The game played here between Halifax and the home team Fri- day; July 9th, proved to ! be one of the most interesting: games of the season'. Both teams were in fine shape, and went in the game to play ball ,and win if possible, allowingjthe spectatores to wit ness some of the fastest ' ball playing. ' ' Halifax, with Lee in ; the box, Jordan behind the 1 muzzel, Tracey in short , Lancaster ' the fast "Leaguer" on first, together with Sater, Fenner, . Norman, Greerorv and Fureerson. started the first inning with a whoop, so confident were they that victory was theirs, boon the, table 'was turned, for it was clear to all ;. who witnessed the game that Cuthrell, for the locals, was ; too much for the boys from the Court House, allowing them only 5 hits. !. Henry pitched hard- ball from beginning to end, and at 'all times was given that support which he deserved by. the ? team behind him. Lee, tor the visi tors also pitched good ball, , hav ing good control, and at all times on his job, but the home boys proved to bo too much for him," for he was hit hard eleven times, some of which being long rangers. . ; - It might be well said that all round ball ; playing, and heavy hitting caused Enfield to give Halifax the decisive beating of 6 to 4.
