sides
AND 1t was game to stir excitement
to the highest pitch, for no better am
ateur game has ever been seen in the
county. The teams were made up
wholly of home players. with no ad-
vantage as to skill on either side, and
the score was So close that it was any
body's game up to the retirement of
the last batsman. A more gentleman
ly collection of hall players than the
Chesaw boys have never been seen on
the local grounds. They are crack
players, tCo, and dead gam sports.
Once or twice when it looked to a
person on the side lines as though
they had kick coming the visitors
went right on playing without Il pro-
test, and the crow d admired the spirit
manifested. Hcdger had the heavy
Chesaw batsmen at his mercy, as
they could not locate the bal safely.
p. Mcintyre also pitched a great game,
having shade the best of it in the
number of strike outs He was mys-
terry to the local sluggers. who found
it impossible to get the ball out Of the
diamond. II Mac had had perfect sup
port the game would probably ended
in a tie, 0 to 0. for while the visitors
made only very few errors every run
scored against them was due to slips
by ieldcrs. This was hard lack, as it
is not often that few errors prove
to be so fatal. Very few balls got be-

out All four of the flies taken by the
Orovile out field were difficult

only four safe hits were made in nine
