Shelby and McAdenville played three fine games of base ball on the Shelby diamond laat Wednesday afternoon and Thursday. The first game Shannonhouae aad - McBrayer composed tbe Shelby battery and the score stood 10 to 12 in favor of • Shelby. Thursday morning the score was 6 to 3 in favor of Shelby with Williams pitching and Rowe catching. In the afternoon tbe game was hotly contested and was inter eating from start to finish. During the first part of the game several runs were made, bnt for aeveral innings each aide took goose eggs, and tbe score was even—11 to 11. They played the full nine innlngband the score was atill unchanged, and they played on thirteen in nings ana still no change, so each aide agreed to stop and called tbe game a draw, as it was nearly sundown and the McAdenville players had to leave on the Soother, passenger train. The laat game was the most exciting. The feature of the game was tbe heaw batting and the good field work of both teams. Three home runs were knocked—one by Lattimore and one by Rowe for Shelby, and one for McAdenville by their crack catcher. Shuford pitched good ball for the visitors, aa did Shannonhouae aod Williams for the home team, aod the catch ers for both teams did except ionally good work. Rowe is a very live player.
