THEIR VISITORS.
FIELD WORK WAS BRILLIANT
Many Worse Games Seen In the
Southern League This Season, ana
the Spectators Are PraisIng Play
ers and Management.

What was pronounced to have
been the best game Of ball since the
days of the cid association was seen
at riverside Park Thursday after
noon when Cornersville and Columbia
met for the first time. All during
the forenoon and the early afternoon
the game and the INDIVIDUALS to take
part therein were discussed about the
city until there was an intense inter
est until the contest started, and
when the fireworks did open both
players and auditors were whetteG to
a keen edge.
From the beginning it was seen
that it was to be a struggle between
we'll matched teams.
All the way through the game the
battle ragged, not moment being
taken by either team for a breathing
spell, it was fight, fight, fight, with
the spectators holding their breath
at times, and at other times break
ing forth in peals Of applause as
some brilliant play was made, flrst by
one side and then by the other. The
score was Columbia 4, Cornersville 8.
There was no less than twenty-one
fly balls caught, nine of these going
to the outfield. Only one fly bail was
touched in the outfield that did not
go for an out and this was by Nc
Clintock, left fielder for the visitors.
Two other balls dropped back of the
infield that should have been outs
but had to gu for hits. This was &C.
casioned by the infielders backing
ing into the out fielders. Hunter
was decidedly the star for the visit
ors, accepting seven chances without
bobble, one of which was a figh
foul fly in back Of the string Of autos
facing the third base line. He hit
the ball hard every time up but was
only able to place his first effort, it
going for three Dagger.
Rayburn, who has been playing an
infield position, was shifted to center
field and did star work.
In the first inning Hardison manag-
ed to score after landing for two
Dagger. The visitors put one over in
their half of the inning, and then ii
was one, two, three, for five innings.
In the seventh Rogers was walked,
and Turner and Sweeney hit in sue
cession, scoring Rogers and Turner,
making the score 3 to l in favor OF
the Cornersville team.
At the beginning of the eighth
Rummage got punch in the Stats
and went to first, Parks few out to
third, but Frazier got a hit. With
Rummage on third anu Frazier on
second johnson got his second hit of
the game and scored the two base
runners, and was scored a moment
later when Hardison got another two
Dagger This ended the scoring for
the game and gave the victory to
the home boys.
There was not a kick nor muir
muir on the part of any one in con
nection with the game and it was de
cidedly the best class of ball tina. has
been seen in Columbia for a long
time. Clean and snappy at every
stage the spectators came away from
the park pleased with what they had
seen and praising the players and the
new management
