' With only & hand full of Waahing??&

a whole army of hoettle Greenville

team showed a grand reversal
of form yesterday afternoon and
trimmed Greenville at the fatter**
grounds by the score of 6 to 3.
Barnes deserves a lage share of
i the credit for the reenlt of the con- 'r?
test. -He came bach, strong, and
those of the Greenville players who
Hit him bard In Monday's game,
trere made to look foolish yesterday.
He had everything and his fast ball
almost took Red 6IT his* feet. Only
four hits were made by the Greenville
players, theft three runs being
.hugely Ohe. to a bpnch oL wild peg^
" by the Washington infield. Barnes
struck cat sixteen of the opposing
SkL ' batters, which Is, as far as can be
kj \ learned, this season's record for am.

; V Tayloe and Cowell did not . piny
yesterday. Davenport caught and
V, IV bat. He oaught several fonl tips on
M the tast strike, something that very
'gtJ few catchers are able to do off
Barnes' delivery. Joiner of Farmit
